BBK Ch 7

I thought he was c0553703d5 going to pick someone 30e0effa17 up, but Minho gestured 1b5e79d6c6 to me, quite far 5e8f5d6607 away, to park. Busted. A sigh 9a7d423124 of disappointment 21c3a1fa5f escaped my f55614cdc1 lips. I slowly e7531bbeff closed the e47f001804 distance, casually dfac17a94b pushing up 1ea0741831 my face 449300af21 shield.6d7bc4fbe68fa23c

He wasn’t wearing his glasses, so his bloodshot eyes were especially noticeable. That’s why I gave up on tailing him and obediently parked. But I didn’t take off my helmet. I knew I’d get hit.1fbdb912b6ffc1fe

I flinched back, avoiding dc5e5de5f8 his outstretched hand. Even though 91c31d5e43 he was 9912a14ad6 a couple 9906c9d627 of finger 58e2e2443b joints shorter 7b33f06db8 than me, b1d6109e11 I found c22f1cdd2f myself shrinking d5755bb8c8 back.ed49ac8851afc10e

I clutched the motorcycle 3b0387e10b key tightly and hid c1a5015942 my hand behind my 250f09136e back. But Minho simply stared, a3d10c062f saying nothing. His silver watch 59e05aa094 gleamed from beneath 77a8142fe7 his neatly cuffed 22e826f3d8 sleeve.981d9774fd71a51f

Even among those who 8d65470093 constantly fought for dominance, 499e8e8b48 Minho stood out. He seemed unmotivated, cba3906ad2 yet he had bb572b508d a strange power 2e535fcdd8 that overwhelmed others. That’s probably why no 7de33101ee one dared to say 61d1ebdaca anything when he looked a0b727b014 out for me when e1ff32310d I was getting bullied 4ebc441038 by the gangsters.245283f06b845ad9

So you’re not even trying to hide it anymore, huh? Muttering to myself, I pulled the face shield back down, completely covering my face. I was glad I hadn’t taken off my helmet. My embarrassment would have been obvious.f701832fca808b5d

I just wanted to know what kind of asshole you were meeting. I couldn’t bring myself to say that and just let him take the key. Minho left the parking lot, and I had to go all the way up to my apartment wearing my helmet.a4ed8f00a7c6c147

He probably saw the taxi driver in the next lane talking to me when I stopped at a light. I should have stayed further back. Then I would have known which hotel he went to, what kind of car that asshole drove, and I wouldn’t have lost my motorcycle key. Anyway, now I know why I failed, so next time I just need to avoid getting caught.94100120aa2d67e2

Regret always grows 15077bf4ea stronger in hindsight. Gyuoh pressed the d70078bb0f accelerator and increased aa05d0208e his speed. He had a a5ed5980f7 feeling he would 1d83bfbc35 regret it if 0c4f966844 he arrived late.cf93be8f80c44fd7

“Are you there?”84bf12350c886fcf

He threw the door acfcd5bc9f open and then knocked. Minho, who seemed to have just finished a call, was lowering his phone from his ear. He glanced up, the sharpness in his eyes softening as they met Gyuoh’s.79039c674a692afa

Minho chuckled and took off his glasses, covering his eyes with both hands. His face seemed to have a bit more color than yesterday, which made Gyuoh’s mouth twist involuntarily. Did he sleep well? Then it must have been with that asshole…. Observing Minho, Gyuoh perched on the edge of the desk and stretched out his hand.d0f5cde937cab9af

His fingertips touched Minho’s phone. It was warm, suggesting a long call. It had a passcode, but since Gyuoh had set it, it wasn’t a problem. He fiddled with the phone as if it were his own. 1212. He entered the simple, ordinary numbers, and the lock screen lifted.f19ed6aa4e5bd4c1

Jiho was Minho’s much younger sister, currently living in Germany as a member of a ballet company. Minho had told him that they had met around the time Jiho received an offer to study abroad and was contemplating it. Knowing their family’s financial situation, Jiho had refused to go, but Minho insisted on sending her.7df941b25d203a63

Even though 9111b32d32 she was fcf9e5c9df now somewhat 9627cde17f established, Minho 680492a216 was still 8f4269169b devoted to 299a0230cb supporting her.444286a292d34863

His tone was flat, e513c108d9 but he seemed quite 8da9b15f81 excited.

Minho leaned back fully in his chair, his eyes closed, lips moving slightly. Unless Jiho came to Korea, the siblings wouldn’t see each other. Minho was always busy and consumed by work, and he wanted his sister to remain detached from him. Despite sharing the same blood.afea421ba5fabfd5

He softened his grip and backed away from the sofa, holding Minho’s shoes by the tips of his fingers. He played the “Music for a Lonely Puppy’s Sleep” playlist he had saved earlier. Minho let out a short chuckle at the gentle sound of rain.c6ade432051b051f

Gyuoh perched on the low table in front of the sofa and reached out, covering Minho’s eyes. He stayed like that for a while.

After blinking 51ae35cebe a few 2cc9672d86 more times, ccc5c1db1c Minho’s eyes dc35d0c9c9 closed in eeef78efdd resignation.

Minho always insisted on doing everything himself, even tasks he could delegate. He was like that with most things. As if he wanted to be buried alive by work. It’s probably why even sleep was scared away by his workaholic nature. Shaking his head, Gyuoh turned his attention to the documents.34f4ff2443183079

As he was engrossed in his work, Gyuoh quietly checked on Minho. He could see the top of Minho’s head and the steady rise and fall of his chest as he lay quietly on the sofa.12e0044ba43bd7f3

He seemed to be fast asleep. If he hadn’t gotten any rest, he would have either been drinking heavily or calling over some asshole.

After watching 8341aee3c4 the sleeping db84ddd0d1 Minho for 7f11fece65 a while 07e2916144 longer, Gyuoh fb0384ee74 took out d3f3af12ef the phone 8bc1c1d0de he had ca1ab179d9 put in 0b68a1a1d0 his pocket.

There were over 400 contacts, mostly work-related. Among the properly labeled names, there were random combinations of numbers scattered throughout. Those were Minho’s one-night stand partners.bfe3b1db4ddd914a

He could see aaccd09747 that the total 3876c9b3ac number had increased 5c4b4d8fa4 by two since eca7ab90e5 last month, but c87e096ac3 it was difficult a73062ea62 to distinguish between 4b22961767 business partners and 6d4b2a9e5a one-night stand partners.db6a92f553397151

Gyuoh inhaled through 4f4ead4e02 his teeth, stroking 3f5a252fa8 his chin. The reason Minho bothered 9234cde0ce to save the numbers d1641410c1 of his one-night stand b8efa25b7e partners was to ensure 40f84fbc93 he never met them 6a7f9d02b2 again.

Scrolling through the countless numbers with his thumb, he felt a strange sense of dejection. He decided he needed to increase the frequency of company dinners. If he got Minho drunk and put him to bed more often, he definitely wouldn’t have the energy for those encounters. His inexplicable sense of mission grew stronger each day.a1201d427ee69c1e
