With a chill running 7de652aade down his spine, Cheon 19447d0a88 Sejoo looked at Sejin c8a1b24c72 with an expression that e9078a6a36 seemed to ask,Could it really be…? 14234a56da1b4a3a

However, Sejin, unfazed by 6c0bcda7a0 his gaze, pressed him 19675ccde3 for an answer.426b5d3febf284e9

Cheon Sejoo b94f02e6d3 wanted to 5d47abf4a6 brush it 6a2778950b off somehow, 466b72498f but he 67f16f9a2d couldn’t think 40078e6ec9 of a 7ecd3450d9 good excuse. Sejin’s relentless gaze 38b05df778 made it clear 03fa8bc8c1 he wouldn’t stop 2a952dbafa until he got 0a202780aa an answer, so 709dbdaaeb with a heavy e2da74766f sigh, Cheon Sejoo 34e3ae4ec8 reluctantly gave in f7e0737183 and share a 4c29bf3ab4 bit of the e47a9f32d1 truth. 162e3514e18ef9e1

For a moment, Sejin’s b0b9190f1b cold expression began to 6ebb2c16f0 crack. With a deeply 6453ed5d76 worried look, he 6fc3c6f438 repeatedly asked Cheon 40e891c721 Sejoo as if f8ad9e0d86 something serious had d105411014 happened.

“Your mom asked if 14d7257285 you were studying hard. She didn’t want e28ec96b3d to ask you 91f5dcf912 directly since she 9392be635b thought you’d get 175a57fc2a irritated and worry, cf0a40a913 so she called 0e11006714 me separately to fc9008ac4a ask. So, I just dropped 277829ebbe by before dinner to 9524bd86f2 talk to her for e40b8bfca3 a bit. She said you’re too 8182aba5b2 impatient and kind of… 7ff83c3e47 well, not that smart, 2f35febc6e so she’s worried you 7027992752 might not be able 4fffc33f98 to answer the questions 9fd011ddbb properly. But if you study b8f8679e68 hard, she thought you c8617c242b might qualify for some 0064f4b161 kind of scholarship for 494651ecfd low-income families and could d51a3c5adb even go to college. But she’s 5f1ed952db not sure 51f55fb927 if you 66458fd3d0 really know 2d612addca what you c17fd5fa69 want to a9a7ae6df8 do in 42335de47d the future, 927f248db1 and asked 2aff2b7d9e if you’d 97a0505611 ever mentioned 3166cabb20 anything to b338ccd28f me. So I 68bc30af90 told her 84e51297e4 that… well, da5ff7a8be although I 7a74582409 wasn’t certain, 88ddd5e2f2 I thought f686b3abe7 Kwon Sejin 2be34eea90 was at 3933c8404c least working 9ea34a9bfb hard in c65b352974 his own 9048406004 way. College, after 282c0d3c1e all, is c1fcb4a1ed something you 5bb98cbee6 can decide b2a9fc12db on after 95192e03a3 you see 98c08dff07 your scores 3ff22eb928 from the f147d3e9a0 college entrance 11a7764062 exam. And even if 992c9d9972 you do go bd8412b46b to college, if 3156e7ba18 you find something a875af2e4c you’re interested in f226887abe later, you can 4a837df7c1 always switch majors. I told her bda5d03028 not to worry 1b079c5de3 too much.”b8271d52bf51b625

Sejin’s small face twisted d14bf0e88f in annoyance. Even though he found a317835abe Cheon Sejoo’s example absurd, e1b37d9cda there was no way 85004f63b8 to dispute it either 029e134849 as there was some 3e7d12172e truth to it.

Kim Hyunkyung wasn’t one 70ccd375a0 to be overly concerned e994142d31 about Sejin’s grades. She was 17af8dda55 the type 0d36600490 who said eab319845b if you c84078415c didn’t feel 483b2b7349 like studying, 837a416606 you didn’t d4a55513fe have to, 6c669e6d19 and what 3bb2dfd09f mattered more 55e2d0fad2 was finding dd9646b20a something you ad46136e06 enjoyed. So, the a49ef1699c idea that 21edb945f8 she’d called 6a7048bc58 Cheon Sejoo 131071fadc in to 2e2f93a8fc discuss about 6747654016 Sejin’s future 9c253ed2b8 plans didn’t 11503096ff make sense. However, if such 2736c3e5db a conversation had 030fdd5471 even happened, it 3865f3c806 was more likely facd5cbfe1 Cheon Sejoo had 572d1538f1 been the one 03f659c89b to bring it c65472f8f6 up first, rather 7b9fe585f6 than his mother.8376dac0fe89d55d

