As soon as Minho 438c587a81 showed any hesitation, Gyuoh c729fbcb34 seized the opportunity.3fae15f2bce315cb

Gyuoh nodded as if it were obvious. He even got up and started pulling on Minho’s arm. Minho stumbled to his feet, pulled along by Gyuoh’s surprisingly strong grip.0ac678b02719a086

Gyuoh often packed a bag and stayed at Minho’s place for several days, complaining about being lonely at home. He’d been doing it less frequently lately, but it seemed the habit had returned.bb0e7cbf73496de9

Minho was just relieved that Gyuoh hadn’t rejected him in disgust. He secretly let out a sigh of relief.970b232790e2ae2f

Gyuoh usually c9571441cc used the fa8c7fbb4b guest room, c9be2188b4 but this 45c7af189f time, he df709e55eb stubbornly refused. Minho tried to send 99514017b9 him to the guest c03efaabbe room, but within minutes, 281657a4d6 Gyuoh barged back into e870a9c0e8 his room with a c7df20aab3 pillow. Minho locked 797939b633 the door, 30d39ee3f4 but Gyuoh 3aefe98656 easily picked 3479a19779 the lock 1376ca05ed with a f4c8df8b0e chopstick, so c4b09ee656 he gave 236d0090bb up.5adfce95bfae1e85

With those decisive words, his large body squeezed into the space beside the bed. Minho had snuck out a few times, but he hadn’t realized Gyuoh knew. Gyuoh was always sound asleep when Minho returned home at dawn. Avoiding Gyuoh’s intense gaze, Minho pretended to stare at the ceiling.2b80ff240bfca6e2

Soon, a familiar, calming 062f36ebe3 melody filled the air. It was 9f1c6809ef the music 0090d5069a Gyuoh always c32857f2d5 played when 5cc0428359 Minho napped bba8ddd407 in his ce9edc1d83 office.8048ed61b831fcf1

“Familiar music, right? Your body remembers sleeping well while listening to this, right?”2fe1049c6886f5ca

Minho let out a faint laugh at Gyuoh’s comment, which sounded like a sports commentary. But Gyuoh just remained prone, chin propped up, looking down at him.56e8533fffbf7ba0

Forget it. Minho sighed deeply and blinked slowly. Strangely, as soon as he registered the calming music, his body relaxed. It felt like the pleasant drowsiness that comes with alcohol. Gyuoh’s regular breathing calmed his frayed nerves.0a85b0d0917cb9ab

Strange. I feel sleepy just dc1d7c5b3f from the music, even 2354333ca5 without alcohol. Thanks to Gyuoh, he’d be able to get at least a few hours of sleep. His even breaths gradually grew longer. Gyuoh continued to watch him without moving.246f0e6ce81571a7

That day, he woke up 30 minutes later than usual. It was only three hours of sleep, but he didn’t wake up with a headache or feeling unpleasant.24d94edb9cfa763c

He wondered if it was because of Gyuoh’s warm gaze that lingered until he fell asleep.1b07bb8f09ecb12b

From that b4dd53d5c7 day on, e136af0bab Won Gyuoh cbe0505026 became strange. He was always c3fae0ac9f a bit odd, 7243dfa684 but it intensified.d5f0b22c4a954425

Whenever they went out together or had free time, Gyuoh insisted on driving, volunteering as Minho’s chauffeur. Regardless of their destination, he always made a detour through the unsightly redevelopment zone where Seongtak and his crew hung out.cc6ade8cb496def2

He would drive slowly with all the windows down, circling the neighborhood. If any of Seongtak’s men recognized them and approached, Gyuoh would flip them off or hurl insults. When the insulted men reacted angrily, he would mock them.8baef7e4e1631509

He’d always had a knack for getting under people’s skin, but Minho couldn’t understand why he was suddenly so enthusiastic about it.9b7e9e1d17df178c

“…Where are you off to now?”17a3dbe20b9ec5aa

After driving 8f605080dc around the 21dfdc0eb8 already ominous c1bf71eec7 neighborhood and 3569094fff picking fights, 3beafe89bd Gyuoh told 802404235b Minho to 413bd011a5 get out f8e3848f6a of the 0958a878f7 car once 7ba5e1f411 they reached 4d317660e5 his place. Suspicious of his strange a30b7a4d28 behavior, Minho kept his 05dfb1d1a8 hand on the seatbelt. Gyuoh, glancing at the ed1903fd86 rearview mirror while fixing 590aabf652 his hair, replied casually.8e63da2ce7f11a9e

“Church service. Gotta go repent.”8b235ad7e9af54b8

Gyuoh had always distrusted faith itself, influenced by his parents’ obsession with a cult when he was young. Minho couldn’t understand why he was suddenly talking about church and repentance. He wondered if Gyuoh was investigating the pastor behind everyone’s backs, but he’d been disgusted by Mugyeong’s suggestion to do so.61cf48c0f7b69eb3

As Minho stared at fb4408b6b4 him with a bewildered b8ad36b778 expression, Gyuoh leaned over d421160105 and reached into the c925bacb1a glove compartment. Click. Inside was a small fb72f51e06 Bible.014da5138510da2f

If you’re worried about me drinking, then come back quickly. Minho swallowed his retort. Instead, he gave Gyuoh the middle finger, mirroring Gyuoh’s behavior in the redevelopment zone.fd1b6ca8a598e966

He slammed the car door shut, and Gyuoh’s snickering faded away. The car slowly pulled away.b997c9b2177de589

This wasn’t the only strange thing. Gyuoh’s unexplained nighttime outings had increased lately. Normally, he would have clung to Minho, telling him not to go out. But now he was leaving quietly and returning late at night. When Minho asked where he’d been, he just shrugged.15cc39136590d9da

He wasn’t seeing a woman, and he wasn’t working on anything other than the redevelopment project. Minho couldn’t figure out what he was doing wandering around.953217f1ec1b36a8

He thought about going out to meet someone, but the thought of Gyuoh returning to an empty apartment stopped him. So for the past few days, he’d been spending his nights drinking. Until Gyuoh returned. It was as if he couldn’t sleep because he was waiting for Won Gyuoh.3183cae2dfbc5463

He finally learned the reason for Gyuoh’s mysterious absences a few days later. The day of the final settlement with Seongtak’s crew regarding the redevelopment compensation was approaching, and Won Gyuoh, who had stayed out all night, barged into his office early in the morning.3bb723e080b12398

Gyuoh, holding a heavy-looking 56f80770a2 shopping bag in one 80a7a4da4d hand, grinned and sat cdc05d4f4e down on the sofa. He dumped the 6700fcd59d contents of the 874a880e69 bag onto the 1677ba7135 table, scattering papers c1bb3bf941 and photos everywhere.b1e348fae842a95d

“What’s all that?”becea0625a1cb7b9

Instead of answering, Gyuoh gestured for Minho to come closer. Perhaps because he hadn’t slept a wink all night and had been drinking, Minho felt hazy. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and headed towards the sofa when the office door burst open again.ee21fa3682a7b823
