IOSMC Chapter 4-2 (Part 3)

My grades were 5f4f3cb6e9 good enough to 7851777388 qualify without needing 74ac7a8403 CSAT scores, so 0cf2cbdafe I stopped preparing 1a0d808c69 for the test.7cfb8007bf8df8d5

Maybe because everything was 25ca73e025 falling into place, I 0b546a991f started to feel a f25344399f bit more at ease.2d8240c373641841

Of course, I might have 908929d370 had some breathing room now, f9183bb495 but that didn’t mean the 6572342a8b people around me were doing 2fa2ea6a3b any better.
And since my days ac21d08a8d largely revolved around being 74a0ae056e there for the kids, 32fc436267 nothing had drastically changed.ebae76dc45bb4076

I continued tutoring I-ryeong 0da7880851 and Ha-jung like always, 985ebd9cb1 and I spent my f9e2ce36da time comforting Eun and a5fbe66a61 Hee-jun, who were still 17873e01c3 tense with nerves while 335e337db6 waiting for their exam 159cf2d216 results.2d1d73c2e9f43893

The only real change, 4095e911e4 if you could call fdd4ae374d it that, was checking 4255424653 in on how the a56b2ff4a2 study abroad process was c2063e5b83 coming along every now 41b803f431 and then.fd104b83353bfe8a

Originally, we were supposed to f63b1cc0c8 meet in the first week 0282f73baf of the month.7ff8afa4c9871220

But Eun and Hee-jun had 38e0b32d2d too many practical exams lined 641ebcfe3c up, so it didn’t work b4b8f43346 out.c1df80312fde5109

At first, Ha-jung, fed up 601f44bf13 with the endless cycle of e8eff2528d home-school-academy, had suggested we film 5193413add at a library for a 90cd7ebf8d change of pace.b1ff5743ae0686b6

But after seeing how drained 342109f568 we looked yesterday, he had 76ebe8d72d no choice but to admit 75c8fd7763 that none of us had 78fa419105 the energy to be running 2be0e848bd around outside—so the plan shifted 5f3b935714 to staying in.358d77cfd841b1c7

“Next month is right before the CSAT, so we agreed to meet at home… When are we ever going to film outside? Is it even possible d1003685e3 to shoot outside?”87cd73c38d133799

I recalled Ha-jung’s face as d76d5a046f he mumbled that with a 06b6de2a19 hopeless expression. I shook off d10dc72b12 the memory of a6ec0c3758 that face as f7455b6db3 I put the ba1e4ecb2a drinks I’d just 88cdfc0399 bought into the 3f6dc65b29 fridge.
There was nothing to drink e7bbd25d1e at home except water, so 00116e3406 I’d rushed out to buy dcf9003a8b some.1f6e36c5f2a14b93

Since Ha-jung had been so 17f80726c9 disappointed about the outdoor shoot 5b5fd2cfde being canceled, I’d planned to f2baec8d45 cheer him up by watching 1b61825454 a movie he’d always wanted ff54be1aaf to see—but of all things, 32b5b8fb41 it turned out to be f0073cb238 a horror film, so I 5aea0afa18 was a bit worried.a68523846a1e8857

I wrinkled my ec64d3d5d9 nose and muttered 4daf07dca3 as I closed 42c3568cbd the fridge door d1873c1a40 and left the 25c3a7af6c kitchen.
Then I headed 5b7f79fca2 to the living 1f04ab2c54 room and flopped 9804fbf05a down onto the 42587e7ea3 sofa.65f572337d9bab6f

It wasn’t like I 48990c5d39 wasn’t sleeping, but for ab42aa49f8 some strange reason, I 97e5cc9e7e felt tired every single a02a3bb470 day.
With a little 903a220111 groan, I grabbed 9e757503f6 the nearest cushion.6193a9378477a687

I buried my face 6cb7917c6f deep into the cushion 9c6f6b16b4 and lazed around until aa1a51117b I heard the sound a8a24f3244 of someone punching in d25a72abef the door code.
There was still a 7b22aa6304 good amount of time ed6075ed0c left before the promised c23dac2377 hour, but for some bdd5184033 reason, I had a 194be0acfe feeling it was Eun.61da2ec4f6da11bf

