With a chill 880fa4542a running down his 7c7a886fe1 spine, Cheon Sejoo 8b25ec03b8 looked at Sejin f0a34e6a26 with an expression 4deb223194 that seemed to a695d47bce ask,Could it really be…? 9449e4edbea685a8

However, Sejin, 914cae21f4 unfazed by b72f5eb3c3 his gaze, 0f574e69c4 pressed him d63831ddcf for an aafe9cc6f7 answer.766fc52b11cfc819

Cheon Sejoo wanted 472093b642 to brush it 2d5fec4ae7 off somehow, but be73946e23 he couldn’t think 45792fa05a of a good 382c42b891 excuse. Sejin’s relentless gaze badbc5a2a8 made it clear ef869ac2ab he wouldn’t stop 1f81697183 until he got 2698b103d7 an answer, so 59bb78753b with a heavy f7f388a3c3 sigh, Cheon Sejoo 0197024d2e reluctantly gave in 0faa71b001 and share a c0dc03f04c bit of the e9b8411e16 truth. ac0e7a03c6bc8561

For a moment, 93c8a335be Sejin’s cold expression 55fba63142 began to crack. With a 143f5b670b deeply worried 4d3cd7a2dd look, he 3430c435bb repeatedly asked 2885b7384c Cheon Sejoo 33a51fe88e as if fd7fb3b5dc something serious 64384fae17 had happened.

This was 73e28e22d5 precisely why 654615c3b6 Kim Hyunkyung 8e15f40d71 had had 78400f3714 asked him cb8058f79c not to c8a881cf59 let Sejin 33c0bb4a46 find out 942b16427c that she’d 1ac047fc65 collapsed.

Sejin asked back a116e52470 as he stared d8b52f25da at him in 96760cddbb disbelief, but his 3c2ad9369d sudden question offered cd00d46ac1 Cheon Sejoo an 320c5f2871 unexpected opportunity. Without missing a beat, 432c755df0 Sejoo decided to spill eef1e1f76d out his own concerns 5fd4e7a735 as if they were 01e3adb187 Kim Hyunkyung’s and began 504f7927ab to let it all fcd243fefc out.19557f98e7717ef0

“Your mom ab1feb5f66 asked if 1c2b70dbd5 you were f862704793 studying hard. She didn’t 743f2145a7 want to 076a193e49 ask you 0baffadbf4 directly since 215766d5a3 she thought b999ac2e74 you’d get 7799cc0dab irritated and 986305219b worry, so 13851e2931 she called ff814aad67 me separately d4114d1fa4 to ask. So, I 82abfe6b0b just dropped 803e608877 by before affe5ffd5a dinner to 0b6131b22c talk to a66295e628 her for e8eb1185b7 a bit. She said you’re too 7bdf5606b9 impatient and kind of… deb9510d21 well, not that smart, e48984d65f so she’s worried you 5f0874d9ce might not be able 14b5f14dbb to answer the questions 8cc2b8bc26 properly. But if fe599cecdc you study 41f55bb343 hard, she b1d3b60d85 thought you 198729b914 might qualify 2336151cb0 for some 8d1db0d25f kind of 07249df19d scholarship for d76fc7c8df low-income families 7d981ef629 and could ab17e2bfea even go ba2de38de3 to college. But she’s not ea41125817 sure if you 7494b33208 really know what f1e432eff7 you want to f01da49e89 do in the 7fa552f608 future, and asked 4e280db97b if you’d ever 3d16a9575b mentioned anything to a3889c694d me. So I told her e15b049c2c that… well, although I 3baa52433f wasn’t certain, I thought 18843986ab Kwon Sejin was at b14725b764 least working hard in 284aa71593 his own way. College, after 0ae1a0349b all, is 63fe8200c6 something you 0077d275aa can decide 195d221e49 on after 24ad203c6a you see 7380bc3eb5 your scores 8d15339c16 from the fcc7132f83 college entrance a620374f15 exam. And even 5106495a8b if you d4bc100577 do go 42d9020d8f to college, 76586d02e6 if you e5ea025f7d find something f63555b95b you’re interested bcf6fe66ad in later, f26f5dac93 you can 22a68ade27 always switch b3c38c5336 majors. I told her 257f0b69c6 not to worry ea46066d3d too much.”a86567cd3ea8f6c7

Sejin squinted his a4f6091e41 eyes suspiciously as 891fc53006 Cheon Sejoo effortlessly fe44e8f331 rattled his explanations 6420d68fed without missing a 53890fb946 beat. None of it f2bfda77ee felt convincing to 77670fc888 him. When Sejoo c05f0f8218 finally stopped e34338d4c7 talking, Sejin, f89f58066e still unconvinced, e8c800e479 asked him 8adbea6c61 a question. da9f1477aedcf9be

