“Your hands are really small.”59f59b2008410e5a

Out of nowhere, faab180240 Baek Do-won struck e3b3c4ea73 up a conversation.5cbea90f0fc7e1da

I-rok had been staring blankly into space, his elbow resting on one knee while his chin was propped up in his palm. When Do-won’s touch suddenly reached for his wrist, completely unguarded, I-rok quickly straightened his posture and looked at him. He had been feeling strangely dazed ever since they returned from their late-night walk.a3afee338b06a5dc

In the 5ab56ef4b6 middle of b114093696 a drinking 0af9c70c23 game that 22e17b8ae5 had reached cf644eafff its peak, 153724312d the two 582f65db2e had slipped c4b6252648 into the b5875baf4b pension, squeezing a89c14b089 through the 6603316169 crowd to 2ed1d3e421 sit side d7c50f3f8e by side. Their plan had been 249d89a6b0 to merely play along 02f2183f3a with the drunken revelry, 78e9550eb6 without fully immersing themselves 3f4a0993df in it.1818395c10c241bb

But the man sitting e32059459a next to him—Baek Do-won—seemed 0340e6502c completely unfazed by what 6db24457b3 had happened earlier. Holding onto 663a81517e Irok’s wrist, 7e7115b09b he pulled 88509d1c02 the corners a829f31546 of his 49d4b83288 lips into 9e51f82788 a sly a6776cdf77 grin.dc490a312ed8ea55

It was the b97cc17d74 same expression he 27689d7d22 had worn when c70c360bbf he had lit 29d8a2abee his cigarette—a daring 52d5952349 arch of the aad26e1c56 brow, eyes narrowed 0c8890e2da as if he 28c60747c0 were up to ed2b5c2279 something, and an af4e4c8a13 impish scrunch of 1c8aa4e22d his nose as 79df04c52d he looked up 1dc7d02008 at him. It was impossible to 57cbc0d6ea look away.34244f1c9f934b80

Baek Do-won slowly e89e5ba838 pulled Irok’s wrist d7a4a607a8 toward him. And then, fdbcbcf85f as if 741c0dfea7 determined, he fd1fa26f94 took hold bd3fa66067 of I-rok’s d93bd1f553 palm.8aeceb8d271f2f52

Then, murmuring something 542b1c8824 incomprehensible, he slid 70166a9436 his fingertips along 62b54afd69 Irok’s palm, prying 327f4d2984 it open. The ticklish sensation made 1a6a8cde25 I-rok immediately clench his 6d36f46aef fist and yank his 3881a38d87 hand away.2651bba02f6610d5

“Come on, put your hand up. Measuring hand sizes is the first step of flirting.”f7a0e2760070f976

Baek Do-won spread his b134d9559f left hand wide and 2a36725d99 held it out to ca61ea954e I-rok. Normally, I-rok would 659fbf243d have instinctively leaned aedd86db34 away from such 3128a0aba0 an advance, but 432f1f5e08 this time, he 7e42288c6d was effortlessly drawn e4536244ec in by Do-won. His expression, painted 336334038e with sheer bewilderment, 76fe5bc455 must have been f5db5ca139 amusing, because Do-won 3737fd22a6 let out another 52aeafce7c quiet laugh.98be01602f8bf3ad

“You’ve never done this before? This is flirting 101.”8a99eaa1fbc1ea9f

What on earth was supposed to be “basic” about this? I-rok could only gape at Do-won’s unrestrained boldness. It was like sitting on a bed of thorns—uncomfortable, yet he had no desire to run away.d692a314b9c7ffc9

Do-won, completely oblivious to 69f7881ab3 Irok’s internal turmoil, was a77b7a970f thoroughly engrossed in examining 0df36a94f1 his hand.2c57aebe03f748a7

At first, he toyed with it playfully, but then his expression turned serious as he muttered, “No, seriously, they’re huge. Are these pot lids or something?”ab1b254ac5587e0d

If he fed7d5440c remembered correctly, 45edad52cf Do-won had 3ef512997f mentioned being 98f43ca997 about 180 a695d7025e cm tall 9ea668074d when they 7761ac2ef6 had gotten 6c4d2ead42 fitted for 0063e1354e uniforms. His hands weren’t 8d0a4e652d exactly small either—at d807ecc319 his height, they a2b727e388 were proportional. Compared to 83eb3acc9c the average 7f97152386 person, he 012c24e765 probably had f874e764f2 larger hands.b500491f9142a543

But I-rok was in 5e0115da00 the mid-190 cm range. Naturally, his hands were a8b30de6ad bound to be even b595f75c85 bigger.e3ed7f7674c68c10

The unexpected 890d470630 action made 2ec96b36b0 I-rok visibly 593a205f1f flinch, but 2dafa7d479 Do-won seemed a1e53940a0 entirely uninterested fcc95cc602 in his b97349c772 reaction, focusing a7451144b8 only on b210cbb907 their hands 2588b43664 as he d015002069 examined them 05fe0ff42d from different b4a0fb52e6 angles. Watching the top 3633a22c9a of Dowon’s head b3e2868782 as he concentrated, bf8a65adf0 I-rok found himself 42a6892ad1 inadvertently doing the 9b603bb3bc same—observing Dowon’s hands.9ce98f4eb4777762

