“Ugh!”

A man was thrown to the asphalt.

It flies awkwardly with narrow shoulders and thin limbs.

The person who threw him was a fierce-looking man with a very strong body and tall stature.

“Get out of here, you bastard!”

“You, you fucking bastard. I remembered your face!”

“This bastard until the end..!”

“Hee profit!”

Screaming ungainly, he hurriedly left the place.

I ignored the pain I felt when I was thrown to the floor and ran away from my immediate fear.

“Tsk.”

Choi Do-hyeon shook his hands and entered the restaurant.

“Inspiration. Are you telling me to take a break now? Why do you keep coming out and seeing things like this?”

“Ckekekekeul, it’s rewarding to feed and raise it. Baby, I’m still fine. What you earn in a day from this restaurant is quite a lot.”

“Give me some food.”

“Ahh, the young guy talking nonsense to the old guy…”

The old man slowly moved into the kitchen.

**

“Then, I’m going.”

“Okay. I’m not going out.”

After dinner, I left the restaurant.

Perhaps it was because Choi Do-hyeon’s memories and my memories were mixed, but although it was definitely the first time meeting ‘me’, I felt a strange sense of welcome and comfort.

A one-room village filled with red bricks, one of the smallest rooms among them.

This is where I have lived and where ‘I’ will live.

I opened the old-fashioned door, which was locked with an iron key, and entered the narrow room.

A mattress on the floor, a little pile of dishes.

When I opened the closet, there was only a minimal amount of clothes taking up space.

I put down my bag and flopped down on the mattress.

I took off the academy uniform I was still wearing and changed into comfortable short sleeves and sweatpants.

When I looked in the bathroom mirror, there was a typical golden sun standing there.

I lifted my hand and closed it and opened it repeatedly.

Generally, golden suns are depicted as having superior bodies compared to ordinary men.

What I did at the restaurant earlier was part of that influence.

Even though I don’t remember exercising much, my body had strong muscles and good athletic ability.

As time passed, thoughts began to build up that possession was actually a good thing.

Of course, I still feel a sense of disappointment that the college I worked hard for for 12 years starting from the first grade of elementary school disappeared in an instant…

‘Shall we go for a walk?’

There seemed to be no better option than a walk to soothe this complicated mind.

Coincidentally, Jeong Ye-eun and Moon Jeong-woo often go out for walks at night, so if we’re lucky, we might be able to meet them.

-Squeak

I pushed the creaking door as if it were a haunted house.

Since it wasn’t that cold outside, I didn’t bring any outerwear.

.

.

.

I checked my appearance through a convex mirror placed on the street.

‘Oh oh…’

Even walking with my hands in my pockets didn’t feel awkward at all.

With his handsome face and great body, he looked more like a pictorial than a handsome person.

A pictorial taken while the actor was quite angry.

‘If only I could do something about that scary looking face…’

The walk went smoothly.

The fresh night breeze gently caressed my skin.

As my hair flowed, I felt cheerful.

Head towards the neighborhood where Jeong Ye-eun and Moon Jeong-woo live.

Gradually, the smell of the ruined and destroyed slums began to fade, and square-shaped apartment complexes began to appear.

And, near the border dividing the two neighborhoods, a commotion was taking place.

‘What is that?’

It is said that there are two most interesting sights in the world.

Watching fire and fighting.

It looked like people were fighting, so I approached, and to my surprise, there was someone I really wanted to see.

Jeong Ye-eun was dressed lightly as she was taking a walk near her house.

The top was white short sleeves and a light cardigan, and the bottoms were dolphin pants, giving the overall feel of a friend from the neighborhood.

“City, I don’t like it…!”

The person who shouts in a trembling voice in front of Jeong Ye-eun is Moon Jeong-woo.

Since I hid once during the day, I wonder how I came forward this time…

What are you going to do with your trembling body like that?

The people surrounding them were one anchovy and two pigs, and although the reason was unknown, the pigs were all wearing fashions that seemed to have been seen somewhere else.

So… ‘Chorongi’ style fashion.

As I got closer, one of them finally saw me.

“You, you! That bastard from earlier!”

The anchovy stuck between the pigs was the one that was thrown at me at the restaurant.

“Oh, is that him?”

“That’s right, bro! That bastard is me..!”

“Hey, friend! Come here.”

A bigger lantern called to me.

Since I was going to approach them anyway, I didn’t respond and just walked near them.

Finally, Jeong Ye-eun and Moon Jeong-woo also saw me.

“…Choi Do-hyeon?”

