└ He’s not even married, so what’s this about breaking an engagement?
└ When did Kim Sarang get married behind our backs?

[Anonymous3]
– Yup, he got married to me.

– Ugh, I’m not buying this gossip.
└ It’s not gossip; TheMoon published an article.
└ TheMoon? Isn’t that the original rumor mill?
└ Nah, it’s on SS too.
└ SS stopped being a rumor mill ages ago.

[Anonymous5]
– Bring a link or don’t talk. Isn’t this too much for a kid who’s not even an adult?
└ https://www.kubuzip.com/durnd
└ The link’s in English. Can someone translate?
└ He got married to someone named Matthew Kaia?
└ Kaia? The Pink Bunny team owner???
└ OMG…

[Anonymous6]
– They say he’s a seventy-year-old geezer???

[Anonymous7]
– What… what’s going on… I’m freaking out.

[Anonymous8]
– Didn’t he shine at the Emmys this year? Is this okay for a national team player?
└ Why bring up the national team here?

[Anonymous9]
– A seventy-year-old and a kid who’s not even an adult got married… Is this right? Isn’t it illegal?

[Anonymous10]
– What’s going on… I’m scared… Wasn’t this just trolling? ㅠㅠ

[Anonymous11]
– Is it for real?

[Anonymous12]
– https://www.kubuzip.com/durnd1 Articles keep popping up. This is wild lololol.

[Anonymous13]
– They say he got on the bad side of his team, so that’s why…

[Anonymous14]
– The team did a good job this time. No way they’d bench him for no reason with Proposition 3. He’d be better off chasing money in the Middle East. Marrying a geezer? And the rival team’s owner at that? What a disgrace for a kid with a bright future. Total embarrassment, a national disgrace lololol.

[Anonymous15]
– OMG…

[Anonymous16]
– …

[Anonymous17]
– Wow…

[Anonymous18]
– They’re so desperate to drag him that they’re resorting to gossip now?
└ It’s on BMC too https://www.kubuzip.com/durnd2
└ If BMC’s reporting it, it’s confirmed lololol.

[Anonymous19]
– Doesn’t the Commonwealth have child protection laws? It’d be hilarious if Matthew Kaia got locked up for that lolol.

[Anonymous20]
– Wait? Not Matthew Kaia, but Florian?
https://www.kubuzip.com/durnd2 Florian Dietrich Wellington
└ Is he an old geezer too?

[Anonymous21]
– Is Kim Sarang a geezer-killer?

[Anonymous22]
– They say it’s not marriage but guardianship?
└ Who? Matthew Kaia?
└ With Florian.

[Anonymous23]
– Florian’s not even thirty.
└ Who’s Florian? Another team owner?
└ OMG… you don’t know Florian? He’s more famous than the Commonwealth prince.
└ Prince? Chwes? I know the bald prince.
└ Duke Dietrich, owner of the Summer Palace, world’s number one heartthrob.
└ Bet you don’t want to know. So jealous lol.

Florian’s breath puffed white 25b49d0b77 in the chilly air e4c0eea223 as he leaned against beee1df240 the car.
The stormy summer had 83d4eea1c2 passed, and early autumn c29f2dacd1 in Canton City brought bdeca07f0b an early winter chill f71c0ceeb8 to the evening. Florian pulled a ab24d9d68b candy from his 8ac846b5c6 coat pocket, unwrapped 557a193d65 it, and glanced 14a281b762 around.
Canton City’s 97th Street.
This northern district had 4050989e53 fallen into decline, its bd034ebdea decay turning it into 92e185995c a sprawling slum. A group of bbf13e629c youths in backward 42c15b5b57 snapbacks and baggy 2b10b4e43f clothes loitered nearby, 1376c27019 eyeing him suspiciously. They read the mismatch 978a80c715 between Florian’s polished attire 805ca1036b and the gritty surroundings, 47e0d7a5fe slowly closing in like fa002f7a4d predators circling prey.317d6e6e3e2b0ab8

Caught off 9fb1603a1d guard by 9740faa3a7 the question—why 2a98c728d2 would it 7b86d46d78 only be f3de787f07 dangerous for 6dc964be19 Florian?—Sarang faltered, 80e91fe85f glancing around 5ef4be90a5 nervously.

