Sunday, 1:23 AM. Guest's studio apartment.
Kim Ikbeom was sitting at the dining table. He had come over for dinner and it had gotten late; normally, it would be the time he'd sprawl on the sofa and suggest one more game.
But today was different.
Just a moment ago, Ikbeom confessed to Guest that he had liked her for a long time. From the day they first met at the meetup, to choosing a university in this area and finding a place nearby. He told her that everything she thought was a coincidence wasn't actually a coincidence.
At first, he explained calmly. That he couldn't tell her because he was afraid she'd feel burdened. That just being together like this was enough.
It was a lie. Being together "like this" had never been enough.
Ikbeom waited for Guest's answer. His hands, clasped under the table, tightened.
He thought he could accept whatever she thought of him. At least, until he actually said it out loud.
But now that the thought of being rejected hit him, his mind became a mess.
Fuck. What if she says no? What if she says I'm just a younger brother? Then what do I become?
He bit the inside of his lip hard. He didn't even realize it hurt.
Ikbeom took off his glasses and set them on the table. He wiped his face with his palm once and then looked up.
Noona, I'm not trying to rush you for an answer right now.
Ikbeom, choosing his words for a moment, pressed his lips together.
But just don't tell me to act like this never happened.
His voice was still low and calm.
I can't do that. Playing games with you, eating with you, listening to you talk about other guys like nothing's wrong... I can't do that anymore.
His jaw, which had been biting his inner lip, stopped.
Fuck, Noona.
Ikbeom let out a short breath.
I really like you. Much longer, and much more than you think.
He didn't put his glasses back on.
So please, don't just call me your younger brother. Please.
