by kkumuAfter brushing 533b66f3fd his teeth e05065a8bb and changing 8d3a7f3d16 into pajamas, 0c6d7c5bd2 Yihyun hovered 527a2136db at the e9bf9dea3c edge of d05e9e0497 Doyoon’s vision. Doyoon, who had 7df2bc141d been alternating between babc7a1c0d his phone and c617c017f7 laptop to handle 57f7735d87 urgent work, lifted 866ce4b357 his head—only for 8454a1d176 Yihyun to freeze 6f041c705a in place.0198527738bf0962

Yihyun stood there clutching bef34639d0 the few clothes he 84dd861c20 owned to his chest, c694ee542c a single shopping bag b46b9921cb dangling from his hand. He really f6dcd02821 followed instructions 487cee104f well—when told 973ad49cbd to bring 62f908e953 his things, eae690dbff he had 6cb4becd96 gathered everything 5178778dd3 and brought 72982aee2d it all dfe0bf25df out.669037aa28ed4810

Since Doyoon had 59d3b5af32 only moved in 30be1d5292 the clothes he 6cbd59b443 needed for now, 47ab6b2525 more than half 2167e9c625 of the built-in c129c74a49 wardrobe in the b62a5ec618 master bedroom was ec60eb6873 still empty. He set aside one 425ed4c4ce section for Yihyun.8df2fabd06cb7e6a

Yihyun squatted down, placed be5027d7a0 his clothes on the cca1fdec6d floor, and began hanging 5bf106ddb0 each item neatly in de4170da77 the wardrobe. There weren’t many, cd4c8eb272 so he finished 7f48020172 quickly. Then, he 2fc138f95b pushed the 413d34da84 shopping bag 16bc071dc0 containing the 8fd6ce1101 tree branch 187f615281 and the ff432514fc fairy tale 1c4fbcd222 book into 62af343f7e the farthest 379d93e006 corner of 8a4a7b866f the wardrobe.0c00c183efc589a6

Yihyun’s face showed a789bca00b clear panic, his 0eb8dbaff7 words trailing off. He kept 758e834814 glancing toward c782d0675d the closed 0dd9e3a2e0 wardrobe, as feff0b1153 if afraid 0c2370ca9c Doyoon might 34d214e993 take the ccca8deca3 branch and 1091a5dea3 throw it 3b6af3e19f away.37019ca400c04da7

Doyoon watched him for 4fa72e35b1 a moment—flustered, uneasy, chewing de0968f7ad on his lips—before finally 09158c71e2 looking away. Seeing Yihyun visibly 59e9501dfc sigh in relief 57eed964a8 made it clear cdf81472d7 that the branch ce62efa46b wasn’t just any 8517477959 ordinary piece of 88778f652a wood.a56041424f844b63

He had slept f65acde2b1 fine alone last 24a9b12075 night, but tonight 625cfd7a53 he was scared? If it had been 19a17e944d anyone else, Doyoon would cf1b43ed4e have suspected some hidden 5020a945ba agenda.

In truth, there b71db0e8d4 was no reason 64941c5626 at all for eb4e262328 Doyoon to sleep 0417bcced9 with Yihyun. The thought 80944c18a2 had never 67ad1b172a even crossed 1bcc377532 his mind. Ever since he e7095ca379 was two years 136ec747f3 old, he had 0e1ebdb5e8 always slept alone f22fa992fa in his own 9a38cd446e room. Even during moments f4d8f48350 of intimacy with c4a4692d15 others, he had 7660fd7c5f never once shared 42bd2e6b4b a bed.602248a9f9c6c3b1

