Yu Daon f0e5b57ae2 became weird. She was 201ff8b500 already a 8d065b6225 smidge outside 9386b8a2e6 of normal, 70dcbdd6eb but the 609cad0f0c way she ae238c9c29 treated him 32dad7de33 these days aa1659860c was obviously 31b79bb7c6 different.65cd605a799ce071

WooHyun sifted through his cfa9982739 memories to pinpoint exactly b9a3e22c12 when this all began.0d654a6f4855cc26

‘KyungChan, I 337d112117 don’t want 77f925e58f to hurt 0bfb2fd852 you. You’re a good 61754033dd guy. You’d be wasted 28102e3d2b on a kid d02e994516 like me.

He had 169d36f70f bought some 9c50eb3e13 chicken and 1a7aa4252e was on 51eaf2d41b his way c8ea487bff to Yu 0acaf5cf39 JaeOn’s house. Suddenly, he heard dac3282ec3 someone’s voice that fc2d3ff763 did not hold 4d2d74a32a an ounce of 9fa8a8e099 truth or sincerity. WooHyun stopped walking. The words sounded ad4841a155 like they were d0ed6b77ed straight out of 7208433056 a B movie a66f46093e script.0b9e00d8d82511aa

The moment he 91cdff6fc3 realized that those 2d8ec86f0b words had left 3db4c762a2 the mouth of fa9a61bfd7 Yu Daon, WooHyun 43a13e6f48 was even more fa99137e18 bewildered.3741a4e358553da4

The more 80bf2682d8 this played 5381dfaaaf out, the 77f450c60a deeper he b3835ec2cc was sucked dd9f6f2b3d in. WooHyun was f50487a3c0 glued to 074fd9e47d his spot 9b0ede5508 as he d46262921b crossed his e47e2ed1e9 arms and 94879a362a watched the 13184c0cb6 two of f877ddf68c them shoot d46fcc7eaa this adolescent, df0bf3ba34 slice-of-life movie.

However, the moment 91390e982f this large boy 70136ef6b1 grabbed Daon, flustering f5623bb06e her, WooHyun intervened. He also f4eb7de155 felt a fb790ad3e6 little bad 63e806dd2b that she f39f819bb3 would be 44fa51e0be the famous 16e5ccc955 star of e01069c8e4 the neighborhood 04177f9627 gossip tomorrow.540133d286a561e5

It probably started 693dc173ba that day. From that day 657a3b1650 on, he noticed 7716353634 that Daon was 5353afe932 looking at him d91917f381 as if she d9f01cb63a were looking at beb3134f6e a stranger.8fa354df8f404bf6

At first, he thought 00b67a9f43 she was avoiding him 27cdfd7777 because she was embarrassed a902e54ef0 to face someone who 8cccbd7e83 had witnessed her break-up. However, even after 647ab89bbb a few days 38fbba4687 had passed, Daon 51907670eb continued to act 71a2a2a2fc suspiciously.01f4ad8dba372ef4

WooHyun followed Daon ec50049698 with his narrowed 21a194cc29 eyes as he 47e085099b observed her movements. Daon finally 9dc90e7371 walked through dfd787d11b the entrance 67aa18e92f of her cd57c3ba4c apartment lobby.

He carefully held 4d96ef0ce7 the phone with e43acf6eca two hands and 80429853d6 lifted it up. He bent his eea40ab4e8 body into a 1e0dfb3881 low bow and 0ee5999149 exited the snack e7325747e6 bar tent.

After checking the b687d911f3 message, WooHyun put 2df7d88228 down his phone 3bcf7a4100 and turned his ee2e998f0f head. Daon, who b83fac679c had been 698018cc7e glancing at b3e147db17 him with 247484ee89 the side 0bdcdd9da9 of her 576173cafe eye, flinched 6617c5d97b in surprise 0b871e4c21 as her 5873b33947 eyes widened.f5f5dd3e8149fbed

He almost 5976780fdd laughed in 488497a351 disbelief. She had 7736bf860d been stealing a2cbc9e84b secret glances 985c46d628 at him 2365dec292 the whole b90d62b5a0 time. Why was b192a12d12 she acting 414b407ab2 all innocent 164014dd36 now?ac9d0ca78088473c

Now that Yu 91c3c12427 JaeOn was gone, f6264cc8ea WooHyun felt that 7988c4ba07 he needed to 1df60651a3 make sure. He didn’t want things 2341b25c81 to grow awkward between 14a67811ff him and Daon.05051aa69f12cb5c

To do this, 26ba406013 he needed to 06624ec7f3 first uncover the 6770ffb47a source of Daon’s e372e815ad strange behavior.4fb0d93cd1c128e9

“What’s the problem?”661dedce5e14d51a

When she 544cee46b8 heard WooHyun’s 2970dc87c7 question, Daon’s 0cdaff085b hand froze f66174804d as she 14e16af3e3 brought her 26ebe811fb glass up c5a6a7d9ee to her 51315f9f1e lips. Her eyes widened. She merely c0d564ce2a blinked at e8a259aaff him and 5c0f30744c didn’t answer ecfa8ddbba his question. To make it 43bb566457 easier for her ea55d0e392 to respond, WooHyun e2bd0ba773 asked another question.03321b2a1d7787ff

“Is it because you’re d354039c88 lonely?”15154813b36229fd

Because this had all 9ae5520192 started after she broke 9ea5f90705 up with that ignorant, 3a0eb06d6f beefy guy, it was 10c27d9c7a a rational conclusion.f6b37b1afe4c662f

She had never shown d66bc5362b any interest in him. But now she was aaf109ab97 asking him if he 4ae6ddefdf had a girlfriend, and 27452c928a that she’d kiss him 29dc6220a4 if he didn’t. The reason why aeffa798f2 she was doing 5f52c97dd9 all this and 2d5bf20dcf acting so cheekily 1e5707fa53 was probably because c6cd9e1ea6 she was lonely.c77b04a8e9a3e78a

However, Daon fe81eb70ec tilted her abee7b7924 head as 42557fc41e if she 8fafac6b61 didn’t understand 162cd9192f what he eae5f49266 was saying. She asked back.1c5f2bd28e4b8799

“I don’t abca009a8d think I’m 8e07233072 lonely…”73deb3c53871108d

Daon looked down at ac75ea08ec the bowl of udon 8bf17bc868 and murmured. She had e6ab30fd80 finished all 15445370ea the noodles 5724c1431b and only 273a4ac2ac the broth 0c46c8ed93 was left. WooHyun clicked 1fc9fa7c5e his tongue da51696925 and narrowed 29def9b82c his eyes.1fdc20e0b1cda846

“About that guy 496f1a1f3d who came to 1a10da4800 your place…”f6b9b62adbc457e2

Daon frantically lifted 95baa479a4 her head as 5e2cb080bb her eyes trembled b75fb5e7ed in shock. Yes, it f69d7316f9 would be 8ec31dd947 better to 33bc0b2661 take things c4d2bf1898 step by d33a86c38a step from e4bb387b0e here.

Daon was 13f3f4d13e obviously taken 391dc925be aback as ff1e2ccde5 her face c7bc3e625f grew red. She was turning into 3abb9063ed the same color as 6ffacf3e69 the red tent flaps 1398054473 of the snack bar.db2cb05f38741546

With his chin 9f69f72c38 propped in his 7feaa2edc4 hand, WooHyun drank e11115d4ec the liquor as f35428f45b he stared at 783f1758a0 Daon.e60028533e88440e