Jeong Ye-eun tilted her head and called my name as if asking why you were here.

After listening to the phlegmy voice just now, hearing her clear voice felt like my ears were being purified.

Up close, she looked even prettier in civilian clothes.

White skin and distinct features despite not wearing particularly heavy makeup.

And, the pure white neck and lean body visible below the face.

Long legs stretched out beneath short dolphin pants.

I just wanted her to look at me with loving eyes.

“What, do you know each other? Anyway.. I heard you touched my good little brother.”

“What should I do?”

He frowned and growled.

“Ha, bastard. Aren’t your eyes open nicely?”

“Fuck you.”

“The kid doesn’t talk rudely..!”

Chorong raised one arm and started tapping my neck.

Like the boss of the Doksa faction who messed with the long-haired Korean-Chinese gangster.

As those in the know know, the boss had a knife stuck in his throat a few seconds later.

“Aren’t you putting your hands away?”

“If you don’t clean it up, what are you going to do?”

Instead of answering, I grabbed his hand and broke his wrist.

“Ah, ah!”

He screams in pain.

“Hyung!”

A slightly smaller Chorong rushed towards me.

“Lose some weight, you little pig.”

I lifted one leg and kicked the solar plexus.

“Wow!”

He collapsed on the spot.

“Shi, fuck…”

Anchovy is embarrassed as the two big guys are quickly overpowered.

He was upset that he was pushing his group to fight while he was left behind, so he went over and slapped them several times.

In the first place, our Ye-eun… No, not yet.

They were also the ones who were harassing Jeong Ye-eun.

I spoke to the large Chorong who was holding my wrist on the floor.

“Turn off.”

“, fuck… let’s go.”

Perhaps because his pride was hurt, he lowered his head and walked away.

The small lantern and anchovy soon followed him and disappeared.

I turned my head and saw Moon Jeong-woo and Jeong Ye-eun.

Perhaps it was due to the impact of the fight that had just occurred, but they were frozen.

As she slowly approaches, Moon Jeong-woo steps in front of Jeong Ye-eun.

Oh, this deserves some praise.

I’ll be playing that role soon, but right now…

I could see that he was very nervous about what I would say or whether he would threaten me.

“..Are you hurt anywhere?”

And now is the time.

Shaking bridge effect.

In emotionally unstable situations, fear is confused with liking.

Jeong Ye-eun’s eyes widened.

As if he never thought I would say something like this.

“Uh, uh…”

She answered awkwardly.

“Okay, well.. I’m going.”

Without another word, I turned back and walked forward.

Given Jeong Ye-eun’s personality, if this happens –

“Hey, Choi Do-hyeon….”

yes. I heard a voice calling me right behind me.

I stopped and turned my head to look at her.

Although it was only for a moment, I tried to keep her in view as much as possible.

“…Well, that… Thank you.”

A thank you finally came out from her hesitant lips.

It was a timid greeting, but it was sufficiently conveyed.

I chuckled, smiled, and returned her greeting.

“It’s because I’m annoyed. Don’t be thankful.”

slowly. Let’s take it slow.

It’s not okay to jump in and say I suddenly like you.

**

Jeong Ye-eun was on her way back home with Moon Jeong-woo after breaking up with Choi Do-hyeon.

“Ye-eun, didn’t I tell you? I will protect you next time.”

“Haha, thank you.”

Well… I don’t know if it actually worked, but it was still reassuring that he stepped forward to protect me.

However, I could no longer listen to what he was talking about.

Instead, I started thinking about what had just happened.

A walk with Jeongwoo.

The gangsters I met near a neighborhood with bad security.

They were annoying, asking for my phone number and asking me to hang out with them.

And then Choi Do-hyeon suddenly appeared.

With his usual grim expression on his face, he quickly overpowered all those scary people.

What’s important is what happened next.

I was wary of it because he behaved so badly at the academy, but wasn’t he asking if he was hurt?

After unconsciously answering that it was okay, he left as if that was really all.

With a somewhat lonely gesture.

That sight bothered me, so I followed him and spoke carefully.

Of course, he may not have done it for me, but he may have just done it because they were arguing with him –

Nonetheless, thank you.

I shouted out my thanks for helping.

Then, a blunt answer came back along with his laughter.

‘You look like that when you smile…’

I didn’t know you were always with your face pressed against the desk or frowning.

‘Bird, you’re more handsome than I thought…’

I felt like my face was getting hot, so I fanned it with my hand.

“Why are you like this, Yeeun?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”
