SS Chapter 1.1

1. Beginning of Summer

Ding dong- e52fc3f636e443bf

The cheerful melody 9d6b1cb37b of a game a1f6b131d3 that had been 97394b4cdc filling the house 67b79dd940 was interrupted by 80577ae1ce the long sound 93ba5c8b8d of the doorbell. 4432b74800a941fd

Eunho tuned out the noise around him, his entire focus locked on the game glowing in his hands. Today, he was determined to beat his high score. This was it, his last life, and a single moment of distraction could cost him everything. None of his friends played this particular game, so begging for extra lives wasn’t even an option. 5eaa4d97b992a4ef

The adorable 83d90b50f8 cookie-shaped character 692317e334 ran to e2713d220a the right da10f60b31 accompanied by 65fec9bc52 bouncy music. The remaining life gauge 1177fa46b3 was rapidly decreasing, but d4b3842559 the finish line was 5356c8476d right in front of 64fb77dd47 him. 51c1e51d1f1d0e13

The cookie 746de4c233 smoothly slid 7a9196891e to avoid f956a7915a icicles falling 5343556f65 from the 4d5b0e1215 sky. One misstep and 26a0a46387 this round would ac121df160 be over. Just as 8778b491ef Eunho adjusted 1531bb506d his sweaty 97d8169bae grip on 03bef40b2e the phone, 0993762f37 the doorbell 70b874fb81 rang again. 5ef2387169381d4d

Startled by the sound, Eunho pressed the slide button with his right hand even though he knew it was time to jump. The small winged cookie fell through a gap and the words “Game Over” filled the screen. 6b992fbb0ef33886

“Ugh…” f2a77c111c12203e

Eunho’s arm, still clutching his phone, flopped down beside the sofa. With a groan, he threw his other arm over his eyes. 8574de35b1a0f852

Oblivious to Eunho’s mix of anger and regret, the annoying sound filled the house again. It was the third doorbell ring. bff14a124acec8a4

“That bastard could just come in instead of ringing the damn bell,” Eunho grumbled irritably. 57c5ccf03a66885f

It was a 668d0b6927 lazy Sunday morning. Eunho was an early 5daaa4c25c bird, but for most 43c37a5b4e people this would be 4272020cd9 a good time for 82448bddee sleeping. a4588d6354224f5f

Seriously, who in their right mind would be ringing someone’s doorbell at this ungodly hour? There was only one person Eunho knew who’d pull something like that. 674dd6421b2e6430

“You asshole, just enter the code and come in!” c0054469e41e5d68

Eunho yelled while ddedc59202 lying on the bd3a8953f7 sofa with his 0b278bb76b gaze fixed on b2d4496c02 the ceiling. His shout 447a7f8f2e must have 71ae4ddc9d reached its 77a256c0ff target, because 2b3d51a4d5 soon the 05483c2742 cheerful sound 557a20d06f of the 850e12a692 door code f22f1e7715 being entered dd5b80e5ae rang out. 6349e4185a1491e0

Along with 13ecb75ac0 the sound a7cb6fcf22 of slippers, 3686e3271e a tall f7665e8e25 figure entered 812a789651 the living 925d10c6a7 room where eedd7239ed Eunho was d900cb6479 lying.

Eunho let out a f024d0443f disbelieving laugh at the ff7d41b3cc nonchalant response. as the other f4a8ac9b08 one just stood 48ca70cbb3 in front of 630e379b4f the dining table, 2ed45bc2d1 taking off his 15f995836b wristwatch, seemingly unbothered. acc6318e53fb8e92

Most people would at least offer an insincere apology when someone was this annoyed, but Cha Dohyeon didn’t seem to have any such intention. What an asshole. He smirked as Eunho grumbled. b063c937a36a846b

“Your mom and dad might be home, you know. They’d be startled if I just enter the code and came in.” 4cbaf36500e958c6

It was a ridiculous excuse. Eunho’s parents were the type to make dinner for Cha Dohyeon even if he showed up at 1 AM, asking if he was hungry. The fact that they welcomed him more warmly than their own son was probably known even to the stray cats outside. 95044f4d5b83e463

“Here, play with this then.” 97d5988d3ded1cb4

Eunho rubbed his stomach and turned on Dohyeon’s phone screen. The lock screen showed a photo of several people gathered in front of a blue ocean. It was from a family trip to Jeju Island during summer break of their first year. 33e4bef5bf72db11

Cha Dohyeon, looking much 28cb057f6f younger, was smiling down 3b0ae6459f at the camera as 7eb275385c if about to play 713d29d26f a prank. The faces of 2aa70e9a44 the others, with 3d1001e6dc the turquoise sea 7e92567145 behind them, were c4d8804e9e free of worries. Somehow the image 1e9b368dad of everyone gathered ceccc3ee68 together smiling felt 5879f3f5ad unreal.