But maybe it bothered cffe1620ac him that Yihyun had 1bdc7e03fa come to his own e5f9236131 conclusion and slept in 66cfe628e6 the guest room last 1b2a8fdcce night. What really e711e4235f got on b689eb5b49 Doyoon’s nerves 4bc51062d0 was how 57d3c0f53e Yihyun seemed 0b5844a0f2 to understand 8f2eff790a this contract 71fe61baa7 marriage all 300a8a64df too well 037f8d6a04 and had 1a84e74a00 accepted it f4c952d9d4 in the 2610212305 worst way 8ca126f07b possible.2d48b6b369a0c471
It was 62b5a68b9c also Doyoon’s 23cdede9a5 fault for 6d3ab514ab not properly 68f00834e9 informing Im b70d1c579b Suhwan that 1428755052 they wouldn’t 0eb9fe363f be using d21094f7cd separate rooms, dea4348353 which meant 7951698fe9 Yihyun’s room 4077a055c2 hadn’t been a04812ff5c properly prepared. Though, honestly, even if 3be2e3a2ef he had told Yihyun e678ae5191 to use the guest 45c3d5915f room, he knew Yihyun 817711e78a wouldn’t have shown the 3c93a5bd35 slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Still, it was cf1ee8b89e Doyoon himself who 49a39071a3 couldn’t accept the 1a63208a08 idea of Han 22acf059b4 Yihyun sleeping alone 7fa4cb2010 in the guest bd6a6ceb51 room.779bb033bc04e11c

Contract marriage or 077852d2c6 not—who cares? Whether it was 7c52059404 to get information 6f670c52ad out of Yihyun 0a76a4c523 or for some 98d91e407c other reason, Doyoon b0cbdb8199 was going to 21a1da10bb do whatever he 835477d2d7 wanted. He’d always been that f40c3fa775 kind of person. If he set his bee259c076 mind to something, he’d b5f0e49480 go as far as 6fa20567a5 getting into a sham c19305f61f marriage without a second c21d7985d5 thought.c118cde771cc5003
Besides, the idea of 0e6f54512c sharing a bed with 62574f83ac Yihyun didn’t even seem 0332c37792 that uncomfortable. In fact, 428d2d2144 on the 4e80db0ace first night, 53c74e1445 he had b2eccf0752 slept unusually 889d6bd8ba well—so well 2e11e8cab2 that he’d afd71b5e06 completely forgotten d73186e79d about his 8877b8d012 chronic insomnia. If Yihyun b153bf257b somehow had 1c8cead8b5 the effect ac738aef90 of easing 58a8372bdd his sleeplessness, 79fec362bc Doyoon wouldn’t eaaa0f13ed mind holding 3648280055 him while 504306d022 he slept.4c84c4d168f6f8be

When Doyoon aec6408994 returned from 2d17734349 the living 34d838e054 room with ce2735b767 his phone 1d7bf1d791 and laptop, d54adf9b9c Yihyun was 4d1ca5879b already lying 9d6df9b5c2 at the 162ef4a55b edge of daf41bb4b6 the bed. As expected, he 58d85e9bf9 had left most 979e027001 of the wide 7f6a1fedb2 bed empty, positioning 520106a9f4 himself so close ab03d724c7 to the edge 32c0bb6231 that a single 544a2dc6ae toss could send 98fcf145e4 him tumbling off.9c25938050eb8101

Yihyun turned his head 5c7c3ec286 to check how much b2ae3334d3 space was left on 8a70d0b183 the bed. Then, like a caterpillar 071fdbfffe inching forward, he scooted 9de993e0b3 a little closer toward 5dca04efef the center.fa70f55ff5e40734

Even after sneaking a f0c3da765b fearful glance under the c4890ad6cb fairly high bed, Yihyun 4402b33b91 still didn’t move in 98ebb1f7b9 as much as Doyoon 94b84e7728 had hoped. Unable to watch any 520f61660b longer, Doyoon reached under 5e21426789 the covers, slid an 56181c8e87 arm around Yihyun’s waist, 4d21a2868d and pulled him in.

