I was a fool. There couldn’t possibly have been such a fool. Perhaps if a fool became a human, it would be Ki Young-hyun.
When I got into the taxi with Dae-han, I completely forgot that the town he was referring to was Buchon. The town he mentioned was a long way from Jaecheon-dong, where the meat market was already developed. It would probably take an hour or so by car.
It was understandable that Lim Dae-han lived alone. It was far from Jaecheon-dong and much further from school. In any case, the taxi arrived at the location he specified on the quiet road. Even from a distance, the town’s entrance appeared to be very luxurious. The same could be said about fruit shops and convenience stores. I asked him to stop by a fruit shop to buy some fruit, but he grabbed my wrist and dragged me away forcefully. And also when I was standing in front of his house.
“…”
“… Is this really your house?”
It was the kind of house you’d only see in a drama or a movie. To be honest, the majority of my friends’ homes were apartments, villas, or red brick houses. It was the first time I didn’t know what to call his house.
It was even more unsettling because our house was not one that couldn’t be purchased at all. My father was a reasonably high-ranking civil servant as well. My brother lived quite leisurely for a college student, and I’m now a student. I went to both the academy and the tutoring without worrying about money. So far, I haven’t been concerned about my tuition. Lim Dae-han, on the other hand, was much more than that.
“…You are so rich.”
That was all I could say at best. Lim Dae-han remained silent. He didn’t respond. He was as calm as he had been when I first saw his penis. I remembered the ones who stated Lim Dae-han was the son of a butcher or something. They clearly had no idea what they were talking about. Lim Dae-han would never have been hurt by hearing their reproach. Judging by his personality and wealth, it was clear that he would have laughed at them.
Lim Dae-han rang the doorbell next to the large gate, which was spacious enough for people to come in and out of. The sound was pretty loud. Even though there was a place to press the password, Lim Dae-han pressed it.? Soon a voice was heard.
– Did Dae-han come?
“Yes. Please open the door.”
Was it his mother…?
The voice was gentle. My body tightened as a result of my nervousness. I quietly hid behind Lim Dae-han without realizing it. Perhaps he was feeling something since he turned his head to look at me. The corners of his mouth, which had before been calm, raised obliquely. He placed his hand on top of my head. Then he stroked it gently.
“What are you afraid of?”
His voice was as calm as usual. The gate soon opened, and Lim Dae-han turned back to face the front. He then walked away without hesitation. I simply followed him. I hastily shifted my gaze over the yard.
Wow…? I barely managed to swallow my exclamation.
Lim Dae-han’s house was spacious from the yard. The grass was spread out, and there were no animals, but it was well maintained like a simple garden. The road leading to the front door of the house was carved out of rocks and looked like a stepping stone.
When I entered the entrance hall by taking the low stairs, the door opened and a middle-aged woman draped in an apron you’d only see on TV poked her head out. She gave a warm impression that was unlike Lim Dae-han’s. Was it his mother…? As I looked at his eyes quickly, Lim Dae-han said.
“What about my mother?”
“Madam went out for a while. Dae-ryong liked that his older brother was coming, but where did he go?”
Standing behind him, I was taken aback as I looked around. She was not his mother. So, she was someone who worked in the house? What I saw only on TV was a natural situation for Lim Dae-han.
I repeated closing and opening my lips several times. I was standing behind Lim Dae-han, and when I appeared unexpectedly, the aunt stared at me with surprise.
“Your friend?”
“Yes. What are you doing? Say hello.”
He reached out behind his back and pushed me forward. I smiled and said, “Hello. I’m Ki Young-hyun…” I greeted her awkwardly. The aunt’s eyes were beautifully folded.
“Nice to meet you. Come inside.”
Lim Dae-han motioned for me to enter first. I smiled awkwardly, took off my shoes, and went inside. I wore the slippers the aunt had given me. Lim Dae-han followed.
“Do you want to go up and tell your mother later when she comes?” The aunt in front of me asked Lim Dae-han.
“I’ll go up. Call me when my mother comes.”
What were you talking about, seriously…
Lim Dae-han walked past me as I stood there blankly. I then followed Lim Dae-han’s back. Lim Dae-han went inside and took a few steps up the stairs. We went up to the second floor. I knew there was a second floor before I even entered the house.
I wondered where Lim Dae-han’s room was.? As I pondered it to myself, we went into the corner and climbed the stairs again. The house was so big… I couldn’t even react, and I was so nervous that all I could do was look around.