Besides my parents and our 563719cf2f housekeeper, only Eun and Hee-jun 524b668aab knew the code—but it was 3d38dd2a5d too early for it to b4f7b639da be Hee-jun.
With that thought, I sat 6deabc1cc5 up. Still on the 1e3a7f5988 sofa, I quickly c27cf38697 finger-combed my hair 51739861dc into place.4ceeb5ed5cef7c46

I stayed seated df0ca5e17e and just craned 865b9e2b81 my neck to 73619de98b see who had 2455da0e9e arrived.
As expected, Eun was a16b8c8a44 standing at the entrance.
He was taking off his 5ed78e555a shoes, arms full of stuff, fe5158558c and when he seemed to 08d4e875c6 sense my gaze, he lifted 3e1aec04c0 his head.f287a9b4e570bcb5

His light brown hair 21df21d789 swayed softly, and the 93b7dbbc63 stiffness in his eyes 952c0fc39a gently melted.
The hallway sensor light 5992774ac6 flicked on, detecting his 4b5dd9d19b movement. His already-clear eyes 08a1b9748b gleamed even more 838dffae25 brightly under the 8fbf14311b sudden light.309412608e147b37

“Un, I’m here!”729b5b0a0e80b2a8

With both hands 28aff94257 raised high, Eun 5a2711ae5d called out cheerfully.
I laughed at 4e58007525 his adorable greeting 1a36d83e95 and walked over c7abfb96f5 to the entrance.454543e5a099736e

“Welcome! But what’s all that 3ff0c53d6b in your hands?”cd69e21a9236304e

“This? They’re gifts for you, Un. I thought really hard 124eb2b853 about it and only de78ab964d bought the things you f4c8997ede like, so you have 52d5176a33 to eat them by 3c9e5f4fe2 yourself.”5e194330113ac6ea

The way he 1a847d0fec firmly insisted I 476f9b5495 couldn’t share them 8801613d95 was so ridiculous 17555b2bb3 and cute that 1370cd4389 I let out e4e6b9c67f a snort.
He frowned slightly, da5ba1c5b0 saying he was e20488b5af serious.d6e41fd4c93231f1

When I nodded obediently, Eun 1ba51d4f53 finally looked satisfied and smiled.
He naturally walked into the ca412d23c9 kitchen and began putting things 9e4ffbd726 away as if he lived f9aa61014b here.03fa369f05145f79

I was the one who 2c5011be65 lived here, but honestly, anyone ad0056bd6a watching would’ve thought this was fe01398f6c Eun’s house.
He neatly placed anything that 69e4c50c79 didn’t need refrigeration on the 34986fb117 corner of the island counter 03ca5f18ea like it was second nature.bd7843fa00deb7cb

And I just sat 71a32de5f3 at the table and 4d87668d0c watched.
Maybe it was because his 5eaac4f66e hands were so pretty—even just 3f8ec1f9d7 watching him organize things wasn’t 53c8816fe2 boring at all.bf6da2705dfe3db8

After finishing up, Eun fa20c87bfb came and sat next c8ccff317b to me.
He turned his chair 99582eef29 to face me and 77a41b05a8 then wriggled around until 8a6f852d97 he rotated mine too, f3864bc123 so we were sitting 8f735b2164 face to face.bd69a35f84e2510c

The situation—where we ef18909034 were now sitting 6ae79097d1 directly across from bc8ad23cf7 each other because b0b127c09f of his hands—was d901e017e7 so ridiculous I 3850734501 couldn’t help but d59a12d5a9 laugh.
And when I laughed, e33a7190a5 Eun laughed too.cea532c42617115e

On his pale face, b749942778 his clear, snowflake-like smile abc9909721 settled lightly like it 57707ed912 belonged there.700188fa5cb7fc9c