0, 7, 1, 1. As Eunho slowly entered the passcode, the blue screen disappeared and neatly arranged icons appeared. He found and opened the app with a cookie icon. A list of update requests popped up, as if Dohyeon hadn’t opened it since playing together when first installing it. 0b8d2ae7a04c6c22

Eunho looked up from the phone to glare at Cha Dohyeon’s mocking tone. His tall frame leaned against the doorframe, standing on one leg. There was a playful glint in his eyes as he looked down. b328ef8983067f4b

177cm wasn’t short, but it also wasn’t tall enough to be dismissed like that. He was only 3cm away from 180cm, and still had potential to grow more as a teenager. Plus, he was considered quite tall in his class. 7e6e3068b69f7428

Eunho felt a flash of anger as all the thoughts that came to mind felt like excuses. Cha Dohyeon, who had already reached 185cm by middle school graduation, couldn’t understand how guys like him felt. 816f01a29525a0f7

Eunho threw the cushion he’d been leaning on, but Dohyeon easily caught it and shrugged. He really had a talent for pissing people off. 04fca651f13354fa

Eunho turned on 51693ef657 his side and 20198df7aa tapped the screen 3536ccc657 again.

Soon the main screen appeared with the most basic cookie character in the center. It was a low-level character with poor stats that he’d only used when he was broke, but seeing it again after a long time, its plain appearance was quite cute. 3c827e13191a570c

After claiming 7a6bdd4381 all the eac7c12f4b comeback gifts, 83e4cfbb25 Eunho entered 7b37ff3767 the item 8a74f1e144 inventory and 79aaad52e2 noticed a 9078f72509 full mailbox d78763e317 icon in 62fa8d5fba the upper 2a16888502 right corner.

That annoying bastard had a lot of friends. If they spent just a little time with him, they’d realize the huge gap between his decent-looking exterior and his actual personality. 0868785cf01cb0d0

It seemed there were quite a few people fooled by Cha Dohyeon’s sleek appearance and seemingly kind first impression. Eunho inwardly expressed his regret, clicking his tongue. ff4334df71cdb7df

Letting so many hearts go to waste was disrespectful to the people who had sent messages. Eunho checked Cha Dohyeon’s level, which was still stuck on the beginner island, and pressed the start button. He figured he might as well level up Cha Dohyeon’s account after all this time. 3f3b5337d37cb2e3

As the naked cookie 5abffbe64a ran forward alone without 6d394bfae6 any friends, Dohyeon came b553c912e6 out after changing clothes dfad982ccf and naturally opened the 5e55c64010 refrigerator.

Dohyeon glanced at Eunho 3c6f7f27fb lying in the living 5b26779501 room, then took out 4736801803 a 2-liter bottle of 5e9a085b34 water without asking further.

The plain bald cookie 6b2282958b moved a bit sluggishly, 48e974ad01 and it was frustrating ae44f262de not having any pets 758719d16e or upgraded items, requiring 1b5e47d840 caution each time. But since 1c7473f2c9 he had 5bf594b351 accumulated hearts 57f9de8f04 and time, f19dbb85d5 he felt a1c8b845e4 relaxed.

“Ah, just sit on the floor.” 78d6d563c04168a1

It seemed like an odd position for two grown men, but Eunho didn’t voice that thought. He wondered if Dohyeon’s increased skinship lately was due to his parents’ death anniversary approaching. 1b59970efddaac23

No matter how mature and calm Cha Dohyeon seemed, he was still only 19 years old. Even if he was close to Eunho’s family, he couldn’t feel the stability that real family provides. e5ba789e1029c4e0

Moreover, his only sister f2e7fc61d8 often traveled abroad for 0c19170ff3 business, so Dohyeon spent c69333fe0a most of his time f0920382c3 alone. 5217c55eae932384

Thinking of Dohyeon’s parents who died in an accident left a bitter taste in Eunho’s mouth. It had already been 2 years, during their first year of high school, since the kind couple passed away in a car crash. 4fe2429670bc2e9f

At the time, Dohyeon, who was in the same class as Eunho, was called to the teachers’ office during class. He returned with a pale face, hurriedly packed his bag and left. 8a2a7ed2aaac5c57

By the time the news finally reached Eunho, and he raced to the hospital during his break, he found Dohyeon standing in the hallway, his face like carved stone as he held his sister. It had been a massive pile-up on the highway, happening while Dohyeon’s parents were away celebrating their wedding anniversary. They passed away instantly at the scene. f6a4bf2f9d30a843

