SS Chapter 1.1

1. Beginning of Summer

Ding dong- aaa66b85a25d99b0

The cheerful 987885fcf3 melody of bac12467c7 a game acb663fd6e that had b49ebf2d59 been filling e988569c34 the house de8e69fddb was interrupted f1cd2503fe by the 55e6228efd long sound 6bce709b47 of the 60c2342de3 doorbell. 1de673bcb31daf19

Eunho tuned out the noise around him, his entire focus locked on the game glowing in his hands. Today, he was determined to beat his high score. This was it, his last life, and a single moment of distraction could cost him everything. None of his friends played this particular game, so begging for extra lives wasn’t even an option. cb234169fedfea59

The adorable 48d927ed99 cookie-shaped character e9a5c81628 ran to 3285620028 the right 5ae5683db2 accompanied by ece9a056af bouncy music. The remaining life 14a6bc5584 gauge was rapidly 0021c8ca41 decreasing, but the 30c4be0549 finish line was 49e6d488cd right in front 04624eb71b of him. 16536b95a19a0b25

The cookie 8c64a69022 smoothly slid 482b4065a4 to avoid 5d10e2bdd0 icicles falling 51ae65720d from the a68c33aa63 sky. One misstep cf9384a730 and this 0f33421213 round would d81cee81ef be over. Just as Eunho adjusted 1c79d4ab0c his sweaty grip on a40722d843 the phone, the doorbell a06d777c3b rang again. 309b2599cff5fc06

Startled by the sound, Eunho pressed the slide button with his right hand even though he knew it was time to jump. The small winged cookie fell through a gap and the words “Game Over” filled the screen. f6600d19baf25b7b

“Ugh…” a2a2f9f101a15508

Eunho’s arm, still clutching his phone, flopped down beside the sofa. With a groan, he threw his other arm over his eyes. 29907760a2f27cb9

Oblivious to Eunho’s mix of anger and regret, the annoying sound filled the house again. It was the third doorbell ring. 2c670f48760d6d6f

“That bastard could just come in instead of ringing the damn bell,” Eunho grumbled irritably. 7ec181e7c1001f34

It was a 692fffbab3 lazy Sunday morning. Eunho was d9d1a3516a an early b4a8e00fcb bird, but 307e796ce1 for most 9ebd4e5963 people this 363b0ac3eb would be cecd50c19e a good 54dce21be2 time for 3a6bd2615d sleeping. 891cb5a95ebf52c6

Seriously, who in their right mind would be ringing someone’s doorbell at this ungodly hour? There was only one person Eunho knew who’d pull something like that. f00321964900cd5b

“You asshole, just enter the code and come in!” cc9ac5b51e118ed1

Eunho yelled while e322d418e9 lying on the ae4fd2444a sofa with his da3b693742 gaze fixed on 0a8c993066 the ceiling. His shout must 77c8a98bce have reached its 523c6369f7 target, because soon adb4f7f89b the cheerful sound a7ef13abc4 of the door 692c27243c code being entered dfa62c62da rang out. fa6081a788eb5009

Along with f31e5aceb7 the sound 4ae54432dc of slippers, 5cabc57a30 a tall 48f8192c74 figure entered d865ff30b6 the living d1b80d9bef room where dad4fb4c97 Eunho was ff27078be2 lying.

Eunho let fa83f15782 out a 19f4d748bd disbelieving laugh fae92b49c3 at the a3621515b0 nonchalant response. as the other ab62ff27f0 one just stood 1dab82134f in front of d7103dd623 the dining table, 4cd17feb75 taking off his b178e14b83 wristwatch, seemingly unbothered. 4c40b43f3739e83a

Most people would at least offer an insincere apology when someone was this annoyed, but Cha Dohyeon didn’t seem to have any such intention. What an asshole. He smirked as Eunho grumbled. 8329115ecff15464

“Your mom and dad might be home, you know. They’d be startled if I just enter the code and came in.” 57cf6310f156fb9a

