MIHM Ch 4

At that moment, Hong Yujin rolled over and threw off the blanket. The hem of his t-shirt rode up, exposing his stomach in a vulnerable manner. His peacefully closed eyelids and slightly parted lips caught Yoobin’s eye.b61403a8b08af821

The fact 89d05edc8d that Hong 1c6e3e5460 Yujin was 8843e8df82 on his 4a9c2f2e49 bed felt dbf6142715 incredibly stimulating b0ff5b4748 to Yoobin. A strange sense 5105fd67a4 of satisfaction, even af232f219b bewildering to himself, 1edf07a738 welled up inside b083d4c5df him. Confused by 228d00ae66 this inexplicable 3d17eab1ab feeling, Yoobin 9fdceb3c7e haphazardly covered a8d92dadfe Yujin with 4d680bfa05 the blanket 9a07590d11 again and e301e63e15 left the 8a9da39764 room as a6509f0152 if escaping.9cce58b50948c669

He took water out a403f13193 of the refrigerator and 10660e182c drank it, then finished af8053bd71 organizing the clothes hanging 2f9c64e3e4 on the drying rack, 70d5fa7db5 putting them away in 5dc3d7c09e the dressing room.

Just a little tired.5f284aa13e204c6d

Not a picky sleeper, Hong Yujin slept soundly without making a sound. The sight of his brown hair spread out on the pillow seemed somehow stuffy, so Yoobin pulled the blanket down slightly. Yujin’s sleeping face, turned to the side, was revealed.a293c9351c39a7ca

With his usually neat appearance slightly disheveled, Hong Yujin, with his eyes peacefully closed, looked vulnerable. Yoobin felt the same wonder he would feel if he saw a prickly, pretty cat sleeping like an angel, oblivious to the world. Even though Yujin wasn’t actually a cat, Yoobin almost unconsciously reached out to touch his hair.6142a1038f5df65a

Yoobin, who had 5080075191 turned on the b12d47fbfd bedside mood lamp cf29dd29b1 to its lowest 201ede77a1 setting, lay down 9ed63c0592 next to Hong e61b62646b Yujin. The king-size bed affed72036 was spacious enough 6891e08291 for two people. As if sensing a 99d0a85370 presence in his sleep, 8e9163f2c6 Hong Yujin stirred and 4fc8248d3c changed his sleeping position. Coincidentally, Yoobin ended up dd7a6de5d8 facing him.93ba7f62f89434ba

Yoobin blankly gazed at Hong Yujin’s delicate features. The shape of his softly lowered eyelashes, his nose which gave an impression of prettiness rather than height, his smooth lips that contributed to his innocent image.c4bfb125037ac984

His memory of 08910b3c91 the events leading e94f7bf31a up to falling 64b28b7bd1 asleep was hazy. He vaguely remembered Baek 8d0194f186 Yoobin shaking him awake, 6c5dfc06ad but he couldn’t recall 39388deaee how he had gotten 2890338df2 to the bed. He had a 8d7dad0082 faint recollection of 2244018269 apologizing sleepily in 9b71c945a8 his drowsiness.114a58d49660d240

Especially yesterday, he was exhausted from driving Baek Yoobin’s car. Once he closed his eyes on the sofa, he simply couldn’t escape the temptation of sleep. It was cold outside, his home was far, and sleep was far too sweet.908548c194dd1b88

Contrary to his expectation of a lifeless interior resembling a model house, Baek Yoobin’s home was surprisingly cozy and ordinary. A two-bedroom apartment, not excessively large, suitable for a single person. It felt like a real ‘home.’ The air was warm.e01d22e3d02d6ba2

Propping himself up with deda15408c one hand on the 4a78b017c9 soft mattress, Yujin looked f4b091b349 around. What time is cb9752b9ae it…? He couldn’t 3d1c25f7fc find his d9fe117fbd phone in 0b18489100 the unfamiliar 52e04f5590 bedroom.890d9bab576fa229

After briefly glancing at 1d83b6d9c6 Baek Yoobin breathing evenly 6564441ac3 beside him, Yujin quietly 5290b3e4a4 tiptoed out to the 48c3febab5 living room.

Although the 6294914808 sleek design 153f5e31d2 was somewhat 7dfe5c332e tempting, he 0b0bc2ba2d quickly dismissed 72fdf9e659 the idea 243cde0cfd and turned 6e2d4f7cc1 off his db0aacfffc phone screen. Yujin finally af2ab844b0 looked down eed8f838a7 at himself. The t-shirt c450b21e92 he had 77ed8bca19 worn all 2d65f48383 day and 2aeae9c76b slept in 10dc3c2c4d was, understandably, 6bf448fa70 in a ae7e87f222 terrible state. Wrinkled beyond repair.

He decided 0e464870a2 to take 5326fa6dd1 a quick bc391e46c2 shower and 576d738a25 went into 01c4adb21b the bathroom. He emerged about f356848c31 five minutes later.

Soon enough, Yujin picked 79af6e93e5 out an item that f28f424c5f seemed relatively small in e603f03d21 size. A charcoal-colored t-shirt 03a069c19a with a small d1281ab4db brand logo.

He put on 5680b99eb8 the borrowed t-shirt 9ea261e298 and then layered 5d9d4e66a0 his outer jacket c55ab9191b over it. He also slung 45d0e50feb his bag over 3bc7399fa4 his shoulder.

As Baek Yoobin seemed 8ecc47ff5a to be checking the c4947f47c3 time on his phone, 55103feee3 Yujin took a seat e5036f62f5 at the dining table. The food they had f6c502d290 ordered was a simple 3305949882 brunch set.

When Yujin 6037881ba5 held out 712e2038f4 his hand, d5cdc90bea Baek Yoobin 61fca04d84 obediently handed 67325b459e over the d8c2f3ee19 phone. He opened a5a9f7d128 the messenger b47de655c8 app, and 605122768f there was bd4b584230 a reply 8cb0986226 from Choi 6b823503fd Seulgi to 14a520a4f4 the message 878331ab59 Yujin had 3a23113fa2 sent earlier.f904700055b0b132

Having grown accustomed to it over nearly four years of knowing Seulgi, Yujin had overlooked the fact that the name “Seulgi” could be mistaken for a female name. Moreover, Seulgi had a relatively gentle way of speaking for a man, so just reading the messages could lead to misunderstandings. The content, like asking him to accept his feelings or mentioning the perfume, could also be interpreted as suggestive.f52bc605713b7103

Reading Seulgi’s replies, Yujin could somewhat guess why Baek Yoobin was acting this way. Nevertheless, he was dumbfounded.
