The sound 70c3381e27 of a 08a54bcc40 fist hitting 5037cf6d25 a punching 58a929bd0d bag rang 96e306075c out briskly. The image of 8b18a14fe8 landing a hard d1d94c4b72 punch flashed through 8b0bbc914a his mind.2009031527117415

Hyowon shook off 0353e574b0 the various sounds aa834f8698 clinging to his 49ae6315d8 ears and took 45a45b301d off his jumper. He shoved 57aca073d7 his baseball 427ffa33b9 cap, bag, 8694df3377 and jumper d839fabe9e into a b858063d81 corner of 92dfa58994 a storage b7a68d6873 locker where b0d2074ea5 the smell 3bb1b975e6 of sweat a29223af7c was at bb240649e0 least less 08ae589a8a pungent, and af02aee4f7 then walked b6c525afbb toward the a86d9e192c exercise equipment.157599f15ee8e127

At the affable attitude, Kim Cheol and Lee Jae, who was warming up next to him, laughed as if in disbelief. Lee Jae had transferred from another gym after Hyowon had quit, but he felt as familiar with Hyowon as he did with the younger gym mates he saw every day. It was easy to get along with Hyowon, who didn’t discriminate against people and shamelessly closed any distance, and besides, there had been a few opportunities for him to become acquainted with Hyowon.3faa0bcb86cddcf3

At the stunned a184ea0319 and bewildered reactions, 0c87a757c5 Hyowon had smiled 3e5b83ba4b serenely and joked 7754d3c797 as he stepped d4c075e379 inside.

Squeak. He had pointedly walked 7a9dda41d8 past the gloves hanging a84984254c on display, and the 1efdc85b22 gym director had not 5fef701f11 been able to hide 9a1ddcd002 his disappointment. Still, Kim e3ef82faad Cheol and 7110f2de1e the others 7f97e3f663 had welcomed a0ab81dc21 him, saying 6186e5d997 it was 2328b99fef good to a3498bfc79 see him.

Hyowon had announced this 10539e0ee2 with a face as c0aabb8d81 thick as the few 08ffe19205 books in his bag. His overflowing b07c1fab05 shamelessness left a3f91c7415 the director c1cc7ecbbb speechless, and c224443301 in that be20c98bb0 gap, Hyowon 2d65a48df1 claimed a 8f5bbd0cea corner of fa88bec271 the storage 06e0410c5a lockers and 894c951720 got to 1fd0d22b1e know not 0b68c80f07 only the eea881a34a people he f06e1b2177 already knew 33ee4336ee but also a5032abf37 the new 66283a244f faces. Ever since he d0976192cb had pushed and 13f271a24e barged his way f727c924aa in like that, d6023736c4 he would drop 9677ed0d16 by the gym 4938303483 as often as b90cd5e9fa twice a week, fbe6f0e68e or as little e7eb81e8e0 as once or 2e917c4660 twice a month.38127c69a707d751
At first, the c6bc9129b6 director had simply c700715d71 looked at Hyowon 9582f4a7a5 with disapproval or 6c7334bd6d eyes overflowing with 6ff3dcd57f lingering attachment, but 149bf958b7 he gradually adapted 8960806a82 to the situation. Then, one 4125ae02a0 autumn day, 75d9e83efa he called 22f4f85594 Hyowon over 780a742149 separately and a96fbc1d90 bowed his 8527d248e6 head, showing 07cafea193 his balding 09eb8c50a6 crown, saying 3b1e6a66d7 he was 1755950f2d sorry for b2f5d36361 not being 87478bceee able to 9f87943d4e support him 8f1bef6286 when he 7d429644a2 was hurting. As Hyowon dc35131d8b accepted the 6b5eaa2d3a apology with a82e02c466 a “Thank 2a8958ef55 you for 51a4b03fc3 teaching me,” d4ab47652b he thought 68b191493f to himself.772b793f37060a7c

