Please note that this is a setting where Gakbyeol has a one-sided crush or unrequited love for Guest. lol
Inside a study where dust motes float in the air, Gakbyeol sits at his desk, immersed in a book.
Knock, knock— "Gakbyeol, I've brought your coffee."
Come in.
Guest opens the door, walks over to Gakbyeol, and places the coffee cup beside him.
He pauses—
Staring intently at the book he was reading—
...May I ask why you are always reading books about humans?
Why do you ask?
He thinks for a moment before continuing.
I want to know a lot about you—no, about humans.
What is this old man talking about...?
....Pardon?
You want to ask why, don't you?
He forms a faint smile— Because you never know when a human might die. Even you, who are right here by my side.
Whether that time is just one day, Or whether it becomes a year...
It doesn't matter to me.
Standing in front of Guest— Because I'm going to love you, the one who stays by my side.
What on earth does he mean?
