Gyuoh nodded as if it were obvious. He even got up and started pulling on Minho’s arm. Minho stumbled to his feet, pulled along by Gyuoh’s surprisingly strong grip.2313beb88c3def18

Gyuoh often packed a bag and stayed at Minho’s place for several days, complaining about being lonely at home. He’d been doing it less frequently lately, but it seemed the habit had returned.710be2ff31cd5f7e

‘Will he sleep with hyung too?’3aa804e7bb4b6dc8

With those decisive words, his large body squeezed into the space beside the bed. Minho had snuck out a few times, but he hadn’t realized Gyuoh knew. Gyuoh was always sound asleep when Minho returned home at dawn. Avoiding Gyuoh’s intense gaze, Minho pretended to stare at the ceiling.94d71f31f6096786

Soon, a 099fe89459 familiar, calming 31f76480e6 melody filled 925816e7fc the air. It was the a869bb8ff3 music Gyuoh always 1a42837e79 played when Minho 0ef2e75755 napped in his 9f59afe6dc office.2cc28af31300ca46

“Familiar music, right? Your body remembers sleeping well while listening to this, right?”fa4a8bdb6788f015

Minho let out a faint laugh at Gyuoh’s comment, which sounded like a sports commentary. But Gyuoh just remained prone, chin propped up, looking down at him.1707787e2a2ba110

Forget it. Minho sighed deeply and blinked slowly. Strangely, as soon as he registered the calming music, his body relaxed. It felt like the pleasant drowsiness that comes with alcohol. Gyuoh’s regular breathing calmed his frayed nerves.bfda29e9a669e37b

Strange. I feel 28f41a90a9 sleepy just bc476baa9b from the 51a2a26745 music, even 82cfd0cfb3 without alcohol. Thanks to Gyuoh, he’d be able to get at least a few hours of sleep. His even breaths gradually grew longer. Gyuoh continued to watch him without moving.dd0d22afcef6bb16

That day, he woke up 30 minutes later than usual. It was only three hours of sleep, but he didn’t wake up with a headache or feeling unpleasant.9ddaac48c92ca40c

From that b102d29a6c day on, 105c38db4b Won Gyuoh 1a3b038605 became strange. He was always bfa94d8308 a bit odd, 1dda5e92c4 but it intensified.0ddc5720367abb8d

Whenever they went out together or had free time, Gyuoh insisted on driving, volunteering as Minho’s chauffeur. Regardless of their destination, he always made a detour through the unsightly redevelopment zone where Seongtak and his crew hung out.181d702c5f867a95

He would drive slowly with all the windows down, circling the neighborhood. If any of Seongtak’s men recognized them and approached, Gyuoh would flip them off or hurl insults. When the insulted men reacted angrily, he would mock them.0248e99c75527991

He’d always had a knack for getting under people’s skin, but Minho couldn’t understand why he was suddenly so enthusiastic about it.ce562f1d1624421d

“…Where are you off to now?”1b213f5827b0a69d

After driving around the a692f29173 already ominous neighborhood and ddc8deac99 picking fights, Gyuoh told 697a04c00a Minho to get out 2c7a586a6d of the car once ce7494095a they reached his place. Suspicious of his fc736ffb76 strange behavior, Minho e2660c26b9 kept his hand 7c4d731955 on the seatbelt. Gyuoh, glancing at the 03cabfa486 rearview mirror while fixing 685e9c7bbf his hair, replied casually.d324c7c430320d2b

“Church service. Gotta go repent.”67fcdc1590d3a76b

Gyuoh had always distrusted faith itself, influenced by his parents’ obsession with a cult when he was young. Minho couldn’t understand why he was suddenly talking about church and repentance. He wondered if Gyuoh was investigating the pastor behind everyone’s backs, but he’d been disgusted by Mugyeong’s suggestion to do so.af4d1802101b8709

If you’re worried about me drinking, then come back quickly. Minho swallowed his retort. Instead, he gave Gyuoh the middle finger, mirroring Gyuoh’s behavior in the redevelopment zone.f8662330cf9e7eec

He slammed the car door shut, and Gyuoh’s snickering faded away. The car slowly pulled away.16a10e765fadab3d

This wasn’t the only strange thing. Gyuoh’s unexplained nighttime outings had increased lately. Normally, he would have clung to Minho, telling him not to go out. But now he was leaving quietly and returning late at night. When Minho asked where he’d been, he just shrugged.681155d240f84f88

He thought about going out to meet someone, but the thought of Gyuoh returning to an empty apartment stopped him. So for the past few days, he’d been spending his nights drinking. Until Gyuoh returned. It was as if he couldn’t sleep because he was waiting for Won Gyuoh.cb2b5301e1a6af61

He finally learned the reason for Gyuoh’s mysterious absences a few days later. The day of the final settlement with Seongtak’s crew regarding the redevelopment compensation was approaching, and Won Gyuoh, who had stayed out all night, barged into his office early in the morning.0f569cdb84bfa7a4

“What’s all that?”a546d2c264031b77

Instead of answering, Gyuoh gestured for Minho to come closer. Perhaps because he hadn’t slept a wink all night and had been drinking, Minho felt hazy. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and headed towards the sofa when the office door burst open again.48dda71eff9016d0