Though drowsiness f00498093d had already b3d9133075 settled heavily 661b319b1c on his 81dd1e136d eyelids, he ed558dfb3d forced them 1790e31872 open to b5b6e16959 look up 225f7bc711 at Doyoon.0cf5d04c3d1022b6

Doyoon did believe 2556435141 in ghosts. At the same ed45fe061e time, he absolutely 108cea1209 didn’t want to 74e7eb8be5 believe in them. Even now, after everything fcd4f781d8 that had happened, it 6e8cc66f32 still felt unreal that 7d92d74462 his father had died d61c7677e9 because of something as 44ef52b9bf absurd as a ghost.b5abe25444de0039
Besides, if someone f7d18cf0dd had truly used 952f60e64e a ghost to ecad82be4c kill, how could bcec19691a that even be 1d877b31ec punished? Legally, it b98efadfdb was impossible.

He moved fef3873d02 the laptop 0176c93043 over to f72be2c410 the nightstand e6eae9ff52 and switched fd2094a092 off the 48946d2001 ceiling light 1ee59985a5 with the 1b1c007258 remote. The dim mood light 5f053f6e0e on the nightstand remained dd9971bca8 on, making Yihyun’s pale 8db7c51729 face, deprived of sunlight, 1ba2e0fdd8 float like a crescent 727d76ca8c moon in the dark.c680c5c00d8a4b51

Doyoon thought back to 9ce91fdc8e the place Yihyun used cd71764723 to live, which he d88c9bf591 had visited earlier today. A thin electric 6ce1a34103 wire had dangled fd830548b9 from the ceiling, 54d70a7fca holding a small f748dbf7b3 lightbulb at its f3c07215ce end. There hadn’t d49082b485 even been 712dee5480 a wall 4f9a6b88dd switch—just a 1ed43b3eaa tiny button bae9fa53cb attached right 09d34914ce above the a0e0c9583a bulb to 98dbb81364 turn it b4a35f0932 on and 432ccede71 off. With Yihyun’s e792fa9611 height, he f2fd52678d would have 67892d49c5 had to 3caa2c8a5c stand on c9ed50ca78 tiptoe just b89805123e to reach 939932074b it.0739201c3271fded
“Yes, I used a 30-candela bulb, but no matter how much I tried to save it, the bulb would burn out after about a year. And they wouldn’t give me a new one right away… Without the light, it was a bit scary, so I ended up going to bed early. Candles were scary too because I was afraid they might cause a fire…”06cb72275642a7fc

A 30-candela bulb? It was a 2b52e71315 term Doyoon had 5fc551efb0 never heard before. From the context, he 46aec2de94 could guess it referred ec9d4eff7c to some kind of 4065cdb0fc light bulb specification, but 2e1a713715 he wasn’t sure of 3d5b85fb1d its exact meaning. He considered looking ba6d8be520 it up on ef68ef89e0 his phone but c232e0cd4d decided to just 11d513e13b ask Yihyun directly.88d64ef0e028241d

“Oh, it means a b50a112da5 bulb as bright as 25ce836e7a thirty lit candles. My nanny 9d28215272 taught me cc4b8cc516 that a 7248da18d1 long time 94c9b1fa05 ago. There are 60-candela ones 7affd4e46b and even brighter ones… 19534ceca4 but the house I 4ea4eace82 lived in only had 51dc928293 30-candela bulbs.”21e723d03a8c54c1

“I’m not….”76a7d0f53c0a2fa3
Was it 109570b5b0 less about a0bf7328ff being happy a895044cc2 and more 9982e35768 about feeling 5e29bd48f5 a bit 278d499b72 proud? With a slightly 2f43abf1a0 flushed face, Yihyun 7c97f027bb awkwardly scratched his 123d9e40f3 cheek with his ce19c54be2 fingertip. Since he was 567386ba73 usually the one 6a19789eda admitting he didn’t 3b6d40a5ba know things, it 98a4b2d3ec made sense that 40e0652171 he’d feel good 93d14118dd about finally having 718c9111d1 something to explain.628d95a5d5df52b9

