Suddenly, I wondered if he was as surprised as I was. Tae Seong-je couldn’t have thought that the other person had a knife. If I hadn’t run away with him at that time, he might have been seriously injured. How do you beat a madman?
“Hyung, you were also a bit scared back then, right?”
What scares me the most right now is his unknown inner thoughts… Still, I asked out of curiosity. Then Tae Seong-je covered his mouth and looked at me with thoughtful eyes as if he was trying to recall the situation at that time.
I could hear the muffled sounds of people eating in the silence, and then he slowly nodded and spoke.
“It seems that I was.”
“Oh, as expected, you’re also the same, right?”
Even if he later became a bastard, Tae Seong-je was also a human being. I smiled, relieved that I wasn’t dealing with a madman just yet. I looked Tae Seong-je in the eyes and smiled awkwardly. I was nervous, wondering if I had offended him, when his eyes narrowed suddenly.
” I’m in trouble.”
“What?”
“I forgot about it, but now that I remember, I’m wondering how I can sleep at night.”
“What? Are you that scared?”
Was Tae Seong-jee such a coward? Most of all, Tae Seong-je couldn’t sleep because he was scared. Even if it didn’t suit him, it didn’t suit him so much that I looked at him with suspicion. Tae Seong-je then asked me to come closer, lowered his upper body, and whispered.
“Baby, think about it.”
Ah, another strange nickname… As I leaned toward him timidly, Tae Seong-je spoke in a low voice with a cautious attitude as if it was an important problem.
“As you said, if he wanted to harm me, it means he wanted to see blood at the very least. Do you think I can go into my house when I’m so scared?”
Oh. That’s right. I got serious for a moment and nodded seriously. Tae Seong-je would have reported it around the time he left the hospital. If you think about it, the reporting period is too long. What if that guy run away in the meantime? Tae Seong-je called to arrest him, but he didn’t say anything about that guy being caught. For a moment, I was genuinely worried about him. I felt sorry for him because he seemed so mature, but he was so weak.
“Hyung, do you know anyone near you?”
“I don’t go to other people’s homes because it’s uncomfortable. I’ll just sleep in a motel.”
“Still, being alone for a few days…”
“One day is enough.”
Why only one day? I blinked my eyes in doubt, and then he looked at me with a sly smile. He placed his hand on top of my hand. His hand, which was covering the back of my hand, touched mine gently. It was so natural and orderly that I didn’t even have time to be surprised.
His fingertips rubbed the back of my hand gently. Even the air felt hot in an instant as if the passion of alcohol had risen sharply. Tae Seong-je spoke slowly, turning my hand over and gently stroking my palm. My palms were itchy and tingling that even my tongue seemed to tremble.
“It’s because the world is so cruel these days. There are so many people arguing over nothing… Don’t you think so?”
“Uh, ah. Yes, that’s right. I, uh, recently had a senior pick a fight with me about my height, but my, uh, friend somehow managed to help me out, so it wasn’t too bad.”
“That’s a relief.”
“…”
“Why don’t you talk.”
“…Uh, and, um.”
“Go on.”
Tae Seong-je laughed softly, intertwined our hands, and clasped his fingers. I couldn’t speak properly because of his digging fingers and tightly clenched hands. My head felt like it was being boiled in a frenzy of heat. Unable to breathe properly, my heart began to beat rapidly, and my mind was so disorganized that I could barely think straight and felt dizzy.
I finally opened my mouth, but it was nothing but gibberish. I pushed myself to say something decent, but it didn’t matter anyway. I didn’t meet Tae Seong-jee to talk anyway.
I was determined to do anything to get back home, and I was willing to take any sacrifice to get there. Of course, I knew that this place was not very innocent. Tae Seong-jee also has a purpose.
I finally opened my mouth, but all I could manage was gibberish. Because the two were lovers. Since I had become Seo Seung-won, I knew so well that I had to be having sex to the point of tears, and I had made up my mind a long time ago. If I leave now, is he going to do it right away? The tension began to dampen my palms.
“Yes, be careful at night even if it’s a crowded street. I don’t walk around at night or on the side of the road because I’m afraid of being kidnapped.”
Oh, I even said something that I didn’t have to because I was nervous. It just sounds like a lot of worries, right? Be careful. I hurriedly put my words together and deliberately clenched my hand tightly.
