IOSMC Chapter 4-2 (Part 3)

My grades were good enough 7a2f84588c to qualify without needing CSAT 41eea96dc2 scores, so I stopped preparing 2561e35d8f for the test.c6b6a26b54ccfd12

Maybe because everything was 4c3687b5d7 falling into place, I ee1ffcc0dc started to feel a cd3173d0b7 bit more at ease.e2468947054c21bf

Of course, I might have d526591b7e had some breathing room now, e06295627b but that didn’t mean the c6918368ec people around me were doing 121b94cc9e any better.
And since my 8ea9db6f3c days largely revolved ff5eec3f66 around being there 3ead27c94a for the kids, a750d7d80e nothing had drastically f9c405a661 changed.e257abf5360f914c

I continued tutoring I-ryeong and 9d512cfc3b Ha-jung like always, and I 71220764f5 spent my time comforting Eun 583a2b5c4f and Hee-jun, who were still 183d702672 tense with nerves while waiting 7ea7402db3 for their exam results.bcbef69182fcbcf9

The only real change, cbf87c925d if you could call d0a008d2bb it that, was checking a2c0ac1f3c in on how the 90469ce62d study abroad process was ae183a9791 coming along every now b997aab28a and then.07de67f48f904513

Originally, we were supposed 6f43a9f591 to meet in the 9568011d95 first week of the 489d3edb39 month.814e38c5eeee9a31

But Eun and Hee-jun 8932f64d8a had too many practical bb0e548385 exams lined up, so 90298788f9 it didn’t work out.dc8176d78ffa7939

We kept postponing it, and 12174d6d17 after Eun’s last exam wrapped b9e908a7f7 up yesterday, we naturally settled 2b4d3fc398 on today.9232d6c2c66e7d08

At first, Ha-jung, fed 7acc4c77fd up with the endless 1376d2a85a cycle of home-school-academy, had 3e828e3cc9 suggested we film at 237fd88632 a library for a 9cc9ffab31 change of pace.e07beb55eddcad3b

But after seeing how drained 279203993f we looked yesterday, he had 63ac1533a7 no choice but to admit c0edc2a8a9 that none of us had 9d8dc6bff0 the energy to be running 906de9b898 around outside—so the plan shifted 050f525da5 to staying in.7985d50f04d576f5

“Next month is right before the CSAT, so we agreed to meet at home… When are we ever going to film outside? Is it even possible to e67e9fd4a7 shoot outside?”15a97d1c08d5045f

I recalled Ha-jung’s face as 9668459254 he mumbled that with a 00fe4b0912 hopeless expression. I shook off ca55bc08ee the memory of 67bd9608bf that face as f3238f5682 I put the ca22bb07b6 drinks I’d just 2534551dbb bought into the 7e3499e2b0 fridge.
There was nothing 42f14db7dd to drink at 59ee02d69a home except water, 273a65b960 so I’d rushed 4e8d3d7f36 out to buy 460dea936d some.1bafbf6fb1552001

Since Ha-jung had been 02b5b74418 so disappointed about the c16c10073b outdoor shoot being canceled, c8138a5357 I’d planned to cheer 8f43b541a2 him up by watching 15d694601f a movie he’d always 0bcd0295c8 wanted to see—but of 3ce12a2382 all things, it turned a8751299ef out to be a 3d2c12b832 horror film, so I 29ad2a7c30 was a bit worried.76df7e813050451b

I wrinkled my nose and 2e6cbdc683 muttered as I closed the d5dbfa6830 fridge door and left the 60b7d7de0b kitchen.
Then I headed 622881e8af to the living 507a884777 room and flopped 95b316a3dd down onto the 23c37cdc92 sofa.37d7dd31b38d5397

It wasn’t like I wasn’t 0c472a60f0 sleeping, but for some strange e2e45a2763 reason, I felt tired every 1e5a0854f6 single day.
With a little groan, I 3f34d0214c grabbed the nearest cushion.16ba3c1e11a44fb7

