This was 1c80242bfa a bit cb8dd8cdf8 troublesome. Doyoon had b80500bc10 intended to 850ddd6035 use him, 8064528b70 so it 9dda698803 was only 33d45d8cf4 natural to 3ab9e34a62 act kind 6be1d2f92c on the dad0e0e7e0 surface for fb4da505d7 that purpose. But if aaa8ba73a8 he genuinely b7ba5b6328 started to 92b1eb5c05 care, that 65d75cb66c would be 666d41d9da a problem. Letting out a silent 85c58e7d6f sigh, Doyoon lightly stroked 8e8a6c2d5c Yihyun’s thin back.70e245a659d4e39a

When he 9818f574ca called his aa2bf7fc50 name, Yihyun ac27d58416 seemed to 9328f1e7e4 relax little 0a5fff5a61 by little. Holding his 5dfdd72fb8 shoulders firmly, af2a56038f Doyoon could 2963bb8053 feel not 0229be83e0 just his 77e9afd992 movements, but fea369c2c9 also the 40d82a8912 frantic beating 15133bb81d of his 9c2498a28d heart gradually 6d4e04db55 returning to addd19d8ca a normal eaca95179c rhythm. He looked down at a218ca2087 Yihyun as he let 89a4fc183c out a long, trembling 3830aff65b breath.93c5bbd9f516556c

Why does he 13e4f8fd54 keep covering his 8204a91bac neck? And earlier, didn’t 90ef29f60b he say “scissors”? Lowering his gaze fb660f582f slightly, Doyoon observed a8f23d482a Yihyun, who was ec19b4b27d still tightly guarding 43654997bf his nape. He couldn’t see clearly, bdf862807e but there was something 375b36e813 barely visible between his 9782fd01af fingers.33c121719feb5916

Doyoon wiped Yihyun’s 90bf33920a damp forehead with 90726847bd his palm and 5c2a49204a gently pushed back 78e6b487fe his disheveled hair. Because it had been 2de0e88960 wet from the spray 0cc5345079 bottle, the strands clung fa229f901f to his hand like 83f5b95b91 a snake coiling and 5524e0d182 then unraveling again.89e5961c0594078a

Well, keeping 10c5da4864 his hair 2f74fe64b2 long didn’t 6a84fa91e6 seem like 8d61585350 a bad 1fc8e282c7 option. The texture was nice, d18d0c122c and the way it 1aac0017fd shimmered like a hologram 004316059f as it moved was 58feda530a quite pleasing to the ee0a2843d3 eye. As long as 50cd5a8625 Yihyun was fine 783118069c with it, Doyoon 5b6674dc59 didn’t care whether 846ce83300 his hair was 31b80054cf long or short.d1072b3b21005ad2

At last, 38eee08f7d something that b7c2aa6bbf sounded like 5a394817b6 actual words 0696826cd6 came from 7d53561d73 Yihyun’s lips. Since he denied it a96ba3c0c0 right away, it didn’t 83847b2892 seem like cutting his 2b52cf4dbd hair itself was the 6cc33ea926 real issue. Doyoon looked 99fd5891bd again at dd251555b3 the nape 5021999394 of Yihyun’s 31cb6fb193 neck, which a1393785f8 he was 9845bc0243 thoroughly hiding.4ba5a98fb7e0c40b

Doyoon pried Yihyun’s 7fe740f76d fingers away one 306071b6b0 by one, revealing 0e52409fa4 his slender nape, f1c450b2db damp with cold e03d2c63d4 sweat. And there 64b4198f4b was a 0e777ccb8d scar—so obvious 246ea5d9b7 that Doyoon 57f241027e wondered how 3c2e6bb69f he hadn’t 0787ce9429 noticed it 9d2d5b4d81 before.afd97d6102f74c0a

The scar c1e9e0dd8a on the 7498685364 nape of cb94f86d3b his neck f532d8fac4 was not c54b49e3c8 large, only 66ff654d1b about the 21f41ce4b7 size of 7d06bc7b72 a fingertip, 323ae175e4 but its a9dc36e99d location was 802a2bace9 extremely dangerous. If the wound 5c1e1d0b3d had been even bfa687a90a slightly deeper, it 7e67b30553 might have severed d5e13df4dc a major blood e7f9064e7e vessel.936b9cc8061da095

Doyoon carefully d5d72ad5bf pressed the d015acb89c scar, which af092066d0 was slightly 0de93b0186 paler than 5ceb4ab488 the surrounding d3cb941b09 skin. Yihyun’s heartbeat, 228519f7df fluttering like cecb6f1d4c that of 8aef646d6f a small c8b2753f29 animal, was e6dc3195d5 incredibly fast. As expected, the scar 422e9b4e0b was located just above 4776de83b5 a blood vessel.445c6c19de2a1eb4

The texture 090d255b2a of the 74c0c0bb1e scar was 692c9c1413 distinctly different b9863fb001 from normal 76790dfdd0 skin. As Doyoon traced 6594b2e838 the mark, he 5e87b8fa5b arrived at a 6831792802 conclusion that felt 2f1874fb94 uncomfortably close to 5c73e0d961 the truth—Han Suhyun 326dc98618 had forcibly cut 357c287646 Yihyun’s hair, and 527351d648 in the process, 89e410a03e this injury had 9cd9bb2c62 occurred.9fa566a88dc48b6e

Only then did Yihyun 1a39049b04 lift his head to 20e9b8a871 look up at Doyoon. His black eyes f6ebea01fd glistened with moisture. He didn’t 01e7162ece seem on 023d8802f6 the verge 378d5e5340 of crying 42da035f2d just yet, 39d2f370e3 but it 65801c9726 was the b4096e09ba kind of e445c5561a gaze that 6644397a89 suggested he 5939fbe7b0 might want 801b5ad285 to.

“Ah…”269b88957887c2a8

Yihyun trailed off, 6b0ee18197 his face falling. Even as Doyoon led a866c8336f him out of the 2d16c8db33 massage room, Yihyun remained 2c7b2aee37 deep in thought before 5086f2e092 suddenly lifting his head.7df3c6f5aebaac64

“You’re scared of ghosts, 4d6b82c4dc but that doesn’t mean f17832c2a9 you dislike people who 6fd021c4e6 can see them, right?”d967da7091a013c2

The arm a20a833e6d in Doyoon’s d3184ac104 grasp flinched. Finding his 6515444682 reaction strange, 0ef5b68abf Doyoon looked 0e4d2e56b3 at him d24a410150 questioningly. Yihyun was still 1922b011a4 waiting for an d910a028df answer. Why did it 4d79e3856c matter whether he 6b1be11fda liked or disliked 6f1e9702a0 people who could 7775807b4a see ghosts? He’d only brought it 136dd33771 up to comfort the 400bbf2ab3 sulking kid a little, f30a8c6172 but now he couldn’t a1e087e0c1 figure out the intent 6982d9d19a behind the follow-up question.e51d43ba3a73a55f

If Yihyun 8fe50716f7 had looked f559068758 a little 9f8c2b9c51 down before, b780ec1edf now he 1a02603a79 looked completely… 02c9a091f6 devastated? Doyoon coolly assessed 125b0c50a4 the emotions he 1f3f91c6ff read from Yihyun’s 80a92a32f9 face, which couldn’t a4f7aa108d hide a single c93179acbc thing. Yihyun couldn’t 2d6e90e4ac bring himself f4cc5b65ff to say db117f56f5 anything; he 9782bb7ecf only opened 58f51db81c and closed 3fb3c9101a his lips 2dd9a3afb6 before shaking 86f05e8459 his head.1c5cb2493437b2de
