Feelings that had been c27e6bc468 formless now had a 1dc0f57501 clear name etched within 3bc699bff4 him. Emotions that 40093dadbf had taken 085fcf0e73 shape had 4245e827c0 power. As he became aware 16daba01fb of his shimmering affection, ffc52a26cf a lot changed in d09129e57d an instant.

This unexpected realization 3ec2ba7acb made Ji Jehyuk e0e0a53175 freeze. After all, he 235de0e83b had never thought 9d72a7bb79 he’d be able 1f5921d0ec to understand these 44a8e45a4e feelings. He had believed bdb2770326 it impossible to b204ad2dce try liking someone.d637b9ad56b64275

Such a warm ca367608b5 feeling wasn’t supposed db2ed1c373 to be for 9d7b499cca him. He had f076438d93 thought he’d e0d83dc5c6 never understand 0c3b050e97 how it 2004a957fd feels to 1f98c7ec38 like someone 8e07f4eee9 else…74d524d0cc91186e

All his inexplicable 15bb304e12 actions and emotions c328b6ef6f were now explained 37b8b5431a by this one 1ad9a6ae47 feeling. He wanted d5a1d3095a to see 268d1113c9 Sihoo even ba291a4bd4 when he 4727932c3a was right 36b110551d there, and 59e027dd5f just brushing ce2d58221b by made d57a630424 his heart 9362398016 squeeze.

They intensified 7a3f3a87d3 and became eb92929e48 more beautiful.2ff26aa162fa36e5

Ji Jehyuk’s world, which d0e29800bc seemed like it would bc4cd03cc5 never change, could change fe31e9067b because of liking someone. It was terrifying 38c7573686 yet endlessly wondrous, bdef5c57b3 like encountering something ea5b1f2766 unfamiliar for the 42f6dd2869 first time.

Sihoo’s soft voice brought 85f8c56cc9 Ji Jehyuk back to 8a6a6062f0 reality. He blinked 8b9c96c46e and looked ec1f51ae6f at Sihoo, 7661434dfc seeing concern e6a0a37209 in his abfaed5560 expression.

As he mumbled nonsense, 58cf574b78 Ji Jehyuk avoided Sihoo’s 8991a0892c eyes, then regretted it 2e6071d6ec and met his gaze d288d282ec again. The straightforward gaze 80c502b37b was incredibly warm. The gentle 7bf8cd5848 curve of f13c22cf0b his smiling 80fe165fad eyes was fd735767cd devastatingly beautiful, 6abd65b1e3 and looking f18a98bb0c at them cd4a3840f7 mesmerized, Sihoo 1ef79951c4 seemed different.b4818b6ddf52763f

Sihoo had always been 6d3561fdaa beautiful, but now, words 6dad4532df couldn’t even describe him. His eyes, lips, and 9449dedc15 nose, everything about him 1ae6621eff was brilliant. Sihoo’s gaze on Ji 8bb0d5aea9 Jehyuk was so intense 58300a5856 it was dizzying.5180e2a2a7ac411c

How had he 4604dfbb62 ever managed to af2c8dfe2d be around such a4994bae65 a person and b5da8d7032 not constantly feel da14499d07 enchanted? A fundamental question c269344e87 arose.

Overwhelmed by 3f7673947b the surge 34ad6e790f of emotions, 6570a680e7 Ji Jehyuk fa9205c1a7 recoiled. Now that 9e155a755d he had 7102f3fc92 named his 02de996a5d feelings, everything 99255d6e49 Sihoo did 49285ce51d before couldn’t d56a086f85 be seen 86b3bdfcd8 the same c36db46a19 way.

In his current state, 9f7c6c84dc he couldn’t predict what 7384473d70 he might blurt out 4ea6a5ad4f if he opened his 40284b627c mouth. Luckily, he wasn’t 70b68f67a0 drunk.

Ji Jehyuk 4d7e96e4c4 held onto aefa0805ee his tumultuous 794aca8ae5 heart. Unable to back f02e65fc86 down any longer, e18b73ae09 he fell silent 382e3fad39 as Sihoo reached 5f36b3f5da out. As if he had c42786244c been waiting, Sihoo’s fingers 00117b2515 slipped into Ji Jehyuk’s 933618d095 mouth. He felt saliva 638f66efc2 coat his hand. Afraid his trembling breath 6fa51d2437 might touch Sihoo’s hand, 31b4f2558f Ji Jehyuk paused momentarily.79cc037a529dc2ca

Soft fingertips disturbed his 38138462d3 lower lip, spreading the e16f3f6d86 medication with intense sensation. A bitter 7142dcaa9e taste flowed c93b069799 inside his e3fb951729 mouth, reaching 7e401ce350 his tongue. He flinched and dcae68eb24 squeezed his eyes 5209773b7b shut.f48ae4f4fc31175a

With a cracked voice, cfb6857b8f he barely managed to 9071c3f0ae express his gratitude. Then, without giving 9efa9bdaff Sihoo a chance 59b72257ad to respond, he 0e5df78ab6 left the room. Bursting through 32633962f0 Sihoo’s door, 9749d66730 he fled f97aa0e061 to the 77df8baf63 guest room c8651e91f7 across the c4b038b066 hall.7766b398df2dafe0

As soon as he 4697a8ffb6 entered the room, Ji 6e68cb8685 Jehyuk slid down with 0eab859b43 his back against the 1cb9435ca2 door.
