The place we were staying was only a 10-minute walk away, so I figured we’d be there in no time if we talked while walking.
"Should we sneak off to a karaoke room or something?"
Taesan said.
"We already went earlier today, just the two of us. You guys go without us."
"Really? What a bummer..."
"Then you two head back to the place. And keep your mouths shut, got it...?"
"Y-yes, of course!"
Just hearing Taesan’s low voice made me instinctively scared. It felt like if I said anything, I wouldn’t be able to act normal that night...?
Swish- swish-
The sea was a little ways off from the roadside, so we walked along listening to the sound of the waves.
If Haneul or Taesan were here, I feel like I could talk more comfortably, but why did it have to be Lee Sanghyuk of all people...? If it was going to be like this, I should’ve found some common topic to talk about during the day.
"...Do you like the sea?"
"Not really."
"I-I see. Let’s hurry up. It’s kind of cold."
I hugged my arms around myself and hunched in on myself. Since it was by the sea, the wind was stronger than at school.
Thump-
Sanghyuk draped the hoodie he’d been wearing over my shoulders. It had a cozy scent that reminded me of him.
"...? What is this."
"Your body’s been infused with kindness? lol"
Before I knew it, Lee Sanghyuk was back to being a master of random bits. Where did the flustered Lee Sanghyuk from earlier go?!
"It’s warm, right?"
"A little. I can see it up ahead."
I ran to the hotel. Sanghyuk followed me at his own pace.
Thud-
"Ah... today was way too exhausting~"
"I’m drained..."
Even for introverted Sanghyuk, today—being outside all day—must have been really hard.
"Are you okay? You must be pretty tired."
"If I just sleep right away, I think I’ll be fine. Is it okay if I shower first?"
I nodded, and Sanghyuk dug through his suitcase before going into the bathroom.
I was rolling around on the bed while looking at my phone when I heard the bathroom door click. I looked over at the bathroom...
"Huh??"
The door immediately shut. I was way too shocked. Ah, he looked like he wasn’t wearing anything...
Swish-
Before long, the door opened again.
"W-what?"
"I-it’s just a habit at home..."
"I’ll just forget it, so don’t do that from now on... I’m gonna shower too."
Trying to calm my pounding heart, I went into the bathroom.