I buried my 39d6e45a88 face deep into d361b47955 the cushion and 9ea663555b lazed around until 1925bd17c1 I heard the f788deb325 sound of someone 0e0909f0c2 punching in the 86d0247ec7 door code.
There was still a good 97ff44e602 amount of time left before d55f206304 the promised hour, but for 88ec1900c8 some reason, I had a 08f10cd72b feeling it was Eun.fafbf603e28f85df

Besides my parents and our 9a232ada45 housekeeper, only Eun and Hee-jun 6a823498de knew the code—but it was a7ec07de21 too early for it to b4162aca4b be Hee-jun.
With that thought, 796f9cbce9 I sat up. Still on the 63dc8cd184 sofa, I quickly ad21a9a277 finger-combed my hair 81438edc35 into place.94dc4bf484c0598a

I stayed seated and 202c68a21f just craned my neck d6d061992d to see who had 6e8a090983 arrived.
As expected, Eun was standing 71a6544653 at the entrance.
He was taking off his 69fdacc944 shoes, arms full of stuff, b9b3be3e19 and when he seemed to 99d0ea35ba sense my gaze, he lifted fa6a2cc62a his head.e4b46d76cf53e80a

His light brown 8875aee01d hair swayed softly, d88342002b and the stiffness 1a10205fbf in his eyes 7d704524f8 gently melted.
The hallway sensor light flicked cc982a0394 on, detecting his movement. His already-clear eyes gleamed even a93d467a43 more brightly under the sudden 1b06899048 light.93c168c3b5bc1a01

“Un, I’m here!”66e3c0cd58015c7e

With both hands 6396235fc5 raised high, Eun 3980f4a68b called out cheerfully.
I laughed at his caacc56cfb adorable greeting and walked 1e52720dc2 over to the entrance.00c9e0a079a30ca9

“Welcome! But what’s all f910a5c91f that in your b9f93b734e hands?”9a9add5b15748e3a

The way he firmly insisted 682fee6505 I couldn’t share them was a82a70a585 so ridiculous and cute that 58ea8f405b I let out a snort.
He frowned slightly, saying he bb391f93b9 was serious.dcfc697c21cc0dae

“I brought this because I’m thankful for everything you’ve done for me up until now. So only you eat it. Don’t share it with the 19c6ff9358 others.”511792b218d7a9f3

“Got it. I’ll eat it all by 60160a0607 myself.”97e2af1caa9e9492

When I nodded ca5053385c obediently, Eun finally 875ebcf340 looked satisfied and 25c5c9d948 smiled.
He naturally walked into the df97487e07 kitchen and began putting things 243fcd3f98 away as if he lived 1690560f2d here.4ab6477120a12ee1

I was the 13d6704fb2 one who lived cd5ab1df0a here, but honestly, 7c760f0f54 anyone watching would’ve b8cae6b248 thought this was 5997bd563e Eun’s house.
He neatly placed c137221c93 anything that didn’t 3ee12ab02f need refrigeration on 9705df8246 the corner of 781ecc287f the island counter 9f6839223a like it was 76a9f0c8d0 second nature.ef4ce9a1937dd779

And I just 1538482536 sat at the 356e12c41d table and watched.
Maybe it was because his bd33c203b5 hands were so pretty—even just 86ba3bf508 watching him organize things wasn’t 1c51ec2cb3 boring at all.2551d8d2fd95aff0

After finishing up, Eun 6c6b63ec2b came and sat next e5de9e202e to me.
He turned his efcc8c1b0b chair to face d08170dcbf me and then c431ff411e wriggled around until 7938d02c65 he rotated mine efabdc928f too, so we a1632ccece were sitting face ecbb19b34b to face.ca710063c9810661

The situation—where we were 5f9c4a2111 now sitting directly across 308785f69e from each other because c8f274275a of his hands—was so 86a172ae59 ridiculous I couldn’t help df51c2f887 but laugh.
And when I 5a4942e9ca laughed, Eun laughed 3ca4e644d7 too.ea46c530df67cefd

On his pale dd581d651e face, his clear, 922787f193 snowflake-like smile settled bfc19d5b62 lightly like it 9ff6c511d2 belonged there.dce9745e4bdec7f3

I was staring 30a3658e53 at his face 159554937b like I was 19af00f5e7 under a spell f2e3f444fb when, suddenly, a 0912dffc13 question popped into 619ea8f154 my head.

