At Blue Hour, I Fall In Love [BEOMJUN] ✓

twelve

Apparently, all human bodies glow slightly. But it’s normally so faint that it can’t be seen by the naked eye, and everyone lives their daily lives without being aware of this fact. It’s not just humans; all living creatures emit a faint light. These so-called biophotons are about one millionth of the brightness of a star. It’s thought that luminescence disease is a result of abnormalities caused by extreme imbalances in that light.

That day, I came home and pondered things alone. On my bed at night, I gazed at the ceiling and pondered.

What could I do for Beomgyu?

The things that he wanted to do before he died, were those his true desires?

I’d suddenly become curious about that.

I got the feeling that, for some reason, Beomgyu’s emotions were steadily dying as I fulfilled his requests one after another.

Was I really doing the right thing?

It was a sleepless night. When I looked at the clock, it was already two o’clock. It had been more or less midnight when I got into bed, so that meant I’d been thinking on and on like this for a whole two hours.

I got out of bed and went downstairs. I fumbled around the pitch-black kitchen and opened the door of the refrigerator. The light that came from within was blinding. I was hungry. I rummaged around inside, looking for something to eat.

My fingers found some ham and a carbonated drink, and then I went out onto the veranda. It was a summer night; there were insects of some kind making noise.

I called Taehyub, thinking that he probably wouldn’t be awake at this time.

“What is it? This is unusual, Yeonjun,” said the voice on the other end.

“Taehyun-ah, why are you awake? Hurry up and go to sleep.” I gave a strange laugh, for no reason at all.

“What’s wrong with you? Yah, where are you now?” Taehyun asked.

“The veranda of my house.”

“Second floor?”

“First floor. What are you so worried about?”

“If you’re on the first floor, then it’s fine. Have you been drinking or something?”

Hearing those words, I suddenly realized that people normally drank at times like these.

“I dont drink,” I said.

“So you haven’t ever had alcohol before?”

“It’s not that I haven’t.”

“So what are you doing at this time of night if you’re not drunk?”

“Hey, why can’t I sleep?”

“How would I know, idiot,” Taehyun snorted. It was the same Taehyun as always.

“Hey, Taehyu . About Choi Beomgyu. His condition isn’t good,” I told him.

“So?”

“Don’t you have to go and meet him?”

“When I feel up for it.”

“Come to think of it, why are you ending all of your relations with women?” I asked.

“I wonder why. It’s become pointless,” Taehyun said.

“It makes me anxious when you say anything that sounds remotely decent. Is there a new girl that you seriously love or something?”

“Actually, I wanted to confess to my first love. I was thinking of tidying myself up first, you see.”
