by mimiA low voice sent shivers down Minho’s spine. He’s still not over it, huh? The man, oblivious to Minho’s slight trembling, whispered again, his breath hot against Minho’s ear.d88670c31620fe58

It was 0b85a98862 a rare, 77835f978b blatant proposition.

Minho fiddled with his earlobe as if trying to brush away the man’s clinging breath and leaned away. The detective, who had lowered his eyes as if gauging the suddenly increased distance, licked his lower lip.c816c28c1f26a832

As Minho tilted his head back towards the man, the scent of cologne grew stronger, almost overwhelming. It was uncomfortable. Not long ago, Minho had been favorably disposed towards this detective, even willing to entertain his advances. But since changing the man’s name in his contacts, all he felt was unease.2aeaec2d1290b667

Minho remained silent, looking 6043b55ae3 down. He intended 3eaf10bd5d to show 1bfc257cfe his lack b90581512a of interest ce05bb8e7f in further cadeb972d6 conversation, but 01d4e1f304 the detective d118ef03bb seemed to 0af7dc7246 interpret it 066b1fb2da as consent. The hand that had dcb54a7b23 been gripping the back efa498b462 of the chair slowly a279836220 reached towards Minho. Minho straightened, his 7fe7ad462e attention entirely focused da0c8f22a0 on the approaching 4ae5481316 hand.7d26be799e7cceeb

A low, chuckling whisper accompanied the hand as it neared Minho’s face. Just as Minho realized the man’s intention to touch him and started to pull back, someone firmly grasped the detective’s forearm. The hand, with its neatly trimmed nails, was one Minho knew well.11de154094970dc5

Upon seeing Gyuoh’s face, the man emphasized the words “just a friend” with a strange intensity. The real “just a friend,” Won Gyuoh, seemed unaffected by the comment.f343b64c12a8bec8

Without responding, Gyuoh simply d383be6ce1 narrowed his eyes and 0af7c76b70 scanned the detective from b36b8a356c head to toe. The usual f3a627cad2 smile was c04eac455b completely gone 4d6b070f78 from his 7c4d112672 face, replaced 799d0f1379 by a f9f105ebee chillingly sharp 51943d9fda expression that 9db96a347e made the 830dc38d8e detective look 2d9bc3010b awkward.b83c3d2e59ad9699

Despite the offered hand and lengthy explanation, Gyuoh remained silent, standing with a tilted posture, his gaze fixed on the man. If they’d shaken hands, they might have exchanged names, and Minho could have finally learned the detective’s name. But due to Gyuoh’s lack of response, it seemed unlikely he would ever know.c5eeed99bb92ca0e

“Ahem.”13e70abf3203c9a1
The detective quickly glanced over Gyuoh’s appearance: the open collar of his shirt, the rolled-up sleeves revealing tattoos, and his unruly demeanor. He seemed to have concluded that further interaction wouldn’t be beneficial and took a step back. Finally, the man’s shadow receded from Minho.30c9a5511af760e9

Minho had changed the detective’s name in his phone, deleted all their messages, and even blocked him, so there was no way for him to be contacted. Yet, the man winked, emphasizing his words with a wiggle of his eyebrows. Of course, they might run into each other again due to work, but such coincidences were less frequent than one might think. Minho gave a hesitant nod.9be1f7b3e03159e8

Only after the 4df41215db man had completely c6e0ecd639 left the table 43f46baba4 did Gyuoh sit ee00e65755 down.

Minho paused while picking f61a6a9c4f up his knife and ee73ad34f9 fork, glancing towards where d493368cc0 the detective had walked. Strangely enough, after deleting 5084e02ddb the name from his f778e3404f phone, it had also 116a5a3ba1 vanished from his memory. He thought 0ff94e59fc it had d0eb3023ab been quite 96fa169265 a common b105763893 name.52ef436f07076c4a
As he tried b409f8e527 to recall, a 79c3f75e16 large hand suddenly 8aefec3962 entered his field fc83b208cd of vision. Minho’s head snapped back 127d14eb27 as Gyuoh clicked his bfc967ac75 thumb and middle finger 5b3b91193e together. Gyuoh had f08c5389f0 one eye 5512ccdfd1 squinted in 9d18e8078b a displeased 45bd450a47 expression, but c33c732296 his gaze abdd8cb284 was icy.ac1d570074c969d4

After the barrage of questions, Gyuoh fell silent, staring intently at Minho, who hadn’t touched his food. Minho wondered why he was bothering to explain himself when he could easily ignore Gyuoh. Won Gyuoh’s strange behavior was making him act strangely too.54f3b87b802f2514