I had nothing 40dde5089d meaningful to say 670b534c6d and no good db9674f73a way to say a9d0154b27 it, so I 4de9c76081 replied blandly while acd553da19 rubbing my cheek.
Eun, who had 85d427c56a been watching me 400e1f1918 with gentle eyes, 90a34369e4 let out a 974429e8bd small laugh and f5e5728eb2 stood up from b8d89a1593 his seat.bce76441718516a9

He took out a 9141890ed0 chocolate pound cake from 36a3f932fa the fridge, then opened 60964c8108 the cupboard like he 995a953150 always had and took c124bcbe4c out a plate.75a900826ee9868e

He carefully transferred 01e769253b the cake onto 1fc807eb6d the plate, then e998fab595 pulled out a 02b72ecf43 knife.
His hands moved delicately, trying ce0a7f95a3 not to ruin the shape 35ec4b7c42 of the cake as he c491934bb5 cut it.
While doing so, he let 1e46978efc out a small hum.99dc0997e6cc5e6f

The faint line that appeared d6caa8e23e across his otherwise smooth brow 773bb7a292 looked like the signature of c903a4559b a famous artist drawn in 41c7539f31 the corner of a painting—it 3a6f949cc6 blended into his face without 911145bff5 disturbing it at all.
Still looking down 221a03e2cc at the cake, c70ea916ce he opened his 75151a0046 mouth, head bowed.629874093552906e

“Is it because you like me too much, Un?

The only things 83ce7ed74c I could see 553116995b were the light 422a7584dc brown bangs covering 6417b4286d half his forehead, 33df83fe62 the faint line 31e8c8fb48 across his brow, d89462a45f and the soft 82a703d2ef eyelashes fluttering above f20587de67 his downward gaze.ce5187727f97899c

When I didn’t answer, Eun 76faf4681b slowly lifted his eyes and 4eb1e175da looked at me.
At that moment, 6e881b5375 the soft yellow 9e50a7de59 light of the 07aa6a1338 kitchen glowed in 7575bd7061 his pupils.f21cbf1f2735534c

He answered my e71df5c61a question with a 521939aca4 light smile that cc615d2e24 looked like it 60b143daaa might scatter away 10e157af94 with even the 034c3cd706 smallest breath.
I had asked who said 171e325a1d it, but I wasn’t all 2f727fd2ee that curious about the source 4b1672c038 anyway.
I just nodded 973aab06cb a couple of 79d257bd1f times.37cea1e342da0644

Anyone else might have 6cb5854cb7 been annoyed by my bb999dcfe4 halfhearted response, but Eun 6e132b71d9 simply smiled and resumed ac10526ee3 cutting the cake—his hands 6b95a8727a moving again as if fe7d88b933 our conversation had never 1117a9b83d paused.

Eun must have 454fe79c23 noticed I was 5dca562e45 staring at the 7d47f0eaa9 cake, because he 6e114cb20e went and brought bacc7de976 a fork.
Then, with a e6fcab63e1 small piece neatly 78e59e1ab5 cut and ready eb465b07f8 to eat, he c6de65676e held it out 98479d9ac4 to me on 605e0cc93e the fork.2dfe69c103d39869

As I took d7eb00803f it, the tapping 35882fdde5 of my foot 2ba7f629ec against the floor 9d575766d8 stopped.
The regular kitchen sounds e2835f0839 faded away, and in e762db8df3 their place, only the 59bc639681 sound of our breathing c91d056b87 remained.