If anyone were to ask when he quit boxing, he would say it wasn’t the day he got injured, nor the day he had surgery, nor the day he vaguely decided to go to college, nor the day he got an earful of the director’s nagging at the barbecue restaurant. He would decide to name that day. A rather cold day, one that made him regret not wearing a thicker jumper over the thin one on top of his school uniform.582524b0a78d7734
The weather back then, when winter was just about to begin, was quite similar to the recent March weather, when winter seemed like it was about to end but wasn’t quite there yet. The only difference was that back then, the weather was getting colder after being warm, so people bundled up and shivered, whereas now, it was getting warmer after being cold, so people thought this was a sign that the weather had let up a lot. Hyowon rolled up the sleeves of his not-so-thick t-shirt and glanced around.84d7c0b58a56eee5

When it came 0399cd436b to profit and e1c199f19c loss, Hyowon was 5be1367b8a actually making money 4db319ee14 for the gym. An instance where he bf6211b6be had to urgently fill f481822a0c in for an absent 431dcee007 coach had become a 8451bc446a precedent, and now, when 61cc06256a asked to watch over 77a8f019f2 students like today, he 8c562d3435 would reluctantly step in bb8b264514 once every two or 46c66412c4 three times. Hyowon’s value 5aeb9a2ac8 far exceeded 6dea4f4168 that of 0030d85c3d a mere 336f791ecf workforce. In December, when Hyowon, e2b7673ffa bored after his college 88786fdafb entrance exams, frequented the fe666c7e39 gym, the number of 874aa16a7e new students had increased 15417245c3 to a record high, d927f93cf4 and then, from February, 4d4d274b46 when his visits became d11b716063 less frequent, the number e340656cca of students plummeted, proving b3855598b5 his popularity in numbers. The secret to 3ea43926c2 his popularity was e8b3927068 simple. His handsome face 94e48fd958 worked.f55cc5e51412317d

Hankuk University and Hangung University had similar names and were adjacent to each other, but no one ever confused the two. If Hankuk University was the gathering place for the final winners among the prodigies from all over the country who had at least once aimed for it, Hangung University was a school that those in the know knew, and those who didn’t, didn’t—a place sought out in a hurry by the kids who once scoffed at it as a knockoff of Hankuk University after tasting the harsh reality of college admissions later on. While Hankuk University produced outstanding results every year and had many famous figures attend its alumni association, Hangung University struggled with a mediocre employment rate, and its most famous graduate to date was the aide to a corrupt politician whose name had appeared ad nauseam on the society pages until recently.b7348112e5f7ac17

Using his classmate’s introduction, Hyowon gave a slight bow and sat down in an empty seat. Since he hadn’t participated in any department activities at all, he hadn’t gotten to know anyone except for a few classmates, and as it happened, there was no one he knew at the table he sat at. Even though the Sunbaes, who had been grumbling quietly about him being late, shut their mouths and stared intently at his face, Hyowon didn’t pay it much mind. He was more interested in the meat that was grilling nicely.b4f97fe48cca2147

The atmosphere, which 59fe35bbc2 had quieted for e3654a20e3 a moment, became 613b856ad4 lively again with eb05619f7c a toast from 8daf223a14 the loud third-year d7e8e366f4 department representative. Hyowon listened 54cd26a717 to the bfba9c3084 self-introduction of 40bb73e4a0 the Sunbae 2fb8d0d5ab sitting across 69a5e3861e from him a066792170 and drained 776157e838 the glass 032a01d3ec that had d5ed363ba7 been filled 28c37d8da8 for him c97ac7c9b4 beforehand.935a2992b2f874b0

