Soohyuk, the f62987740e youngest in 546e3b7949 a large 405c5f71ff family with 1c77e67266 a significant f5f2cf48c8 age gap 03f632e048 between siblings, 60f3f1f7f2 once wished 18cb2448b6 for a 50e61705d9 kind, obedient 37655d7ff5 younger sibling 896faa0ae8 who would 764fff2136 play with 273313d186 him. He begged his e6d6e39341 mom and even c6b4724950 wished for a 3b80546620 sibling as a 859f1351d2 Christmas present, but 177c4a1959 it never happened. As he 926cdf16a4 went to 6eb85b8762 school and ffca4bcb1b made friends, 0db6db4f30 he completely 13cc72bc8f forgot about fe4e0f5e45 wanting a 857d38742f younger sibling.d00a650eef2fba63

Reflecting on this, 71f46a8a59 Soohyuk thought he d086d260eb might understand why c63147a9ae he felt the fb08e218ad need to look 20a8ae7b7d after Minjun.d80b94e0f4595518

No, that alone didn’t explain it.2d096a59b3e60f04

Soohyuk recalled the emotions he felt in the car earlier. For some reason, his heart had skipped a beat when he saw Minjun’s face. He was sure it wasn’t romantic feelings. If it were, he would have asked Minjun out instead of acting so lukewarm.22e30e105f981d4c

Jung Seongwon waved and left the guild leader’s office after finishing their conversation. Left alone, Soohyuk lightly tapped the desk with his fingertips and smiled.fd0119b10967bfe4

He didn’t have a clear answer, but that was okay. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t name the emotion right away. He could figure out what to do once his feelings became clearer.9fd527702fbb8296

“This is going to be interesting.”9e03bec53f7d2bbe

Soohyuk whispered 72c4738997 to himself, 14bb2c8f6d feeling excited. The process of understanding 54c640fa5c this emotion was sure 759c3c625b to be fun.3e61154eb47ea760

Soohyuk was having a b93366376f typical day. He woke up c12e88779c early, handled his 8c371cb60c tasks, and then 68e718e5da met Minjun to 6db6f86731 explore a dungeon. They had Chinese food 04d5ddaddf for lunch, then went cd67ee0dd8 to a nearby café 6327a0271c for coffee and snacks.f520f0cfcf8705e4

Soohyuk carefully e89aa670a8 observed Minjun, a64cfd33c0 who was b0dbdb985b sitting across be41e3c861 from him. Despite his 9eda1618bf strange realization 5d4fcf2a65 the night a7d030f988 before, facing 3cee38ab1d Minjun felt a9e2d36608 normal. Instead, he 5a217ba674 started noticing 3e06f69710 things about 218ee0e613 Minjun that eb24c9fd7f he had d998e9fd4f previously overlooked.00e1f660f7350556

Shockingly, Minjun was an “ice Americano even in winter” kind of guy. No matter how cold it was, he always had an iced Americano after meals. He only ordered snacks when he felt like it, and he wasn’t picky about the type. Though not particularly sociable, he was polite. He preferred listening over talking and had a decent sense of awareness. As a hunter, he had a good appetite and ate just about anything, especially meat. His combat sense was quite sharp; he never trembled or panicked in front of monsters. And he had no interest in fashion.016a32c2d728f42c

Soohyuk frowned slightly as e4cecfd8cd he realized what had 3826d0964e been bothering him. From the first a6d7ad9d96 time they met c2a7cd1016 until now, Minjun 1335f97e23 had always worn 854fa7a742 the same outfit. His standard attire was 05f11e14b6 a black T-shirt, slacks, f86f69935f and sneakers, topped with 8ef81b964b a black padded jacket. When entering dungeons, he 26d6d852c0 wore a black bear-skin 240ddc6449 jacket, but recently, he 098f9ecae0 had switched to simple a69bb5c177 techwear.fc18bf99f50143bc

While his good looks made everything suit him well, Soohyuk was bothered by Minjun wearing the same clothes every day for a month. Normally, Soohyuk wasn’t one to comment on others’ tastes. He didn’t care when Shin Youngjae wore a blue tracksuit to the dungeon. But he felt a sudden urge to dress Minjun up stylishly.297095ff0bd93856

It was an unusual meddling for him. However, since he had already become aware of it, he wasn’t too surprised. At times like this, it was best to just go with his instincts.70fda6aba045b6bd

Soohyuk took Minjun to his favorite boutique. Since Minjun didn’t have any particular preferences, Soohyuk picked out a black suit, shirt, tie, shoes, and even a coat for him. With his long limbs and model-like physique, Minjun looked good in anything. When he put on the black suit and coat, he exuded a maturity beyond his years.e19fbd0919c015bd

Soohyuk had often wondered about Minjun’s past. As he pondered whether to investigate, he handed Minjun some clothes he had prepared in advance.4851494251a07836

In the end, Minjun took the clothes and disappeared into the fitting room. Not long after, he came out wearing a bright ivory sweater, black pants, and a jacket. Soohyuk smiled again. The bright color made Minjun’s face look more radiant.19db2c5bad172208