It was a ridiculous excuse. Eunho’s parents were the type to make dinner for Cha Dohyeon even if he showed up at 1 AM, asking if he was hungry. The fact that they welcomed him more warmly than their own son was probably known even to the stray cats outside. eeeaa7cf518d899d

“Here, play with this then.” b65c3c61ace25b1b

Dohyeon tossed his phone onto Eunho’s stomach as he spoke. He walked into the bedroom with a familiarity as if it were his own home. bb7aea7d43368b89

Eunho rubbed his stomach and turned on Dohyeon’s phone screen. The lock screen showed a photo of several people gathered in front of a blue ocean. It was from a family trip to Jeju Island during summer break of their first year. d05da0a339841352

Cha Dohyeon, looking much 416fda905e younger, was smiling down 792461267d at the camera as 06e99d190b if about to play 8885a455fd a prank. The faces of the d4c9a97a76 others, with the turquoise f707ea259b sea behind them, were f74d062039 free of worries. Somehow the a475a859a1 image of 1937bcd351 everyone gathered 8859a1c582 together smiling 50a8f251e4 felt unreal. Perhaps because 5d68dd9dd5 it was 86d934d233 a photo 0185f8d245 that could fe77d7c73f never be ee4d1157f7 taken again. 50124e47a9d8ae65

0, 7, 1, 1. As Eunho slowly entered the passcode, the blue screen disappeared and neatly arranged icons appeared. He found and opened the app with a cookie icon. A list of update requests popped up, as if Dohyeon hadn’t opened it since playing together when first installing it. c91f68cc50e47e01

“Yeo Eunho, where are my sweatpants?” Dohyeon called out as he came out of the bedroom. d0c946111c47fa81

Eunho looked up from the phone to glare at Cha Dohyeon’s mocking tone. His tall frame leaned against the doorframe, standing on one leg. There was a playful glint in his eyes as he looked down. 7c13b6c6f8c44aba

177cm wasn’t short, but it also wasn’t tall enough to be dismissed like that. He was only 3cm away from 180cm, and still had potential to grow more as a teenager. Plus, he was considered quite tall in his class. 7b9a92c3ad75cbca

Eunho felt a flash of anger as all the thoughts that came to mind felt like excuses. Cha Dohyeon, who had already reached 185cm by middle school graduation, couldn’t understand how guys like him felt. 029e3feb41e0e1b8

Eunho threw the cushion he’d been leaning on, but Dohyeon easily caught it and shrugged. He really had a talent for pissing people off. 8afa0472e739bebd

Eunho turned on 6eb65b42de his side and 692890813a tapped the screen a97304c34d again. Without the cushion, his 015438aca7 raised arm felt uncomfortable ced3ec5815 as he aligned his 1ecfe446be gaze. Thinking of Cha Dohyeon, 298e6fe4a4 Eunho furiously tapped the 1cef6c81f6 slowly filling loading bar. e44be2348ad34f3a

Soon the main screen appeared with the most basic cookie character in the center. It was a low-level character with poor stats that he’d only used when he was broke, but seeing it again after a long time, its plain appearance was quite cute. e75c64db53f11886

After claiming all the fc6c64e89b comeback gifts, Eunho entered b9eb22686f the item inventory and 1300c38e1e noticed a full mailbox 37c025b3cf icon in the upper c41692494d right corner. He tapped the 98bcc1e12d blinking letter shape. 3a0a5810113a47c3

That annoying bastard had a lot of friends. If they spent just a little time with him, they’d realize the huge gap between his decent-looking exterior and his actual personality. 45184e5a0eeafcf4

It seemed there were quite a few people fooled by Cha Dohyeon’s sleek appearance and seemingly kind first impression. Eunho inwardly expressed his regret, clicking his tongue. 69b324aeb63cfcd8

Letting so many hearts go to waste was disrespectful to the people who had sent messages. Eunho checked Cha Dohyeon’s level, which was still stuck on the beginner island, and pressed the start button. He figured he might as well level up Cha Dohyeon’s account after all this time. e3fd2a4fb09a8820

As the naked 25e8fd228a cookie ran forward 1b5110bf9c alone without any 1d8c7de124 friends, Dohyeon came fb8d2abfc4 out after changing c3bf276be8 clothes and naturally 1769d0c924 opened the refrigerator.

