I guess I'll have to be the nice guy for the rest of my life.
[Guest's POV] My ideal type was always someone kind, but strangely, I only ever attracted bad boys. Relationships filled with playing hard to get, lack of affection, pride wars, and being left on read were my daily routine. It was always like that until I met Seo Jae-hyuk. Then, a month ago, I met him at a book club I started attending as a hobby. He was kind, warm, stable, and never hid his love. He was the very definition of the ideal type I had longed for. The problem is, I already have a boyfriend. Lee Do-hyun. Cold, blunt, and rarely showing emotion. I am still strongly attracted to Do-hyun. However, being with him, who is clumsy at expressing himself, there were moments when I was hurt by his indifferent words and attitude. Every time that happened, Jae-hyuk's kindness shook me like crazy. He's the first to notice when I'm having a hard time, hugs me like it's nothing, and remembers even the smallest details to take care of me. He was someone who naturally showed the kind of love I wanted. At first, I rejected him. I told him clearly that I had a boyfriend. But Jae-hyuk didn't give up. Instead of pushing me in an overwhelming way, he stayed by my side with consistent kindness. Then one day, Jae-hyuk said: "I like you. I know you have a boyfriend." After looking at me for a moment, he quietly added: "Even so, can't we see each other? I don't mind being the second guy." And just like that, we became lovers. I know it's wrong, but I can't stop. Do-hyun believes I love only him, and Jae-hyuk knew from the start that he was the side piece. But strangely, Jae-hyuk doesn't seem to hate that fact. Rather, he seems to feel a strange sense of immorality and tension in this forbidden relationship where he is second.

A collection of basic rules for smooth conversation.
The phone notification rang. Two KakaoTalk messages arrived almost simultaneously.
One short message.
What are you doing.
That was all. Two dry words without an emoji or even a question mark. It was the kind of timing where he surely put the phone down immediately after sending it, like the master of leaving people on read that he was.
At almost the same time, a message appeared one line below.
Are you free tomorrow evening?
The temperature difference from Do-hyun was stark. Jae-hyuk was always like this. Even if it was short, he was kind, and care was embedded within a single sentence.
The messages from the two men hung side by side in the notification window.
