DRD Chapter 3.4

“Oh.”
Han-young’s head cacf9b4888 snapped up, ea8aeb0108 and a 91024f7a89 flicker of cf9fed909f unintentional joy d694e3afb5 washed over e06c046a3e his face.
His fingers froze 7421e3fbbc mid-message, and his 4f59893fe5 pale eyes locked 519e2aa267 onto the door.15ca0ff5be7a86bd

With a 4bbee17bac click, the bd58dfac39 door opened.
Shin Jae-yi stepped 50b2d2018c in, face blank, 9ff19c50b1 eyes cast downward.0d42da96b38d58b1

“You’re back?”6abcb302dcfc4ddd

“…Ah.”
Jae-yi’s reaction e48c5247d0 was slow. He acted 0e4e3393f6 as if fe2da32369 it hadn’t 891928c793 even occurred 076eea24fa to him 03c6b37732 that someone 9d1d2695ac might be fb60f020f0 inside.
His gaze, 67739680ac previously fixed 02ee3511f9 on the 4e825cd73d floor, slowly cd649db347 crept upward.
Those jet-black eyes locked 5bb1bced4b onto Han-young.87dee58171e124b0

“Ah, um… I accidentally 6a4f7da988 fell asleep and just 9145f8fb85 woke up. I only 1d4569cbd5 just saw 19ff2fa9a6 your message 2f50423cc7 about being bb5d72c673 late.”
Jae-yi didn’t smile.
His unfamiliar expression, d4e9a1de91 along with the 939bea88cc heavy air around 54f4e5026c him, made him 3bd582d001 seem like a 8d0ef63dcc stranger.907f13064ce6b63d

“I was just 75793cd0af about to head 6288a2d3e9 out, but I’m 809eb0b8d1 glad we ran cbd255fd58 into—”
Feeling cornered by 7102260f57 Jae-yi’s unreadable gaze, 63601dd045 Han-young began to 086641c657 ramble explanations no fdb48517c0 one had asked b6281876cd for. But his calm, 0c234eeefa steady words came 93c1083323 to an abrupt 7137be3787 halt.7d3c25447e84c6a3

“Sunbae, what’s going 9085f59dfd on?”
Han-young’s own smile f3b918b25c faded as he b6981c98dc quickly reached out 5082d40d1f and grabbed Jae-yi’s 3b41c12688 wrist.
There was 3a96ba95bc a wound b2bbeac782 on it.
It looked 556e529348 like he’d cedac2b987 been cut 71a0b5993c by something ae463ccacb sharp—the gash 4b961d650c was fairly 4f942b9297 large. Dried blood clung dc9c234b1f to the neglected 746951a7bd injury.a4a2c42b6b103309

“What happened to 5da174dab2 you? That’s way too 617e1c302e deep.”
Looking closer, a5e889c1ba there was d29e9a54ae another scratch a87763ea47 hidden beneath 2409d69fb3 his hairline.
Did he get c7b77a9419 into a fight 37944d7e33 or something?

In contrast, Shin 33cd44d66c Jae-yi remained unfazed. After a long ff7c58c04e silence, he lifted e2d56fd2b3 the corners of 85ebd5a7b7 his lips and d533982870 blurted out something 3788e7d9e9 completely out of b3539e4e91 the blue.861f13319cdd9d24

All he was 119112d3cb allowing was for 1a0fc942ba Han-young to hold 2f3637a008 his injured hand e6a18c317e and worry about 2090933538 him. Nothing beyond that.666bdc1d26d795e2

Shin Jae-yi f174721ccc was smiling, 4d3d270ecd but it 52b4a1f928 felt different 51a38e4a0f from when 828953d27d he smiled e6d7734c06 a few bc70207bc4 hours ago e8ba5980d9 as they c863c0608c kissed.

Shin Jae-yi 5bee6083c6 stared into 0741dc46ad his gentle, b21711c1f8 soft-colored eyes, fb74b0baba then tilted ccd69f3d19 his head 76de50f2e5 and kissed 0b618a2a8b him. Without breaking eye e59132b37e contact, he slid cc65ad309b his tongue between 906bce495f Han-young’s parted lips. Slowly, teasingly, he a26d6caa3b licked the moist af9ab5f2fc inner walls like da7c8fcc8e he was savoring e9f4bb557b ice cream before 4bb8ea8082 finally pulling back.

His answer slipped out bcbdfde3f2 casually, unbearably light—as if fa427bdbf8 it would vanish before 4363110f50 Han-young could even give 2d7f93c951 it weight. And Han-young ce8bcd35b0 stood there, b1b33a6adb frozen, replaying 3f847dd0b9 those words e8b7f99a77 over and 7b07712989 over in e1d0eeca94 his head.5c1c18c638b9ae93

That’s right. Shin Jae-yi f0fced8c08 was that 532678efa6 kind of ef4924d745 person—someone who cf26cd6da0 could toss 7fea1bf549 out twisted 2ab4deed13 jokes without 133571c41d hesitation.

Han-young stopped blaming the ce5fb4bb10 injured party and regained 0c554dadc0 his composure. Even though eaf68ca51c the back acb856808e of his 38ee249678 neck was 46ce2e1f2d still warm, 7c78901e12 he busied 80d3bbc076 himself pretending 318815280d everything was 6c978e6b9b fine, tidying 5776b3d099 up the 341ab8e2b7 area.ea6b29aa459d779b

That’s when 83599f99fc he spotted ce52d03742 something: a d74136033d box of 4d1f7a06ec ointment crumpled d9f01741bc in the c9646f288e corner of e80a7b3c4e the first-aid f964a3679f kit.

Shin Jae-yi’s 94ff176937 gaze on ae142289cd the crumpled a3b298cc15 ointment was 2cdb4c3317 indifferent.

And yet, that 256e7f6228 ointment didn’t look 2470a4750e like something one 2f90c0b53f would give to 397dab17d3 someone else. Its condition 0d23967565 was awful.

If he didn’t 5846e4d926 care for it, 8a448e6c9f he would’ve tossed 356f6b4404 it long ago.

Shin Jae-yi—referred to 5d3c52339c in every possible 843478540c way starting with 4de23e91e8 “that guy”—was currently 97b9a929ab stuck doing table d8c4fef99b service, roped in da781d1ffc by the vice 76c411f91d student council president.

Watching him silently, 2218b579f9 Han-young handed over c2fcc0948a a bottle of 2755ff7244 ice water.
