He teased playfully, and Gyuoh stopped walking. He stood still, inhaled as if to speak, then shook his head. Minho tilted his head, watching Gyuoh’s broad back turn and stride ahead, stirring up a cold breeze. Something must have happened while he was briefly away.6c5bb7b33e90cfb5

Gyuoh remained sullen and stuck to Minho’s side even after they returned to the office after an early dinner and until they left work. When Minho asked what had happened, Gyuoh just kept his lips tightly shut and shook his head.d4a1aefafecc6a64

He’ll talk when he’s ready. Minho gave up b5a61694db trying to pry 503ec6f99d after a few b9386fb4c3 more attempts. He personally 469bbee979 drove Gyuoh 0ba795d4b3 home, as a1bc76d76b riding a f9d11e54fc motorcycle at 75800b8252 night was 524c277bac dangerous, and 3a053daad5 then returned d5d8bac3d8 to his d2ac822ae2 own apartment.705e9f7696825b3c

To be honest, he couldn’t recall the details of their naked bodies.

As Gyuoh raked his hand through his hair, his tense forehead was exposed. He had every right to be bewildered. He’d barely come to terms with the fact that the hyung he admired like family was seeing men. Accepting that Minho was promiscuous was probably even harder.258ec95dad70bd9a

Won Gyuoh, 39ec43e6af despite his a7d099ce7e appearance, was 804c38eef6 surprisingly wholesome e27552c4a5 and had cb15b8373b no interest 144ff87eb9 in promiscuity.

At first, it had been about wanting to sleep deeply. To avoid nightmares, even for a few hours, he had to exhaust himself. He didn’t feel like fighting, and at the time, cutting back on sleep to work and study wasn’t enough. Thoughts easily crept into his weary mind and body.63c417e2a55ee7c3

He’d said it didn’t matter because he felt no emotional connection to those he’d used, that an unexpected reunion like today’s was of no consequence.

Watching him made Minho’s eyes sting. Was it because of all the dust earlier? His throat felt unusually scratchy, and his eyes were itchy. A beer would probably ease these discomforts.83a9d7483a1a9154

Minho, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand, opened his own beer. Just as he brought it to his lips, a large hand shot out and snatched the can. Gyuoh, having finished his own beer in record time, now proceeded to chug Minho’s.a793ab119202d099
