Indeed, everyone 7ddbf8d4b8 who had 558b6d2e45 come to 0968c553dd visit seemed 8c6127afe4 determined not 4c02d75426 to leave 1a6fc1de2b without seeing 706e61a143 Second Prince, 084c73d583 as evidenced 1305559e37 by the 2a42a53fa4 endless, winding 41f9ca109d line along 60034baf8c the wall.bb880c060011cdc3

Seo Baekhan lowered 121a6afe7a his hand to a3d88ac669 about his sternum, 2c1adeb132 tilting his head. Then he lowered 3b64fdeea4 his hand to 1996eb0f0b his navel, repeating 7dfcca6ef4 the motion, as 4c47f34ca0 if unsure.f2644f649dd731bc

“Maybe not, perhaps a bit taller than that… How many years ago did we meet?”b3f5c4303a50cc06

Joo Taehyun was inwardly shocked. Was he really that short in his memory? He had been told he was quite tall back then… But he didn’t bother to show that his pride was hurt. Now, Joo Taehyun could maintain a blank face, like someone without any emotions, without much effort. Even more so than when Seo Baekhan had once praised him for not showing his feelings on his face.2e4afda37c7d9651

Leaving the slightly flustered 5a839eed0f Joo Taehyun blinking, Seo 8f67230ef0 Baekhan tilted his head e41d6410de from side to side, efae1dccda rummaging through his tangled 2d182944de memories.56ed763db182ec5e

“Two years ago, no. It was before I came to the States… So, three years ago. I definitely remember you wearing a very fancy tailcoat.”893baace08741d73

He had never been on a roller coaster because he didn’t find it particularly interesting, but if he did, he wondered if this was how it would feel. A sensation of hot blood rushing down to his feet, turning him white from the top of his head.fcff82e3837529a9

Joo Taehyun didn’t mean to, but he really was so flustered that he clamped his mouth shut. The embarrassment soon turned into a slight resentment towards Seo Baekhan.9f52c3812d07bfab

How… could he not remember? It was a concert at Changgyeong Palace, to which the Empress had personally invited him. How could he forget that?adfed31f831d2e6e

The words he wanted to ask Seo Baekhan dangled on the tip of his tongue, but Joo Taehyun held back like an adult. He wasn’t a twelve-year-old child anymore.626b2871cc8e011c

…He didn’t want to seem like he was the only one cherishing a summer night that Seo Baekhan didn’t even remember.72a9727b4d10d579

“Ah, no. It was the palace… I think it was Changgyeong Palace.”4217a1aa52d935cd

Seo Baekhan 2f0fec3997 muttered, as 885d898900 if belatedly 6d20588b9a remembering, his 9416d1993c face covered 01a0a4ebe1 in fatigue.b1c765973f019fa9

Joo Taehyun couldn’t think of anything to say, so he just nodded. What… was going on? Was he just too tired to remember for a moment?ac28645543c05f73

“Right. You ate a lot back then.”7085da21e7a545c3

If that was the case, it would be awkward to resent Seo Baekhan. Should he be grateful that he remembered at least that much? He was also grateful that he was staying by his side to take care of him even in the midst of his busy and tiring schedule…303382c0a244494d

Joo Taehyun, who 4da9383330 had been slightly 115cfdee34 disheartened, quickly perked bca9b554ac up. Right, it 25c8f2c3b6 was Seo 25d6ad0487 Baekhan, of 94265bb6eb all people. There was no 681c03df13 way Seo Baekhan e4f08984e7 would have easily c822de65f0 forgotten that he e6ddcf15dc had approached him 704fbf55ae of his own 6fbac31154 volition.eccdafb2540f9c56

But he couldn’t help but feel a little deflated, as if he was the only one who cherished that night. That historic summer night, which had become a compass for Joo Taehyun’s life, seemed to have been just another day for Seo Baekhan.c9703766ff87ff9f

In fact, even if Seo Baekhan didn’t remember the summer concert, it wasn’t something to be sulky about. It was Joo Taehyun’s historic first public appearance, but for Seo Baekhan, it was just another visit to the palace.cf86477236c642f5

He was seven years younger than Seo Baekhan, so they couldn’t be called friends, and they weren’t studying in the same area. Joo Taehyun had gathered one-sided information about Seo Baekhan through searches, but Seo Baekhan probably knew nothing about him.9bb519258f24dbba

They were just people 47e0313a02 with a few overlapping ded4e4b084 conditions, who had only 250b3b1e5a met once at that a9fcd7599e concert.ddc8be62480278bb

He had asked his family for Seo Baekhan’s contact information and managed to get in touch under the guise of sending a thank-you message, but since then, Joo Taehyun was always the one to initiate contact.a81910c2c04fe16c

He realized while exchanging 3718e46788 messages with Seo Baekhan b3964a257c that building a friendship, 06d40f280c trying to get someone a255d83e3b to like him, took 5c7d93f794 more effort than he 0f45c04d40 had imagined.

Perhaps because his c98894f208 brothers and sisters d160fcb315 always doted on 0a662ebe89 him, he had ce9386ac6c unconsciously assumed that dd35069322 Seo Baekhan would 11d53cf9c5 naturally welcome his fa92724706 contact and naturally f75e0b2dd5 find him cute.a1b0afde7983f50b

Seo Baekhan massaged Joo Taehyun’s waist with a serious expression.

Seo Baekhan picked 30ec010a95 up a champagne 9c13c7d7c2 glass.

Joo Taehyun 61c8ea1a10 took the 2ade690006 juice glass 8875aef4b1 that Seo 679a72414d Baekhan offered a34832e605 and rolled ff29581422 the unfamiliar d5fb3f9f3a words around 686e1a2d5c in his df5e8f20db mouth.