When he e0d7609f0c shook the 407b3500dc glass, the 30cad957ac somaek that 4bdcd5bd0d thinly coated b53710f89d the bottom 3d40e00e80 sloshed around. As if this 750bd4e2c6 was so amusing, bd533070b5 the Sunbae across 37990cc299 from him picked 9752f6856b up a soju 6b86a4f726 bottle. Hyowon gave him 4100327508 an affable smile 20f0028c01 as he refilled 286b604e6c his glass and 4ed5dc496d fiddled with the b347bbca5c brim of his 749c3e4da7 cap.8b35f05a2ff122e0
The drinking party quickly grew lively. When they played drinking games, Hyowon was often singled out, but he skillfully avoided getting caught. And though the chatter would abruptly turn to Hyowon’s table, Hyowon himself, the center of attention, remained nonchalant. The phone the Sunbae across from him had taken to ask for his number went around the entire table before it returned to Hyowon’s hand, but he decided to let it slide—both the list of newly added phone numbers and the rudeness of handling someone else’s phone without permission.8a73613074184a34

Hyowon, who had gotten along well with people of various ages at the gym since he was young, didn’t find the gathering of upperclassmen and underclassmen uncomfortable. As for the strange tension created by the even gender ratio and the atmosphere of sizing each other up, evaluating, and expressing interest, he took a step back as if it were someone else’s business rather than trying to adapt. Everyone was desperate to draw him in, but Hyowon’s reaction was moderately nonchalant and moderately polite.fa3e6826eaf43f2b
Around the time several empty liquor bottles had piled up on each table, talk of wrapping up began to emerge. It was an unspoken rule that freshmen were expected to attend the second round. For Hyowon, whose main objective was to eat meat, this was not a welcome development. Everyone else was busy socializing, pushing the delicious meat to the side, so Hyowon hadn’t been able to fill his hungry stomach either, and on top of that, they were saying they should go to a cheap place for drinks for the next round. His enthusiasm completely died down when he overheard someone say the side dishes there weren’t very good.0e23b3af4b61c1d5

A moment to regroup arose before they moved. In the chaotic gap when some went out for a smoke, some to the restroom, and some giggled on the phone, Hyowon rose from his seat. Adjusting his cap, he passed between the crowded tables and went outside. Cool air filled his nostrils, which were saturated with the smell of grilled meat, and he could finally breathe. Hyowon puffed out his chest again and rubbed his slightly unfocused eyes with his hand. The alcohol was slowly creeping up on him, but it wasn’t enough to get him drunk.0ed08689466eb17e
Today was b1b905dfc8 the third cea9bee53f time he b7844c198d had ever 4a9c603f53 had a d245366261 drink. The first c48d910612 time was 4ae5be14a6 for New 3ea1f749e0 Year’s, when f17d675b15 he had 25ca9cee66 jokbal and af83dcfae9 soju with 1a54189bef the director 3aa6656340 and the e7a48e6b81 Hyungs from 6661e59737 the gym. It was 0646e5f329 bitter and 7a578a61a7 tasted bad, fb4108a5e5 but he bc2d0460f4 just drank e39f39d4ae it for 21de55553b the taste 04543c5030 of the b3e6ba38c2 jokbal. The second e8392f8975 time was 07efa0c3c3 in the 8388e56c77 middle of c5fc564b6d the day, 008024c0d9 drinking at fe71450a20 home with 088e584bc3 his Noonas. His younger Noona had 26fe0ba0f1 taught him drinking etiquette, a5f401815a saying you should learn 56dd8497e2 to drink from an 5d34fa3da0 adult, and even his 611d19f565 older Noona, who had dfd6ae9e5c quit drinking due to d15988c804 pregnancy and childbirth, had c631b6f23f joined in. The alcohol still tasted ffc1f38c07 bad, but the side 39d551985f dishes were delicious. The spicy stir-fried 001d535d0e octopus was to 0729acfae4 die for.c711aca46ad80398

