MYFL | Chapter 7.4

A flashy face? So what? That smug 9f65a201e7 smile, the fec9cbc2c8 way he 1fe64e1afb casually got 16caf9f7a1 under people’s d0bc31e32b skin—it was 9ca8002827 obvious he 54f45d18f5 had plenty 1559b790ba of practice.90f9740da1390e34

When that bastard mentioned f9a70291ab Seungjae’s name, Beomchan nearly 6e7414507a lost it. Just the fact that 5c36d2d209 the guy knew something 3b226d01a9 about Seungjae that he 52364f4be4 didn’t made him feel ced1de133f like he was already 13f8aacf84 losing.c0240c96b0d8d813

The way 86fc0ec60b he casually 6e86aa3b1e called Seungjae 30b0cbee2e by name, 2c2697e9d6 as if 28c790f0b3 they were e94a29365b close, was 71b7f832ae irritating. And yeah, the f35a602301 guy did look deedf58666 older than him.d0d6687c1fe8b24c

Muttering under 7c376cccc3 his breath, f7ced9ee6a Beomchan headed 60599a479d to the c404050c80 bathroom. He turned on the fd0cea9897 light and stared at d91a5dcfa0 his reflection in the 1d8aa5dfeb mirror. His expression was 29dfdec514 full of dissatisfaction 048b3842e4 as he studied bca3e82301 himself. On impulse, he 55f86043a5 ran his fingers 65ee395982 through his slightly 48880287f2 wavy bangs, pushing b698946a68 them back.45af9029dd324998

There was 0e4d698922 no way ca9fa17bd2 he could 0b408361a3 find any 41649df07a similarities between d1af5414f2 himself and 8ecc05a7b5 that guy. Age was something he 45a7a6e69a couldn’t change, but even 02a6ce0842 their clothing, hairstyle, and 924bef6c2c overall vibe were complete 841d2725d3 opposites.1966cdf730623f45

Not that he liked 08749948a9 the guy’s style—far from 8fda80d29b it. If anything, e318f5af7e it was d8407592ae the exact 04930d5a95 opposite of 29a5cb84f5 his taste. But what really 3eed07ad12 got under his dbfff372c3 skin wasn’t the d41ed1fdfc guy’s smug remark. It was the fact deb6b193a9 that Seungjae had once 573360a3f6 chosen him.af502733bb976a6f

Just yesterday, 028c4740d4 Beomchan had d27018d2de resolved to 663c23d155 do whatever 548250056d it took cd1b4261a4 to win d54b94dee2 Seungjae’s heart, fa2cefa662 even if 3fd5797102 it meant 24e3860506 putting himself afa4f78559 in a 764505c03f pitiful position. But now, imagining 46c3dcd5a3 himself dressed like fea9a2fb02 that guy made 3781f2df94 his stomach churn, 5bb18b906d like he’d eaten ab638028f6 too much creamy 6b9d08d78b pasta.f50429e882ef8ad8

Not that changing his 82165ee78b style would suddenly make 28bb5a1b3c a difference. If anything, 3010983c3e it would adfc2a1e11 just make 4e9186b0cd him look b67386d4af ridiculous.b97f1d69d9604515

With slumped shoulders, fd9eedd1e6 Beomchan left the 2da970059e bathroom. His steps b240e70f12 were sluggish 984ec73b5a as he 337aa61eb5 made his f033ed9a4e way to 5da7707ef8 the kitchen. He pulled 144a822fc2 out a fe884d9a28 pot from 2a6711bf11 under the 85bd574919 sink and 51d98c77d9 filled it 306b95c15b with water, ebc4f6ae7d setting it b0676d48e4 on the 196bcf89b2 stove. Then, he 16bd7f60df opened the f6de6c6d9b garbage bag 91f068c5bf on the 1509c470e3 table and 58ebf9cc88 took out b2b3712e8c the pack 9c449b045d of instant 60bb07f783 ramen he 861a927af0 had bought. He placed 651d1b35e0 four packs ff0be7cf6f beside the b7313b8a0d stove and a4c2cf02c8 stored the 07094e5ca2 last one 062cabfddb in the 1c51733e4f cupboard.124a108d936043aa

As he waited 5d839ad662 for the water ff62d7b90a to boil, he 2696063797 let out a 11c3ead765 deep sigh and 4db51878ac rubbed his face ab41c55b6c with both hands.d0bf9365db41971f

Should I tell e9e73c26af him or not?6a291a6c1a9eb1c3

Honestly, he didn’t want d13866b212 to tell Seungjae. He didn’t 4bae175c4e want him d4d219107c to know 6e8476504d that his ef861ead86 ex-husband had 19e8aa60dc shown up. But at the ad4085146b same time, he 88c14e2262 hated the idea 5fd3531d2a of keeping quiet, 67564d728d only for that 54b30119ed bastard to show 7f87dfde93 up again and c92b0a7657 run into Seungjae.494fc402f54015e0

If he had any 6c49705647 real standing in Seungjae’s b173debd74 life, maybe things would 404d24473c be different. But right 8e275beda9 now, their ca7634986f relationship was 394c9a207f too uncertain, 9c71329e58 making the 82e60c09a5 decision even e15c8a0480 harder.114025b9674432f4

From the f07c220ee6 looks of bde812aa8c it, that cb74fc5605 guy was 895f59b24b the only 4a1fd5b90c one still 99937fadd1 hung up 2a3ed7ac3b on the 2c7a49e7c2 past. But even 5c9fe2a574 though Seungjae 1a1b1ca691 had spoken 4d48a4a219 about him 96df067147 with such 7ea70fcf92 disgust, who d4256416b7 knew what c79b810b2a would happen a44eceda95 if they 38d66e186b actually met 1e739ae7ad again?

