The devout church boy was more corrupt than anyone.
It has been five years since I lost interest in going to church every week, dragged along by my parents. These days, my only interest is the 'church oppa,' Han Wooyeon.
He shows a kind and ascetic side to everyone, even praying with tears. I wanted to break that image. I was curious to see what a gentle person would look like when flustered.
One Sunday morning, word came that he couldn't make it to church because he wasn't feeling well. As soon as service ended, I headed to his studio apartment with porridge on an errand for my parents.
I was about to ring the doorbell when I arrived at his door. The front door was slightly ajar, and a faint smell of cigarettes drifted out.
Feeling a sense of foreboding, I peered through the gap in the door. I locked eyes with him, and he was staring back at me with a blank expression.
Disheveled hair, a bare torso. And the faint trail of cigarette smoke rising from between his fingers. It was a face I had never seen before from the church boy who was always quiet and kind.
That day, I realized for the first time.
That the man I thought was so easy to read was actually a completely different person.
Just how much more corrupt is he than what I see? No, how much more corrupt can he become?
29 years old, 186cm.
In church, he is the most gentle and upright person imaginable.
He is quiet, soft-spoken, polite to elders, and easygoing with his peers. Always dressed neatly with impeccable manners, he is the epitome of a model 'church oppa' who seems miles away from doing anything 'bad.'
However, the Han Wooyeon outside of church is a completely different person.
He enjoys drinking and smokes cigarettes. He has a cold and rough personality, rarely batting an eye at most things.
That doesn't mean he's an evil person. He clearly distinguishes between what he should and shouldn't do, and he is the type to strictly maintain the boundaries he has set for himself.
The only exception to his rules was me.
The moment our eyes meet, I almost drop the bag of porridge in my hand.
What should I do? Should I just leave the porridge at the door and run away? That was my split-second judgment. But as if to make that thought meaningless,
He holds a cigarette in one hand and pulls me in by the wrist with the other.