“Next time, avoid anyone who tries to argue with you. You don’t want to get hurt.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Instead of loosening my grip, I drank my beer with my other hand as another thirst struck. I began to speak incessantly, with a tension that I could not afford to abate. I talked about things I might be interested in and talked about fields I might like.
However, Tae Seong-je refrained from talking about his story, and even if he did, he avoided answering with ambiguous words. I pretended not to notice and just kept smiling hard. Fortunately, the smile came out well because of the alcohol.
At that time, Tae Seong-je tapped my cheek with his clenched hands.
“Why are you so cute?”
I looked at him and smiled, then shrugged my shoulders.
“Uh… Me? Thank you…”
Did he think I’m cute? It can’t be. There was nothing cute about what I was saying, just like Seo Seung-won’s size wasn’t cute at all. I should have known he was making fun of me, but somehow my head and mouth reacted separately. What am I thankful for?
I tried not to be conscious, but my eyes turned to hands that seemed to be promiscuously intertwined again. My whole body felt like it was on fire. I felt hot as hell. In my panic, I pressed my back against the backrest, and the hand that grabbed me came right back at me.
I couldn’t say anything and just frowned, but Tae Seong-jee slowly released his hands and got up from his seat.
“Wait for a sec.”
“Ah, yes.”
I wondered if he was going to the bathroom, so I told him to go, then I quickly rubbed my stiff cheek and caught my breath. My jaw muscles ached from smiling too much, and my back felt damp from a cold sweat. My clenched hand hurt, so I clenched and opened it for no reason, then loosened my fingers.
My hands are also large, but Tae-Sung’s fingers were too big to get between my fingers, so it was a bit stiff. I feel uncomfortable when the hand I was holding disappears… and I was unnecessarily distracted by the fact that it hadn’t been held for a long time. I looked at the time to check it, and I was surprised. An hour and a half had already passed.
I didn’t even realize how much time had passed, so I was flustered. We didn’t drink much… Oh, no, that’s not it, we didn’t talk much… That regret was solved by Tae Seong-je. I was talking to Tae Seong-je, who returned to his seat, and he said he knew a good bar and suggested that we go out and talk more.
I was disappointed, but I couldn’t help but smile, thinking it was a good idea. As I stood in front of the cash register to pay, but Tae Seong-je grabbed a peppermint candy from the candy basket in front of the cash register and walked past me.
“I already paid it, so just come out.”
“What? When? No, hyung, I was supposed to pay for this.”
The store was quite pricey. Not just the curry, but the barbecue and several drinks, a bit too much for a student. But I was willing to spend money on Tae Seong-je. He was the one who told me to buy it, so why would he pay? Oh, come to think of it, Tae Seong-je once said that he would buy me a meal. After understanding it, I thought that I would be able to pay for the drink.
The bar we arrived at was a really good place, just as he said. It wasn’t noisy, and above all, the interior was well decorated. Tae Seong-je asked me what I like, but honestly, I didn’t know much about alcohol, so I replied that I liked anything. It doesn’t matter what it tastes like, I just want to get drunk so I don’t get sick. But these words were not cool. Thanks to the quick-witted Tae Seong-jee who ordered several glasses of alcohol, I didn’t get embarrassed.
For someone who had only had soju or beer, the new alcohol that the bartender gave out while performing simple tricks was like entering a different world. The most beautiful drink caught my eye while I was sipping the first glass. I tasted it with high expectations and put it back down in disappointment.
“Hmm… It just tastes like oranges.”
“Looks like it’s not your taste.”
Tae Seong-je laughed happily and spread the relatively boring brown-based liquors in front of me. I emptied my glass again and licked my lips. It went down smoothly, I felt like I was peeping into a new world.
He gave me snacks while I was drinking well and told me to drink slowly. It wasn’t a bad feeling. It didn’t feel bad. I listened to Tae Seong-je’s voice, ignoring the music playing in the bar. A little sincere story was mixed in the conversation mixed with alcohol.
Suddenly, I wondered if he was as surprised as I was. Tae Seong-je couldn’t have thought that the other person had a knife. If I hadn’t run away with him at that time, he might have been seriously injured. How do you beat a madman?
