Chapter 85.

Jihoon requested in shock, “Me?”

Woojin had by no means proven curiosity in Jihoon’s private life earlier than, so Jihoon couldn’t disguise his shock and confusion. Woojin normally didn’t even keep in mind most individuals’s names. When Jihoon laughed as a result of he discovered this case humorous and unbelievable, it was Woojin’s flip to be confused.

“What? Why are you laughing?”

“That is the primary time you’ve ever requested me if I used to be seeing anybody, Woojin.”

“…”

“I discover it unusual that you’re interested in me.”

“… Actually?”

“Properly, I suppose my reply is… kind of. It seems like I’ve somebody, however I’m not certain about it.”

“What does that imply?”

Woojin appeared genuinely puzzled and Jihoon smiled. Woojin appeared so lovable together with his confused expression. It was surprising how Woojin, who had a full-time job, had no social expertise. However this was why Jihoon preferred Woojin a lot ever since they have been youngsters. Woojin didn’t know how one can get together with others, and he was all the time clear on if he preferred one thing or not. Woojin was trustworthy; he wasn’t sneaky or pretentious like the remainder of the world.

Jihoon was particularly envious as a result of he all the time felt an enormous strain to be preferred by the household elders.

Jihoon defined, “The individual I like… he isn’t falling for me.”

“Why not?”

“Plainly he broke up together with his ex not too long ago. I feel he finds me annoying.”

“… I feel he’s already fallen for you.”

Woojin emptied his glass and sighed.

“What?”

“Since you are good, Jihoon.”

“… Woojin Choi, are you truly giving me a praise?”

“Nevertheless it’s the reality.”

“…”

“Somebody who was damage not too long ago would particularly fall for you. Or a minimum of, it is going to occur very quickly.”

Woojin calmly put a portion of salad on his plate. His actions have been all the time neat and exact, whilst a toddler. As soon as, Jihoon’s mom mentioned out loud that she hated how Woojin didn’t act like a standard youngster. On the time, all Woojin did was stare at his aunt quietly.

Jihoon discovered it shockingly disturbing how Woojin resembled his aunt, Jihoon’s mom.

Jihoon replied, “I’m undecided about that.”

“I feel it’s the primary time you admitted that you simply preferred somebody to me.”

“…”

“You want to speak about all types of issues, however by no means about your love life.”

“… Is that so?”

It appeared that they by no means actually knew one another. Jihoon, attempting to take away the awkward ambiance, emptied his glass. The wine tasted candy, precisely how Jihoon preferred it. He hated bitter issues. Jihoon may perceive why Woojin would have considered him when he drank this wine.

Misunderstanding after misunderstanding…

Jihoon blamed his mom for all of it, even now. The endless combat together with her brother was all due to her greed. The reality was, Woojin’s father by no means wished the inheritance, however Jihoon’s mom was nonetheless obsessive about discrediting him. Maybe this fixation got here from misplaced sisterly affection and her hatred in direction of her ineffective husband.

Jihoon was sick of it, and for some time, he tried to avoid Woojin. However in the long run, he couldn’t. Maybe blood certainly was thicker than water. In look, Jihoon didn’t resemble his mom, however inside, they have been extra alike than he wished to confess.

A server got here by and requested, “Is there something extra you want?” He set the final dish on the desk, and when he did, Jihoon observed a definite tattoo on the server’s hand. When he appeared up, he famous that it was that chef who went again to the kitchen earlier.

The chef had slanted eyes, making him look form. He appeared somewhat gloomy, and Jihoon puzzled if it was due to the dim lighting.

Jihoon requested Woojin, “Do you wish to order extra?”

“No.”

The chef stared at each Woojin and Jihoon for a very long time. Feeling his eyes, Jihoon appeared up at him once more and frowned. Jihoon requested, “Is there one thing on my face?”

“… No, sir.”

Instantly, Woojin started to chuckle. When Jihoon turned in direction of him in shock, Jihoon noticed an expression he had by no means seen on Woojin’s face earlier than. Woojin’s chuckle appeared spontaneous, and it made Jihoon smile as nicely.

Jihoon requested Woojin, “What?”

“No. It’s nothing.”

Woojin unexpectedly shook his head and poured Jihoon one other drink. It appeared that Woojin himself was stunned by his chuckle.

Woojin requested, “Do you just like the meals?”

“It’s good.”

“I believed you would possibly.”

The chef, who has been staring till now, lastly left the desk. Woojin helped Jihoon to a different piece of lamb and mentioned to him, “I hope issues work out for you with the individual you want.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know… For some motive, I need you to be okay.”

“… You’re humorous.”

“I do really feel somewhat sorry for the person although… your love curiosity I imply.”

It appeared like Woojin simply made a joke, and Jihoon’s eyes widened in astonishment. So far as he may keep in mind, Woojin had by no means advised a joke earlier than. Woojin continued, “I’m not kidding. I imply it.”

“What?”

“You may be very imply typically. Unusual too.”

“You might be calling ME unusual?”

“I do know you very nicely. We’re associated in any case.”

Woojin’s voice was detached, however Jihoon felt a glimmer of hope at Woojin’s phrases. Till now, Woojin had been silently denying their relationship, nevertheless it appeared that now, Woojin accepted the truth that they have been household.

Woojin mentioned to him, “After dinner, please take me dwelling.”

“Alright.”

Maybe they may lastly discover some peace between the 2 of them.

After getting out of the bathe, Shin felt uncomfortable. There was an odd variety of males who attended the seminar, so he ended up getting a personal room within the lodge. It was a spacious room, however Shin frowned as a result of he felt like one thing was lacking.

He opened a built-in fridge and took out a bottle of beer. Fortunately, there was a handy retailer within the foyer, and he acquired a number of cans after the seminar ended that day.

“I hate this.”

Having to undergo necessary seminars was irritating. Shin’s day normally consisted of working busily, so listening to a seminar all day was painfully boring. And on the final day, there was going to be a check.

Simply then, his telephone rang.

“Hiya?”

“… Woojin?”

“After all, it’s me. Who else may or not it’s?”

Woojin’s voice sounded so candy to Shin. Shin requested, “Are you dwelling proper now?”

“Yeah.”

“What are you doing?”

“I simply showered and am in mattress proper now. I used to be pondering of you.”

“…”

Woojin was so good at making Shin speechless typically.

Sincere sometimes-shy Woojin Choi.

Shin whispered, “How a lot are you eager about me?”

“To the purpose that my physique is burning for you.”
