Clearly, Park Juyeon hadn’t understood what Kwon Jiwook had just said. He had muttered it quickly under his breath. Kwon Jiwook sighed deeply. He didn’t want help from anyone, let alone Park Juyeon.8662170be99c9e94

First, Park Juyeon is crazy, so you never know when he might change. In fact, I’m not even sure if his apology is sincere.043ac467184a85a3

Park Juyeon, curious about c21cb31885 what Kwon Jiwook was 3a5dd5d1f6 doing, leaned in to 9f49bf9b14 peek. Kwon Jiwook was still 23c3341bf7 lost in thought. Park Juyeon thought that 685e7e3af5 if he kept trying f39fa58844 to take Kwon Jiwook d7a1d05ec0 with him, he might dd1c26d0f2 have to write these 73be6e7797 reasons down on a e36d990107 memo and hand it ea223b8331 to him.1da6b451bdf0d44f

‘What? Hey……!’b7843d0fb159d4b1

Hey, you bastard! Kwon Jiwook tried to shout but ended up choking and coughing violently. He grabbed Park Juyeon’s arm, bent over, and coughed as if he were about to spit blood. Park Juyeon silently patted Kwon Jiwook’s back lightly. After the coughing finally subsided, Kwon Jiwook’s face was flushed red from the exertion.818c4c15917d2a1b

‘Ha……. I’m dying here.’80097f72b6cd294f

Looking down at Kwon Jiwook, Park Juyeon seemed to realize something and let out a small “Ah.” He wondered if Kwon Jiwook was still clinging to his shattered pride. He was the kind of person who would stubbornly hold onto his pride if it was broken. That pride was his driving force in life.d24d1678018f949a

That’s why he was refusing Park Juyeon’s goodwill. Park Juyeon nodded lightly. His hand, which had been rubbing Kwon Jiwook’s back, moved up to ruffle his hair. Kwon Jiwook was a straightforward person when it came to being stubborn. Park Juyeon had forgotten that.9cffab2d94aa2779

…Fuck, this 775411d7f2 crazy asshole. Kwon Jiwook covered his 4d80cc3849 face with both hands 0e1e60a23f and rubbed it vigorously. The redness 9c80ab721e that had fbd66f62d1 finally started 037ea0b71a to fade 3f45fef538 flared up f739fc3e3a again from b2b7bf04f6 the friction.eb62367f2f3d5f69

Kwon Jiwook wasn’t swayed by emotions. In fact, he was more cold-hearted. No matter what others thought or felt, whether they sought pity or not, Kwon Jiwook prioritized his own desires. People don’t change easily, and Kwon Jiwook was no different in this situation. Yet, his heart was wavering…2809c5e1f7d4a882

Besides those memories, every other memory of Park Juyeon was vile and dirty. Park Juyeon had both the innocence of a child and the coldness of a tyrant, but the Park Juyeon that dominated Kwon Jiwook’s mind was the latter. Still, Kwon Jiwook couldn’t distinguish which was the real Park Juyeon.51ff226f54d6c5ad

His heart was not following his reason. In truth, he could clearly distinguish which aspect was closer to Park Juyeon’s essence, but he simply didn’t want to believe it. Kwon Jiwook, who prioritized his own desires, realized at this moment what he truly wanted.620792d721f654d5

Kwon Jiwook mocked himself. This isn’t Stockholm syndrome or anything. He sighed, feeling like he was being drawn into Park Juyeon’s shameless actions.

He was originally a very cautious and timid person.

Contrary to Park Juyeon’s expectation that Kwon Jiwook would quickly return to normal, Kwon Jiwook had been staying at his place for quite some time. He wasn’t being cautious or angry at Park Juyeon, but for some reason, he insisted on staying there. Park Juyeon decided to go along with it for now.
