Chapter 54

"Hyung, are you... mad at me?"

"...? Me?"

Kang Se-hyun nodded with an uncertain expression.

'Ah.'

Looking at Kang Se-hyun's bandage on his face, he seems to have a lot of thoughts. I rubbed my eyebrows.

"No. Why am I mad?"

"That's...…………."

Kang Se-hyun smiled and then lowered his head.

"I've been acting rude to you, hyung."

"Is that why you've been so careful lately?"

"It's obvious?!"

"...Of course."

Are you really asking because you don't know? You're a guy whose expression shows what you're thinking.

I laughed in absurdity.

Kang Se-hyun looked at my expression and let out a short sigh.

"I got mad at my hyung on the day of the competition and regretted it right away. I was mad at myself, but I got annoyed at my hyung…."

I listened quietly to Kang Se-hyun.

"I shouldn't have run away and apologized right away. It was harder to apologize because I missed the timing. But if I acted like I usually did to my hyung…, I was afraid that you would get really mad."

"No."

"...Really?"

"Yeah. Rather, I whined like a puppy that was watching the situation, but wouldn't that bother you more?"

Kang Se-hyun laughed awkwardly.

"I think our team atmosphere is really good. I just thought I should be careful..."

Somehow, you've been acting less annoying lately. It's not that I don't understand Kang Se-hyun's feelings. No, I think I understand to some extent.

It's impossible for five guys of the same age to live together without conflict.

While working as a bodyguard, I sometimes saw groups of members fighting each other.

'The M8 team is unusually harmonious.'

After hearing Kang Se-hyun's words, I finally understood why he had been like that.

He looked so innocent, but he was a guy who thought a lot, contrary to his appearance. He must have been careful in his own way.

"I'm sorry, hyung."

He bit his lips tightly as if holding back tears, and then met my eyes with a firm expression.

I let out a small breath and nodded. Kang Se-hyun finally smiled.

"But from now on,"

At my words, Kang Se-hyun swallowed with a nervous expression.

"Don't hide it, just tell me. I won't know if you don't express it."

Kang Se-hyun laughed. When I looked at him curiously, he said with a much more relaxed expression.

"No, Sung-jun hyung said something similar too.... Although his expression was much rougher."

It seemed like the two of them talked a lot back them, and that's what they were talking about.

Choi Sung-jun may have matured a bit. Kang Se-hyun laughed out loud.

"Okay, haha! I'll be honest now."