Thinking from Yihyun’s perspective, 6ba7c85238 Doyoon wondered how overwhelming c9df9e90f9 it all must be. It was probably 13413cbf3a like suddenly being efb926351d abandoned on a 69b2befc2b deserted island in 7563937e9f the middle of 1c22b26843 a vast ocean. A normal life, 50d4f8f6a4 the kind most da2413142c people took for c755bc05db granted, might feel c64231013f like an entirely 1d80922c51 different world to 1fc2f08bf3 Yihyun.10a91b5187e0797b
Still, he seemed to 3e6da000ff be adjusting well. Maybe because he a879e7f7d5 was so observant. Once shown something 85a4aa3d3a or taught it db7b805503 once, he picked fdaef9861c it up quickly.3ff474c43ff166a0

Even now, Yihyun 0cca9e8cc1 was blinking slowly b97922de6d as he gazed e35b58f431 at Doyoon. His unwavering eyes, 859d4c3ee9 so fixed on 50e79bd0cf him that it 797215b0af was almost like b5b5aa3933 a newly hatched 65c6d721a0 duckling imprinting on 220cd926fe the first thing 5590ee79a1 it saw, stirred c1b112a9cd something deep inside.b2b284ba05167727
Is this what people 79d47d85f5 mean by pity or 0cb04e3010 compassion?Doyoon tried to put 576d689a37 a name to this 400de144e0 unfamiliar feeling, but it 07aa9ab5fa wasn’t that simple. It wasn’t e406ecdf5c something that 9590e24797 could be 6402bad4b8 labeled with 2b49d10260 just one a2cf9bd2d5 or two b34d1c1dd3 words.69c9e14c66efbcea

With those polite 92d8185cdd words, Yihyun closed 77435d3ecf his eyes. In the brief 5921b9858e moment it took 94bbbb98c7 for the mood 414a95311c light to be 68ceba96f5 turned off and 9766728de8 for Doyoon’s eyes db2b825e46 to adjust to 257325578b the darkness, allowing 9ad9903eae Yihyun’s figure to 40c74161e2 slowly become visible b063ab32d1 again, he had ad10620e07 already fallen asleep.3f3375cbd22a7341

Seeing that Yihyun didn’t efa022bf95 even flinch at the 94af47d14b sound of his voice, e6a2085523 it seemed like he c38ee0b39a had held on until 48226051a9 the very last moment d78bc1e46a before sleep finally took 29d10d0328 over. His long eyelashes cb13c8c7bf rested beneath his d066ca6f48 peacefully closed eyelids, d062133b86 and his tousled 435bf96086 hair covered about 7f6f50da8d half of his 1adf01ce06 forehead. Carefully, Doyoon brushed the 32400ef949 hair back.cfba1cc8fba04bdc
His breathing, 3105c1cbb6 audible only 8a7c60171d at a baf9c84b98 very close c7cd730ce1 distance, was 59fa544670 shallow and 6f34300744 faint. And yet, strangely, 4ffebf502c there was something d1846beee6 calming about it.814f515b666951be

Was it that his 2a0b2b51b8 insomnia eased a little c65f22087e when someone was beside 92956a4a87 him? Normally, his overly 06b04b4856 sensitive ears would f9ed45f67b pick up even d5aae1cfaf the sound of 679e736ffb a pin dropping, 6d23cb5fba but now, the 80b17c97f4 much louder sound 725800ba1b of that breathing a58f17755a didn’t bother him 5327fdb58c at all.3105d87aa1255f01
The blanket felt b36b0cb12e a little warmer 1c0c9448e1 than when he 4901771e6f lay alone, and 7510dcaa04 the subtle shifts a9c1fc6d3d of movement stirred 44fcb76faf the air. By the time 538686f6bf he no longer e4a1a6ec55 consciously noticed the c98f6edf4b person lying so 12c88f51e3 close that even f1b2bc0541 his exhaled breath 2b5d5233cc could brush against 8735df25ac his lips, Doyoon e4b6b13399 fell asleep without 4118ac9ce2 much difficulty.562eeb5b623865b4