Eunho’s family stayed at the funeral home for the entire three days . Despite Dohyeon’s sister’s objections, Eunho also remained by Dohyeon’s side in black clothes for all three days. abe158e3d48876e4

Dohyeon didn’t stay sad for long and quickly regained his spirits. Since Dohyeon’s sister ran a fairly large company, there were no financial issues either. Though things could never be the same, Dohyeon slowly reclaimed his daily life. c580d38d5cc02198

During that period, Eunho also treated Dohyeon with a gentler attitude. It wasn’t out of sympathy. He just realized that even the capable, mature Dohyeon was just a kid like himself. But people don’t change easily, as evidenced by Eunho’s personality returning after a few months. Humans truly are fickle creatures. 28630682edfe908b

Just then, the words “Game Over” appeared over the crying cookie on the screen. Eunho turned off the display. 5712f6ba1c6cdde7

Thinking about that time suddenly made him lose interest in playing. Plus, Dohyeon’s thigh under his calf was firm and high, making it very uncomfortable. Whether aware of Eunho’s feelings or not, Dohyeon just kept slowly turning the pages of his book. bdf03613dfd97956

Eunho placed Dohyeon’s phone on the table and picked up the remote to turn on the TV. The room was instantly filled with the sound of laughter. He didn’t have any particular show he wanted to watch, but nothing caught his interest either, so he just kept pressing the channel button. d74d07f827689b92

Eunho stopped on 69a6d55e4e the channel showing 033ae334bf the most popular dff31b7194 drama these days 1975aa64c5 as he watched 1269d99aec the scenes change 4c61063237 without much interest.

The woman in 7858ef89ae a sharply tailored 5f2dac9856 suit climbed on 6b8966e094 top of the b285281d9d man. As she pushed 0d60e0c921 the seated man e1ff22a4e0 backwards and kissed 9c3438f3b6 him, tense background c1678dcd7c music began to df32c50e83 play. 17a381091e20c610

Cha Dohyeon was reading a book with an indifferent expression, as if uninterested in the suggestive scene between the man and woman on TV. Whether it was because Dohyeon’s hands were colder than average or because Eunho’s body temperature had risen from briefly watching the sensual scene, the hand resting on his calf suddenly felt foreign. 2b4f8ea9689a1b9e

The atmosphere intensified dc5c2dc06c as the nearly 838d0212b6 shirtless man switched dc83a51c82 positions with the a281b7b120 woman who had 3af5b3af90 been on top. A close-up shot of 0543ba9583 their lips parting filled eafe427932 the screen. a29239df615b0683

Dohyeon looked up with e5ecc00126 a bewildered expression at fff3655abc the sudden question. Eunho took the opportunity 94c8f9eb1d to lower the volume fa575b3607 by two notches.

Eunho felt a sense of self-loathing as he spouted the kind of talk that would normally come from guys like Kim Gunwoo. But he realized he’d never heard Dohyeon talk about relationships before. 11de759c2809774f

He’d occasionally heard rumors that so-and-so had confessed to Dohyeon again, or that he’d gotten a girl’s number from another school. But Dohyeon himself had never mentioned dating anyone. bc74280ddbc1ef36

“Yeo Eunho, you act all grown up, but you’re still just a kid.” ae79b89acfd0abcb

His tone was clearly amused. While it wasn’t wrong since Eunho lacked experience, the mocking undertone was irritating. Eunho lifted his foot and kicked Dohyeon’s thigh hard. It didn’t seem to have much impact, as the dull thud was drowned out by Dohyeon’s chuckling. bdd3f37e5a3c20b3

Eunho was starting to 18e37a6b99 get frustrated with the b0ed740a78 evasive answers. He usually tuned 0d585d4b91 out when guys 668d458c76 like Kim Gunwoo 5fcdcc57d0 or Seo Jaewon 181afa954c talked about this 74a8799ffe stuff, but hearing 2712986645 it from Cha 4e8b21014e Dohyeon made him 9d4292db9b badly curious. a2f013b405d496ce

“If you’re so curious, why don’t you try it yourself?” 7b579e0bef64f8dc

Eunho turned to a48c7e1b17 look at Dohyeon, 5291a038d4 who had a 055208b8eb strange tone. He was 14e89e4b9f smiling with ec9adaac1f his eyes 26fb74d935 still fixed e13dbd69d5 on the dbc8ac809f book, which 912f9026d5 was annoying 058fd977b9 as usual. e2969aacfd8c8db2

After tossing out that irresponsible comment, Dohyeon leaned forward to reach for his phone on the table. This caused Dohyeon’s stomach to press against Eunho’s calf. His whole body seemed to be solid muscle – every part that made contact felt firm. 64deeada6eae9505

Dohyeon snickered mockingly, but 35602395dc Eunho had no retort. What an a68298d290 annoying bastard. Eunho grumbled quietly. 1ed7f91e6612b3fc

