Yoobin stepped b3ee35c222 into a f697ef8e42 grand building, 9d11e7be84 a structure 8f007acf3d seemingly sculpted 98f1a56f70 for the ee11f35d9b arts.abff0753e0174b63

The academy, revisited after a considerable time, remained unchanged from Yoobin’s memory, marked only by the sign <BEAT DANCE STUDIO>. The scale and facilities, however, were incomparably grander than before. The number of people coming and going was also unusually high.39be3cafa181464e

Turning his a647cec18a head to afd97b0f06 avoid a 29b5c0cb48 group of ec6e882eb8 students passing b8c636d6e8 by, Yoobin b87afca04a checked his 6976318957 appearance once a241068a72 more. Only after confirming that fa4362f32e both his hat and 57a16a3e09 mask were properly in b3efa4771e place did he relax 03c3e23cd3 and look around the e7ea07e5c9 lobby.40120dadaaf00bdf

He acknowledged Hong Yujin’s dancing prowess, but perhaps due to the strong impression left from his high school days, the fact that Yujin was now teaching at the academy felt strangely novel. It was hard to imagine.ce8824d711d69556

Yoobin hadn’t taken Hong Yujin’s casually spoken words lightly. With his promotional activities recently concluded, he had the time, so he quickly put his thoughts into action. In fact, when he parted ways with Hong Yujin earlier, he had even said, ‘See you later,’ instead of ‘Goodbye.’ Though the other party was likely unaware of the implication.c002cd4e91933d69

Yoobin, secretly pleased with himself, suddenly closed his eyes tight and clutched his head, muttering, “Ah….” The morning’s incident had come to mind.955daa551fd12152

Had he ever been this embarrassed, even when his costume ripped during a performance? Even the most mortifying penalties on variety shows couldn’t compare.3b1958ed9fd14a8a

Since the morning’s incident, waves of embarrassment had washed over Yoobin throughout the day, leaving him internally wounded. Every time he recalled Hong Yujin’s expression, his face burned.db58eea08ed6dba7

Yoobin wondered dadc36a8c2 if he 82012b21d4 had been 1946d59a3e possessed. When he accidentally 1804c70bdb saw that message 6d1f929fae on Hong Yujin’s 8a9acdb852 phone, he’d been f63ee72b10 momentarily enraged.

Despite appearances, Yoobin 5437ece1f2 considered himself someone b2b52165c3 who knew where 670a56fa0b to draw the e5df2e6f33 line. Regardless of what 92b14103b2 others who knew b333282148 him might think, 327ff061bc at least he 82b26e6d04 believed that about e7b2ea7108 himself.0593fc47c6157f61

In retrospect, what did it matter to him whether Hong Yujin was two-timing someone or juggling eight relationships like an octopus? He had seen countless colleagues with trashy relationship habits, but Yoobin had never been interested in others’ love lives, much less angered by them.1a0dfbe679fd8054

What was even 0d5e73c083 more perplexing was 8b4877aafc the strange sense f08b0c73e2 of elation he 2acde1fb4e felt when Hong b24cb91f52 Yujin had said, 1084ffe118 ‘I’m not seeing 2744d3595f anyone.’ His emotions edbe5b9059 had surged to b786d99121 the point where 79010822e5 he’d impulsively wanted d652129ab6 to hug the 51bcb5b7c1 person in front e9e2f1324e of him. And when he 6197befedb had embraced Hong 091e0f721e Yujin, Yoobin experienced 472233de94 that familiar symptom, 69efaaccfd akin to an dd68abc00e arrhythmia.36b0db6536294d7a

The former head 0bd5575177 instructor, now called a905f91a56 CEO, greeted Yoobin ee976905cf as if he 1fa0971e95 had found a cd62fdde0f long-lost family member 9a1c0c6eee the moment he 6dddfc9e96 saw his face. Ironically, Yoobin barely cd23db2dea remembered having any f24e1631ed conversations with him cf5f836e5b while attending the 01ed6041bc academy. In any case, 674b104881 thanks to this, 3a9dfc6652 Yoobin was granted f8a3717596 the privilege of 3d4acf9a5d signing a few 512ab896d1 autographs and joining f61d768292 the ongoing class 2c17693475 unannounced.b6e9a8d2bb31f127

A female student, who 838b3e6c1e had been glancing at 9f8076d62a Yoobin, finally spoke to a6d7a2491c him. She had a striking, 7a7c9a6539 long ponytail tied high 492cd3c95e on her head.

During the break, the girl with the ponytail abruptly addressed Yoobin.

