Chapter 82.

“What? Dwelling collectively?”

“Sush! Communicate quietly, will you?”

“OMG! Even I haven’t tried residing with anybody, but Shin Kim is doing it? Earlier than me? I can’t consider it!”

“You’re in your 30’s and you continue to haven’t lived with anybody earlier than?”

Shin curiously watched Siwoo, who appeared to look a lot brighter. Earlier than Joowan, Siwoo suffered from despair after breaking apart with one other man. Even when he was courting Joowan, Siwoo was the sort that subconsciously waited for the connection to finish. Siwoo by no means lived with anybody as a result of he wished to stay unbiased, maintaining a distance from his lovers. Siwoo appeared safe however nonetheless lonely even when he had a boyfriend.

Shin requested, “Siwoo, are you seeing somebody?”

“… Your boyfriend requested me the identical query. That’s humorous.”

Siwoo frowned and Shin watched him quietly. Usually, folks both appreciated Siwoo quite a bit, or utterly hated him. Though he regarded sharp, Siwoo was a heat one that obtained damage simply. Sadly, Siwoo has been courting the “dangerous guys,” till he met Joowan. Joowan was an uncommon selection for Siwoo, and Shin thought that Siwoo’s style in males was lastly altering.

However when Siwoo and Joowan broke up, Shin turned nervous for him. Shin requested, “So you might be seeing Joowan once more?”

“I don’t wish to discuss Joowan Kim.”

Siwoo replied firmly, however he didn’t appear upset, making Shin much more curious.

“However you don’t date anybody straight away after breaking apart.”

“I’m not courting anybody. I already instructed your boyfriend too.”

“However you appear to be the best way you do whenever you begin courting somebody.”

Shin checked out him sharply, however Siwoo remained calm.

“Shin, it’s solely Monday night and I’m very drained. May you cease speaking nonsense?”

“Hmm…”

“Simply eat your dinner and go house. It’s your first evening residing collectively, so that you don’t wish to be late, proper?”

“Assistant Supervisor Woojin has a household assembly tonight, so it’s okay.”

“Oh, that’s proper.”

“What do you imply? How do you know about it?”

Siwoo immediately regarded awkward. After a brief pause, he replied, “Shin, let’s simply eat dinner.”

“You hate it after I pried, don’t you?”

“But you continue to preserve doing it.”

“Positive, tremendous. By the best way, it’s so unusual that we had been each free tonight and get to eat dinner collectively.”

Shin studied Siwoo rigorously, hoping to see one thing in him. However Siwoo remained calm. He set down his chopsticks on the desk and requested Shin, “Hey.”

“Yeah?”

“You aren’t planning on letting go of the latest automotive accident, proper?”

“By no means.”

“And also you assume it was Jihoon Kang who was behind it?”

“… What?”

Shin anticipated Siwoo to know somewhat about his scenario, but it surely appeared Siwoo knew far more than he let on. Shin turned pale.

“Siwoo, how are you aware that?”

“I’m seeing Jihoon Kang.”

“… What?”

“However I’m not courting him or something.”

“Then what are you guys? Buddies?”

“Effectively, one thing like that.”

Shin immediately felt chilly.

“Are you aware what sort of man Jihoon Kang is?”

“I feel I do know him higher than you do, Shin.”

“… That man’s mom… she…”

“She hates Woojin Choi. I do know.”

“… Did Jihoon Kang let you know that?”

“Sure.”

It had been such a very long time since Jihoon noticed Shin trying this serene. Feeling confused and shocked, Shin stammered, “H-have you misplaced your thoughts?”

“I’m telling you that Jihoon Kang instructed this to me.”

“Are you aware what sort of bastard he’s?”

“Do YOU know what sort of man Jihoon is?”

“… What?”

“Isn’t it true that you simply solely wish to find out about Woojin? You aren’t considering studying about anybody else.”

“… What are you speaking about, Siwoo?”

“I’m not blaming you for it. It is sensible that it is best to solely care about Woojin. And Jihoon Kang… ”

After considering for some time, Siwoo added, “Jihoon Kang must do his finest to repair his misunderstanding with Woojin Choi.”