Why do 1547861dca people drink 61dc0c283d when the c699a9f2fe side dishes 0332e5a9a2 are bad? For Hyowon, it 6094e5474f was incomprehensible. Just as 6e6c0001f9 he turned 242f1b2354 around, thinking 59a41fb757 he should 4919863d7e just go 237302db8a home, a 8e58e6d6f7 chaotic scene 7b17c71819 unfolded inside 796f5e4300 the barbecue 2dbe8cdac7 restaurant. The commotion was 5d74705129 palpable even through 5f4709c98c the glass window, a7ba79fbf0 so everyone standing b1e7898611 outside peered into 7a2f9c5360 the restaurant, checking 319c03debf to see if 3517a460da it was their 6d1be3dd21 group. Coincidentally, the winner 435959cafb was Hyowon. He could see 10782b6435 a few of 20dbefb67e the Sunbaes, who 1c2d83347c should have been ab1979750b in the corner ec7b51e0f8 seats, standing in 2323ac52a0 the middle of daea1da197 the restaurant, veins a1e9fd9c3b popping on their 6c8d3801b2 necks.91da0d18bd46e6ef
Ah. A sigh escaped from within him. It was a bother, and he didn’t want to get involved. His heart didn’t want to step in, but his feet were slowly, slowly moving. The moment he opened the door and went in, he heard someone talking behind him.d76f1e53b7d677ea

Exactly. Why would I? Whoever said that was 7fc47ba278 right. Hyowon deeply sympathized c3b55b48a5 and pulled his db4d40a3b4 cap down.655f93d18236b1c0
The inside 7228aa188b of the 15680a0b9e restaurant was 2c052b2c06 filled with bc2313ffac a heavy e0d876cf2b atmosphere, as 64f5aaaded if thoroughly 241be7ed9b pickled in 07102b6803 alcohol.

It’s very easy for a squabble to break out and lead to a fight, especially at a drinking party. However, it’s rare for things to escalate to the stage of actually hitting someone. After all, violence is a distant and difficult concept for those who haven’t experienced it directly. Thinking it would probably end without much fuss, Hyowon took his classmate’s place and lightly grabbed the Sunbae’s arm. If he had predicted the accident that was about to occur, he would have covered his mouth, not his arm. In a moment of carelessness, a vulgar curse spewed from the Sunbae’s mouth.949eca3dad5c3d94
It was 7a669d8e46 like pouring 2a6f2e4635 oil on da933ba4cf a fire. The opponent, who 5d1e44c760 exploded as if 6c30b04f4a he had been 46a8ff2450 waiting for it, 8290a6ed32 glared and lunged 7e36ef74b5 forward. A clumsily clenched 553142e47a fist flew. You’d have 3258a28810 to be 737d412afd an idiot cb726fb9f6 not to 54e109fc7f dodge it. Hyowon’s Sunbae was an 2d148551cd idiot. Hyowon pulled the f7b8ef0631 Sunbae’s arm back 95353185d6 and moved forward. It was 5bc7d585b1 as good 44f473d94c as putting ad1469fcf0 his face 445aa926b9 right in 7e60e367be front of 2442db4a29 the flimsy, ff076e5516 slow, and 4fe3baebbd weak-looking fist.89e2e234c19ac65c

Thwack.1c472cebcaf02804
The moment Hyowon’s head snapped to the side, a suffocating silence fell. Hyowon forced down the hollow laugh swirling in his mouth and wiped the left corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. A little blood smeared onto it. He was lucky. The advantage of blood is that its visual effect is immediate. Even a tiny amount of the bright red color makes the opponent nervous and flustered. It was a good move to turn the tables.a420574c70a0667b

Voices of concern for faa6933bc4 Hyowon broke the silence, 5afc816736 and the surroundings began 879a39b342 to murmur. The focus of 60cdaac580 attention turned first 51cee973d7 to Hyowon, then 409aace7bb moved to the b752b57c93 assailant, and finally, ab976382da it was the d2e7cdc17c turn of the 1f6e710449 man who had 83604a8251 just entered the 20b613b310 restaurant.c99107afe118c834

The man, who had d5d143f602 boldly stepped between the 063cfa020d two, stood with his 431dcbf02a back to Hyowon. The situation, which 5874694bc2 would have ended 7d6fcbae39 if the opponent 46725800a7 had backed down 260136e514 moderately, entered a 0ba8b07757 new phase with 19062c0e7c his appearance.

