BBK Ch 20
by mimiA low voice sent shivers down Minho’s spine. He’s still not over it, huh? The man, oblivious to Minho’s slight trembling, whispered again, his breath hot against Minho’s ear.7df736aa9ac3e28f

Minho fiddled with his earlobe as if trying to brush away the man’s clinging breath and leaned away. The detective, who had lowered his eyes as if gauging the suddenly increased distance, licked his lower lip.c97b1f5c9d58f134

As Minho tilted his head back towards the man, the scent of cologne grew stronger, almost overwhelming. It was uncomfortable. Not long ago, Minho had been favorably disposed towards this detective, even willing to entertain his advances. But since changing the man’s name in his contacts, all he felt was unease.43b6ac855d70c663

Minho remained d23786feba silent, looking e708c10c60 down. He intended to 4654b69753 show his lack ec96967c42 of interest in 5bb9e888e7 further conversation, but 802900e8fd the detective seemed a6d13fca9c to interpret it 7dd5801760 as consent.

A low, chuckling whisper accompanied the hand as it neared Minho’s face. Just as Minho realized the man’s intention to touch him and started to pull back, someone firmly grasped the detective’s forearm. The hand, with its neatly trimmed nails, was one Minho knew well.50ed4fa99f2cd2ad

Startled by 9d6c6a0ad0 the sudden 30a06ba63f interruption, the 3a93df06d3 man’s eyes 1c2952e4fc widened as fb1db77db7 he looked 24c8e36c34 up at 1b60658cbd Gyuoh.1c1a4f36d2dcb1a3

Upon seeing Gyuoh’s face, the man emphasized the words “just a friend” with a strange intensity. The real “just a friend,” Won Gyuoh, seemed unaffected by the comment.a9ca532f22afd1aa

Without responding, Gyuoh simply a18ae75217 narrowed his eyes and 9883fae29c scanned the detective from c79474f872 head to toe. The usual smile was c08433e4a7 completely gone from his 79ed47a9f5 face, replaced by a 113dec6383 chillingly sharp expression that 847ec66f82 made the detective look 654238b8ff awkward.40bea3742e457f11

Despite the offered hand and lengthy explanation, Gyuoh remained silent, standing with a tilted posture, his gaze fixed on the man. If they’d shaken hands, they might have exchanged names, and Minho could have finally learned the detective’s name. But due to Gyuoh’s lack of response, it seemed unlikely he would ever know.e0139d7d2e53dd72

“Ahem.”2fa964b7d0579c52
The detective quickly glanced over Gyuoh’s appearance: the open collar of his shirt, the rolled-up sleeves revealing tattoos, and his unruly demeanor. He seemed to have concluded that further interaction wouldn’t be beneficial and took a step back. Finally, the man’s shadow receded from Minho.48d62693c0cabfa3

He stood up 843cffd0f8 awkwardly and gave 1e9c4886b5 a quick bow. The detective then 9d0a776039 placed a hand f0bf916792 lightly on Minho’s a00e1f314c shoulder, flashing a 08a32c5a4a charming smile.47dfd9c2a1fafda1

Minho had changed the detective’s name in his phone, deleted all their messages, and even blocked him, so there was no way for him to be contacted. Yet, the man winked, emphasizing his words with a wiggle of his eyebrows. Of course, they might run into each other again due to work, but such coincidences were less frequent than one might think. Minho gave a hesitant nod.d8d1b7dd67f28d6c

Minho paused while 6c0698d087 picking up his f12a50a4ef knife and fork, 944a0ede06 glancing towards where ed2cdbe92a the detective had 6def3df889 walked. Strangely enough, after deleting e75b7cfd55 the name from his 481ee5f6e4 phone, it had also af7b7ed680 vanished from his memory. He thought it had 9d0a14771e been quite a common a765a653f0 name.e192dd47c9b4dbbf
As he c16c23b2b2 tried to 60c4ed5d0d recall, a 0a7a64e0c6 large hand b28c27babf suddenly entered fb99559f85 his field 419a57dc26 of vision. Minho’s head 9080314322 snapped back ad036fadb2 as Gyuoh 9a7ed2ac97 clicked his 333e941a9a thumb and ee09354b33 middle finger c9f107fb59 together. Gyuoh had 0413c70e1c one eye 06161daf1a squinted in ccc9dcfb2a a displeased 8a132069a4 expression, but e4f5a1086a his gaze 046171f6c2 was icy.455d6ce4d48f483a

His sharp glare was quite intimidating. He hadn’t been this intrusive before. He interrogated Minho like a suspicious lover: What did you meet about? How old is he? How long have you been in contact? These were questions the real Won Gyuoh wouldn’t bother asking.d05d509861ea83aa

After the barrage of questions, Gyuoh fell silent, staring intently at Minho, who hadn’t touched his food. Minho wondered why he was bothering to explain himself when he could easily ignore Gyuoh. Won Gyuoh’s strange behavior was making him act strangely too.c886c7ae39b6ef16