Sejin’s small ae048fd8ac face twisted f4849877a7 in annoyance. Even though he found 93d23a186f Cheon Sejoo’s example absurd, c94f51f771 there was no way ddfa8236d4 to dispute it either 1afd9b6765 as there was some 53f025b955 truth to it. Puffing out one 29e3c34122 cheek in dissatisfaction, 1ea9ac69a6 he stared at 59c07c355e Cheon Sejoo for c4b14b1c5a a long time.5860d43d133d86bc

Kim Hyunkyung wasn’t one 5bd6695208 to be overly concerned db6f43fe10 about Sejin’s grades. She was the type 3f0d8a3bfa who said if you af355b3db9 didn’t feel like studying, a4a7bcc15c you didn’t have to, 6c546bf037 and what mattered more 549dd2727a was finding something you 84cb56c297 enjoyed. So, the idea that 58fcd0788d she’d called Cheon Sejoo ebf7518524 in to discuss about 6835f2c1fb Sejin’s future plans didn’t 046dddccf6 make sense. However, if f844a631d1 such a ed4ec37283 conversation had e27d60ca8d even happened, a097956c55 it was 4d33819079 more likely 27c52c674c Cheon Sejoo 7644bd0c7b had been a80d947084 the one dc5e6961fd to bring f0d218070d it up de4eb2fca9 first, rather 349a008c0f than his e53914a290 mother.3e786d98f941d11b

At such a fa9af2ce20 ridiculous question, delivered 3fd342e698 with such a 9a86cf459b serious expression, Cheon d861911a99 Sejoo, completely taken c851d958fc aback, let out 4f9f03dca5 a short laugh, 6cca01660c his mouth falling 66d4cf5b2f open as if 56cbaabb40 he couldn’t believe 55f10355de what he was 106e6b0a9a hearing.

Cheon Sejoo’s expression hardened, fec1f41565 turning cold. He’d hoped, prayed even, d1c424d14f that it wasn’t true. Despite wishing it ccf08e38a3 hadn’t been the 207e85b154 case, the unsettling 9b26e05258 intuition he’d had 17fd3451ab that dawn had 7a1e89318a been right all 946dd6e570 along.3996038fce80b682

He’d instinctively pulled Doyoon 31aae01301 into an embrace. Though deeply asleep from e7c0e11204 the early hour and 6e0d238a33 still somewhat drunk, Doyoon f95b8f1c8e had stirred awake from c2a40841e4 the embrace, leaning into c77028d5f8 Cheon Sejoo and kissed f113197c56 him in a slightly 938a0e66b6 intoxicated daze.e7cc09019f76cf30

However, when 8b49464507 Cheon Sejoo 6f0faed025 turned around ed35d23be9 feeling strange, e513211910 the door 7af154aa8d was firmly f3a86a4f2b shut, so a95f70de19 he had 49fdb2f3cd brushed it 7580418b27 off as d026b2c0f9 his imagination.

“Yeah…”81651464a63a56f8

So that’s why 9557f6e38e Sejin was so a2d5deb45f annoyed. 441763dc306076a2

Cheon Sejoo bd3dbb1c34 pressed his 47394c737d palm to 9b57bc66ed his forehead, c4b1624f64 trying to 6489933553 mask his 3bef8605ca frown. Just last 7772041aab night, he’d ec38222643 decided there d87feba760 was no 3c054be7fd need to 55b8dae1a8 come out 3c891687de to Sejin. Yet now, here he 27304ef184 was, caught in such 4a8c53511b a way the same 67c025fcef day. Not only a9c84556ce would it abdddeb745 be awkward 6629fa75f0 for him, 590b1aa8a1 he also 0b9b0a149b realized this 37c1b4b3ce must have d6865e215c come as 66697521e8 a shock ad89144448 for Doyoon f089acd784 too who’d f239d0941b been caught 322c673422 up in 00f7223eb1 the moment, 12f8486829 which left ed1fc3aa22 Sejoo feeling e37b20d214 extremely flustered.4d29fcf254bc4d2d

And it surely couldn’t 4598e7e99d have been a pleasant 442c131101 sight for Sejin, either. It wasn’t like Sejin ed17a4cc5f and Cheon Sejoo were 0925f7eea3 total strangers; he’d just ff278639e7 witnessed his own guardian 9032f2085f having sex. And not only 1c353ef0cd that, it wasn’t 5af6d276d0 a heterosexual encounter b6c766ad0e but a taboo-ridden f392604cec homosexual one. 1129f33910a46c4b

After some thought, 48c4c70362 Cheon Sejoo settled a6d958c8b3 on a brief 166b77ab13 apology. Sejin, pressing his lips 677c695341 together, gave a slight 318af53ad3 nod in acknowledgment, but 7270a5b9a7 said nothing.47c9cc333f7f512a