“What if it isn’t only a misunderstanding?”

“Maybe, however…”

“…”

“I believed you already knew that Jihoon isn’t the one who dedicated the hit-and-run.”

“Siwoo, how did you get entangled in all this?”

“Simply reply me, Shin. You realize that, don’t you?”

“It was only a guess. I discover it very suspicious that the police gained’t inform me something.”

“How so?”

“Like somebody excessive up is ensuring the reality doesn’t get out.”

“You may have an animalistic intuition. I gives you that.”

“I do know.”

“…”

After learning Siwoo for a very long time, Shin lastly mentioned once more, “However it doesn’t matter what, Jihoon Kang isn’t the appropriate man for you.”

“And I’m telling you that we aren’t courting.”

“Don’t be so naïve, Siwoo. You know the way these items occur. Simply watch out and don’t do something you may remorse.”

Shin considered Woojin. There was a time when Shin was pleased to go to an empty home, however now, considering of getting somebody look forward to him made him really feel pleased. Every part was going to be okay. Shin needed to consider this.

“I’ll take you house. Let’s take my automotive.”

Eejun spoke to Woojin as they walked the trail within the giant backyard. They simply completed dinner and Jihoon was strolling somewhat forward of them. It had been a very long time since Eejun attended Woojin and Jihoon’s household assembly. When Eejun supplied, Jihoon circled. It was usually Jihoon who drove Woojin house after dinner.

Woojin’s eyes met with Jihoon’s. Jihoon didn’t appear bothered by Eejun’s provide. Jihoon replied, “Go forward, Woojin. Eejun lives in the identical path, proper?”

Eejun mentioned to Jihoon somewhat coldly, “I wasn’t asking in your permission, Jihoon.”

He was clearly selecting a struggle, however Jihoon once more appeared detached. He didn’t say something.

Woojin watched the 2 for a short while earlier than turning away to have a look at the stone partitions that surrounded the backyard. The home was positioned in the midst of the backyard and it was large. When Woojin was little, this home felt like a jail to him. He remembered the very first household dinner. Afterward, Woojin ended up throwing up every little thing he ate that evening. His mom caressed his head gently whereas his father went into his room with no phrase. On the time, Woojin thought his father was ignoring him, however now, he questioned if his father simply felt apologetic in the direction of him. Maybe that was why his father got here into his room and watched him sleep for a very long time that evening.

Maybe… Maybe Woojin grew up extra liked than he believed.

Woojin lastly mentioned to settle this challenge, “Jihoon have to be drained, so I’ll take up on Eejun’s provide. We’re getting in the identical path anyway, so it is sensible.”

“… Alright.”

Woojin watched Jihoon, who had a refined frown, for a very long time. Regardless of the very long time they knew one another, they barely understood one another. As a result of they had been compelled into this odd relationship, numerous misunderstandings existed between them. It was unimaginable to inform how twisted their relationship was, however now, Woojin felt like the reality was lastly starting to floor. When Jihoon walked far forward of them, Eejun mentioned to Woojin, “Jihoon Kang was so annoying even in the course of the dinner.”

“…”

“How is Shin Kim? Has he recovered absolutely?”

“He’s doing okay.”

“Accidents from automotive accidents take time to heal I suppose.”

When Eejun pouted, Woojin slowly grabbed his wrist and mentioned to him, “Eejun…”

“Yeah?”

“I would like a favor. I would like you to look into one thing.”

“What about?”

“… About Shin’s automotive accident.”

Eejun’s eyes widened, “What…?”

“You realize in addition to I do this it wasn’t an accident.”

“…”

“It’s got to be both Jihoon Kang, or…”

“Or?”

“That lady.”

Woojin trembled somewhat, however he took a deep breath to manage himself. Nonetheless holing Eejun’s wrist, Woojin continued, “You’re the just one I can belief, so that’s the reason I’m asking you.”

“Don’t fear.”

Eejun checked out Woojin confidently and shortly, they started to stroll once more throughout the backyard.

It was a moonless evening.
