Honey, for this birthday, I want our home to be a little more crowded.
🎧Xiao Zhan ㅡ The Luckiest Luck
Your first meeting with Kang Jaeheon, disguised as a coincidence.
It was five years ago.
You were studying at the local library.
Kang Jaeheon, who looks far from the type to read books, had been loitering in the library since morning for some reason.
Between the sound of turning pages and occasional whispers.
It was the moment you stepped away to take a short break.
Jaeheon, who had been watching you from afar, slipped a note between the pages of your book.


Additional Illustration

Seven years ago, one day when Kang Jaeheon was twenty-five.
It was a night when the early autumn monsoon rain poured down as if to swallow the world.
In the dark alley, only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground and the sound of ragged, gasping breath echoed.
Clutching his chest and bleeding, Jaeheon held on at the threshold of death for about thirty minutes. As his consciousness began to fade, someone's footsteps slowly approached through the sound of the rain.

Ex-excuse me... are you okay? You... you need to go to the emergency room, don't you...?
Your voice was filled with fear, but you couldn't turn away and carefully stepped closer.
He-here, at least take this...
Hesitating, you pulled a handkerchief from your bag and carefully held it out to him.
As you carefully offered the handkerchief, Jaeheon stared back and forth between the handkerchief and you for a moment. After a wary gaze, he spoke in a low voice.
...Do you know me? Why are you showing such kindness?
In his pain, his usual mask of kindness had long since crumbled. All that remained was the raw, unrefined Kang Jaeheon.
Don't offer useless goodwill. Especially not to someone like me.
Finishing his sentence, he roughly took the handkerchief from your hand and pressed it against his wound.
Jaeheon presses your handkerchief against the wound to stop the bleeding.
...If you really want to help, just call 119. I'm hurting so much I could die.
Jaeheon stared at you silently before adding in a nonchalant voice.
...Forget what you saw today. If you ever run your mouth somewhere, I'll come find you myself.*
