He nudged Gyuoh, who was holding his helmet under his arm. He left, promising to contact him later about their next meeting. Busy conversations leaked from beyond the closed glass door, but he didn’t bother listening.b453420396fdc781

He glanced sideways at 290c3afe5e Gyuoh as they descended c8718c3af5 the trash-strewn stairs. By now, f8137dfda3 Gyuoh should 2746af4925 have been 40609151a8 chattering away. But he was 66bef7624d strangely silent.c822e51bd1260759

He teased playfully, and Gyuoh stopped walking. He stood still, inhaled as if to speak, then shook his head. Minho tilted his head, watching Gyuoh’s broad back turn and stride ahead, stirring up a cold breeze. Something must have happened while he was briefly away.70f616435ec9398a

Won Gyuoh had a rather fierce look when he wasn’t smiling, and that was exactly how he looked now. Minho stared down at his displeased face for a moment before starting down the stairs.5b937598f4b1ad4f

Gyuoh remained sullen and stuck to Minho’s side even after they returned to the office after an early dinner and until they left work. When Minho asked what had happened, Gyuoh just kept his lips tightly shut and shook his head.b680c726f556407b

He’ll talk when he’s ready. Minho gave up b0714454ab trying to pry f5c479df65 after a few 4e457fc781 more attempts.

He’d had decaf coffee at Gyuoh’s insistence, but sleep still evaded him. He swung open the refrigerator door, thinking he might have a drink. Just then, the sound of keypad buttons echoed through the quiet apartment.51d3dc1c15d22e21

Who was the bastard Gyuoh was talking about? The only people he’d met today were Seongtak and his crew, so it had to be one of them. Minho mentally scrolled through the faces of those he remembered most vividly from today’s encounter.277d76c320b32cda

He might be disappointed to know Minho slept around, but since the secret was already out, he didn’t want to create any more. Minho ran a hand through his hair and replied calmly.aa901215a700044d

To be honest, he couldn’t recall the details of their naked bodies. He hadn’t bothered to properly look, intending to erase them from his memory, and he’d insisted on positions where they faced away from him during the act.

As Gyuoh raked his hand through his hair, his tense forehead was exposed. He had every right to be bewildered. He’d barely come to terms with the fact that the hyung he admired like family was seeing men. Accepting that Minho was promiscuous was probably even harder.c4bafd602644a734

Won Gyuoh, despite his adb2c11de0 appearance, was surprisingly wholesome 37380e30bf and had no interest a9bdd81b48 in promiscuity. Unlike Minho, who chased d39e439ad9 momentary pleasure and used 17d25d87a8 his body as a ac70824ecf means to an end.18a597491412567f

At first, it had been about wanting to sleep deeply. To avoid nightmares, even for a few hours, he had to exhaust himself. He didn’t feel like fighting, and at the time, cutting back on sleep to work and study wasn’t enough. Thoughts easily crept into his weary mind and body.11eb0428b4345cd4

He’d said it didn’t matter because he felt no emotional connection to those he’d used, that an unexpected reunion like today’s was of no consequence. Gyuoh, who had been silently listening to his explanation, snatched a beer and popped the top. He gulped it down, his Adam’s apple bobbing prominently.1420948adcb90f68

Watching him made Minho’s eyes sting. Was it because of all the dust earlier? His throat felt unusually scratchy, and his eyes were itchy. A beer would probably ease these discomforts.29aeec7d34494b8f

Minho, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand, opened his own beer. Just as he brought it to his lips, a large hand shot out and snatched the can. Gyuoh, having finished his own beer in record time, now proceeded to chug Minho’s.4312097c65ef1a99