Dohyeon glanced at 1335b02ba5 Eunho lying in 3080454bd3 the living room, 64cad04429 then took out 7b092e8bb4 a 2-liter bottle bfad73827b of water without f6ed51ee15 asking further.

The plain bald cookie d1e06a9e3d moved a bit sluggishly, 4bd82e72d2 and it was frustrating 492b52fef2 not having any pets d275a2ae85 or upgraded items, requiring db3bd1684e caution each time. But since he had f13a6a5e35 accumulated hearts and time, ad5379810c he felt relaxed.

As the cookie with a red ribbon around its neck was about to lightly jump over an obstacle, Eunho felt a cool sensation on his ankle. Dohyeon had lifted Eunho’s ankle and sat down in the empty space. ac18e682c20c47c2

It seemed like an odd position for two grown men, but Eunho didn’t voice that thought. He wondered if Dohyeon’s increased skinship lately was due to his parents’ death anniversary approaching. c18ce243f446f55c

No matter how mature and calm Cha Dohyeon seemed, he was still only 19 years old. Even if he was close to Eunho’s family, he couldn’t feel the stability that real family provides. f67f65b4a81810df

Moreover, his only 276c0ebf36 sister often traveled 0faa3bcb10 abroad for business, b94ce692da so Dohyeon spent fda2dd5d72 most of his f52eea2edb time alone. 9d033a2a77e6dfdf

Thinking of Dohyeon’s parents who died in an accident left a bitter taste in Eunho’s mouth. It had already been 2 years, during their first year of high school, since the kind couple passed away in a car crash. a86f0072796ea126

At the time, Dohyeon, who was in the same class as Eunho, was called to the teachers’ office during class. He returned with a pale face, hurriedly packed his bag and left. 38fc07c9dedd73e8

By the time the news finally reached Eunho, and he raced to the hospital during his break, he found Dohyeon standing in the hallway, his face like carved stone as he held his sister. It had been a massive pile-up on the highway, happening while Dohyeon’s parents were away celebrating their wedding anniversary. They passed away instantly at the scene. 843d52ea8ddd9bd4

Dohyeon didn’t stay sad for long and quickly regained his spirits. Since Dohyeon’s sister ran a fairly large company, there were no financial issues either. Though things could never be the same, Dohyeon slowly reclaimed his daily life. e3ede1f2cb72dcd2

During that period, Eunho also treated Dohyeon with a gentler attitude. It wasn’t out of sympathy. He just realized that even the capable, mature Dohyeon was just a kid like himself. But people don’t change easily, as evidenced by Eunho’s personality returning after a few months. Humans truly are fickle creatures. 58eee6f6af59c7f6

Just then, the words “Game Over” appeared over the crying cookie on the screen. Eunho turned off the display. 616352c127c5ed73

Thinking about that time suddenly made him lose interest in playing. Plus, Dohyeon’s thigh under his calf was firm and high, making it very uncomfortable. Whether aware of Eunho’s feelings or not, Dohyeon just kept slowly turning the pages of his book. e1e88f57f90a202b

Eunho placed Dohyeon’s phone on the table and picked up the remote to turn on the TV. The room was instantly filled with the sound of laughter. He didn’t have any particular show he wanted to watch, but nothing caught his interest either, so he just kept pressing the channel button. f0115fe26b441673

Eunho stopped on c60bdd8b77 the channel showing 204dd21f3f the most popular 3082bb887c drama these days 1f08a5597f as he watched 805dafd62a the scenes change 4133c812b6 without much interest. Two people, 4f1255be75 a man e47bdcbe8b and woman, eec4c38990 were creating 46ab75e7d2 a suggestive 08a03fe570 atmosphere as 2c39c39fda they lay 3b9af17260 on a 10a76b8c44 bed. 338052fdf3cfe2d0