Back then, it hadn’t happened inside the barbecue restaurant but in front of it; it wasn’t a situation where he got swept up while half-heartedly breaking up a fight, but a bothersome situation where a drunkard had picked a fight with him; the coat the man was wearing wasn’t peach-colored but black; and Hyowon wasn’t twenty years old but nineteen.123466d13aca2319

He belatedly recognized the other guy over the man’s shoulder as well. He had seen those nostrils, flaring widely. The face that had fallen flat on its back after bumping into Hyowon and fumed with indignation flashed faintly in his memory, almost but not quite there. In contrast, his memory of the man he had seen on the same day was very vivid. So vivid that he even remembered his scent clearly.01bef74445e462e1

He spoke so elegantly that it almost sounded like a gentle remark. But in reality, it was a comment that didn’t consider the other person’s feelings in the slightest. The man’s companion, who had come in with him, glanced at Hyowon and burst out laughing. No one, including Hyowon, laughed with him.1c8b5a123ed43ff7
In the strange tension, 2fc9903752 the opponent was the cbdee3ebdc first to back down. His face was flushed dc13df801a red and blue, but fce48800f2 his momentum had subsided, 4e2f5c0878 and his voice, unlike 5608428e14 when he had been ce6f09aa28 shouting, was small as 20495da95f if it were crawling 75c89b9e0a away.6a511eb795c2f97a

Hyowon gestured 0b43cc6ac2 toward the 6262c5a387 man’s face f9588969f1 with his d6561a50fe eyes, and a62fad58d8 his own 8d097d28f5 cheek with 4150e3dd45 his fingertips. Right around dfe4a92b13 there, the 6045bccbc0 man’s pale 4ebc6501b5 skin was f901a3fb02 slightly flushed.

The man swept a hand over his face. Hyowon lifted the brim of his cap, narrowed his eyes, and bobbed his head up and down, trying to see the color of his face through the gaps between his fingers. Then, when their eyes met, the man smiled. With a light sound, his eyes curving softly. His parting lips were revealed between his middle and ring fingers. The fleeting smile he caught a glimpse of was more brilliant than the ring’s ornament. He slurred over both the faint but brilliant smile and the limited state of being “a little” drunk and said.603761087497d37a

Hyowon, who had d222c6c2ec no particular way 85373ac24a to go, just c08e991ac8 stood there. Seeing what was visible, 094ec64d9e hearing what was audible.

Hyowon frowned. There was a db03925796 part of him 3fbac941e5 that felt a f2f1673c21 little wronged.

You must not hit civilians. That was what he had been taught. It was a remnant of his rigorous training. It had been so long since he had been in a ring that it was a distant memory, and he had put away his gloves and athlete’s uniform long ago, but what was once learned remained as habit, as instinct. Even though it was all meaningless now, it wasn’t that he wouldn’t fight, but that he couldn’t. Hyowon licked the inside of his slightly bitter-tasting mouth and frowned.cdba69d91ad83676

Making a half-hearted dog-barking sound, Hyowon gave up on the act that wasn’t working in the slightest.

The pub was on a main street. On the upper floor of a closed cosmetics shop, a cheap-looking neon sign flickered on and off. The stairs leading up were narrow, and the door was shabby, but the inside was quite spacious. They passed by a window seat where the table hadn’t been cleared yet and went further inside. They were guided by a waiter to a room with a red beaded curtain.1d77e504731c608e
The loosely 7618715612 strung beaded 65994fd35e curtain barely 5682eaa85c served as e48f2e12a2 a partition.

