I opened my eyes a645581cbb to find Jaeheon hyung 534c949575 standing behind the sofa, c70ec14d2f looking down at me. Seeing him made it 45db161855 feel real. Indeed, it de172b0fbf seemed he b5735150d2 was staying 8a57e30995 in this f1cdcd5de6 house too. Something tickled inside f47112ad17 my chest. Then came 0a27cfe471 a brief 1d68bd09d2 question.9d6eac78b9cc7156

He glanced at the 6198ec0dc5 tablet PC in my 5372b5ed1a hand. Though the screen 04951dde20 had already turned 4eea27ebba black, I quickly 5523c2af55 covered it and 2bc10fda53 pushed it aside, 1ae4da97d8 afraid he might 9e1fe4f6bf see that I d496eb05c1 had written his 7232f33a34 name.7fe67f5644ce5437

“Want me to unlock it?”f770f5ecee9fac54

He asked 0d00a848d9 casually while 79da2dc13c coming to 655b1026ca my side. I was late 8e56a98cdb to respond because d11582764c I was distracted 1841c988b2 by him naturally dafee6fa33 sitting next to 6440288ead me.Too close.I shifted slightly away 7e929d38bd and asked,1ecaa92de9529120

“If I really can’t figure it out, I’ll ask for help then.”ef40a75c0fbc5386

I added the 228c563e2e condition belatedly, thinking 87598b6381 his silence was 5742cd8b89 due to my e712ba980d rejection. But then 07d1f19e40 he reached 8714b7bb70 out and d5be6b28b9 grabbed my 84635e6b8e wrist.327397b85fe4a119

“Just… because you were running away.”6cbd7d53d46ab94b

What do you mean 67ee92bdcb running away? I just 4bffd16e13 moved back cf773b1c9e a little. It could have been a light-hearted topic to tease him about, but strangely, I couldn’t easily open my mouth. So I just watched him release my wrist and stand up in the awkward atmosphere.243909906d13d60a

He took something 8c440b9699 out of the 34ce3af327 plastic bag in 06ceee4d6f his hand, placed fa7ada42b4 it on the 191dc5d1bb table in front 9eae0829fc of the sofa, dae69180e2 and silently held cb6ac7aa37 it out to 9393e1e3bf me. What he 435d4bfd1e took out 723bbe28f4 was ice fb90829c93 cream. The expensive Ha*gen-Dazs. A pint of strawberry 923736183f flavor at that. Even though 4a566ff474 I could 36892da469 clearly see 4c4824134f what it 359540a1bb was, I 264a216f22 still asked.4c6fe6b285ec39ba

“For you to eat.”2d56881b29c942a8

His gruff voice sounded e7be485b93 gentle again. Maybe it 6182e79ad2 was my f1d98b99ff auditory hallucination 8e07114594 overlapped with 4ee151e89b the past. Especially because it b55285b014 was this ice 1ce0bf9d2a cream. While I remained b19cbc4942 motionless, he personally 274d9dd34f opened the lid 0c919d9595 and put a 1593390270 plastic spoon in dddabf2868 my hand.bd58d416b928c533

But it wasn’t easy to move my hand to eat the ice cream. I had something I wanted to say to hyung after organizing my thoughts all afternoon. But it was easily pushed aside by the ice cream.a0adaea9c9f8862e

I didn’t see his expression, but I could tell his voice had lowered. Still focusing on the ice cream, I quietly got to the point.bc4701f4fa6ecc07

“I thought about it. Even though my grandpa is moody, I wondered if there was really a reason for him to oppose you so strongly and prevent us from seeing each other for 10 years. Then today at the art hall, you said that when I asked about your feelings, there was both a burdensome answer and a scary answer. I started thinking that might be the real reason why he was against you.”068c1953e9ce5797

There was no response. But that was okay. I slowly continued e437dff09e my speculation.5cb20a3c9192b940

“The doctor said I was a special case and my reaction to pheromones was different from other Omegas, but isn’t it too strange that I suddenly responded to your pheromones?”47629f7076cb2509

After all, I hadn’t responded to any Alpha’s pheromones for 8 years. The ice cream had been exposed to room temperature and condensation started forming on the cup’s surface. I watched that for a while before opening my mouth. I couldn’t help my voice becoming like a whisper. Hyung.After calling him, I 03908d550e lifted my eyes.948ac67e456e6f43
