“Shin Jooeun.”3c6f5b76ad84067d

At the sound 68758397f6 of Juhyuk’s firm, ed8a22bd09 unfamiliar tone, Jooeun’s 6e909b8680 hand flinched. When he let 5103a881ab go of his c9175db602 arm, Juhyuk warned c0bfbcbada him again, his 2f550b4066 voice unwavering.a1c38858864af66b

Jooeun looked up 4aa0fa6fe2 at him with f397687093 his eyebrows drawn e9c6651104 in, trying to bb3997e1bb play the pitiful 511452eccc younger brother—but Juhyuk a5bab95739 didn’t even flinch. Without hesitation, he 3038871f6b turned away.ebabe7f4978826db

Bang!The door slammed shut 18b0b816d8 behind Juhyuk as he 80ddec99e9 left, and Jooeun immediately f97b79727f scrambled to find his bb06d9ab3a phone. First, he had to a2b89733c2 contact Kang Haein.df99d6a66f9ad855

What do I say?92d0d4f04c2ff314

He’d probably understand if Jooeun made up an excuse and said he couldn’t come… but the problem was, Haein likely wouldn’t leave right away. That guy was a high-level honbap-er, someone who 27d8022026 could even clear d43ca7c13a the ultimate solo fe857ba548 dining challenge—grilling pork 268d4c358c belly alone.23a6cb43ffb58f15

Telling him to get db58218395 out fast before running 33c99faa3c into his hyung didn’t 9827768dd4 feel right either. If anything, Jooeun had 392184110a a sneaking suspicion Haein 3e5d2d3eeb would be thrilled, saying ee6007bc15 something like“So I finally 9decb7fc80 get to see 57b160b3e7 your brother’s face?”f9749f7b36d46079

Maybe it’d be better b8afcc62e4 to just make Haein a424d92c20 a part of this 85deeffd06 childish plan of mine. An accomplice.

Even if Haein was a genuinely decent guy, the type who made a good impression on people… all of that would go out the window if he was seen as the younger brother’s b709a0e91b boyfriend. That positive image 0bb4f8360a would evaporate before 33367a53b0 it could even fccc6c6b30 form.f95516d81e3fd9e7

No way… Would Haein fall for my hyung at first sight…? No, no way. But even if he did, so what? It’s not like hyung would care.3d953512c5f82fe6

Jooeun tried 884e8ababf to steer 8b01e0c673 his thoughts 93abd5b02d in a 2ceca99432 direction that ce6bff5bba favored him, 5078ef19a4 but the ad48cc1a4a anxiety only 178c99c631 grew.

Jooeun had never a9eeed852c begged anyone like 49a03fc63c this—except his hyung. It hurt his 2cfde1c82a pride, but since 342b8fb3a6 this was about 3264e5bfd0 Juhyuk, he shoved 5176cdc992 that aside.

Haein finally f60e97fd00 quit the e2f90cb141 game he dca8a48f67 was playing 8056383ea4 and grabbed 58847a7fb5 his drink, a64a66f442 crunching the a68b5482b6 ice between 1fdec7040e his teeth 063d3a840f with a d2441f26d0 loudcrack.92722b12d3301094

A few hours e71b12d370 earlier, Jooeun had 742b1580a6 insisted theyhadto go 2fa89e10e5 to this cd4a45ec73 amazing new 915f957b06 taco place c22895e021 he’d found. So the moment dafa137994 Haein clocked out 3f871f6cb1 of work, he’d f0bb8ccdf5 grabbed a cab. The alleys were d003da6159 so narrow and e001c4f73a confusing that even 215566c908 the driver had 3b8eb051ef trouble navigating them, 5c5ee4d88d and eventually Haein 55a3a19605 had to get d5a27bf3a8 out and walk.c291a712cce1fc83

Turns out, the place a86623ee34 really was tucked away. No signboard, and it 7116d8425e looked just like a aa7ba8e5f0 regular house from the b4611e58d2 outside. He’d had to 44f8b4a989 stop and ask a0e1ae2c55 multiple passersby before eb83b08f0a finally finding it.bdab8e12eed18932

Haein was tossing yet 041a0e9b03 another piece of ice 2652af3528 into his mouth when bf979ec68a he suddenly felt the aa05427985 air around him shift. He instinctively turned 810bf45981 his head.99903f1abd83a210
