Yeonho forced himself to finish reading the book just before the cafe closed. It wasn’t difficult to understand, but he still didn’t like it. He couldn’t agree with the ideas it contained. Of course, there was nothing wrong with the fact that Siwoo liked such content. That wasn’t the issue. What broke his heart was that he couldn’t embrace something Siwoo loved. If he truly loved him, why couldn’t he accept something so small? He threw the book away on the way home. He was feeling guilty.…-

When Siwoo first told him about the overseas business trip, Yeonho was nothing but cheerful. “I’ll be fine. Of course I won’t be able to sleep a wink without you. But I’m used to going a few days without sleep. That won’t kill me.” Siwoo followed behind as Yeonho carried laundry from the dryer. “I’m worried.” “I’m more worried about you. Without me, you get anxiety. Just promise me you won’t die and come back alive.” Yeonho set the laundry on the couch, then turned…-

Yeonho stared silently at Park Jihyun’s face on the screen and tried to steady his breath. Had he not gone abroad with Siwoo after all? Yeonho struggled to decide how to interpret and respond to Park Jihyun’s appearance. For now, he felt a small sense of relief knowing the man wasn’t currently with Siwoo. At the same time, he grew tense, unsure of what the man had come to say without Siwoo present. Yeonho decided he would respond according to how Park Jihyun behaved. Taking his time, he walked…-

Overwhelmed by a sudden wave of anxiety, Yeonho started biting at his fingers. Even though there was no real reason to think so, the idea that Siwoo’s parents might try to harm him while Siwoo and his mother were away on their business trip clung to him. He told himself that Park Jihyun had probably just said something thoughtlessly in a moment of anger, but even so, it felt like something entirely plausible. Siwoo’s parents must despise him to the point of wanting him dead. In their minds, it was…-

After work, Yeonho visited a law office with his father. When he mentioned that he wanted to draft and notarize a will, his father didn’t open the car door and sat still. “A will? All of a sudden? You’re still so young. Don’t scare Dad like that.” He had used the word “Dad” without thinking. It was the first time since graduating elementary school that he had said it. Once Yeonho entered middle school and began calling him “Father” to create some distance, the man followed suit,…-

For a moment, it felt like his mind had been bleached blank. His face burned even hotter than the phone he had clutched for hours. Was Park Jihyun telling the truth after all? Had Siwoo remembered something between them? Or had he simply been drunk and succumbed to desire? It felt like all the trust and belief he had built was collapsing, but then, just as quickly, he found his footing again. The pain was so intense it numbed his ability to feel it. His thoughts shifted into survival mode, dulling the…-

Siwoo couldn’t believe his ears. Did he just say sorry? Was that word really coming out of Yeonho’s mouth? He wrapped his arms around Yeonho’s small, curled-up body and pulled him back onto his thigh. “Why are you apologizing? I didn’t say that to make you feel guilty. This isn’t something you should be sorry for.” ‘I didn’t want to make you feel that way.’ That was what Yeonho had said to him a moment ago. It wasn’t just Yeonho, Siwoo felt the same. He didn’t want Yeonho…-

He arrived at the office a little earlier than usual. Instead of getting out of the car right away, Yeonho checked the dashcam. He had set it to keep recording even while parked after work yesterday. At the time, he had thought that Siwoo might return with Park Jihyun. Since Siwoo always parked his car as close to Yeonho’s as possible, there was a chance the dashcam might capture them together. He had acted on impulse, despite knowing he wouldn’t be able to bear seeing the two of them with his own…-

Overwhelmed with emotion, Yeonho suddenly sat up and pinched Siwoo’s cheeks with both hands as he sobbed uncontrollably. Finally managing to break through Yeonho’s emotional dam, Siwoo accepted the fists that rained down on his shoulders without resistance. He licked away the tears that dropped onto his lips and said, “Was it really that hard to make Joo Yeonho cry?” With his tears, Yeonho’s long-suppressed feelings came pouring out. “I hate you. I hate Kim Siwoo so much I could…-

Judging from Yeonho’s mother’s reaction, it didn’t seem like he had done anything to disappoint her. Still, that was only Siwoo’s assumption, he couldn’t let his guard down. It was clear that he hadn’t simply gone to sleep quietly that night. The fact that he couldn’t remember what he had said or done filled him with dread. At the same time, he felt sympathy for Yeonho, who had endured such moments countless times before. How terrified must Yeonho have been when he watched footage of…-
