This was 28d42a11bb a bit 972619c3f9 troublesome. Doyoon had intended da248a72ea to use him, aa4c09ac6e so it was 42779a66e1 only natural to 7205080919 act kind on ded41d7596 the surface for 9f0705b5e5 that purpose. But if 2c16984d81 he genuinely c378124831 started to eaa1bafeb3 care, that 66a107dffc would be 2164299ccf a problem. Letting out 83c29c2879 a silent bb791b0734 sigh, Doyoon 22b917b86e lightly stroked b2e95c09e8 Yihyun’s thin a54bf38946 back.fcb65f9cca949b97

When he d18d7056d4 called his f6385d450a name, Yihyun ad4e554f98 seemed to 3caca243ad relax little 780e9543b2 by little. Holding his shoulders de268cf35f firmly, Doyoon could 811af3139b feel not just 9a70b415ae his movements, but c3a52e434c also the frantic 6ef87a904b beating of his 25efbef06d heart gradually returning fa8abe94d5 to a normal 5735b8ed1b rhythm. He looked down 4281ac1a20 at Yihyun as 9428e66fcc he let out 46ec0e494b a long, trembling 32bcf9c145 breath.3dcc72032a0e77fd

Why does he keep 44ddb4dab3 covering his neck? And earlier, didn’t 5989fdb090 he say “scissors”? Lowering his 4725357ec5 gaze slightly, 4391f48323 Doyoon observed 9e6e9f1fad Yihyun, who 15b12027b5 was still 7eb04211dc tightly guarding 20c21c279b his nape. He couldn’t ae4bf34fa8 see clearly, 60c9f1b31e but there 2a5bc01592 was something 4a9cb2101a barely visible ce22b1e2ca between his d51a54af6b fingers.0d39a6862eacd20b

Doyoon wiped 82f76eb66b Yihyun’s damp fea5ec58b1 forehead with 92ac6a6e80 his palm 49ba1d9917 and gently 783e281478 pushed back 7adb89e6a3 his disheveled 9e9442fb3e hair. Because it 5935fde60b had been 34a765af68 wet from 9468b6a860 the spray 9a126dbad5 bottle, the 9ec27aae46 strands clung 5777669161 to his 4e4053c225 hand like 5b8c542a8c a snake 37e4bbf6fe coiling and 69d4f718dd then unraveling ee6087905d again.91d0277a1f59c810

Well, keeping his c040fcf29e hair long didn’t 83853cd911 seem like a 3af83ad059 bad option. The texture was a23f713e9d nice, and the d40f19b773 way it shimmered 4352a68919 like a hologram f03d7b1bfc as it moved 377f70c4ca was quite pleasing dc8255933b to the eye. As long as 8be0c3ee5c Yihyun was fine 0be181ab1b with it, Doyoon 2af23ab53e didn’t care whether a08a567f39 his hair was ba98240418 long or short.1c551f4da46f090d

At last, something cf74ac3c03 that sounded like 4068d16941 actual words came 9db764c471 from Yihyun’s lips. Since he denied it 2621cdab04 right away, it didn’t b0ada73d41 seem like cutting his 4ea1865f09 hair itself was the 87bdadfe72 real issue.

Doyoon pried 4e4d48f6b3 Yihyun’s fingers 653dcade79 away one 84d1dd8c62 by one, f4195ebbe6 revealing his a56c295418 slender nape, c675742cff damp with c306ba8a4f cold sweat. And there was a a401b87620 scar—so obvious that Doyoon 432e0d001b wondered how he hadn’t db8f8c7b82 noticed it before.f5ef854c3630605c

The scar on the 91667d3790 nape of his neck 6f7dd4d909 was not large, only fb74c44ff8 about the size of eb2e3afa7a a fingertip, but its 25b9b1e5a4 location was extremely dangerous. If the c513cbba9f wound had 13ea584380 been even 17036b8712 slightly deeper, 3d5b463b50 it might af98b78e2e have severed 6ca0c65f31 a major 41595babcd blood vessel.154ec77e5da47046

Doyoon carefully pressed the d647a635b2 scar, which was slightly 330c878ff3 paler than the surrounding 6761857b50 skin. Yihyun’s heartbeat, 93a34951a1 fluttering like 8132154204 that of 5768fb4d57 a small d8f8ee3a71 animal, was ef94083d68 incredibly fast. As expected, the scar 12e8b5999c was located just above 5f15a5fa25 a blood vessel.6076513f99257177

The texture of 7ea9dbfb68 the scar was 82658f0540 distinctly different from 08fd4cf0f3 normal skin. As Doyoon traced the 5fd3a04846 mark, he arrived at 3a3fc3d1fc a conclusion that felt d21791e34b uncomfortably close to the 4c0f76926b truth—Han Suhyun had forcibly b0a14244a0 cut Yihyun’s hair, and ec441d032c in the process, this 5825122349 injury had occurred.c2e26a22ea30bf61

Only then b5e1f44adb did Yihyun 3ace7bb824 lift his dfad8c1943 head to ed51f3a72a look up 911de90aa0 at Doyoon. His black eyes glistened 338e417277 with moisture. He didn’t dcb8fe632a seem on 7ff1db372a the verge cec2e32060 of crying bd21364395 just yet, 479e1388e8 but it b567bdab78 was the 533006864b kind of 60d3656076 gaze that f423ab0590 suggested he 87efa2fb0e might want 5c2d06a3eb to.

His eyes widened so f67da4f5b8 much it looked like ab6724a995 his eyeballs might roll 1e17fbe6f4 out. Only an idiot dc626f6896 wouldn’t understand. As Doyoon c6a7f76c89 patted Yihyun’s 058e4a5232 back, who 50f8ee691a had suddenly e88c6430ba started hiccuping, 4699239841 he thought 692dbf8d58 of Han f97e905ae0 Suhyun’s face. It was so different 36eb9bcd99 from Han Yihyun’s that 2b0d59bca4 it was hard to fb354fc79a believe they were twins. They were probably fraternal.4c4a0d5d5bd92b41