The woman in 2cf3c2fe8a a sharply tailored 8034769ff5 suit climbed on 8fabb75294 top of the 3fb50159b0 man. As she pushed the 180b1e8550 seated man backwards and bf7bb81c32 kissed him, tense background 71c5f1fd52 music began to play. 574a001d5c582b5b

The music faded as the scene continued with the woman unbuttoning the man’s shirt. The rustling of fabric and wet sounds of kissing filled the silence. 00db4ad273de1c25

Eunho glanced sideways at 1271b2ddd2 Dohyeon. He felt like 2bcb055db4 the sound of fca7a7682a his own swallowing 723569367a seemed louder than c54a816ff5 usual. 5ee72246161d5c8f

Cha Dohyeon was reading a book with an indifferent expression, as if uninterested in the suggestive scene between the man and woman on TV. Whether it was because Dohyeon’s hands were colder than average or because Eunho’s body temperature had risen from briefly watching the sensual scene, the hand resting on his calf suddenly felt foreign. 84d5db843d8a22cd

The atmosphere 364c70a6df intensified as def05ae13a the nearly eac16f1701 shirtless man 267d396d8c switched positions 17242202a7 with the 0ecc439fcc woman who cac4f3debd had been cd9e2d88de on top.

Eunho felt a sense of self-loathing as he spouted the kind of talk that would normally come from guys like Kim Gunwoo. But he realized he’d never heard Dohyeon talk about relationships before. bb3ff831836fcc96

It’s not like he’d never had a girlfriend before. The problem was that he always got dumped before things progressed, for being too prickly and indifferent. 4c6f5d10ad67c674

He usually a66b3ee1f7 tuned out 993a9bc7c7 when guys 7272629a68 like Kim 51200ad4cb Gunwoo or 8e5e061a4f Seo Jaewon 90db789029 talked about 29e16782fc this stuff, 25bcbfcd13 but hearing 19cb50050b it from 529a1e3a11 Cha Dohyeon c5ecbfc3fa made him 749afac172 badly curious. f21e4982b8f7bd06

“If you’re so curious, why don’t you try it yourself?” 6c6be6b57da21a17

Eunho turned to dfbd7bb0fd look at Dohyeon, 472dc0f2af who had a 4672576a4b strange tone. He was 0f6b5b1a32 smiling with 90324f8feb his eyes e2cbf22068 still fixed 6e509b62bb on the 79ff6c29ac book, which 32bf239130 was annoying 22b9b981f1 as usual. 5c8bf729bba8c93c

After tossing out that irresponsible comment, Dohyeon leaned forward to reach for his phone on the table. This caused Dohyeon’s stomach to press against Eunho’s calf. His whole body seemed to be solid muscle – every part that made contact felt firm. 2b1ca2905ed56aa5

Dohyeon snickered 6c81b8dbfb mockingly, but 234370cd5e Eunho had 538669bb9d no retort. What an 82b8f139c8 annoying bastard. Eunho grumbled quietly. ee02c98da1ee92d4

The sensual scene b8334754f9 must have ended, 8b8cf3a331 as the screen 8f1543f5c7 now showed office d239bb0e4b workers. Eunho glanced sideways 902ced6f1e at Cha Dohyeon, 1e5647634a who was fiddling f431c88b49 with his phone 680fe44ce0 and giving half-hearted 610acc5287 responses. It seemed d2209f3a1d he had c301b6ea80 no intention e9d943fd96 of actually e62cd8de6b answering anything. ccb24714de848936

Pouting his lips, Eunho lay still watching the actors having a serious conversation amongst themselves, then used the remote to change the channel. Scenes flashed by in quick cuts – a news anchor with a grave expression, people sitting in a circle laughing and chatting, appetizing food on a home shopping channel. 8181600e6f046b7e

There really wasn’t much worth watching on Sunday mornings. Eunho turn off the TV . The house fell into silence. dea79259a7d349c1

The sun had 40b20b234d moved at some 819ae82ec1 point, casting long 379a59d3bc shadows into the 034c963e70 living room. It was a edea0074ae lazy, boring weekend. 65089d82528a5ebe