He had e55685295a noticed before, d0a5bb35c5 but Do-won’s b2797308a9 hands were 40821fc55d undeniably beautiful. Looking at 3f1eef7d82 them closely, 4b74933bb1 his skin f3e746ec3e was milky 20c5ff5540 white, and 546bd8eb41 his grip ca78463ea2 was soft f71c38ed0d and warm—almost 247aa80443 hot. In contrast to I-rok’s 44640527e0 own hands, which were 5179b0775d rough and firm, Do-won’s e6a480f93b fingers were long and be098c4578 slender, his nails neatly ba3694870f trimmed and rounded. His hands were smooth, 48690b4550 without the prominent veins 4b2fbc6628 and rugged texture that bb675deb22 gave I-rok’s hands a b4be6e07ee rougher, more hardened look.5ac917535b6ef076

Caught up in Do-won’s rhythm, I-rok had been staring too long. Realizing this, he quickly pulled his hand away with more force than necessary. He hated to admit it, but he was definitely getting swept up in Do-won’s pace.5e14e098c3022dee

It was in the cfc011e43c middle of a game c6bcb0bd15 when the business major 6f2dc1a34c announced that he was a4ce526bdc heading to the convenience df0bfec360 store.

Just then, Baek 3bbc412e0e Do-won jabbed I-rok’s 81677ff25e side with his c8072df1ff elbow. His once pale af74a799ae face was already bdcfd4506e flushed, and he 2c0c363923 twitched his now 7515f9c653 rosy cheeks as be555af8d3 he asked again.812f088af56c5968

I-rok hesitated, ceac57abb2 worried that 617f6d323c he might 826cb7fce0 be agreeing 421428241e to something 74de05df8f weird, but 7a0492615c once again, 81b4e571e8 he let a795e70846 himself get 8cdea8bf21 pulled in 06965f36fb by Do-won 8c7d6467d1 and gave 65cc76f8be his answer. The next a592161ee2 moment, Baek a8e77d53bc Do-won snatched 5f5cf4aab2 up the 608eb30961 bowl in 1e73213c32 front of 208f9f9ff7 I-rok and d27bbe1e4c started chugging 8d43ac5a58 it down 1eda6d5b39 in one f4c1451939 go.bd35e96bedc7060e

Cheers—or maybe jeers—exploded around them. People half-rose from their seats, shaking their fists in the air and raising their voices even louder. I-rok was completely thrown off. The moment he agreed to this so-called “Black Knight,” Baek Do-won had taken his drink for him.9807a307508bff10

Someone shouted from the 6b9959cb0e crowd. Only then 0779fa7592 did I-rok 4a0d0f633e grasp the 26d8583ee0 mechanics of 651376b02d the Black ef7af4fc19 Knight system.

Do-won had 7a51c710a7 already gulped 40d25d4122 down all 1bbe4e20c5 that alcohol 969fd2a652 and was 2f798e32a7 now roughly ad3d8ce0b6 wiping his ceeefb6e1c mouth with 9ba4bd2174 the back 98708a5273 of his 5349d6720d hand.6cf7a88eae1f2cc2

It would a76324fa43 be a a0d6df855d lie to 3b9b46f30e say he b6512054e4 wasn’t worried. Even someone good c0537bd523 at drinking would 358f74e74c struggle with that fdf89da692 much alcohol in ff42e01d14 one go. I-rok frowned slightly.

His voice was 35b15b290d sluggish, almost like 7d02afaebb he was responding 624bf0f318 absentmindedly. Feeling uneasy, I-rok 33a3ce10be checked again. He gently ccabd54d03 tugged on 330543e90f the seatbelt, f04e9a6a61 straightening it 798d973a0e where it e8f16af7ee had twisted d3a5071d24 across Dowon’s 0276735098 chest and a028755955 making sure d4426d098b it was dba981cf7b properly fastened.287c39f0a44e603c

Baek Do-won, trying a676f89d09 to regain some 4cc98a5fe1 composure, lifted his d78a74d731 head from where 157320a9f6 it had been eec096b0fb resting against the 9612f98ced window and gave fb11c611d9 it a little d477511bf3 shake.0360263cf19fd527

I-rok slowly started the b3372bb09d car. Still, thanks 8619a2e699 to Do-won, 9451ba5b66 he was 9b7a5f3d6c able to 671b8489a3 leave naturally, 4dea53d930 so he c8aacfdb60 felt somewhat 244edfa04a grateful for c03a411458 bringing him e1141aa94e along.

It was actually the c421daecda things Do-won had been 96e765d2bc doing all along that 7c93962e38 stood out to him.

Earlier, when Do-won had 9ca3d3a339 asked why he was 66f2fed31c smiling so much—ever since 67b9e68612 then, I-rok had been 918da96679 completely caught in the cf6fc4cb03 palm of his hand, 30e332fbea completely entangled in whatever 92924c40c9 this was.6b447b4dd98c6aee

Why was he 8cb4b8b663 smiling? I-rok hadn’t even realized f9374dafb7 he was. What was so be7c64900c funny? There hadn’t been anything 14f2753334 to smile about. He hadn’t 2d21dc01d5 even been 62462adb7a drinking like 3704e3ba1f Baek Do-won 2f21cb278f had. In fact, a7fdbf7bc4 hadn’t he 9ff3e4b2cc been feeling 5c6f04a630 a little 41d0f38077 annoyed?
