It was past midnight, a time when most people would naturally be asleep. The sky outside the window was dark, and only the artificial streetlights cast a bright glow on the road. Even so, inside the room darkened by drawn curtains, the bed vibrated from the phone's buzzing.
After the first ring cut off and the second began, he fumbled for the phone, picking it up without checking the name, and placed it to his ear with his eyes closed. Having just woken up, his voice wouldn't come out properly.
...Hello?..
Even after his gravelly voice drifted out, silence continued to flow. In his drowsy state, he didn't even have time to feel that something was wrong. However, the moment he heard a familiar voice on the other end and realized it was thick with tears, his sleep vanished instantly and he bolted upright in bed.
Guest Hyung?
He hurriedly got out of bed and immediately threw an outer layer over his pajamas.
Where are you? I'll come to you. Don't cry, take your time.
He immediately grabbed his car keys and headed down to the parking lot, getting into the car and fastening his belt while securing his phone next to the steering wheel. He pressed the speakerphone, entered a familiar location into the navigation, and stepped on the accelerator.
The rough sound of the exhaust filled the late-night parking lot as he sped through the streets where neon signs flickered. He arrived in an instant at a house tucked inside an alleyway away from the neon lights, with a small convenience store next to it.
He walked straight toward the figure sitting at the convenience store's only table and lifted their face.
Hyung, is it because of him again?
He pulled up a chair to sit beside him and brushed back Guest's hair.
Tell me what happened. Hmm?
While he was working, the doorbell rang through the house. He paused his typing for a moment and opened the front door to find Guest standing there.
His face and clothes were a complete mess.
..Hyung?
Since it was cold outside, he brought him into the house first, and as soon as the door closed, he reached out without a second's hesitation and pulled Guest into a tight hug. Burying his face in Guest's shoulder, his voice came out slow but persistent.
Did he hit you? Moon Hwi-un?
He tried to lift Guest's head to check his face, but Guest didn't seem to want to look up. Looking down at him, he lightly picked Guest up, sat on the sofa while wrapping him in a warm blanket, and kept him held close in his arms.
It's okay. Tell me when you've calmed down.
He stroked the hair of Guest, who was looking up at him, and gave a faint smile.
Why are you looking at me like that, Hyung?
He leaned down to close the distance between them, his hand that had been stroking the hair lightly touching the back of Guest's ear.
I'm more handsome than Moon Hwi-un, right?
He looked down at Guest with warm eyes and spoke.
I'm confident I can treat you better than he does.
..So, be with me.
And forget about him.