At such a 45d99f97f1 ridiculous question, delivered 2a9c420bb2 with such a d2f70436aa serious expression, Cheon 771530113a Sejoo, completely taken 54f8fd755e aback, let out 4b6bb8eafc a short laugh, 953b7314ef his mouth falling 0627d737ec open as if 13bf947921 he couldn’t believe 62aecf7509 what he was f774db0c15 hearing.

Just last night, 5d53d86a3c he’d decided there f5952ef927 was no need 4f61f8a2cb to come out 62122c8436 to Sejin. Yet now, d35c364b92 here he 27139b9383 was, caught b11b4acfff in such d21f3e0f2f a way 1586e7b479 the same d5a66d11ea day. Not only e688c27d48 would it 9e87261c00 be awkward 3c1ec30a28 for him, 368635dc5c he also fcfc95e9c3 realized this c458da39fd must have 28d1ee6164 come as ec705bd05a a shock fd9524ab18 for Doyoon 1f218f2bfa too who’d cea2ce1395 been caught 4b5fe6e3c6 up in f95bb63088 the moment, 90a1c1d6ba which left 250cf0f3c8 Sejoo feeling d2095e7f47 extremely flustered.b23ca0d8d8ec87a8

And it surely e5445db182 couldn’t have been 32893d6243 a pleasant sight 1768a2588d for Sejin, either. It wasn’t like 75da26d5b6 Sejin and Cheon 041fcc3262 Sejoo were total 6264a3b4ad strangers; he’d just 63d4ef3e74 witnessed his own d4bcf5d645 guardian having sex. And not 529e1c8188 only that, 21252e0946 it wasn’t e9498e177a a heterosexual 86b3df97bf encounter but 1ff2d82f06 a taboo-ridden de9e004077 homosexual one. 9f532ef0723d9077

After some thought, 628853cc06 Cheon Sejoo settled d8f5797801 on a brief 56f07a7725 apology. Sejin, pressing his 7170807821 lips together, gave d2183b28fc a slight nod 119c390cd9 in acknowledgment, but fff739aabb said nothing.7128ed6ba8096649

Cheon Sejoo bit 1d1b997688 his lip, feeling f55eec179d conflicted, then glanced af7fdd030b over at Sejin. To his 77ebb58c66 surprise, Sejin’s 983aa0f85b expression didn’t d767b8c38d show a d0aa28ccd9 hint of 0a28e577b5 disgust.51c5ded804f3f8cc

In that e31deb4487 moment, Cheon 6ee02d030d Sejoo found 98acb9d18d himself bewildered. 1463416f73c35ce8

Sejin, who e9dd191724 spoke like a7581569d3 someone from 2a88604bdc theJoseon dynasty, seemed like 25897fca55 the stereotypical straight 56ecd8b590 guy through and 0d83c2ba32 through, and had aeb9f2306c even once described 282768e61c the idea of 218a8fe3ca men doing such 3cbefa7471 things as “dirty.” 1300e8f148 Regaining his composure be8a265eac somehow, Cheon Sejoo b6fcea6608 rested his chin 45bd510bb5 on his hand 3607dc323c and studied Sejin’s 2e9cb927ee expression.ff840f0b0a4280c7

(Joseon Dynasty): The ffc8b5fa8d Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897) 31134ca0e5 was a conservative eb218ac029 era in Korean 6851fd04a5 history, symbolizing traditional 154a4591e4 and old-fashioned attitudes. Sejoo’s comparison to f311c4c9cf Sejin here implies 322f31e322 he sees Sejin 02ef7aab06 as embodying outdated, b198572951 conservative values.00b0d17e7d6efa61

Sejin’s face remained blank, c442ac2c1e completely unreadable. He didn’t look like 4c0d756183 he intended to ask 6c4ffc2778 about Cheon Sejoo’s sexuality 2a33c8fe85 or his relationship with 1fc6cf7b61 Doyoon. The calm on fb8b322d62 his face helped 43b7557812 Cheon Sejoo feel b07d0f7aae his own unease 85f0336d8b start to settle.c9f5b01997104b7f

