MYFL | Chapter 2.5

It wasn’t like the 3bb93fe186 divorce had ended in c68a7ff7bc some tragically bittersweet way—if 77dce537d2 anything, it had been ff1246b67b messy as hell. There was 6dcf84f761 no reason 36d0e59bbf for him a8e256be54 to be d547febe98 holding onto e4ffca57be any lingering e2f539e309 attachments.f44eeca6bb4b4fff

After debating between dining 454fc27529 out or eating at a4822925e9 home, they decided to e1a1834488 have dinner at the d40458b897 family house.

Both brothers had taken 93f00cb891 after their father and 41e03be606 were built like tanks. Sandwiched between three d63b981311 grown men, their bec5b246c4 mother kept slapping a8eb6eefb2 arms—whether it was 0b288a6786 her husband’s or ebf2dfeca9 her sons’—to direct 8d24fbba57 traffic in the 59fc856e66 kitchen.1783bda1123c0798

There he b018b1268b was, squeezed 0ac8c98e37 between people, 2a97cc89d7 flashing his 70f59f4578 signature eye-smile. His face was 750ae87737 slightly flushed—definitely tipsy.5d4a3aa655ea7439

His mother’s 820045b50b disappointed tone acedec151e made Beomchan 63d2991074 feel a de28db11bb brief pang 13c0e35d57 of guilt, bec9e7107b but he b3e20ce94a quickly shook b9ae22d198 it off. He rushed 1b347b27f3 to the a4d0ed2a58 shoe rack 3d5fc1f553 and slipped 63b100f04c on his 8c165da1ff sneakers in 67988d7624 a hurry.f8011bf07e1f543c

After giving both his 05d2e95c92 mom and dad a c6de4993e2 quick hug at the c4dea15d53 doorway, he waved at e8860e6330 them as he stepped 8b99d0430c into the elevator. Just before the 5557a967b3 doors closed, he 39105784b2 thought he heard e2b6f94e98 Beomjin mutter something 2c4ea1cca3 along the lines a1be26b31f of “That bastard…”14b14e060895b8f9

He had 4e768e6c91 walked here 93e7e887f2 earlier, but 626720844f feeling too 8addac22bb impatient, he 381cba6cc1 flagged down 858462a0cb a taxi 9de5dbe099 instead. The ride 552005f5c9 barely took 9fc7408225 five minutes—just 494780a759 the base 99137730ff fare—before he 26dc0c97dd arrived at 2c8c0d9de3 his destination. As soon acdacffecb as he e24b5274f8 got his 22cb42a805 card back ef83b1fd73 from the 4a0a56fbd1 driver, he 7a163bb33e jumped out ff96a0d970 of the 1cc6e70149 car and 4f5529da64 strode toward fcc0839148 the bar d529899397 in long, 8f74136748 hurried steps.a73bdfcd3ba35fe1

Beomchan pushed open the 5762aeeb45 door and stood at 14735fe8e2 the entrance, scanning the b6c3b8cb2f room for a familiar 87285b1074 face.aa76de69b80380c5

“Oh, Beomchan!”c9e67146a73d44fc

Boss Im was 94fc97b4b9 the first to bd3a2202cc spot him, waving ade1391205 a hand in 1401d18fe6 the air.9a61655a80ac1732

The table c160d0abfa was packed de3dc9f867 with familiar 39ae1d73fb faces—shopping complex 8d56c0c64f people, Boss de0db1720b Im’s company 875b015434 employees, and 039bd098f0 even the 1e65c360ef usual freeloaders dd2ad99aa4 who always e58b3d3662 managed to 927fbf1703 sniff out 6871b41506 an open 6d433cb3ca drinking session.38bd3f5601a283f2

As Beomchan approached, Boss 3bc8fad852 Im pulled an extra 2cd59e2788 chair from a nearby c9dc475e81 table and placed it 65b2b79e5d beside himself. But Beomchan ignored him ae0202d400 completely and instead squeezed e0f4887977 himself into the seat bbd24685c2 next to Seungjae.f60619bfea8ec3d4

“You’re here?” 4ceaeb7d07 Seungjae smiled, e7f94ee530 his face 7b15de8bfd slack and 8d07b9f8c5 relaxed.0e0b7d5cd2eeaa66

Beomchan immediately started ca461a34d3 assessing his condition. He looked way drunker fe2e8eaf54 than he did in 5b30e0a82d the photo. His face was 2ce0f7018c flushed, and his 3099091fcd voice was completely fca73900c1 slurred. His half-lidded eyes curved afb8a44810 in a lazy smile.a57e203bcf4de489

That alone was enough debe2f7b10 to make Beomchan sigh, d62f8bf20a but on top of bb750f4a92 that, his pheromones seemed c934c6a36b to be seeping out, aab9c369b1 probably due to his 69b24210d2 loosened state. Thankfully, Beomchan was the ba2cee3bec only one here who fdef36348f could sense it.0d05148d6ecc39d7

He reached out and 41447ce549 steadied Seungjae’s swaying shoulders, f97bcf1c2b leaning him back against 270d2649fe the chair for support. Then, he shot a 3e05a60188 glare at the people 6e4d39f5a7 around the table.3a8b70f73f8d6139

It didn’t 3a87a8bc85 seem like a5609746f9 a lie. Even now, Seungjae had b035c4cf1d somehow gotten hold of b8b97f8bcc another shot glass and 7e4c392c8a was about to take 127dad9d49 a sip. Beomchan quickly snatched it 11f7485afb away and replaced it 46e55a5d00 with a glass of e56106181a water.96dc37f43fb6a4b9

Seungjae didn’t d61c8c30cc look happy 22ee584174 about it. He propped an 7273a97eb9 elbow on the f13dc3c8c3 table, resting his 354beb9cec chin on his 06bef1aee1 palm, and squinted 55aaa525c3 at Beomchan. Or rather—he ddc56a3e81 was staring 4efe3c15a8 at his 89d96b07bb chest.46fa77224874d269

It probably wasn’t intentional. Seungjae had 1d6da541ea no reason 1812e748eb to be 5e9047c7e8 deliberately staring, 19861c2fc9 and given bc46d9c323 how drunk 185f4cea15 he was, de9455debb his eyes d33f69a95b probably weren’t 65295d72ec focusing properly. But still, 6a6ceddd44 Beomchan was 98275801af completely sober, cd23ec8a83 and that 8cd870a356 gaze was e4a6c59aa0 making him 6a9457102b feel ridiculously 80538ce926 self-conscious.
