Lee Chae swallowed hard and answered calmly.
“I don’t want to become strangers. But I hate being chased one-sidedly like this.”
Haejin smirked.
“Negotiation failed.”
Lee Chae actually laughed. He’d thought about it carefully, and that was the response?
“I’m the idiot for trying to talk.”
He stood up and yanked the bag strap.
Haejin grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down.
Lee Chae glared.
Haejin just grinned.
“Hey, Cha Haejin.”
“Yeah. Negotiation failed, but I’ll grant anything except ‘stop following me.’”
“That’s my line. If it’s not ‘date me’ or ‘be my exclusive guide,’ I’ll listen—so suggest something realistic.”
Haejin’s eyes went wide, sparkling.
He flashed a toothy smile.
“Deal. What I want is simple.”
That easy? Suspicious, but Lee Chae nodded.
“I’ll buy you a phone. Carry it. I’ll pay the bill.”
“That’s not it. Say it straight.”
“What? You said anything except dating or exclusive guide. I actually wanted to say ‘kiss me,’ but I held back in case you hated it. What’s the problem?”
“…”
“I’m not saying take my calls. At least know what everyone else knows. Imagine war breaks out at school, I’m busy fighting, and you show up clueless. Horrifying.”
Lee Chae desperately wanted to crawl inside this guy’s brain just once. How does every conclusion end up like this?
The weird part: he knew it was nonsense, yet kept getting sucked in.
His head throbbed.
The sun was high now—time had passed.
He looked up; sunlight made Haejin’s face glow.
I’m the crazy one.
A phone would actually be convenient. No more coming to school on canceled days like an idiot…
But getting shackled over a single phone? Hard pass.
“No.”
“Then I say no too. Let’s pretend this never happened. I don’t need the phone—I’ll just keep chasing.”
“…”
Words failed again.
Fighting was pointless.
Nothing resolved, yet Haejin stood up.
“You’ll say no to lunch anyway, so shall we go?”
“Where?”
“Your shift, right?”
Lee Chae stared in disbelief.
“I won’t hold hands, don’t worry. I’ll just follow behind.”
He wanted to scream don’t, it’s distracting—or beg to turn back time to before they met. You can move objects and uproot trees with wind—can’t you rewind time too…?
“Here, bag.”
Haejin handed it over.
Lee Chae took it before he changed his mind—but didn’t stand.
Haejin looked puzzled.
“What? Not going?”
After long hesitation, Lee Chae spoke with difficulty.
“I’ll take the phone. But you pay the bill.”
“Anything.”
Sunlight poured onto Haejin’s head, too bright to see his face clearly.
Lee Chae looked down and continued.
“And…”
“…”
“Don’t follow me.”
Haejin smirked.
“I’m serious—listen. I don’t want pointless fights. I have a lot to do, I waste time, I waste emotions. I’m not some spoiled rich kid like you.”
Haejin frowned but nodded—go on.
“I’ll take the phone, so stop coming to my classes. I know you’re skipping yours to stalk mine.”
“Hmm…”
“And don’t come to my job.”
“What kind of bullshit is that? Make sense. I already only wait outside because you hate me coming in…”
Lee Chae almost yelled then quit everything, but held back.
The proverb says patience three times prevents murder—no need to provoke the kindergartener.
He phrased it nicely.
“Thinking you’re waiting makes it impossible to focus on work.”
“Because you’re excited?”
“…Something like that.”
At the resigned admission, Haejin lit up.
“So you hate guiding other guys because your body burns for me?”
“F*ck off or shut up!”
Lee Chae finally exploded.
Haejin hurriedly cut in.
“If I just buy the phone, I can’t come to class or work? That’s basically ‘never see each other.’”
He yanked Lee Chae’s wrist.
Caught off guard, Lee Chae fell forward—into his arms.
He’d been yelling a second ago; now brain frozen.
“Let go and talk.”
Haejin laughed at the flushed face.
Lee Chae’s cheeks were burning.
He touched them—scalding.
“I can’t make separate time, so… we meet while commuting or eating. If you don’t disturb class or work, that’s fine. I don’t know what it means to you…”
Haejin’s grin reached his ears and he crushed Lee Chae in a hug.
Hot breath against his ear.
“Do I need to spell out what it means?”
He was obviously about to say something greasy like love—Lee Chae waved his hands.
“No, I get it.”
The moment he answered—mwah—lips on cheek.
Lee Chae stared in shock.
They weren’t dating, he wasn’t becoming exclusive—just commuting and meals—yet this guy clearly misunderstood.
He should’ve dodged, but missed the timing again.
“Thanks.”
“…”
“I’ll love you hard from now on.”
“…Don’t love hard.”
“Then with all my heart?”
“No—just… normal hard.”
“Loyalty!”
Haejin gave the softest eye-smile.
Lee Chae turned away before he got hypnotized.
In that gap—another cheek kiss.
“I said stop!”
He was going to bathe his face in saliva.
Not even a puppy…
Lee Chae pushed his shoulders and scrubbed his face with his sleeve.
Haejin cackled, whining that wiping in front of the kisser was rude.
“No more playing. I have work.”
“Who said stop? You said commuting to school and work together is okay?”
Five minutes after permission and Lee Chae was already suffocating.
Did he make a mistake?
Too late—Haejin was already far ahead.
Lee Chae had no choice but to follow again.
Watching Lee Chae disappear into the cleanup crew, Haejin couldn’t stop smiling.
Jin-woo was right.
Don’t force—just keep chasing and treating him well, and he’ll open up bit by bit.
Haejin anxiously replayed the scene.
Lee Chae said he gets excited, accepted the phone, didn’t dodge the kisses… That’s basically “let’s date,” right?
Blushing every word, avoiding eye contact, pouting—it all screamed love.
He’d almost gone for the lips, but the hamster cheeks looked ready to explode, so he settled for cheeks.
Good call—if he’d kissed the lips, Lee Chae wouldn’t have followed this far.
Haejin rubbed the lips that had touched those cheeks.
Fingertips tingled; he grinned like an idiot.
The texture, the faint taste—vivid.
One cheek kiss does this… how much better would the rest be?
He didn’t even notice the low-rank espers glancing at him.
He definitely likes me.
Too much thinking—happiness and excitement aside, a tiny anxiety whispered what if not?
Whatever. I’ll find out.
He paced nervously in front of the building.
Originally he’d planned to go to Legion and see Jin-woo, but in this state he wouldn’t get anything done.
Wait for Lee Chae to finish, kiss him again the moment he comes out, see if he dodges—that’ll tell everything!
Haejin leaned against the wall, played a few games, randomly called Jae-hyung to nag about choosing better friends.
Still time wouldn’t pass—he walked the distance of two bus stops back and forth twenty times.
Finally—quitting time.
Haejin glued his eyes to the door.
Soon Lee Chae appeared, laughing brightly while talking to some guy.
Haejin was about to wave and yell I’m here!—then froze.
What the—Jung Lee Chae. You smile that prettily for another guy?
