ch 30

It has been over 10 minutes since Hyunsuk came to Jihoon’s room at the hospital and cried in Jihoon’s arms. Finally Hyunsuk has stopped sobbing. Jihoon pushed Hyunsuk a little away from him and stared at Hyunsuk’s face. Hyunsuk hiccupped once a while with his messy after crying face.

“Have you calmed down?” Jihoon asked. Hyunsuk nodded.

“I’m sorry,” Hyunsuk said. He didn’t look at Jihoon’s face. He looked at the tear marks that he left on Jihoon’s chest. He can’t believe himself that he cried that much. Hyunsuk didn't even know what he's thinking, but he's trying to wipe away the tears marks on Jihoon's chest, which logically, it won't even being erased.

Hyunsuk can hear that Jihoon ie chuckling. He quickly looked up. But for some reason, he can't look at Jihoon's face for a long time. Embarrassed, maybe. He's so out of character the moment he entered this room. Hyunsuk looked down. Cursing himself in his mind.

Hyunsuk just wait for Jihoon to start the conversation. If Jihoon didn't say anything, he'll just excuse himself and go home.

However, Jihoon didn’t say anything for a while. Hyunsuk then looked up at Jihoon’s face again. Seeing Jihoon smiling at him, Hyunsuk lost the words he was about to say.

After Hyunsuk looked at him, Jihoon caressed Hyunsuk’s cheek with his thumb while still smiling. He still didn’t say anything. Jihoon moved his face close to Hyunsuk before he placed a soft, light peck on Hyunsuk’s lips.

“Why did you do that?” Hyunsuk asked after Jihoon pulled out.

“I just feel like it,” Jihoon said while giggling. Seeing Jihoon being all giddy like this makes Hyunsuk somewhat regret crying in front of him. But he couldn’t even turn back time. It has already happened. “Why did you cry?”

“I just. I don’t know. When I heard that you got stabbed and got hospitalized, I got worried. I was so scared on my way here. I couldn’t reach you for days and suddenly get a news that you got hospitalized. There’s a lot of negative things flooding my mind. I was scared that I couldn’t see you ever again,” Hyunsuk said. “I was so scared. There’s a lot of things I want to say to you. I was afraid that I will be too late to do so,”

Jihoon just stares at Hyunsuk’s face. It make him a little flustered and tried to avoid Jihoon’s gaze.

“Well. Even now, it has been too late. You have moved on already,” Hyunsuk said. “I didn’t expect that you’ll move on this quickly. I just underestimate you,”

“Why did you think like that?” Jihoon asked.

“Huh?”

“Why do you think that I have move on?” Jihoon asked again.

“Well. You said that you want to be in a proper relationship. You want to start to meet people with that intention,” Hyunsuk said. “And looking at how you did, it seems like things are going in a good direction. With that Ahn Yujin girl,”

“Hah? Yujin?” Jihoon asked. “You think that I’m pursuing Yujin? Why?”

“Well, I met you on your date, when I was with Ryujin. And I saw you in her posts several times. She keeps on posting stuff like she had a special person and that’s probably you,” Hyunsuk said.

“Wait! How come you can come with that conclusion?” Jihoon asked.

“Because it's just how it looks,” Hyunsuk said. “Good to you. She looks like a good girl and fun to be with. She’s pretty too,”

“Give me an example of an occasion where it makes you think like that. Other than the fact that you and Ryujin met me and her at the shopping complex before we had dinner together,” Jihoon said.