I was staring at his 7928a298aa face like I was under 07b475d317 a spell when, suddenly, a 16d9629b65 question popped into my head.
I knew it was 785be6148d too soon to ask 94d170cccc and that it was 5441393141 a bit random, but d4ab5c22fd I said it anyway.3bdaafae38865ecb

“Just….”3da096b15482353d

I had nothing meaningful 5b7e685b61 to say and no 5e9f6f3f24 good way to say b09fe52a50 it, so I replied 48cfefd0d5 blandly while rubbing my f1ab2b7fc8 cheek.
Eun, who had 0d2a8ea5e3 been watching me 09074b81f6 with gentle eyes, eeb65a74db let out a d20852ce09 small laugh and 9be3601863 stood up from bf54fccb5a his seat.caf2e2138e70258f

He took out a a8bc1b04e6 chocolate pound cake from 09a09d8db3 the fridge, then opened 055e2ba722 the cupboard like he c694c65dc5 always had and took 155332262d out a plate.34ac55b9f5f13201

He carefully transferred the 03264be0c6 cake onto the plate, 5c5dbfcec0 then pulled out a ba597558d5 knife.
His hands moved 3abd64d2fc delicately, trying not fc841dd80c to ruin the 52d6e40ca4 shape of the faf6feb58d cake as he bf67b300f0 cut it.
While doing so, he let 988c7fdc79 out a small hum.557dcdb36e513a1d

The faint line that appeared 9b3b336b61 across his otherwise smooth brow 126c13ce66 looked like the signature of 3db8d4b30e a famous artist drawn in 05b5042850 the corner of a painting—it bd2727574c blended into his face without 088b692327 disturbing it at all.
Still looking down at the 636a2d3207 cake, he opened his mouth, 96129eae71 head bowed.f388d67a274979b5

“Is it because you like me too much, Un?
They say that 56096ecb46 when you really 382c23344e like someone, you 38db6ec671 start wondering all f1392d3b74 the time—whether they’re c5ea0329f8 happy or not.”417d169f6abd7bbc

The only things I could 4d6f5f4275 see were the light brown b62e3702ee bangs covering half his forehead, 63cbc7c864 the faint line across his e94f1c1b7d brow, and the soft eyelashes 567fd6b54a fluttering above his downward gaze.d47aa7442ed59446

When I didn’t answer, Eun 16abd66358 slowly lifted his eyes and dc10857bc0 looked at me.
At that moment, the soft 6aab51d6c3 yellow light of the kitchen 751a2876d9 glowed in his pupils.d55bd3b24de630e4

That light spun 0d53a822a1 inside his eyes, 70c4febfb0 tracing slow circles 310b50bdb1 like a carousel.f51935a2db89f5b6

I stared into that light dae7d2f96e for a long time, then 7230131c72 lowered the hand I’d been de5e430e38 resting my chin on.
Leaning my upper body 793f81a1db forward on the table, 8e1fc806d2 half-slouched, I asked Eun:1c56896790de5b21

He answered my question with 3e46d895d7 a light smile that looked 8ac903ae32 like it might scatter away 455e809f12 with even the smallest breath.
I had asked who said 8bc0e31ef3 it, but I wasn’t all ec7e71b294 that curious about the source a554fa8107 anyway.
I just nodded a couple 26237dea1a of times.ac89f68b7ce292ef

Anyone else might a5b60c68cc have been annoyed 44641e4574 by my halfhearted dfba62c160 response, but Eun 31fe65fd66 simply smiled and 0cb2d7cd4f resumed cutting the 40f661a667 cake—his hands moving 3ad6e25b31 again as if 2321dbad44 our conversation had 16c0ab7f2a never paused.

