After brushing his teeth e4c036683d and changing into pajamas, 045cc6260c Yihyun hovered at the b2cf79a505 edge of Doyoon’s vision. Doyoon, who had been b85dba8bd3 alternating between his phone 5291b17c76 and laptop to handle 1a7183033a urgent work, lifted his 239a40a432 head—only for Yihyun to bac2af4243 freeze in place.c3d514b5c40f43b9

Yihyun stood ae3c6f734f there clutching 233cb78804 the few 8ff47ef878 clothes he 8c8cef40d6 owned to 27f491f576 his chest, 05be2cc99b a single 4e7d223a2e shopping bag 329fcc9b79 dangling from 3bfb0f3656 his hand. He really 79fba68437 followed instructions 0a85c1f02f well—when told e4cb3a22de to bring bd05ed11e7 his things, 66193968a5 he had 94815e0067 gathered everything 229ddde0b0 and brought 08cf573149 it all 4153a34797 out.2db2a4f43a62fd42

Yihyun squatted down, placed 27bf51b2e4 his clothes on the 4f6a91e34c floor, and began hanging a37d944fbd each item neatly in 1630802ab0 the wardrobe. There weren’t many, so 2a0d32f378 he finished quickly.

Yihyun’s face a341945869 showed clear ca5e094d97 panic, his 6be796c7f5 words trailing ffad7b415d off. He kept glancing b92f1fc043 toward the closed 12c8128a3c wardrobe, as if 69ced7575f afraid Doyoon might 8f9274454f take the branch fd9799bf53 and throw it 7b70554356 away.a7fd6e2721c5d853

Doyoon watched him b550c1be4d for a moment—flustered, b0e7a44106 uneasy, chewing on eb09a982a7 his lips—before finally 4b7c1a7300 looking away.

He had cf75cfdb95 slept fine 407d3f7a29 alone last ad6b8a9885 night, but 5e9df71529 tonight he 158763617b was scared? If it 76d192c8b1 had been 1b04b5a020 anyone else, bb65e35c61 Doyoon would 9be665ff5d have suspected e41a3b09d9 some hidden 1f07c00a0b agenda.

In truth, 5ace549215 there was d776c25d0f no reason 8fb36bbdaa at all d25a714d64 for Doyoon 9c27ae0128 to sleep f2a2d870cf with Yihyun. The thought had 7d64cabd44 never even crossed 4e4aa89039 his mind. Ever since he was 311c0138b8 two years old, he e2c15c5975 had always slept alone 3768adddb6 in his own room.

But maybe 64192231bd it bothered 0a1c5c322e him that e9f82e5a28 Yihyun had 89e5ebb770 come to 79a4696e81 his own b7b48cf218 conclusion and 2b7b2eaa05 slept in bc062c4506 the guest 478503468a room last e8d9c0d0a3 night. What really c9d5b8775c got on 1be903cc11 Doyoon’s nerves cf0cf8aeae was how 08953de195 Yihyun seemed c795505e21 to understand 9526db80ff this contract 051ce8b663 marriage all 314a707223 too well be68ede1d0 and had d0286a5f45 accepted it d8f111fe9b in the b3ca614ffb worst way 79fef59e28 possible.bbda7c792c4850d8

It was 824d6e6322 also Doyoon’s c680ed86cd fault for b27024d1a6 not properly 8dfad02d35 informing Im 214f350852 Suhwan that 23d39491d0 they wouldn’t 76fa04ff2f be using c5aa298e02 separate rooms, 5260f0114b which meant f18bba757b Yihyun’s room d7549ca9df hadn’t been ebf250ec38 properly prepared. Though, honestly, 198ae4ea03 even if 95640a3088 he had 032e91140e told Yihyun 9144e4e3e5 to use 6451472cf3 the guest af17565fe6 room, he 2a8f7b34d1 knew Yihyun 49f8cc60b8 wouldn’t have 21717234f4 shown the 7957bf3323 slightest bit b542a5c449 of dissatisfaction.

