Why is he here at this hour?

Since I had already been deeply troubled about Logan’s impending departure, seeing his face in 3D surround sound left me feeling utterly perplexed. Because…

“He’s not a regular person.”

“Then who is he? A staff member? Or just another trainee?”

“Uh, he’s a trainee roommate who shares a room with me….”

“What? Then introduce us. We came all this way, are you just going to let this sister go without meeting him?”

Knowing my sister, a teacher at a Confucian Korean high school, she would definitely be like this.

Normally, she would just let it pass, but given her heightened interest in <Targeting Star> right now, it was only natural for her to be curious about a trainee who shared a room with me.

Normally, I would introduce him without a second thought…

Before I came back, troubled guys who always drank with me during my problematic days used to have faces like that.

However, I couldn’t ignore the expectant looks from my sister and dad.

“…Hey, Logan?”

“―Oh? Chunyong hyung?”

Hearing my voice, Logan slowly approached us, cautiously looking between me and my family before opening his mouth.

“Oh, the people behind you are…?”

“Oh, yeah. My sister and my father. I just thought it would be nice to introduce you since we ran into each other….”

“Huh.”

Logan paused for a moment at my words, then wiped his hands on his pants and extended his right hand towards my sister and dad.

“Hello, I’m Logan Lee! Meeting Chunyong hyung’s family, it seems like today’s jogging was meant for this moment!”

‘…Oh.’

I sighed softly as I looked at Logan’s bright smile.

Logan’s attitude towards my family couldn’t have been more perfect.

“Wow, Chunyong hyung must resemble his father. Just by looking, one would think that you’re his brother, not his father.”

“I-is that so? Haha, I feel good hearing that I look young….”

Maintaining a smile throughout the conversation, using words that make others feel good, and speaking in a pleasant voice.

But, I’ve been watching Logan for almost two months now.

“Wow, your sister is a teacher, Chunyong hyung. That’s amazing. I don’t particularly enjoy studying, so I always find it impressive when I see someone who teaches.”

“Oh my, he’s handsome and speaks so nicely….”

On the surface, Logan looks like a friendly dog, a happy retriever….

“Thanks to Chunyong hyung taking care of me, I’m really happy. I’m glad I could express my gratitude like this.”

…I could tell that it wasn’t out of genuine happiness and joy.

As if to prove my point, Logan’s mouth and eyes were smiling brightly, but his gaze was cold.

Unlike usual, it was as if he was wearing a mask.