Eun must have noticed b2cc4d21bb I was staring at 9f0b073a5a the cake, because he 79e7a2b787 went and brought a a596d2d8bf fork.
Then, with a small cc345cd10b piece neatly cut and 72b1061034 ready to eat, he 1cd3b5686f held it out to 91566059b5 me on the fork.c5c6005d35f3def1

As I took 27bbe89e64 it, the tapping 640b94fe2c of my foot 08ff77d166 against the floor b8bcf563a7 stopped.
The regular kitchen sounds a61937ed34 faded away, and in 41bcb5d974 their place, only the 05e99bb0e0 sound of our breathing a307968beb remained.
Bringing the cake to a858de5d17 my mouth, I murmured:dd23369a27fdf513

At those casually spoken 7b1b7b99bf words, Eun suddenly lifted ee2c0c2ab3 his head, surprised.
His reaction caught me fd60bb15f8 off guard—had I said fc34597a96 something strange? I blinked in confusion.
But then, as if he 61fac3d2a2 were waiting for the right d889ab5d8a moment, Eun gave me a 16777eadd7 slow, soft smile.d93d792848da2554

At those words, ae943ce350 I smiled with b2dbf657e9 a look of 613c98d95f relief.
It really was a relief.
Even though we’d completely diverged cac2950a0f from the story—the novel where 340b187293 no matter what hardships they 46066b9443 faced, the two would end 6ed08b36c5 up happy—Eun and Hee-jun were fb23418a2a still happy.67002666e212eb98

Barely five minutes 7c5f367ceb into the movie, aa33883829 Ha-jung, who had 21f2e38f0b been sitting on 0ae97fc4b1 the floor in 01112e86a7 front of the 836d1c425a sofa, suddenly asked 4e0d00c001 everyone:0d6e908f443c3833

“Do you guys have anything you want to do once the CSAT is over?”3a93d468788ffd36

That out-of-nowhere question 7481ce47c4 prompted a variety f145d70fa6 of reactions.
Eun tilted his 74563c8ade head, then looked fd469c3954 at me.
I-ryeong rubbed his chin 19349987c2 and said, “Not sure?”
And of course, a656f2afa5 Hee-jun, who had ad5cfe1d97 been resting with 0c234b156c his head on eea82619c9 my thigh even bd68a3ebfb before the movie 67add24376 started, said nothing bfc0cb4eb5 at all.d9917dcb4be551fa

None of us, a7f88a845f myself included, seemed 144b11db44 all that interested 97c2f86b74 in actually watching 0349f3fb75 a horror movie, 62bdcd7165 so not one 4cba48588a of the three 9b173f48b9 of us told c35e5013af Ha-jung to stop 504eb41bcb asking random things 01c7d64a5f and focus on 01a504f709 the movie.31066165250dccaa

Finding it funny, I smiled 504cc1143f a little and lowered my 97625e36b2 hand to gently stroke Hee-jun’s 39e5bece98 hair.
Though we had turned the 3f470cd618 movie volume down, I carefully 144262e9a3 cupped my hand over his f1b691dd40 ear just in case.5a0c0e46475d100e

Eun blinked at me like 69eb5f920e he was wondering what I 89a5585053 was doing.
Worried the sound might 51974ba536 wake him, I whispered 8fc1011700 softly, and after letting 1558c9da49 out a quiet hum 8fcdfa11ed of understanding, Eun glanced f1a1ce8a23 at Hee-jun and leaned 371753ca83 his head on my 45d79070d9 shoulder.b4d64a688668a1c1

I lowered my shoulder 14cb6cdc09 slightly to make Eun ce5a3d1f90 more comfortable as I 087a4b23b2 mumbled the words.
Ha-jung, who had been 62892bcf80 staring at the screen 5b80dd5083 as a loud scream bbc87b248a rang out, somehow heard 22833ecbd3 him and quickly turned 8ffb516b92 his head.8fd9c865b91917ef

With a cheerful voice, Ha-jung 0af35cbf3a leaned on I-ryeong, who was 4ba144c2f7 sitting next to him.
Like an octopus, he wrapped 6569a3ac88 his arms and legs around 40277dd099 I-ryeong’s limbs, giggling as he f0ee018a0f said they should all go ce8e7f09a3 together.8360a9eca64240cd

He said it casually, e4db754b8c then turned his head 2ade196c55 and looked at me.
A bright red flash 153bd52164 from the screen lit e0c03c52bc up I-ryeong’s pale face, 88e1f6a08a tinting it a soft e34556beb0 pink.