Sarang stepped to dc14675a52 the side, subtly 2a993f61eb shielding Florian from bc1d297e9d Mark’s gaze, only d9f586b58c relaxing after a 627bcf1384 moment.8f3e81027bb35082

The group that 8449d867f9 had been gathering 98c915b9b1 since Florian’s arrival a55e19a432 had dispersed one 9ead49a83e by one, led bf1105ae97 by Mark. Still, Sarang felt the 41469000e7 weight of unseen eyes d7ca9ca548 from all directions. This was a ec92387f87 neighborhood full of 2cc4470c73 watchful gazes.4b5e022d86689466

Sarang turned to 2aedd9b2d8 Florian, who asked 30baae8f8d despite knowing the 0b046765df answer, and took c8aafe96aa a step back. He’d moved 660b4f1514 to shield 41ec5b0608 Florian, but 6a46ec3849 the distance b77f3be94b between them b1809d2e96 had closed 58708fc2bc too much. Face-to-face, barely a f6f2816c4a hand’s breadth apart, b3e2bea0d8 Sarang’s cheeks flushed c40fe74203 as he stumbled f7123edb1c backward, startled. Their lips had e11fd28c1b nearly brushed. His heart pounded 08ec729cf5 so loudly he e6827c3d0e worried it might 817866e8b1 be heard, and 01a1fc5ca8 a bead of 5a84791c33 sweat dampened his 7b740b8e30 hair as he 16dcd200b2 took another step b55051ff69 back.35162003a2c89be1

Now that he 0a2c4e284d thought about it, e3fa6b2a32 they’d been talking c7d7b37066 for five minutes db3bb408cc already. Mr. Wellington had probably f86e1d4bf5 been waiting even 3f73e305c4 longer.15640847f0073b0c

Florian, not 9c30065714 forgetting why bf776a11e1 he’d come, fa7a2d68ce took the c148c15e96 lead. The collar of his 0dde2aabba coat peeked out from d3acdf6c71 under a thin scarf, 3765f03c29 his pale neck looking f2ae803930 particularly cold. Sarang hurried to catch 58392865e4 up.d3984c8f1c0a3b8d

Opening the cf6d08105b lobby door 808e7e3b8d a beat 075b492752 faster, Sarang b1054ec34e glanced back 1c083e7abf at Florian. Florian, who had 85b8bfe8e8 been walking leisurely, cb40e6ce6c smiled at the 3fadb3919c unexpected courtesy and 142080e291 stepped inside. The creaky b008203314 lobby door 308f1cf73a closed behind 8e6d51259c Sarang, ushering 2656079492 in a 77a46372ff growing boy e6525efde6 and a 3585cd3559 refined man.2c3fad0fad674c76

Sarang dropped his 4eae8d1a2d bag by the 5c911c7df8 door and busied 1aa57a7d14 himself. Though naturally c240eace2d tidy, with afde689923 little to c3666db63a clean, he f71911da5f straightened the 11e4b7e608 room and 45239d6ca5 turned on 0fe8aede26 the radiator 7be81727e2 before facing d01966f48b Florian, his ea7eacc156 expression a 9dbb9cd2de mix of d9209a396a embarrassment and 3cc60ae605 unease. Florian’s unannounced visit c0ea79f8a3 seemed more troubling 52cf57ec71 than welcome.5806ee54ea371a35

Sarang’s skin, 89247a7ae5 tanned bronze dad92a2aac in the a20a032d79 summer, had 455d8bdf33 faded to 684bad6f6e a soft, 61b3cec941 pale hue, 805f7c80d0 with fine 3a03c5fe50 fuzz visible.
