A secret known only to thirteen
"Are you here?"
"Yeah, that's right. I saw Baek A-young come in here last year."
"I'm sure it's his house."
"If you're sure, ring the doorbell first."
"Press."
Choi Seung-cheol and Lee Ji-hoon. These two took up arms. If they had gone in groups, it would have looked like they were going to make threats, so they came alone.
The two men standing in front of the green door had angry expressions on their faces, fists clenched, and were glaring at the house. Choi Seung-cheol rang the doorbell. Then a man came out of the house. A woman's voice could also be heard from inside. The owner of this house was Baek A-young's ex-boyfriend.
"Are you Kim××?"Seungcheol
'That's right, but who are you?'
"You've come to the right place. We're Ayoung's friends."Ji-hoon
'Did she order you to do that? To come and pick on my ex-boyfriend? Seriously. I shouldn't have just let you go.'
"That's ridiculous. I think it's your fault."
"You cheated on me? And then you boldly told me to break up with you first. Is that right?"Ji-hoon
'That's right, but did you even say all that? Is that girl a piece of shit?'
Lee Ji-hoon glared at the man as if he were going to kill him. The man, overcome by Lee Ji-hoon's gaze, coughed and tried to close the door. However, Choi Seung-chul's foot prevented him from doing so. Choi Seung-chul spoke to the man who was trying to close the door.
"Are you a coward? Run away."
' what,! '
"If not a coward, then what else could he be?"
"Well, show me proof that you're not a coward."Seungcheol
'Why did you come all of a sudden like this?'
"It's true that you're picking."
"Who wants to kick Baek Ah-young? Ah, it doesn't matter if you kick her because it's your choice. You're giving her unnecessary wounds."
"He's a very precious person to us, right? So, apologize first."
"I'll be watching."Seungcheol

Choi Seung-cheol and Lee Ji-hoon simply gave a warning, though their words were filled with murderous intent. Before heading home, Choi Seung-cheol and Lee Ji-hoon stopped by a convenience store.
"I wanted to hit you."Ji-hoon
"I have to endure it. What if I report it?"Seungcheol
"Yeah, that's why I held back. I didn't want Ah-young to get in trouble."Ji-hoon
Someone told them'Is there anyone more precious than yourself? For whom are you living?'If you ask them, they'll say the name Baek A-young. To that extent, Baek A-young is everything to them, Baek A-young is their world, so it takes an incredible amount of patience for them not to go after the man who hurt her and beat him up. Although deep down, they probably half, if not completely, wanted to kill him.

"Where have you been and why are you here now?"
"Just a little..."Ji-hoon
"Walk, we went for a walk together."Seungcheol
Seungcheol and Jihoon didn't come home until 3 o'clock. It was around 11 o'clock before they left, and I was curious to see what they'd been doing for the past four hours. But they didn't even bother to look at me, just dashed into their room, so I couldn't ask where they'd been. It seemed like they were suppressing their anger. What happened...
All the kids followed Seungcheol and Jihoon into the room. Now I was alone on the second floor. I thought it would be embarrassing if they told me, so I didn't think about eavesdropping. But I was curious. Still, I had to hold back.
***
As if they were done talking, they came out of the room one by one. They got up from the sofa and slid into the room. Jihoon was the only one in the room. He was sitting on the bed, legs straight out, arms crossed, eyes closed, as if thinking. Jihoon, who was leaning against the wall, walked over to me and sat down next to me.
"Ji-hoon."
"Oh, yeah. Why?"
"What are you thinking so seriously about? What's bothering you?"
"What are you worried about? How could you have any worries when you're living so happily with me?"
"It's fortunate if there isn't any..."
I followed Jihoon, leaning against the wall and stretching my legs. Oh, and of course, I linked arms with him. Jihoon smiled faintly at me, then transformed into a cat, crawling up my leg and exposing his belly.
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"Bbaeng, "
"Does Lee Ji-hoon know how to use a girl?"
" ... "
"I first saw you when I was 22. Now you're already 26."
" Mya - ."
"Time really flies... right?"
Grrrrr -
Where is the quantity..?