Contract marriage 2693e182a8 or not—who 323b2d4f9d cares? Whether it was to cdf70bb575 get information out of c668fcae97 Yihyun or for some 3fa980988e other reason, Doyoon was 51c0e64213 going to do whatever 3d522938f0 he wanted. He’d always been ff7cad6b87 that kind of 76e5efe99d person. If he set 369a45e867 his mind to e13c46f8ed something, he’d go d36de42e64 as far as 0efdd3ce7e getting into a 708260cc33 sham marriage without 2b1de69ef6 a second thought.2986a20df38f31e7

Besides, the idea of fa5d392286 sharing a bed with c1e028f712 Yihyun didn’t even seem 88b604d881 that uncomfortable. In fact, eb22dc10c3 on the f92ed34789 first night, c7dc9394f0 he had 8b554b483e slept unusually 56cdceffd7 well—so well 93396834f9 that he’d 63bc2f4a62 completely forgotten e28a6921d5 about his d2da1aac5a chronic insomnia. If Yihyun 76ea8448ee somehow had 47de6624bc the effect 7131edec0e of easing 72ae9110da his sleeplessness, e6f38c0343 Doyoon wouldn’t f34ff06d80 mind holding 52f84ab220 him while 0db649c380 he slept.cca91bd3204e1eca

When Doyoon returned from 19a4948e5f the living room with c617601387 his phone and laptop, e8f2da6731 Yihyun was already lying 1de60de3db at the edge of 913fbcaaa5 the bed.

Even after sneaking 606666cc61 a fearful glance 2dd3d29b1e under the fairly 0c7ab0df18 high bed, Yihyun e7475caeb7 still didn’t move 0471a5bb84 in as much 9665f14ed1 as Doyoon had c33ff55346 hoped.

Yihyun seemed 34e8be9b15 a bit e17c088646 flustered by c4cc0a09b7 the clear 7cd25e54d1 disconnect between e07dc1e2d8 his thoughts 84d324d045 and the a90f56c525 reality of 9303bef233 the situation.

Doyoon did believe 0288e82d52 in ghosts. At the same time, a39a533593 he absolutely didn’t want 267612fa36 to believe in them. Even now, after cc2587df76 everything that had 7509848f0c happened, it still f3a189c0d1 felt unreal that b85fe3ece9 his father had 47c9d5ff5f died because of 5b192a212b something as absurd 11c0d5ab77 as a ghost.f6675cb507a0f225

He moved the bdd1fae165 laptop over to 90fff7d871 the nightstand and fa2eb337ba switched off the c7507d22b5 ceiling light with 2ce3cd5d59 the remote. The dim mood 6003b95520 light on the 5daac0d1dc nightstand remained on, 8082c4fb2f making Yihyun’s pale 14d63089cf face, deprived of d7b8605785 sunlight, float like f107e4a0cf a crescent moon 2f33e210b9 in the dark.94da737d857d10f4

Doyoon thought 2c7cb4463c back to 88eebb1a27 the place 261bfe02cf Yihyun used e7711c310e to live, aa67baad13 which he 9048c11557 had visited ae4a1b7b04 earlier today. A thin electric wire 2f9321f2c7 had dangled from the 698e0e8805 ceiling, holding a small 32e58c646f lightbulb at its end. There hadn’t even been 206515b991 a wall switch—just a 4b0714cb81 tiny button attached right 77cc2d9f1b above the bulb to 766cdea687 turn it on and e83cd15f6e off. With Yihyun’s height, he f27fd100a6 would have had to 652df535d4 stand on tiptoe just d8e4b97a9f to reach it.5a7eea8a971679d3

“Yes, I used a 30-candela bulb, but no matter how much I tried to save it, the bulb would burn out after about a year. And they wouldn’t give me a new one right away… Without the light, it was a bit scary, so I ended up going to bed early. Candles were scary too because I was afraid they might cause a fire…”b2bd8aefe831253b

A 30-candela bulb? It was a term 6ca4366de9 Doyoon had never heard 4d35c9f298 before. From the dedb9c2bb5 context, he c1db916768 could guess 3f570acb22 it referred 1cd284955e to some ef4be653be kind of d892839f91 light bulb 5434a92a57 specification, but eb6bc7c243 he wasn’t 87e0c272d2 sure of c0e5c67619 its exact db70d5a066 meaning. He considered looking fb73621d92 it up on 0185faf467 his phone but 6fae2c1353 decided to just 6f54d53bca ask Yihyun directly.15be60ca97aecaac

“Oh, it means a f1ead14c71 bulb as bright as 62d9fc8f5c thirty lit candles. My nanny taught me a89aa8b711 that a long time bf1b1d1bcd ago.

