Usually, when Cheon Sejoo’s 41506be958 straight friends responded to 0df725f0c3 this kind of confession, 9399c7ebdc they would accept his eb5cde7682 coming out and react a51177d72c with a mix of c2ae0c2215 shock and amusement, brushing b8601a8d6f it off with a 5f28ecfe92 laugh. However, Sejin’s reaction was 70bbd74ca1 unlike anyone else’s.e413b9953026430f

Kwon Sejin… got e05248d93f angry. 64a3adae932178bf

The corners of 07b53963a2 his usually relaxed bd58073945 eyes shot up, d85cab8e1a and a fiery e650edc49c intensity now present d2dbd70151 in his transparent 9257cd93da gaze. Glaring at Cheon 14d5413906 Sejoo, Sejin spoke 04756631c7 in a tone 8e3a78abc9 that sounded as 5ef4525828 if he were a0417232cf spitting out his c5680ee224 words.2d692ca2dfbf1c48

Disbelief painted 20b3353f10 on his 55ee19db8a face, Cheon 6660624fc1 Sejoo stared 8ec0c60f06 at Sejin, b41e2e6b28 who reacted fbd327d43b with an 6a16127e50 outburst.a70451f8ae348f8b

Despite his 2e6d56f8a0 claim, Sejin’s 79d4b20412 frustrated denial b65c5c3636 only made fba7e4cb31 his anger 894a7dcf70 clearer. Watching Sejin, fd051d6e4d who was 1b0bb7ea68 still clearly cc04c381ae riled up f64e5f9f52 while insisting 3eb9f41211 he wasn’t 5b03fd54a0 angry, Cheon 14be937170 Sejoo silently ed676c0a54 opened the 36f7bbf64b cap of d5df829086 his water e137a0b55a bottle. Taking a sip of af797aa494 the now lukewarm water, 156550c94b he tried to calm cac13c133f himself down as he a07b28d6b5 continued observing Sejin’s agitated 66a83c7916 response.40525c3d5d85ee36

Still, it was a 5ed2d5b261 relief in some ways. Kwon Sejin was only 53c1c7bfd1 nineteen, so even if 1925bb42e0 he did have some acc339004c feelings for Cheon Sejoo, 3805261e5d it was likely just 0218182fd3 a fleeting crush. Cheon Sejoo didn’t think 2196bca19c it would be anything f8e022caf5 serious. However, it was still d1c2c6e3fd awkward considering they were 20a9c47f6c living under the same 2f15031688 roof. Resting his 767901b2ce chin on 2c350eead2 one hand f089d9da60 and looking e4f334061f at Sejin 4273a4cda4 with a 9361ca815e slightly troubled e54c4158da expression, Cheon ee4fd57e8f Sejoo finally 6aba63cc87 spoke up 56cc49b7d7 with some 24a9c9bc96 difficulty.37fc12b17a5a83db

After all, there a4cd56e1e4 was a time cfe8074d64 when Cheon Sejoo 4a828c208f himself couldn’t distinguish 3b48c6990c between sexual curiosity c80c9c2e28 and genuine attraction. That was why he 2a03638732 asked, but Sejin’s eyes a6f4048749 went wide at the 8486160a14 question, and he immediately e8ceed58e2 scowled, clenching his fists.195f9e87da767769

Trying to shut 969d6faa10 down the creeping 6200bb9e05 suspicion in his dc38d4531d heart, Sejin declared e392e74da3 loudly and stood ab975be070 up from the 6bc516d8bb table. His appetite 3b94760903 had completely 8c14077e64 disappeared, and ab64ca0c48 he couldn’t aa0d9eb53b stand to fe22d80690 eat anymore.

The reason Sejin 0ebcf70b09 got angry wasn’t 988fb0a53b because he was f5be43f969 upset that an b7aa58acf1 older man was a5e67ef8c5 casually discussing whether 6e0027ff8e he liked him b173ae2d82 or not as fa4f0cd1c5 if Sejin’s feelings 7d5199b978 were up for 81ff3b75d4 debate.