Eunho put down the remote and stretched out his arms and legs while still lying down. Dohyeon’s thigh was firmly pressed underneath. 4b59a52dde0547b0

‘He doesn’t seem to work out much these days. I guess muscles don’t disappear easily once you build them? Maybe I should exercise too.’ 3d5349352a98bf37

As Eunho 3072a6729c was lost c8072f94b4 in idle ccd694bc87 thoughts, Dohyeon a9ce1dfbf9 suddenly pushed 37726f0824 his legs 16a249f661 aside and e0028f3d23 stood up. He headed straight for a1fb6b7dee the kitchen, which seemed f6d91be5df rather suspicious. 1d8aa4978b088358

“Hey, what’s the deal? Protesting that I’m heavy?” 217f9bdbab8dab79

Eunho grumbled at the back of Dohyeon’s head. a96a70a75d3e6484

“Stop talking nonsense and let’s eat lunch. Want some ramen?” f12205e9e914d03a

Dohyeon bent down 11ddd8d5f2 to rummage through 8df283f38b the lower kitchen 145c36d1d0 cabinets. His voice sounded 439c6c9bdc normal, so Eunho 7393527306 tilted his head 25cc8867de back again and 8f93365e83 relaxed. a408bfb0f161ada9

Feeling around 495020ffc1 the sofa d9d19c3582 headrest, his 06c10d9d6d hand found 67b146614b the small bf3d811b37 air conditioner b57b96bec3 remote. He turned it 9db351dd7f on ,the hum 793a9f6294 filled the room. 873bc706103cabfe

“Fine by me.” 75dc91d54de4da35

Muttering that someone who can’t even cook shouldn’t be offering ramen, Eunho reached for his phone to open a delivery app. But he couldn’t quite reach the middle of the table. His feet wouldn’t reach either, and it was too bothersome to lift his waist. 414f81ff9c73f430

After flailing his hand 8808ee8e27 a few times, Eunho 47f73b65de gave up and decided 95666b194b to just wait for d669cb0d52 Cha Dohyeon to return. As he ba158ca25e stared blankly 97eb5946a1 at the 2b8d6bde50 ceiling, the 7bc466b2aa sunlight falling 5bd2b2d17d on the 947b31a1c4 sofa made c051b3b7d5 his legs 9baac021fa feel ticklish. A peaceful atmosphere b0e23d6104 permeated the house. Eunho wanted e15d7439bc to take d072764fdb a quick 5b8bcbf4de nap. cb531ce10d2e10c1

Dohyeon seemed to 8fde10c15c be clattering around bb495e2007 in the kitchen 6f62a00904 before heading into 8b971944b6 the bathroom. The sound of running 508ec76fbd water leaked faintly through 7525c58786 the closed door. He must 1f0fb27755 be washing b7365df8ca up, as fb392f36ab the sound 06a1bb16cb continued for 128db0fbd4 quite a cb75cf54d3 while. 24823bf6f33e5304

Eunho lay sprawled on b95f843d26 the sofa with his 80ed701ef7 arms raised, eyes closed. The soft 8d95c5b104 hum of 15f83d3e9b the nearby 35707a27f0 air conditioner 406ae3b3ac blended with ad06ecd1ce the distant 4dde2adc5c sound of 8339f34679 running water 62dacae2df like white d065bb4b1a noise. fedb858aacab03f0

‘I should tell Cha Dohyeon to order the chicken. That picky eater will probably want to get plain fried chicken again… If he says boneless, I really ought to… Wait, what’s taking him so long in there anyway…’ bbc748d90ab78b1e

His consciousness gradually 0f99fd2248 faded under the 64221b56de lazy summer sunlight. Eunho drifted off 322782199b into a light 1f2ec1f745 sleep. The continuous sound a44ae8a901 of water from 0fad01cec2 the bathroom grew ab527a9b97 distant before abruptly 2acf4a660d cutting off. f0ccd8684afa3a6a
