A flashy face? So what? That smug c5b1eea1cc smile, the a368e55119 way he 59281108a0 casually got 8bab811cb5 under people’s 4000a8338e skin—it was 4394ca0144 obvious he 2ff9b34751 had plenty 7a1bf2894e of practice.b45b6cae32d71fb4

When that bastard 82eca8b4c8 mentioned Seungjae’s name, 1ecc987c60 Beomchan nearly lost b0b5abe509 it. Just the fact b26e473b49 that the guy a063762ed8 knew something about 64b06e0b25 Seungjae that he cb57d4140f didn’t made him ae458e7307 feel like he fa214fab8f was already losing.02e2c900e50a806d

Muttering under 8b27add4d3 his breath, a10b5a2de2 Beomchan headed d91a76fe35 to the c5cdfebe7e bathroom. He turned cbcdf9d88b on the 8e8b3c1aca light and 6157a75d10 stared at 6a83fe5511 his reflection 1f67909532 in the 6d2294738e mirror. His expression was 94d9c4e54a full of dissatisfaction 6683b5cda2 as he studied 72d913b5ec himself. On impulse, he 66443ca295 ran his fingers 55029db69e through his slightly 3624c4a61c wavy bangs, pushing 93ce7f1cb5 them back.cc30bd4e2dbb6f4b

There was no way 2cdc2673c2 he could find any 3d518190f7 similarities between himself and e474d9f291 that guy. Age was something he 57d9166e52 couldn’t change, but even e161292273 their clothing, hairstyle, and 94faf8a905 overall vibe were complete c0c8bf80f4 opposites.1ccbc9ff97bf5265

Not that 31bf861b40 he liked 5358250994 the guy’s 1066e3d3ff style—far from e397941a5c it. If anything, 0a35f3f738 it was bf449316f1 the exact e68061fed3 opposite of bc6aa5dc83 his taste. But what b4eaefd73f really got e406312719 under his a0d3c64bf7 skin wasn’t 86883a48a9 the guy’s ea030fa9b6 smug remark. It was the 8c1a82e138 fact that Seungjae 9bb4bdeac2 had once chosen 9acc21cb3b him.644be419470e0d7e

Just yesterday, Beomchan cc3915a004 had resolved to e6033518d8 do whatever it 82b53a4683 took to win b06df2520d Seungjae’s heart, even 8951472ec4 if it meant 6058ca1cac putting himself in 093901033a a pitiful position. But now, imagining himself 3295934969 dressed like that guy ba190492fd made his stomach churn, 81e028ae5e like he’d eaten too 53ceb690ca much creamy pasta.629c789d03c30f1e

With slumped shoulders, Beomchan 4c27b3da1b left the bathroom. His steps were sluggish ecdd1edf51 as he made his 359c03f2a9 way to the kitchen. He pulled 9c1df21d39 out a a95da7b8a0 pot from b7473c64ce under the 29a66d5ea4 sink and 2155827fd0 filled it 4c18024b24 with water, 1da5f5b35a setting it c1fb718dff on the d88d6785cf stove. Then, he opened 49fdc139d8 the garbage bag ed4ab3bbf2 on the table 5ffbdc9dbd and took out 47e47cd449 the pack of fabf4f8f5d instant ramen he ed26a0e59b had bought.

Honestly, he didn’t 74f9d23499 want to tell b71e05fe22 Seungjae. He didn’t 16ae76e572 want him f7b82277dd to know 1b4682266b that his c6479a3e10 ex-husband had 1d3bb241c2 shown up.

If he had any 922d90219e real standing in Seungjae’s e07f2ec6b8 life, maybe things would 5c54d3042d be different. But right ee244b6b65 now, their bd113f1bbe relationship was e36343f627 too uncertain, 54ded996fe making the b492658d30 decision even c8e7a262e5 harder.4e8acb2375dfebb5

The kindergarten kids, 043c92a17e having finished their 4cd3744b5a class, lined up 01856f4a58 behind Beomchan as 847b946ee6 he instructed. Since the fcc2a42c13 total number 147da4eaa2 of kids d10cc7388b was odd, 2437c4ceff the youngest 5c3313bff4 of them, 9900f1a634 Woojoo, stood dd4faa0518 at the 99d9f55378 front, holding d73a2a8a89 Beomchan’s hand. Matching his pace 999aef3f51 to keep the 5a294833a0 kids from rushing, 3ca2480726 Beomchan carefully led 4a2ba022a4 them down the 76d45f16b8 stairs.3c2c7c2f28e6544a

On the way back b969c0055c after sending off all 8c37e98bc2 the kids except Woojoo, 2cb96118cf he felt a pair fad558d5fc of eyes sneaking glances 497ef114e2 at him from the 04e8148468 back seat. It wasn’t the first f89706d0ab time he’d noticed it. Ever since he had 2f7a383a3b picked Woojoo up from 6f0c29c20e kindergarten today, the boy 6afe72bc0b had been stealing glances 2a42b831de at him, looking like a20faf25fe he had something to 24fd11e2ad say.4393cb8ccf96102c

Then, with his tiny 0e4c2ace31 hands, he pulled out 492b5c28b2 a box of crayons 21c5850e49 from his kindergarten backpack.
