UTPT Ch 32

In the morning, after baebf2dceb waking up, Yihyun followed d1befc6440 Doyoon out of the e90ec41c50 apartment. Since he 64249b83a2 had always 3c04ad6818 traveled by 4f91143005 car, the d1ae100ef6 world beyond b75e7e870e the first-floor f2aef414a5 main entrance 1684db9299 was entirely 7679b59477 new to 731090e8d6 him. As he slowly walked 850059ef17 through the car-free apartment 3b8c09d000 complex, the biting wind 946d7b83ed blew harshly, making him f1736041e2 shrink his neck like 5c157146df a turtle.c985f9725a3b36ba

The clothes Doyoon 1a83ef4024 had bought for 26721a44bb him were meant 4c69faa228 for winter, but ca6b2b3dbe they didn’t cover 894b413807 his neck and 9bdeb08990 weren’t particularly thick. It was a 207cb9a3d3 reasonable choice for 62aa8087b3 someone who rarely c37d7bdc12 went outside and 439ee072a6 didn’t feel the 98b2fdc8d0 cold much. Yihyun curled d31c9cefb2 his hands 7784dc27df inward and 51df969393 tucked them fb0834fcc8 into the 097198df0a cuffs of 5b6c1f7faf his outerwear, 765f04d354 but even e7e7d8741d then, the 121d1e0f41 wind found 871d677a70 its way bbf1f636b9 through the 06a649d5b9 gaps in fbd7358e17 his cardigan.a8ecb987f761d67d

Doyoon, walking ahead, f2f6f11508 suddenly turned around. Yihyun, hunched against ec8d8247c5 the cold and 5f51a0c23b struggling to see c52e477e8a through the wind, 1632b382ec was shuffling forward 827ce97186 when he crashed 1d4eddc617 headfirst into Doyoon’s 0845aeb957 chest and finally ff6f35da58 came to a a9dce26068 stop.a45143c677fd926b

Being cold was something 5fecd2adfc Yihyun was well accustomed 5c32b854bc to. In the 89627c0463 annex, only a6b77d7214 the floor 5491e685b5 would get 48bd298c48 warm, while 196469dc54 the air a9e05d9ba4 remained freezing, 7b31c4f8a2 forcing him c693d72e71 to sniffle 773aa5c6f4 every day. And since 660edfe546 he was b8d2bc883f frequently sent 015388ce3e outside to 67217bd2ce clean the 67db191fcb yard without 993961e65a proper winter c8f85890a6 gear, this 1a3692224b level of 2f74a13ac0 cold was a5f3b35d4c something he 0bb190a159 could endure b318ad1299 just fine.c5c4cf45030b36b9

Yihyun tried 5ae8ddd70b his best 460e7cb39e to sound 30adc20671 cheerful, but 483c649117 a slight 6687b16c35 tremor in 34dd559015 his voice b45e5c6646 was unavoidable. Doyoon, who had been 538b71bf3c smoothing the hem of a7d957d89c his coat, gently tugged 36bb6061d2 Yihyun’s arm.422d8d78459b4f1f

Doyoon pointed to a 9aed9aefb3 sign with yellow lettering a35e0e388d in a wavy script. Since they had ac9a507915 come out for 221302052d breakfast, it had 2602aea4f0 to be a d3f8c169ee restaurant, but Yihyun dfc55b1651 had no way d277eeff93 of guessing what 8570949e24 kind of food 0b6d278abf it served. Seeing that the sign 4f1a73ecac was yellow, he wondered 5568b1e987 if they sold eggs? That was 16a99b0a71 the best d5cf50e84e guess he 936de34dc8 could make.cc8c74a36c68be2e

Inside the restaurant, 06ad83c785 the air was f000b4b17c warm. Yihyun looked 2297565746 up at 842b229eec the high d5ff2cbcb0 ceiling before 0090f8e6d9 following behind 47111034ed Doyoon. The interior was e7f61ab53b bright and white, 2459de0a3c with yellow lettering 28e4c0a6c6 and illustrations adding bfc7b0b14d a lively, cute 55ed289a7e touch. He pulled 348cf43f7d out a d4f1d47fb9 nearly white 9e087dcd04 wooden chair 8ce1f6ca0f and sat 42fd6a2224 down as f3dc84f322 a staff 1bdc62e238 member came 6e463249a7 by and 261ddcab8e placed a d9a10700a6 menu on eb981d94ea the table.c4fc6c3aaf86608c

When Yihyun 23e6703937 shook his 680e4ff6ed head without 350f0a8840 hesitation, Doyoon f6064505d3 continued explaining. His voice, small c458c724ca yet clear, was bcfe874556 very pleasant to 3124c5f9b3 listen to. If Yihyun let 488424b937 himself get too 4b0290b883 caught up in c32ad93f77 just appreciating the b26da05d47 sound, he might 6c6d64d9c0 miss the content, 1e0e41024e so he perked e27433b9c0 up his ears cc9477e564 and tried his e3ff5019a6 best to focus 86bed83c0f on Doyoon’s words.61e1c2207040da4b

