CHAPTERS
Places with a lot of people make him tired. Even so, Jaeha drew a practiced smile and he drank his glass. The seat beside him had always belonged to Woojin, but today it was not. When he pretended not to see Woojin glancing at him from a distant table and he laughed, the people beside him started laughing too. “Jaeha, you are really funny. I think I know why Bora praised you so much.” “Isn’t it that sunbae has good reactions?” “Hey, what do you mean sunbae? Call me noona, noona. It…- 160.1 K • Completed
- “I still haven’t forgiven you, sunbae.” The sudden topic made Hamin turn his head. Everyone’s eyes shifted to Ji Eunah, who puffed out her cheeks while holding her chin with both hands. Because it was a subject everyone had silently avoided, Kim Seoryeong and Koo Chaewook wore restless faces. All resentment toward Hamin had yielded when people said it was because Han Jaeha’s mother passed away, but that did not mean their disappointment melted away too. The group chat that was always…

- “Sunbae, should I buy you a car?” “What kind of car?” “That expensive one.” Hamin turned his head. Because he was held in Jaeha’s arms, his temple bumped against Jaeha’s chin. What expensive car… English black tea? (Benz) Jaeha saw his mouth form those words silently and pointed his finger toward the large TV. On the screen, the male lead stepped out from the driver’s seat of a luxury imported car. That was the car? He let out a hollow laugh. Pressing his face…

- Why am I dreaming? Hamin stepped on the creaking wooden floor in a sudden lucid dream. It had been a long time since he heard a floor groan because it could not hold the weight of one adult. In the dream he was a kindergarten child. The classroom was noisy because of the once-a-year parent observation day. The children wriggled in their seats because they wanted to run to their parents quickly, and the teacher sweated as she tried to calm them down. Am I playing the parent role? He stood…

- He opened his eyes feeling disoriented. Darkness had settled outside the window, and only a few indirect lights gave off a glow inside the officetel. …When did I fall asleep on the sofa? He murmured in confusion as he looked at the clothes different from what he remembered and the blanket spread over his body. Then a cup of warm tea suddenly appeared in front of him. He raised his head. A person who should not have been there pressed a mug into his hand with a calm…

- It had been a week since Han Jaeha stopped coming to school. Text messages brought no answer, and calls only repeated the notice that the phone was turned off. In that state, Hamin could not take in any class. He often sat in the back, staring at the phone blankly until he went home, and at night he woke once every hour, staring at the empty screen, wondering when or if a message might come. Seo Hamin looked down at the dead-black screen with a confused face. He had no immunity to this kind of…

- 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…

- “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…

- “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…

- “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…