The sensual scene d40c4b7020 must have ended, ff7bd777af as the screen c34edd6669 now showed office e2422ac028 workers. Eunho glanced 97712b8a88 sideways at b2b4524bd5 Cha Dohyeon, da31b99441 who was bd759d7d1e fiddling with 8acee2b6ac his phone 97b510181e and giving edd3168a79 half-hearted responses. It seemed fee0fd91fa he had 5bbb0bee91 no intention c8b3b11fc1 of actually 28b0022c5f answering anything. 175c39d01df109cf

Pouting his lips, Eunho lay still watching the actors having a serious conversation amongst themselves, then used the remote to change the channel. Scenes flashed by in quick cuts – a news anchor with a grave expression, people sitting in a circle laughing and chatting, appetizing food on a home shopping channel. d33e9799c47b1ee6

There really wasn’t much worth watching on Sunday mornings. Eunho turn off the TV . The house fell into silence. a7c2341c28c57603

The sun had 394d47e078 moved at some aaf8a314ec point, casting long 7913a53f6f shadows into the 4455940a40 living room. It was a lazy, a01eefe87c boring weekend. 7571523ab4ac6b91

Eunho put down the remote and stretched out his arms and legs while still lying down. Dohyeon’s thigh was firmly pressed underneath. 1a6f30feac895bb0

‘He doesn’t seem to work out much these days. I guess muscles don’t disappear easily once you build them? Maybe I should exercise too.’ ba6bc888f1e70e70

As Eunho was 942a93f7c7 lost in idle effdd8dde2 thoughts, Dohyeon suddenly b1338ed8d1 pushed his legs cfc90c2b5b aside and stood e1b6fa8c4b up. He headed straight for 0e2702bbce the kitchen, which seemed f6bb65d10f rather suspicious. 2c3f41a18b241a5a

“Hey, what’s the deal? Protesting that I’m heavy?” 460822469bb18607

“Stop talking nonsense and let’s eat lunch. Want some ramen?” 9a259095ae63a2d5

Dohyeon bent 3a9d38c63c down to af9187bed7 rummage through c23d8aa21c the lower 5919b35ec9 kitchen cabinets. His voice 2897afd59f sounded normal, a6e0886354 so Eunho 36f8c9aa10 tilted his d12c820b47 head back 0c06b57668 again and c8b126c513 relaxed. cc83373214405b55

“Fine by me.” 61c80d29be93520e

Muttering that someone who can’t even cook shouldn’t be offering ramen, Eunho reached for his phone to open a delivery app. But he couldn’t quite reach the middle of the table. His feet wouldn’t reach either, and it was too bothersome to lift his waist. 9fe335a25e22b45e

After flailing his hand e8a6ef5f72 a few times, Eunho e8d9414a59 gave up and decided fe8e19cb3a to just wait for 7ab52112e4 Cha Dohyeon to return. As he stared 07f35dae54 blankly at the dbc27ea914 ceiling, the sunlight a7e78f3ac3 falling on the 51de8b0c94 sofa made his c2e086fc83 legs feel ticklish. A peaceful atmosphere b3bcfe01d7 permeated the house. Eunho wanted to a960a32755 take a quick fe558ec6f7 nap. d8220b356a510d6a

Dohyeon seemed to 39748aac92 be clattering around f38bdf7897 in the kitchen e446e540e5 before heading into 58eb1ffc65 the bathroom. The sound of 3639ffb10b running water leaked 0e5508ca44 faintly through the c2dd8b4bfe closed door. He must be 686204496a washing up, as 87ce0a3057 the sound continued 7a43ede70b for quite a 7f59bc42c8 while. 6915ceaa7f4d592c

Eunho lay sprawled on d58571e4e3 the sofa with his 24932f300a arms raised, eyes closed. The soft 89424ce171 hum of 9a79a41dd6 the nearby 18fe6b1a8b air conditioner fcbd2126db blended with a394326dca the distant 6dc27ce1ef sound of 4d062807c0 running water e5ca406ce8 like white 6f7836e661 noise. 5e1cfe234c4e1340

‘I should tell Cha Dohyeon to order the chicken. That picky eater will probably want to get plain fried chicken again… If he says boneless, I really ought to… Wait, what’s taking him so long in there anyway…’ bc6772df58590ebf

His consciousness 408ed0b739 gradually faded 73a13d2da5 under the 33ff3c35dd lazy summer 4ec88c2df9 sunlight. Eunho drifted off into 49336be72d a light sleep. The continuous sound of 12e8906f77 water from the bathroom 14527f8059 grew distant before abruptly f8f88d104f cutting off. 9200c1f31fc8bf0c