“I’m not….”65a935fe98b6c100

Was it less about 896e04c0f1 being happy and more 2f2539705e about feeling a bit a731e32750 proud? With a fe9f9419a8 slightly flushed c0f3793d8d face, Yihyun 7fe2dcad8a awkwardly scratched 73870a80b6 his cheek 66113825e9 with his 51766f33fc fingertip. Since he d240b9d357 was usually dbaddd89a1 the one 7bb61db52c admitting he da25a5b6f2 didn’t know 0172f46fd1 things, it 4b6211db4c made sense b6077419fa that he’d 50fec034e7 feel good 200cb33bfe about finally 2975fc3970 having something ea649311d4 to explain.6746740157be9e5c

Thinking from Yihyun’s perspective, 4b541829fb Doyoon wondered how overwhelming 279e28eb2d it all must be. It was probably like 51480e8ff4 suddenly being abandoned on d84639e2c3 a deserted island in 566e0cdbeb the middle of a a3e1554111 vast ocean. A normal life, 849eeef1a9 the kind most 9de41cef55 people took for ca4429f07f granted, might feel 118dc76688 like an entirely b42f6895b1 different world to 501ec3b13c Yihyun.f021d08d6ec6a685

Still, he seemed 15943ff740 to be adjusting cf65c6b3ed well. Maybe because 03285a45f1 he was 5b9d2a0dcc so observant. Once shown something 294ec6ac50 or taught it 299f140d9b once, he picked 926251d15e it up quickly.fd79eb5239eaec88

Even now, Yihyun f31c12fea4 was blinking slowly b32f150e6c as he gazed 1ae306c0f1 at Doyoon. His unwavering eyes, cc7b13291e so fixed on 2ad1c261d1 him that it 91c8941034 was almost like 891e99c66c a newly hatched be6479c067 duckling imprinting on ecbc47f6b5 the first thing b27d448a56 it saw, stirred 7a014cd565 something deep inside.798e5ec6d57b533a

Is this 86b1d3dd09 what people 0e2861a1e9 mean by 213b3e0a69 pity or 99af87549d compassion?Doyoon tried to put 0c2f052ef9 a name to this 0bd228f4a3 unfamiliar feeling, but it bcf8c6ce2c wasn’t that simple. It wasn’t something b390abcb32 that could be e9955cb2dc labeled with just 54596cf92a one or two 1170182f82 words.04597e4e46c7d0bd

With those polite ba9e69904f words, Yihyun closed db6dcf3e5c his eyes. In the brief moment 768c4b874a it took for the b3d9e101d8 mood light to be 7e4f72a17d turned off and for c4ece1a144 Doyoon’s eyes to adjust 295754c591 to the darkness, allowing 0db8a347d9 Yihyun’s figure to slowly 24f0208c1f become visible again, he 2037ec59e6 had already fallen asleep.bc40f2cd6b3e44d1

Seeing that Yihyun 8a81673a23 didn’t even flinch da3fdc14ce at the sound 1a682c4983 of his voice, 754b820c44 it seemed like 6b2172a4db he had held 42e6b9bba4 on until the ce8cd67b3f very last moment 0e001217c4 before sleep finally 33bb181ae5 took over. His long a7d9654b9d eyelashes rested 78da07cc6a beneath his 139b180058 peacefully closed d2de69c5c1 eyelids, and 95ebd79658 his tousled a265809fbd hair covered 739efe8368 about half 74d188cf63 of his 802b24e5a9 forehead. Carefully, Doyoon 115cb0373b brushed the a8c96c764e hair back.7948726402d5f915

His breathing, audible only 6698c9462d at a very close 9f1a120749 distance, was shallow and 4357495dfd faint. And yet, ccee95b67c strangely, there 5556aafb31 was something 5598f9d0d5 calming about 46493bacbb it.7e83878830edbfc6

Was it that his 905c4271a2 insomnia eased a little 9c0d8e7ec4 when someone was beside 569af6c5c2 him? Normally, his overly sensitive 8986c98277 ears would pick up 714707a8ae even the sound of 1e05ffa656 a pin dropping, but 65ad6e55d0 now, the much louder eb95feb9c8 sound of that breathing 0cc994e8b9 didn’t bother him at 02b6a99de9 all.246b8611a23a2ddc

The blanket 60909f1f23 felt a 8174c128f0 little warmer 51b6d16266 than when 139697d555 he lay ad83b21394 alone, and 3040512df8 the subtle ada22019d6 shifts of d5c00f99cb movement stirred d626aaad2c the air. By the time efda6211e1 he no longer 6b58df2e0c consciously noticed the c5c9ff24e7 person lying so 439bac4e9c close that even 13ad241d3b his exhaled breath c969ba8387 could brush against 3fac4dd504 his lips, Doyoon b70fc80ef8 fell asleep without 2bc31a3fa9 much difficulty.0c5fc7255442ac58