After the waiter left, the two of them each drank a glass of water. Before they could pour fresh water into their cups, the soju and basic side dishes arrived first. The man filled the glasses first, and Hyowon ate the basic side dishes. The shot glasses were placed in front of each of them, but they didn’t drink. The man, who had poured the alcohol with such vigor, only fiddled with his glass before taking his hand away. He brought over the menu, which he hadn’t even looked at before, and read it.c957a957ad08e908
Within the bustling pub, only the table where Hyowon sat was quiet. The shabby beaded curtain, through which both the inside and outside were visible, was serving as a boundary dividing the clamor from the silence. Even though he could hear shouting through the curtain, Hyowon didn’t look away. Not until the man lifted the menu to cover his face.89583e09f7c31d82

There were many new notifications. Missed calls were in the double digits, messages in the triple digits. Having left the barbecue restaurant so abruptly, they would certainly have a lot to say. For the most part, the names were the ones saved at the drinking party earlier, so he didn’t know who was who, but the content was all the same anyway. They asked if he was okay, said they were sorry, asked if he wasn’t coming back, asked where he went, asked if he went home, and said the situation had been resolved.75f73aca10dfa038

Hyowon replied smoothly and finished off the remaining rolled omelet.

A silence fell. It wasn’t awkward, but it wasn’t comfortable either, just enough to be aware of whether the food was going into his nose or his mouth, the kind that makes you pull your feet back neatly after they bump once under the table.217c8c544c135013

With the not-so-tasty silence 9ff04f87e7 as a side dish, c4add01487 Hyowon ate diligently, and bcc2e29ed8 Woosoo kept glancing at 3a72fabedb him. Was he eating eb6b737a49 with his eyes?8253c27e066ce52e
Occasionally, when the sound of drinking water and refilling a glass was heard, Hyowon would look up to meet his eyes, but Woosoo would always be the first to look away. He was putting on an act, building a wall, saying, I’ve never looked at you, so don’t you look at me either. Yet, when Hyowon put the last piece of boiled pork in his mouth, he tapped the table to deliberately draw his attention. Though it seemed he didn’t have anything special to say.376348c734a5e808

The two of them were holding each other’s gaze, borrowing the clamor from outside the curtain to pretend it wasn’t quiet, to pretend they were quite close. Then, Woosoo’s pretty eyes blinked deeply twice first. After a faint hint of a smile brushed past on the second blink, his eyes narrowed. Was he frowning? It wasn’t threatening at all, so he wasn’t sure. Hyowon lifted the brim of his cap and leaned his head forward slightly. He was only trying to see more clearly, but Woosoo’s eyes widened as if startled by the suddenly closed distance. Flustered, his gaze finally broke away.967ddf5ca787a3ce

As soon as 99266eba15 he stepped out 944898bc2a from behind the d411875e3b curtain, Woosoo was a2dba13b7a caught by acquaintances 3f407973bf who were nearby. Their gazes turned to cb3e795608 Hyowon as well, but f1c34430ab Hyowon just gave a bfea73c540 slight nod and went 11fed85c1b ahead. He took out his 1ea9c210ba wallet while waiting for f5ab466278 the cashier at the 63e01a9cd8 counter. Just as the cashier d571db57ad came and he was c4acf0f04c about to pay, an 18550b72cc arm shot out from 3e7148758a behind Hyowon and handed 815dbb15e3 over a card first. Not to be eacab30504 outdone, Hyowon also 7e728c6d3e held out his 39a5ae0032 card. The cashier 5e4bcba2aa looked back 42a1616faa and forth e679080ff3 between the ce733c1946 two, looking 66fc2a4068 troubled.1be6f96a18a62428

The smell 0e3a77e22e of alcohol 8e9446a537 and Woosoo’s 62855a9766 unique scent e049d2a1af wafted over 893f72a6cd from up 870a3b63cf close, and c1a8be0964 for a 0e5867b3c8 moment, he 325070e52e felt dizzy.

In the end, Woosoo’s 0e300e34e9 card was chosen. Woosoo’s hand e66896a541 gently enveloped 9377343b41 Hyowon’s, which 29fb42a196 had lost 433ef7d191 its purpose.

