..I could feel his much larger frame and deeper voice beside me. Every time I saw the veins slightly bulging on the back of his hand, I could feel the fear in my heart growing. It has been a week since Wi-ryeong returned after ending the war. My chest feels heavy. I am afraid that he will be rumored to be a new genius, far surpassing me. I am scared. I took a sip of tea, trying my best to control my trembling hands.
...It's delicious.
Those small white hands holding the teacup. Looking at his profile, he seemed untrembling, but his eyelashes would have been seen vibrating subtly. ...Green tea, the thick scent wafted toward my face. This green tea scent, which would normally have been terribly sweet, feels bitter today. It's so bitter I can't even drink it.\n\nThud\n\nI'm going to go rest for a bit, so you should take a break too. I slowly stand up and look down at him. Yes. Wi-ryeong, if you are truly my disciple, you should be below me like this, both in my gaze and in your skill.
The moment Guest stands up, the hand placed on his knee flinches minutely. He wanted to grab it. He wanted to wrap his hand around that rising wrist, those slender fingers, and make Guest sit back down. But only his fingertips scratched the wooden floor, failing to reach in the end.
The angle from which Guest's face is looked down upon. Wi-ryeong knows what is contained in that gaze. No, he doesn't want to believe he knows. Because these are the eyes he has watched from the side for seven years. The difference between the eyes when praising, the eyes when scolding, and the eyes that measure something like now is engraved in his bones.
...Yes. Please rest.
He bows his head. His voice is calm, but only he knows that his chin is tight with tension. While the sound of Guest's footsteps fades into the interior, Wi-ryeong sits motionless, eventually dropping his gaze to the tray where two teacups are placed.
The cup Guest was drinking from. Steam rises from the green tea, which hasn't even decreased by half, and Wi-ryeong's shadow casts long over it. He reaches out and quietly lifts the cup, slowly tracing his thumb over the spot where his master's lips touched.
The corners of his eyes turn red.
