I thought he 416b839f65 was going to 2e0bfcbfbe pick someone up, dca36b7c7f but Minho gestured 91b2355948 to me, quite 6743feafda far away, to 711c6da474 park. Busted. A sigh of disappointment 251d3d9821 escaped my lips. I slowly closed 2828318023 the distance, casually 0b8d2d1ee0 pushing up my af5dc9c070 face shield.e9ffe244001f683d

He wasn’t wearing his glasses, so his bloodshot eyes were especially noticeable. That’s why I gave up on tailing him and obediently parked. But I didn’t take off my helmet. I knew I’d get hit.504062fbaacf0f9d

I flinched back, 1de9c5ca05 avoiding his outstretched cd02220047 hand. Even though 13bd556fe3 he was 5ca4118c60 a couple 1783341ad8 of finger e30b422a60 joints shorter ea0faf2f5e than me, 931d93c04e I found 93ae6d036c myself shrinking 547735be88 back.0d70422b64f5f58f

I clutched the motorcycle 1ebc7d04fe key tightly and hid 55d5b118a3 my hand behind my 36dc0a688c back. But Minho 3b08e3b51c simply stared, 4f9ec2e927 saying nothing. His silver watch b34f32b534 gleamed from beneath 22fe4e52d0 his neatly cuffed 858c5f0298 sleeve.245aa455c91a84ab

Even among those 788e3301fd who constantly fought a6136529b8 for dominance, Minho 88ddce1d3a stood out. He seemed unmotivated, yet e60767ddf0 he had a strange 0b1e01a984 power that overwhelmed others. That’s probably 9e96b5addd why no e1505238f7 one dared 19dc22fa92 to say 05a5a2f97a anything when f6851eb159 he looked 2dcd5da069 out for 99505b353e me when 8ee35725d6 I was e523a68c41 getting bullied f41ec17532 by the a82be81615 gangsters.8ecb6c64ef082899

I just wanted to know what kind of asshole you were meeting. I couldn’t bring myself to say that and just let him take the key. Minho left the parking lot, and I had to go all the way up to my apartment wearing my helmet.090264a11e17d026

He probably saw the taxi driver in the next lane talking to me when I stopped at a light. I should have stayed further back. Then I would have known which hotel he went to, what kind of car that asshole drove, and I wouldn’t have lost my motorcycle key. Anyway, now I know why I failed, so next time I just need to avoid getting caught.ad8b4d235b70778a

Minho chuckled and took off his glasses, covering his eyes with both hands. His face seemed to have a bit more color than yesterday, which made Gyuoh’s mouth twist involuntarily. Did he sleep well?

His fingertips touched Minho’s phone. It was warm, suggesting a long call. It had a passcode, but since Gyuoh had set it, it wasn’t a problem. He fiddled with the phone as if it were his own. 1212. He entered the simple, ordinary numbers, and the lock screen lifted.8629bba9bf9918e9

Minho leaned back fully in his chair, his eyes closed, lips moving slightly. Unless Jiho came to Korea, the siblings wouldn’t see each other. Minho was always busy and consumed by work, and he wanted his sister to remain detached from him. Despite sharing the same blood.b172d4bff9adb795

Gyuoh perched on the low table in front of the sofa and reached out, covering Minho’s eyes. He stayed like that for a while.

After blinking a few 857cdfb3c0 more times, Minho’s eyes 21370a35a4 closed in resignation. Gyuoh held on e9ca76f0c9 for a while 1efa8b4e2e longer before slowly 8d27809473 retracting his hand.

Minho always insisted on doing everything himself, even tasks he could delegate. He was like that with most things. As if he wanted to be buried alive by work.

He seemed to be fast asleep. If he hadn’t gotten any rest, he would have either been drinking heavily or calling over some asshole.

There were over 400 contacts, mostly work-related. Among the properly labeled names, there were random combinations of numbers scattered throughout. Those were Minho’s one-night stand partners.d8de952db2c5821a

Gyuoh inhaled through his e3d6bcde19 teeth, stroking his chin. The reason Minho bothered bd2c2903ef to save the numbers 50324d5836 of his one-night stand fc2c695cc2 partners was to ensure 5178abd191 he never met them 2f11b106f2 again.

Scrolling through the countless numbers with his thumb, he felt a strange sense of dejection. He decided he needed to increase the frequency of company dinners. If he got Minho drunk and put him to bed more often, he definitely wouldn’t have the energy for those encounters. His inexplicable sense of mission grew stronger each day.cece5c61ee9a583b