The man, who had been spouting nonsense, lost strength in his legs and staggered. The hand he reached out toward Woosoo, who happened to be in front of him, was desperate. However, Woosoo stood by and watched, making no effort whatsoever to catch him. If his companions hadn’t shown up in time and supported the man, he would have fallen flat on his back. No, that wouldn’t have happened. Because Hyowon had reluctantly turned his body in that direction. It was a goodwill born almost of instinct. It was a relief that there was no need for that goodwill to be exercised.9adb72edd0dfd258

Woosoo’s face, bathed in the moonlight, was so clear, and a strange stubbornness that said he wouldn’t do it if he didn’t want to was etched on his face, that Hyowon was at a loss for words. He didn’t want to force him when he said he didn’t like it, so he decided to just let him treat him and came down the rest of the stairs. As he drew closer, Woosoo took a step back. A cool air undulated. Behind him, two long shadows overlapped as one and then separated.4fcaa0bbe0feb271
Hyowon’s gaze, 144073308b which had f33d734e4b been keenly 9645c5e0ae following Woosoo’s afd825b4f9 subtle, flinching 27a4efcc53 movements, shifted cc1178af89 to the 9ef989ab85 arcade in baed378e93 the building dd2afdb9a1 next door.

Wondering if a 7f26f123b7 fight had broken a5e859c843 out, he glanced 938c2a335d over, and Woosoo, 3d95221ec4 casting his gaze f897ebf292 in the same 37df965a57 direction, explained the 433d10715e situation.49c90a68f780e56c

He was hooked 116b426325 by the words a64ee41aca Woosoo had lightly 9e57080f7c added. Hyowon checked the a5d922e70f punching machine visible 9d0885ee70 through the crowd 346fdcf0ba of people. It was a cc36c81fca structure where the 85bbe689d3 punching ball came c89e087235 down from above.

He had never been looked down upon like this before he quit boxing. But he decided to accept his shabby state rather than feel sorry for it. It couldn’t be helped since, in the eyes of Woosoo, who didn’t know him as a boxer, he would just look like a hot-headed kid. Hyowon’s build wasn’t brawny at first glance, and his loose-fitting clothes hid his rock-hard muscles. Unless he took off his clothes right now, it would be hard to shed the image of a kid with just words.b5fda1ce5967dd2b

Hyowon clenched and unclenched 863145a0b3 his fist, holding onto a62c7f042c the warmth of Woosoo’s 34946cd1e9 hand that had briefly 9d3fb4c66d touched his, and went cb4e24b4f4 to the arcade. The atmosphere 2a74719214 was chaotic be5aace8a7 with people 2789ae589f who had 547356dd68 been successively 01af57f855 defeated by cf17336b62 the fortress-like e09a6ac23d punching machine.

When he held out his hand, Woosoo looked at him in disbelief and opened his wallet. He said he didn’t have much cash either and handed over two one-thousand-won bills. Hyowon snatched just one of them. Two chances for a thousand won. He thought he wouldn’t need two.2f7ff8bf4360ef21
He didn’t make a grim resolution against the punching machine. A competitive spirit welled up, but it wasn’t to the point of being cumbersome. It felt like facing the punching bag he used to walk right past every time he went to the gym. It was just that.7f724f1cef6cb98b

Hyowon put the money into the punching machine and positioned his feet. It was a stance that came out instinctively, ingrained in his body. He lightly clenched and unclenched his hand, then clenched it again. He gauged the position of the red punching ball that came down from above. It was at an awkward height, so a slight mistake would cause a glancing blow. But he wouldn’t make such a shoddy mistake.7e3c0a6f12ba36ab
This was an expensive punch he wouldn’t even do when a student asked him to. He hadn’t swung his fist hard even once since the day he trained with Jeongju. Still, he was confident. Call it bravado, call it a bluff, it didn’t matter. The moment he extended his arm and put his weight into it, a strong belief arose that he could change the number engraved at the top of the punching machine. The hitting point looked just like an opponent’s weak spot. It was a similar color to his old gloves.31cddad80c50f772