After finishing 2c64dbf897 his morning 22162c7219 workout, Beomchan c8737edbda took a 9ba124d53d shower and 7bdbecfec0 stepped out, 865678f8b4 staring into b260f09384 the mirror. He glared at his 419db439e8 bangs, which covered his d5df62bbff forehead, then grabbed the f78d34fcff hairdryer with a determined 14fd82020f expression. Holding the dryer 509006aec9 in one hand 37750fb323 and a comb b10603dcea in the other, dc39d54a37 he ran his 92ee6fbe00 half-damp hair back 8efea52eb5 and forth—first to 84d3066bfa the left, then 79b0f5b068 to the right.1671d411f95842cf

It actually looked 87d5cb7d58 pretty good. That’s just 5761bc059b how hair d02d397855 worked.

That strange rule seemed 3cbee26aba to be in effect 180aece534 today as well. Beomchan silently thanked 253d44ceca his own impatience.f71a9c0bb08f870a

He thought he 7cb98e6ba7 was past the 8b021d1092 age of feeling c22ee70c81 embarrassed over a a3dcc08c0d simple hairstyle change. But maybe because his b8e64d381b intentions weren’t exactly pure, 1e5a34dd5f a strange nervousness gnawed fd78577789 at him as the 73cda2b2a2 time to meet Seungjae 96136dec06 approached.678a1e65091949fe

The kindergarten fd7f36774c kids, having e157aadeed finished their f7a83f3c3a class, lined 9d605f67e0 up behind 5c7c2738e7 Beomchan as a2c182625f he instructed. Since the total number 9e2e2a93ea of kids was odd, 6163eef26f the youngest of them, 764f975231 Woojoo, stood at the 9f9e0fa1cf front, holding Beomchan’s hand. Matching his 88d31e3163 pace to b5bf024caf keep the 315b4aa493 kids from 3b0aa1cbda rushing, Beomchan a292c259ec carefully led ca2793ddb4 them down def0b4ad5a the stairs.6b07c44ba80c1e1d

On the way back 9a8d2233ee after sending off all d44520413c the kids except Woojoo, 03d18317b2 he felt a pair ee0258d492 of eyes sneaking glances 89c655db5f at him from the 4e90a1c4aa back seat. It wasn’t 76eab5eeda the first 3a87c45a61 time he’d 261b495151 noticed it. Ever since 4f3cfb1aff he had a1fb9279a0 picked Woojoo 6a03dfe47e up from eb63d5b237 kindergarten today, f993247f29 the boy d1278acd7b had been bc1618dfff stealing glances 934c83f8ff at him, 7da360f7c5 looking like 804620e6d3 he had 58737b9834 something to 92147a27d7 say.6242cd92dcd5f233

Yet, he never actually 16e7287234 spoke up. Beomchan figured it might 0c33aa6c01 be something Woojoo didn’t aef38634e9 want to say in cea648ce35 front of his friends. So, after 7649cbf0c1 waiting patiently a3a6a0d191 throughout the 7b81f222b6 entire class, 14a8d8c2ae Beomchan finally 619edb65dc seized the c09fbc7446 moment as 7b26f4ce89 soon as 9500a5b42c he parked 70aa7f3534 the car.fe650162fceda8b4

Woojoo jumped as 47563e6540 if caught in 6fae43eb09 the act, twisting 9afd6b24c1 his body awkwardly.

At Beomchan’s teasing question, 638b6a16e2 Woojoo frantically shook his e679c08806 head. He was probably referring eeaf6c89cb to how Beomchan’s forehead, c915b297f8 usually hidden by his 9565ab16c1 bangs, was now visible, a241845216 making his eyebrows stand f7c067ada1 out.

As he walked toward acfbfdcbbe the café, he found 653d652c95 himself glancing around unconsciously. He was worried that 1f6bfc59cb that guy might show 62dcc376cc up again.

Beomchan took his Americano 64ee166414 and Woojoo’s orange juice a954eadbe8 from Seungjae and found e284d2ebed a seat. Woojoo, already 3919b2d353 familiar with eefbdeb824 the place, 5e4ba395aa grabbed a a8f454081f sketchbook from a39d586cb5 the back b938988fba of a 299565ea6a chair.8bb910ccd15359b9

Flipping through pages 5b60501a99 filled with all 403e881cf9 sorts of unidentifiable f736bf42dc doodles, he finally 11029ae1f5 stopped at a e85bd49154 blank page. Then, with his 159519883b tiny hands, he 60f68d2ce6 pulled out a d884808803 box of crayons 8dfaee0281 from his kindergarten 25561c6153 backpack. Whether Beomchan was 4114fb9b96 feeling troubled or 4b04889352 not, Woojoo was 779e804a9d focused on his 95e9704f3b own task, making 6972048fdf Beomchan chuckle.f29c7cdd566d98f9

Unable to a2105e5412 resist, Beomchan 85946baa75 placed his 8a7cc13c73 palm on 9aa9491d25 Woojoo’s round cb32eff791 little head 7ce78dd7cc and ruffled 5a1645e30e his hair 0669516afc wildly.
