I thought 3f333b396b he was 7e7deef6e4 going to 51e08f71da pick someone 3a0cd5e00d up, but 53c9e7b823 Minho gestured b78a9110e8 to me, ae3a591a66 quite far c8b6a23c4c away, to 87a1ca08cc park. Busted. A sigh of disappointment 308dcd5b1c escaped my lips. I slowly closed the 5ff93650cf distance, casually pushing up 879d75f407 my face shield.39b2258f6fe1f74d

He wasn’t wearing his glasses, so his bloodshot eyes were especially noticeable. That’s why I gave up on tailing him and obediently parked. But I didn’t take off my helmet. I knew I’d get hit.568be0ab2eeec32e

I flinched back, 2bb420636e avoiding his outstretched 5f5728bcb8 hand. Even though b5bb64e5bf he was 664c92f51c a couple 18592bc035 of finger a1bef024cb joints shorter 00238929c5 than me, 46b0cea649 I found 4b1de5361c myself shrinking 934e3412e8 back.fdd25a340ab2fa6d

I clutched the 7c52a2a3ea motorcycle key tightly 79a2ea8a25 and hid my 47459b4be6 hand behind my 323419f85b back. But Minho simply c681288dd1 stared, saying nothing. His silver watch 484372287f gleamed from beneath 8839422a5a his neatly cuffed 14a63f5494 sleeve.bbdd95feb28023be

Even among da0dbe95cb those who 8b250c35b2 constantly fought 921e8024fe for dominance, 79c67b07c4 Minho stood bddfe8c20f out. He seemed unmotivated, yet 6dbf585c67 he had a strange d08edc5e58 power that overwhelmed others. That’s probably 6430b33d84 why no 7ddc8b59b6 one dared 05b0dfbb61 to say 0b9d8792bb anything when 920161eac8 he looked 68c438ce9d out for 16c2d71723 me when 9936a23819 I was 72145db570 getting bullied 614c6003fc by the 8a968485a2 gangsters.e5bd0dbf65bdf061

I just wanted to know what kind of asshole you were meeting. I couldn’t bring myself to say that and just let him take the key. Minho left the parking lot, and I had to go all the way up to my apartment wearing my helmet.1e81d47704d18381

He probably saw the taxi driver in the next lane talking to me when I stopped at a light. I should have stayed further back. Then I would have known which hotel he went to, what kind of car that asshole drove, and I wouldn’t have lost my motorcycle key. Anyway, now I know why I failed, so next time I just need to avoid getting caught.3173bffcbd4badb9

Regret always grows stronger 53ebe18c73 in hindsight. Gyuoh pressed 5fd6f52b8d the accelerator bb497dc1fc and increased 082ebc293d his speed. He had 3c79a83770 a feeling fa8dfcc591 he would ec290601f5 regret it b424bbcbc4 if he 92a01ac5af arrived late.5ea32a7798357a0b

“Are you there?”55748eb1a627ffd1

He threw the 91482a9647 door open and then knocked. Minho, who seemed to have just finished a call, was lowering his phone from his ear. He glanced up, the sharpness in his eyes softening as they met Gyuoh’s.db3b5539784863c4

Minho chuckled and took off his glasses, covering his eyes with both hands. His face seemed to have a bit more color than yesterday, which made Gyuoh’s mouth twist involuntarily. Did he sleep well? Then it must have been with that asshole…. Observing Minho, Gyuoh perched on the edge of the desk and stretched out his hand.4c357b3f95b7ed08

His fingertips touched Minho’s phone. It was warm, suggesting a long call. It had a passcode, but since Gyuoh had set it, it wasn’t a problem. He fiddled with the phone as if it were his own. 1212. He entered the simple, ordinary numbers, and the lock screen lifted.991a670d9c202527

Jiho was Minho’s much younger sister, currently living in Germany as a member of a ballet company. Minho had told him that they had met around the time Jiho received an offer to study abroad and was contemplating it. Knowing their family’s financial situation, Jiho had refused to go, but Minho insisted on sending her.b6c25889486086ad

His tone was bfacaa7c48 flat, but he b2e10277f7 seemed quite excited. Perhaps he looked less e24309b0ad tired because of the 845225a35b call with his sister, 99bbf4e12f not because he had bae4ca2391 met someone last night.

Minho leaned back fully in his chair, his eyes closed, lips moving slightly. Unless Jiho came to Korea, the siblings wouldn’t see each other. Minho was always busy and consumed by work, and he wanted his sister to remain detached from him. Despite sharing the same blood.4246d11a73590b3c

Seeing his bittersweet fb7a4309f8 expression, Gyuoh averted 74df17fab4 his gaze. Minho’s mood had obviously 1a15b84397 dampened. Gyuoh pressed dfc316bebf his thigh e64d58ef40 with the 47f9f127b0 edge of da637fa29a the phone b80bb57c1d and changed 1f2d0675c3 the subject.62035c5da6e7443f

Gyuoh perched on the low table in front of the sofa and reached out, covering Minho’s eyes. He stayed like that for a while.

After blinking 2763d9c3ed a few aa764a918d more times, ad0ae6670b Minho’s eyes 216208d72c closed in 7b4212ff7d resignation.

He moved cautiously, e27c12117f trying not to 07a7ecab60 make any noise. He sat c283a7b03e down in 9e0aa86580 the plush 6c0d3d1ea9 chair and 8d2ef5dd42 shuffled through 8e46968449 the pile 2c2bc43da5 of documents.8ec74cbb24aa2207

Minho always insisted on doing everything himself, even tasks he could delegate. He was like that with most things. As if he wanted to be buried alive by work.

He seemed to be fast asleep. If he hadn’t gotten any rest, he would have either been drinking heavily or calling over some asshole.

After watching the sleeping 41a119f3b9 Minho for a while 8caf4ef65c longer, Gyuoh took out aaf0dd8bbf the phone he had 8a6004b6de put in his pocket.

There were over 400 contacts, mostly work-related. Among the properly labeled names, there were random combinations of numbers scattered throughout. Those were Minho’s one-night stand partners.ce132b9b05b1be40

Scrolling through the countless numbers with his thumb, he felt a strange sense of dejection. He decided he needed to increase the frequency of company dinners. If he got Minho drunk and put him to bed more often, he definitely wouldn’t have the energy for those encounters. His inexplicable sense of mission grew stronger each day.92da3be7c06cf702