BOOM!b5be93039d01b035
A sound close to a roar echoed. As the sensation of the force clinging to the back of his hand was swept away by the wind, the numbers shot up without hesitation. The first digit kept changing. The upward trend didn’t slow down. As it passed the 700-point range, which was rarely surpassed, and the first digit changed to an 8, light cheers erupted from the surroundings, and from the moment it entered the 900-point range, it became dead silent in contrast. Finally, the current score and the highest score flashed with the same number.93545e9af9473e73

I did it! The thrill bloomed small and then quickly died out. Breaking the record didn’t make him feel fantastic. He had simply achieved a goal, nothing more, nothing less. He didn’t savor the feeling of impact he was tasting for the first time in a long while. He just let it flow away like water. Just this much was far from enough to satisfy the thirst for the pleasure of victory. It would be more comfortable to get used to the thirst than to search for an oasis in the desert.e218684d55640fe5
He relaxed his hand and turned around. A smile, which hadn’t appeared at all in front of the new punch record, leaked out as soon as he saw Woosoo. He must have been very surprised. His already large eyes were even wider, and his thick lips were parted in a round shape. He was pretty even when he used his face so carelessly. Compared to such a Woosoo, the doll hanging as a prize was really ugly.ec2269365f984adc

The owner looked back and forth between the machine and Hyowon, as if he couldn’t believe it at all, and then, saying the machine seemed to be broken, he told anyone to take a shot with the remaining chance. A man who looked to be twice Hyowon’s size stepped forward triumphantly, but his record remained in the 700s.ee0b2b8e591b44e1
The owner, displeased, made up a rule that the person who broke the record couldn’t challenge again and gave him the doll. It was ugly even when he held it in his arms. The texture of the fur on its head was okay.5af32a8eaac4fb4e

A few 62d24a5f17 people entering 8ddfc78a0d the subway f04bbf898b station passed 2097a79961 Woosoo and fdf4063734 Hyowon in b03fe8a02c turn. However, neither their footsteps 0c6434b2ac nor their voices could 258da56e68 enter the realm of cee1d9dbdb Hyowon’s senses. The moment Woosoo’s 6a36a6d663 gaze shifted to f16e753445 the side, his 1c611e5365 concentration almost faltered, 43a0338a90 but his hair, 0d91822397 fluttering in the d430d33964 cold wind, his 1d426a95aa ear with its fbbe8cd5f2 three piercing holes, ef630617b4 his lightly twitching 801941ba64 cheek, his skin, 530ae44fbf dyed the color b407b88576 of strawberry milk, 3e31781f28 drew his eyes. He swept fe51a0d0f8 his bangs 2bacea9057 back with 2ffa51a9d3 his hand 9ebd18f0e3 and smiled cf541822f0 slightly.483df4d2d0cdf9ab

“I did 4153e8d833 think about 063cc6c8e5 it, but 074a7e544f if I a0f7c33b68 get your d3f83df94c number like f711e35f4c this, you’ll 7858fc5ead think of 0765067b5c me more, 379165a567 won’t you?”3b1f54b7154977c9
On second thought, he also liked the name he had saved as ‘Weird Kim Hyowon.’ Whatever it was, having a description attached meant he wasn’t indifferent.d3668de2711b1f3c

Woosoo lowered his eyes slightly and chuckled. The way his lip-line slowly parted was pretty. Were the luscious lips as soft as they looked? Hyowon finally ended up raising his hand toward them. It was half impulse, half consciousness. His fingers trembled slightly. He had probably never relaxed this much in his life. Not even when he was stopping his injured knee from shaking, not even when he was touching his surgical scar, it hadn’t been this much. Even so, he only fumbled with the air touching the lips and lowered his hand. He didn’t know about soft, but the breath that lightly brushed past was warm. A temperature that made his fingertips tingle. Woosoo, as if surprised, belatedly took a step back, and Hyowon, in contrast, took a step forward.06163c9420904f05

Only after imprinting the 09955f5d93 back of him, who 00439b2f9c turned and walked away 20dfecfe2e briskly, in his eyes 563921bb9d did Hyowon go down e4c5190695 the stairs again.
