It was a rare holiday. No classes, no assignments due, no Han Jaeha. A true holiday. After waking, Seo Hamin groped around and lifted his phone. His eyes opened wide when he saw the time. The whole morning had passed. Is the phone broken? He stared at the numbers in disbelief. He thought he felt refreshed, but he never imagined he had slept this long. And by three o’clock, Han Jaeha’s class ended. Relaxing hours meant only about one remained. He stood up with regret and opened the fridge.…- 160.1 K • Completed
- What exactly was Jaeha thinking? If thoughts spilled out when a person’s skull split apart, he might have wanted to dismantle his head at least once. Well… maybe. No, could that really happen? He had a perfectly fine studio nearby, yet Han Hamin crouched in the cramped driver’s seat, his mood unsettled. Few people passed this place, yet the act itself leaned close to crime. He recalled Jaeha’s voice, his breath tickling his nape as he whispered into his ear. ‘I want to try it in…

- “The meat tastes best when you flip it only once, you clueless commoner.” “What nonsense. You need to flip it several times and cook it thoroughly.” “Click, click. You never even worked part-time at a barbecue place, what would you know?” “Hand me the tongs, you parasite host.” The ruckus that started from nothing ended only when Hamin quietly raised his hand, received another tong, and placed it in someone else’s hand. Was doing a single assignment always this…

- “Where did the two of them go? Ah! They sneaked off for a smoke?” “…Restroom.” He figured they probably wouldn’t come back anytime soon, but explaining felt like a hassle so he gave a short answer. He watched Han Jaeha’s face. He looked more relaxed than expected. He thought he’d return looking more nervous, but he looked almost relieved. That made his own body go limp. Only then did he realize he had been just as nervous as Han Jaeha. So what she said was right. It really feels…

- The world looked strange. Nineteen or twenty, only difference lay in school uniform gone. One counted as adult, the other still minor. Now, Jaeha realized how childish early twenties felt. “Well, young master arrived.” “Ugh. Hey. Stop it, people will hear.” “Let them hear. Though who knows if he will even speak with commoners like us.” Was that guy really same age as him? Jaeha passed by Woojin, who was sneering at him, and sat down. After the card incident, Choi Woojin seemed to…

- He got into Han Jaeha’s car with a complicated feeling. Jaeha knew he wasn’t in a good mood, so he kept watching him, but there was nothing suitable to say in return, so he forced himself to look away. He picked up his phone without reason and checked the messenger. A few group chats that he had now grown used to sat at the top of the list. One belonged to Kim Hyunwoo, grumbling about when they would finally meet. Another belonged to Kwon Doyoung, whose conversations never held any clear topic.…

- “Does this make sense? I bought side dishes and got slapped?” “Does it make sense to call a senior at this hour?” “Why is he doing this to me? Do you know how much his grandma likes me?” Why is he really doing this to me? After Hamin ignored his messages several times, Kwon Doyoung switched to phone calls, and that made him sigh with annoyance. The college entrance exam stood right in front of him, yet Doyoung kept talking about vegetables. “What did you get on the September…

- “Why are you so late!?” “It would be strange if we weren’t late with how many cars there are on the road.” “You should have flown here.” He ignored the nonsense and put the bags down. The sea was visible through the wide glass wall in the living room. He stepped closer and laid his palm on the pane. The glass looked so clear he thought he might walk straight through. “Beautiful, right? Seoryeong found this place.” “Good choice.” “Price too, it’s cheap! Only…

- “If I had known they would cause this much trouble, I don’t think I would have come.” Han Jaeha whispered with unfiltered sincerity. Hamin also agreed with the words and nodded. They played in the water by accident, then returned and ate meat, the mood had not been bad, until Koo Chaewook insisted they had to finish the soju he had bought and kept pestering the others, it had been fine. Jaeha, who had to drive the next day, refused. Hamin, who never enjoyed drinking, flipped his glass over. In…

- The next day, when they returned to the pension, the three were still fast asleep. One was sprawled across the bathroom floor, another drooped over the veranda, and Hamin wasn’t sure if it could even be called sleeping, but in any case, that was how they were. He shook them in turn, forcing them awake, and they returned to Seoul. Even when they covered their mouths and pleaded, Han Jaeha told them to take the train, but because Koo Chaewook seized his trouser legs, in the end they had no choice but to…