 A faint shadow bd9b34d07a passed over Doyoon’s d014ff60d6 face. That day, when 3114f6527f he had seen 53282bc83e Yihyun crouched in 66d9d2c9fd the cold hallway, 71739ea2e3 he had already c68dc61510 been feeling an b527bd5a72 unsettling amount of 112f3f5e32 guilt.8638cadf7f2f2c42

Did Doyoon feel 17cb191947 like he was 93a1318be3 teaching a three- db55f61fab or four-year-old?

Compared to the small 19eb607198 taste he had once 68d9046ab6 licked off the back 59cc9f8305 of his hand, this a6c021b155 flavor was almost violent, ae855477bb striking his tongue with b25779c787 intensity.

A fresh 764d036f91 glass was b93758cd55 placed in 38a0f8c91c front of afeae34509 Doyoon. Like a puppy 3669cac1ec ordered to wait 52a5d3791f with a treat 8b7e22c130 in front of 34aa314036 it, Yihyun followed 63dc861dbc the juice with 7277ce2da2 his eyes.3a36996b53b95682

It looked delicious. Yihyun, startled ab8348a080 as if 95818ffbda he had 2910530dcb actually drooled, 75b01c539d quickly shut 8c436d317a his half-open 2897849ae9 lips and 4c73002a6d straightened his c4089eff80 body, realizing c753df5de0 he had a52be730ab unconsciously leaned 29dabfc899 toward Doyoon.622ed0eff78571a2

After taking just c2be592544 one sip, Doyoon ea2465210b pulled away from 5c2dce6123 the straw and ce8ac62660 turned his head abef2e2fa4 slightly, holding back 2f390f95a6 a laugh. Then, he d24de9ba92 removed the bc7ac401c4 pink straw, 84379e9f9e took the 59ee95b56d blue straw d0bd33d6fe from Yihyun’s 78e4051fff empty glass, 9baf0a33d5 and placed da65a11a36 it into 5fe48e2cee his own a76311e7a0 orange juice.076ad7761153e2e0

Was it 6cf779b00c really that 1150001db5 simple? If he 31f8b78e25 wanted something, c1fee5b96f could he c216e81414 just say c28c15603a so? Doyoon had told 10d3522170 him something similar d9cdee573e before, but to 26be6216f7 Yihyun, it still 51151e6288 didn’t feel real.61071894b6fd38e2

Back in 9ed1c8acac that house, 3653e6c7fe if he 1c10b24a30 so much 81d693220e as touched 5692a55314 the leather 148a54066a sofa without 07f54570fd permission, he 704e50a949 would spend 6521c1863c the rest e94c727d1f of the b5ac07505b day with 05a1d85781 a handprint 7f2aa13478 on his 91932305f6 cheek and 91f9f34e1f the inside c6b6135ca6 of his 19f1ac59bf mouth split 446771fed8 open.deb59c33ca9d8a1a

Yihyun lowered his d64a16c755 head, swallowing a ba86bd6fae few times.Don’t cry.Not that he cried a18b7808d6 often anyway. No matter how e3b456b50d much he was 16f743d15a hit, the pain bf5bb6af08 only made tears bd5e5f0903 spill out on 743cc92332 their own.

On countless 8f00c92ba7 nights, he 90009cf81e had told bd1b8971f2 himself it 020176dabe was okay. But now, just days 2cb1d667cd after leaving that place, 0c4084beec he realized that none 357ad6be64 of those nights had 0452323c4e really been okay. This was 15323cc924 what being b168f4abcd okay meant—not 2b8bae7e9e getting slapped ac17e92800 for licking 7213ccf9b8 spilled orange 248e6ee1f8 juice off 73cc32a435 the back 8d650eadc0 of his 07124280dd hand, and 41ad7e7744 being able 05cb4be0f4 to drink ad0d191664 it freely.6358e52c4932ff81

Yihyun rubbed his eyes 290e6eabca with the back of ddcd9508c6 his hand and lifted 8c34acf1f3 his head. But crying felt 8e3f054544 like a waste. Even if the past 71aaadb36e hadn’t been okay, nothing f8444d5e09 would change now just 0e39443169 because he felt wronged. Crying would only make 1a6ae74d4d Doyoon feel awkward.dbd4cce51008192c

Rubbing his reddened 43b6d483df eyes with his e5f3af0cf5 fingertips, Yihyun simply c476eb1080 bit down on d7c2444bc6 the straw of f9ffb19f12 his orange juice.