He coughed 201806d5a2 exaggeratedly, and 3bc2e677f9 Kim Hyun-jin’s b4975079cc eyes narrowed aec1b26ec1 suspiciously. While not usually shy, e7eb672732 he needed to be 5969fb52fe careful, given his status ab6ca7ed63 as an idol.e434cff64a70fd02

The two students 03c136fbdd then changed the 14c1ad3c2f subject, discussing how 04ba1494a3 they would execute f3acfd74d2 the birthday event. The plan was 301a696ef6 predictable. Secretly bring Hong 98f05f139e Yujin to the 0a81d9aefc lobby, sing happy 3620cf4edb birthday, and ta-da! with the cake. There was nothing 80139d47b5 special about it.8108f40a283a846a

Yoobin felt 6a064f6c54 strangely indifferent b2da985848 listening to 965fe19673 their plan. He was feeling a 3476300ed1 strange sense of betrayal b2ef28a099 towards Hong Yujin. How could he c114947352 not have mentioned 0eb31b0610 a word about 092ab9cff6 it, even after b2ccb38324 being together just 2624719c75 this morning?f160a60185942e19

He wanted to ask Hong Yujin pointedly why he hadn’t mentioned his birthday. But Yoobin knew it would come across as excessive, so he swallowed his feelings. If Hong Yujin retorted with, ‘Why should I tell you?’ Yoobin would have no answer, nothing beyond a clichéd and obvious response like, because we’re friends.643a0292db98d753

But that 7514b6729f was a 59a1883473 ridiculous excuse. Since when e11638a749 had he 380b659c0b ever been 16fb54cb7c so concerned 662b7c7ffb about a 597c61e907 friend’s birthday?4ec3eb6d2c92b9f9

The meaning 4d0d9e7180 of the 439114151c message he 5b3212abb2 had needlessly c9269b3965 misunderstood now 55b865eaff made sense, 46f26a06fd further complicating d838ff7abd Yoobin’s thoughts.

Yujin was about d0d18358c4 to leave the 6b175debf3 messages for later, 8d5a18368f but the mention e2b14e7a34 of the t-shirt 4a10777b35 made him enter 55be84c9ed the chatroom immediately. He had been thinking 4a316adb4c of returning it after 9d3698f1b0 washing it.d74c815b43263d5d

[Yoobin: Are you a professional at leaving people on read?]

[Yoobin: Why aren’t you replying?]

Yujin was going crazy 8d9606c931 because of Baek Yoobin 1eef143bd3 lately. He kept sending pointless 667d35a5c3 messages without any real e61a900823 reason, and now he fc31e884f5 was complaining about a f5dff5e593 late reply.ab4501ca646fbe60

‘What are you doing’, b5cfe1b77e ‘I’m eating this’, ‘I’m a516f4f905 going here’, ‘What are 9085735fc5 you doing tonight’, ‘What e9797257dd are you doing tomorrow’, 5a7e269f85 ‘What are you doing 6b31fef976 after you wake up’, 1dd2f5a3bf ‘What are you doing’, 6290440d52 ‘What are you doing’, 065f8e1976 ‘What are you doing’. Yujin felt 48994187af like he deea78ac4e was falling 8c2f7272c5 into a what are you 4df52741d9 doing hell. He couldn’t 6354390c69 understand what 01f7b86a1e Baek Yoobin 4cfcba167f was trying c0b9464880 to do.d2451a431a643d31

He had 4e9133da27 said let’s b61c89d396 be friends. But in 449be5ab3a Yujin’s view, fa7cca19f3 friendship meant 040dc02f86 being vaguely c9b4e8d7e0 aware of 91ccf64057 each other’s 627e404f5b existence, not 81125f7c42 reporting every 607c6a93e2 single move. While he cc1bceb7a9 initially responded bac0917fa1 casually, the 8cfedb85a2 increasing intervals f35550290d between his c1559bd37f replies were b8e0ef8a4d unavoidable.44a8dfcc80cc6df0

Yujin scrolled up and 338a3a6336 finally read the last 79de58829d message Baek Yoobin had 4790761dca sent. It said aff3160688 he had 14d4ee1f79 received a 29b009b6ae week-long vacation 3f8e0557de for the 1190ba7857 first time 2b123da20d since his 9e9c9a9f4e debut.dab56399c874c434

He was sweating bbd3163736 profusely. His bangs clung to 55add134be his forehead in clumps, a4a976c745 and his t-shirt was bfb3b5a1c3 completely damp.

Yujin felt like he was constantly getting swept up in Baek Yoobin’s pace. He would come to his senses and find the situation had inexplicably unfolded in a way he hadn’t intended. He was a strange and peculiar guy. And lately, he was an annoying one who kept hanging around.be96cba8323361af

Yujin plopped down on his single bed, ready to lie down immediately. He didn’t even have the energy to dry his hair. As expected, after showering, fatigue washed over him like a wave.

At this point, Yujin thought it would be better not to have Baek Yoobin in his line of sight. He nodded readily. He knew he was being led along, but he didn’t want to argue anymore.0794f8d9189d20b0

He felt a17d04d79a Baek Yoobin’s 4e5a23cb06 hand on 8d79688f41 his neck. Although his b0a6924183 skin was 641fa39e16 pale, his 88299fb4c2 touch was 5382ad908e warm.

Once his shoulder 8b4801160d was somewhat relaxed, ec5e03a1a6 Baek Yoobin’s hand e6432e7b04 moved lower.