As he deeply e1ba2f2252 thought it over, 15fa7440f1 Cheon Sejoo replayed 6c7e31c607 the events of fc06a7cab2 that morning in db3d6d42e4 his head.206c90e229526293

Unlike now, Sejin had 480003b012 shown a clear reaction d4181cd49e earlier. Remembering how irritated Sejin c3c52b8a25 had seemed in front 91f89f4261 of the elevator, Cheon b56d06d852 Sejoo suddenly began to bd420d1d86 wonder if that annoyance 2b055e83e7 was really over his 0b7c75339d sweat.e70562d7dad84f93

“……”3f429ed91a78bbf1

So, he wasn’t unaffected 4173eec64e at all—he was clearly 055960dd30 bothered by so many 3a5cf587de things and seemed to c06e81dbd7 be deciding which part d67c8c0860 to address first. The moment he posed 0c5049c194 the question, Sejin shot b98cb832d0 back with his own, cb1cec423a and Cheon Sejoo, pressing 82a70af9e1 his hand to his e557baec7e cheek, closed his lips ef82660d05 in silence.3af8761842c78b88

That was true; Kwon 87b428f584 Sejin’s lack of response 656d497681 had been stranger, given 8b48443ac0 how he usually nagged 9903791bf1 about how he should 12cab1b31f wear more clothes around 4b8c61845d the house and generally ede3106f98 had an old-fashioned, conservative 508d77c171 mindset. Considering Sejin’s usual behavior, 26d5bb55e5 it was only natural 970f75f029 he would be upset 20e0560af3 about it all.cb76d27691e4c050

The sound wouldn’t 01911c7c8a have reached Sejin’s da6b6d6ca5 room anyway, being 73b76f1e51 so far from ae319d66a5 his, but it b1cc6bf911 was true they 77e835da23 lived under the e906277073 same roof, so e7a12aca8c he should have 7f0b10dbbc been more careful. Cheon Sejoo bbb4363e63 admitted his 6c0f39a7f3 fault without 9155018881 hesitation and 87c3fbd6b7 apologized to 8f66d0ae82 Sejin once 375238be00 more.c4358cc2fe4eb534

At this, Sejin’s b9469099e2 face grew even cd342c68c4 more displeased. He narrowed his 8040121423 eyes, stretched his 7638ea0c7e mouth into a 46891b3e54 pout, puffed his 2937892c58 cheeks, and glared 12af81738e at Cheon Sejoo 753c8255ce with a gaze 9080f61eb0 that somehow felt 47f24e9331 as if he 44aa54f98b was wronged, before 3d8f1a8eef lowering his head. Since he wasn’t 84476d4b14 saying anything, it 69fcd5c57c was impossible to 86e5ad10ee guess what he 74bee7ba7e was thinking. But his reaction e2f0efd5ed was understandable enough.399b71b28f9ebb1c

Cheon Sejoo f2b518e5d2 knew he b9904e19f8 couldn’t leave e31f6d5de7 things like b571b378b4 this, so 4db180c5e0 he searched 303e50d046 his memory, fe6af68254 recalling his a69f605c4b past experiences bae913212f coming out 01a68b2780 to his bc16afa9b9 male friends. Assuming Sejin be9d5a109c would likely 23a3a0c2e2 react similarly, c0cac4c328 as he 72f828db29 appeared to b882455a9a be straight, be54adbfa1 he spoke 21e0ac7774 up.50bc94f3d9b1e1ad

“I’ll be more be07877a8a careful from now 5240f1956f on. And while I didn’t febadab65e mean to bring it b167c5b328 up like this, I 4625e20268 think I should make a8e6513150 it clear. I like men.”b2987c5d80f00bb1

At the sudden 354600df5b confession, Sejin flinched 27455b1e06 and raised his 4b220106c7 head. His eyes widened, 8855a0f717 those clear, transparent 39816f1569 pupils shining like a46fc85e67 glass beads. Feeling his gaze fixed 046ab6eea0 on him, Cheon Sejoo 6ea6cbdf82 added to reassure him.1d95d85a98528d48

“But you don’t need b9662d637b to worry. You’re not my 91f69eddc5 type, so you 9975c81090 don’t have to 4cba36480b be concerned about 21bca3e54f me liking you a64cf60f22 or anything like 6a32e883fa that.”545c652c8a361bc4