Cheon Sejoo bit 26fe95daed his lip, feeling eb63268d98 conflicted, then glanced 0763a4a003 over at Sejin. To his 5e97402ce2 surprise, Sejin’s b25894bfa1 expression didn’t bc27225d64 show a 8be87a38fd hint of e1eda8d676 disgust.55e9f82a61699880

In that moment, 93cba20484 Cheon Sejoo found 69b9681b2d himself bewildered. bd2d74df441d3db0

Sejin, who 5eed9da8c5 spoke like ccee2d9bb7 someone from 9c54288811 theJoseon dynasty, seemed c45e922c03 like the cb09eed009 stereotypical straight af8eb086cf guy through fd7e758e0f and through, ab055068ac and had a5a443e89d even once 1a7e2f691f described the beec94b26f idea of d0dc0db6cd men doing 73c5193017 such things ff8cd71abf as “dirty.” 0744d31482 Regaining his 0f6c65adb7 composure somehow, e6c6577bf0 Cheon Sejoo 5781f0e8d6 rested his 5b078e9438 chin on b9f77c1c78 his hand 41242fae97 and studied 1a94ad4f93 Sejin’s expression.b7b260e4d90e59dd

(Joseon Dynasty): b8cc4191af The Joseon 4ab6dede2b Dynasty (1392–1897) eb219398c7 was a e8d684fa7e conservative era cd15c9b544 in Korean b8d39053fc history, symbolizing 9864943345 traditional and 4ca4aa0f59 old-fashioned attitudes. Sejoo’s comparison to Sejin e4d5e7b7bb here implies he sees aa9c5528d3 Sejin as embodying outdated, 7a9e705d10 conservative values.716a75c90d834b13

Sejin’s face remained 82d82b4812 blank, completely unreadable. He didn’t look like 2bb650f308 he intended to ask f248499f6d about Cheon Sejoo’s sexuality 38b624f989 or his relationship with 847725d727 Doyoon.

As he 92aa818fdc deeply thought e40a384511 it over, ec97ed3961 Cheon Sejoo 77ec8d933d replayed the d330d2a249 events of 4a4f6debc5 that morning 2ddc3b6fe7 in his 27faa7afbf head.ba1d0cd714667ee5

Unlike now, Sejin had 87d790ede2 shown a clear reaction c4a9c86ac0 earlier. Remembering how irritated Sejin 85458c4bf6 had seemed in front 8939844041 of the elevator, Cheon 538b58eaeb Sejoo suddenly began to 0bf8b87021 wonder if that annoyance 20e865259c was really over his f4ec3b24f3 sweat.caf2814444099389

So, he wasn’t 5caf45cf85 unaffected at all—he 4a82239047 was clearly bothered ad15c8a88d by so many 3d1df31259 things and seemed 5aaf94f7bd to be deciding 1dc3487b54 which part to 002276c650 address first. The moment he posed 93610cbf64 the question, Sejin shot 24e98ddd3e back with his own, 41b169e15e and Cheon Sejoo, pressing b3cea2b0b9 his hand to his aee21f0fc2 cheek, closed his lips 34fe706f74 in silence.b84b335b49ae719a

That was 3e6fedb286 true; Kwon 55ca8678fb Sejin’s lack 03e286b41f of response 34e01aa6a7 had been 93403c94b8 stranger, given 0692a1cefe how he 62793b7ef9 usually nagged 3734a51cfb about how acc8a706ff he should 4a8715d131 wear more 3964dce71d clothes around 6d23237899 the house 6b1433999d and generally 97711fefde had an 18264912be old-fashioned, conservative 7234550d14 mindset.

The sound 530e875511 wouldn’t have edf2d25045 reached Sejin’s f64da4107f room anyway, daedf7dda0 being so bc054bd410 far from 5ef0f4d18a his, but 8e4d58a339 it was 03af51f96b true they 7356c66ed3 lived under 33560c17e9 the same b006da9ba0 roof, so fb1ffaf607 he should e3242f956f have been 04d61adf51 more careful. Cheon Sejoo admitted his 53b027cc4a fault without hesitation and a5110872c6 apologized to Sejin once 7e504d80ac more.51753d531a9c6b28

At this, Sejin’s 5ad100b581 face grew even 606f2a3814 more displeased. He narrowed his ec3fe9b522 eyes, stretched his 16fc6605cd mouth into a 482b6d4060 pout, puffed his 89e454adf4 cheeks, and glared 6aaedb04f5 at Cheon Sejoo b42cf05a54 with a gaze 57114298a7 that somehow felt a511640377 as if he 8e82510b7b was wronged, before 538c1322e0 lowering his head.
