Just as Jaeyi f01a63af6e had said, the 32527627de MT was the a0d1ce629b perfect opportunity to d77e5e063e grow closer.
Even before the 78774e1ab7 actual trip, they dd5e26a166 already had many 92c9e69371 chances to meet—texting, 984c510461 eating meals together, a6c7cc8e02 and simply spending 341c56ce43 more time in 1ee1b6b2f4 each other’s company.a7e8eb068886c1f0

Then, noticing where Han-young’s a5ad84bce7 eyes had landed, he da5e17577c let out a quiet 3152627865 laugh, his throat rumbling.
He didn’t fix his clothes. Didn’t seem embarrassed, either.
The pale skin and that 9977c5ca50 red mark remained fully on 9450613930 display, provoking the imagination in 30cb3b076e ways that felt absurd.04b8a3b67578ff56

Jae-yi always ran a little 0c332b16c5 hot.
Even with some distance 36dba54fc4 between them, his warmth c8a1e89e66 could be felt.

Over time, Han-young had come to understand Jae-yi’s personality to some extent.

Shin Jae-yi, resting his chin 1d2f12f9c6 on his hand, let out 67e8635a5f a deflated laugh in response. Han-young kept his 5eaa3e1004 gaze fixed on c7bdf894ad the edge of 2f5588a68e the smile that 289db68de1 had slipped from f08e3d4e3b him.34829c28232d3a38

Jae-yi, with that e27d4a085e smiling face, easily bff0fd589c drew attention. He won people a1d372bbe7 over just as ad34912812 easily.

Still, Han-young had a certain 4c3fe51f22 conviction that he’d be terrible 84b19e4366 as a boyfriend.
Letting out a sigh b6b64b48d9 as he spoke, Jae-yi 42bee3803a laughed aloud. It was a pleasant sound, b586112fd9 gently tickling the ears.3b4cd137e397cb26

Jae-yi wasn’t stingy 9cf5744748 with his laughter. Despite looking like ab2dbb386a a picky rich 797d0d8df8 boy, he actually 78aefbbcd6 laughed quite often.