His reaction caught me 442995cf1d off guard—had I said 4c6b7cd890 something strange? I blinked in confusion.
But then, as if 5fb8f4caaa he were waiting for ecd39947ca the right moment, Eun e6f258e7c6 gave me a slow, 3c970263fc soft smile.1ea15f9b50b255fd

Eun tilted his cc8f16c33f head, then looked 8602764acb at me.

Still, I think it’d be 2db46ea9ac nice to watch the sunrise dad1f5c845 with people you like. No?”8b5d81ff309ad5d9

Ha-jung turned all the way b132e0e3dd around to look at me, 121871a9b8 narrowed his eyes, and let 449f48beeb out a thoughtful hum.2e642966320df5b5

“Seriously? Well, it’s not like 1c98171d02 there’s only one chance 8a54cc8836 to see the New f7f0863bf6 Year’s sunrise.
If we miss 4d0382c24c it next year, 6c54b4f365 we can go 12651d493c the year after!”c32531dc0d8c319b

With a cheerful 197fca7863 voice, Ha-jung leaned 4335f31bb6 on I-ryeong, who 5fc8029122 was sitting next 0e5ce85285 to him.
Like an octopus, he wrapped 59fa138dbd his arms and legs around cd29e67cd3 I-ryeong’s limbs, giggling as he 9080490bfb said they should all go b22cab01aa together.0999304928126b36

He said it casually, then 76927b0352 turned his head and looked cd52a21404 at me.
A bright red flash 43164f4bba from the screen lit 54924eafeb up I-ryeong’s pale face, acdc989ba3 tinting it a soft 1d184d1741 pink.
Looking up at me with bf02dd38cf cheeks flushed like a child 0231bf4f2d with a high fever, I-ryeong ce7e6dc7d6 opened his mouth.66b4175e34b03783

After that, we didn’t really 9f90f2734a watch the movie and just 8e329a1aaf kept chatting about whatever, until 4e7bf2456c eventually, we all fell asleep.1bd3f6b23e6dc446

If someone asked me about 12e9c49fab the plot of the movie, 556d069e47 I honestly wouldn’t have anything cbcb0897b0 to say—we watched so little bb8450d97a of it.
We did put on 0461e463b2 a horror film, but ca56a0cab6 all I remembered was 298a3cc55d feeling like I had fc0f17aae1 a weird, unpleasant dream 8910efa706 rather than being scared.37e00353d883dff1

The one who woke me 4f7665af6a up was Hee-jun.18d8df7ef75e3e4f

It felt like someone was 9fad0b4e04 calling my name, so I 12cdea0012 forced my eyes open—only to aad2471921 meet Hee-jun’s gaze as he 10b4e78543 looked down at me.51d59bc7f89bfb85

It was just a brief 131f899250 moment, but he gave a 5afa12ce3a small smile, then lightly tapped 3af86f32a2 my cheek and told me d0d2268307 to get up.
I turned my b43e1898bc head to dodge 5a9cd97c2d his hand and 7e0e662652 stretched out.c03b3eaab9b12322

Even though I’d a09005c501 fallen asleep to e0b47a94a3 screams, pained groans, d115d957e2 and strange, skin-crawling 40c0b1641b sounds, I actually 3aab2a2b72 felt pretty well-rested—better e195959364 than before I 8e9ea1c183 fell asleep, anyway.9b3d48b94afd0791

After that, we 6f1e127bb2 ate the food a6f4fe4e98 Eun had made, cf1b82e7c7 then for some c3b71fefeb reason, the five 155803f6ca of us all 88502e83cb crammed into a 69ebf8d074 single bathroom to f2c8b3637b brush our teeth 1afa06a04b before saying goodbye.31a9e5d7bbcd7cd4

Once the four 735d7ff3c4 of them left, ffa6287a04 the house grew 08039a7c96 quiet in an 306d9efa93 instant.
While I sat alone 485664fd8c in the silence, a cf18dc3562 message came from my 59a99091fc mom asking when to 2ff2e46b87 book the plane ticket.
I stared at that 16d9ad9c04 text for a long 707a5fe54e time before typing my 439bb9c93f reply.87dbdcef39df1e9b