“It’s the best…”
Then I ended up in admiration where Lim Dae-han had stopped. Lim Dae-han pulled his two hands that had been stuck in his pockets. He took the bag I was carrying on my back.
I looked around the hanok, which was even more amazing, splendid, dignified, and antique than the one I saw when I went to a historical drama or a folk village.
The house as a whole was unmistakably Western-style when viewed from the front, yet the innermost part of the house was a hanok. There was a floor, as well as a little backyard with an appropriate combination of bamboo and pine. However, the interior was a strange combination of hanok and Western houses.
There was a large sofa in the shape of a D in the living room, and the TV was huge. This was a real luxury house… I was thinking to myself and trying to walk around, but Lim Dae-han grabbed my forearm and stopped me.
“…What?”
When he leaned over, I came to my senses. As I looked up at Lim Dae-han, his head slowly approached me. Kiss. He kissed my lips softly and then parted.
“Let’s go to my room.”
He said while holding my forearm.
“Can’t we go and look around for a little bit more?”
He frowned when I asked him. But he didn’t say no. When he gave permission, I planned to take a good look around.
A small head popped up halfway over the back of the sofa.
“…”
“…”
“…”
I, Lim Dae-han, and the kid were staring each other in the eyes. I quickly remembered Lim Dae-han’s younger brother’s name. Dae-ryong-i. Lim Dae-ryong. I hope he didn’t see us kissing. No, I guess he couldn’t see it because he was hiding behind the sofa. Unlike Lim Dae-han, I gently waved my hand to Dae-ryong, who was staring at us with his big eyes.
“…Hello, Dae-ryong.”
Dae-ryong slowly bowed his head in greeting.
“Say hello properly.”
Lim Dae-han said quite sternly. I was so surprised that I immediately looked back at Lim Dae-han. However, he did not make eye contact with me. Dae-ryong disappeared from behind the sofa. Then, with the sound of rapid footsteps, he soon appeared before us.
Dae-ryong came out, looked at Lim Dae-han, then grabbed Lim Dae-han’s leg and hid behind his back.
“Hello, brother…”
He only looked me in the eyes and greeted me nervously. His voice was so soft. The hand holding onto Lim Dae-han’s trousers was small. Having suffered from my older brother since I was little, my heart melted and flowed down when this cute baby greeted me.
I lightly touched the back of my nose and sat down with my knees bent.
“Hello, Dae-ryong. Older brother’s name is Ki Young-hyun. Ki Young-hyun.”
“… Ki Young-yeon.”
“No, Young, hyun.”
“Young-hyun… hyung.”
I almost covered my mouth with my hand. Dae-ryong melted my heart to the point where I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t have a younger brother, and he was really cute even though he was Lim Dae-han’s younger brother, so my heart swelled considerably.
However, Lim Dae-han placed his hand over Dae-ryong’s shoulder as if it were nothing. Then he lifted him like a claw machine…
“I told you not to come in alone because it’s dangerous.”
“… Because you said you were coming.”
“Since Hyung would stay in the room, let’s go down. I’ll take you.”
No, I didn’t think it was even necessary to speak so harshly when such a cute little brother wants to be with his older brother. Lim Dae-han caressed Dae-ryong’s cheek. It was obviously comforting, but it did not appear to be comforting.
Dae-ryong had a gloomy expression on his face. I recognized that expression. I always wanted to play with my older brothers and sisters when I was younger, but I couldn’t since I was too young. At the moment, it was the expression that stated, ‘I want to play too, and I want to play with Hyung.’
I opened my arms wide to Dae-ryong.
“Would you like to go play with Hyung?”
“…”
At my suggestion, Dae-ryong glanced at Lim Dae-han.
“Well,”
Lim Dae-han made a troubled voice. However, after a little bit of word from Dae-han, I crawled on my knees and opened my arms to Dae-ryong a little more. Dae-ryong then approached me with a short stride and hugged me. He was soft and smelled good. I curled up my lips and wrapped my arms around Dae-ryong.
“Let’s go to your older brother’s room…”
I said while rubbing my cheek against his soft hair. I took Dae-ryong and stood facing Lim Dae-han. I didn’t know his room, so I asked him to show me the way. Lim Dae-han, who was facing me, gave me an annoyed expression. But I didn’t care.
