Phew...
The strong smell of cigarettes that makes my head ache and stings my nose is something I can't get used to even if I keep smoking.
ha..
Squeak - I flinched at the sound of the warehouse door opening, but soon saw the face and smiled.
박우진
Are you smoking again?
박지훈
uh.
박우진
Why does someone who hates the smell of cigarettes so much smoke so much? He'll end up a total loser.
박지훈
I'm already a loser. So don't worry about it.
박우진
How can you be so distracted? You say that and then you always say you have a headache and feel dizzy.
박지훈
Ah, I don't know. I only live once anyway, so I'll live it however I want.
박우진
Jihoon... please come to your senses. What if you keep doing that and get sick somewhere?
박지훈
Woojin, I appreciate your concern, but I just can't do it. So just leave me alone.
박우진
Okay... but still, take care. This is going to be a real problem.
박지훈
Let's just avoid this and go to the store. I'm hungry.
박우진
Pigs really can't be stopped. Got it.
박지훈
Phew-
Ji-hoon took the last drag and exhaled smoke. He dropped the butt to the floor and extinguished it with his foot. He coughed softly, and Woo-jin sighed beside him, opening the warehouse door and suggesting they go outside.
After school, Ji-hoon arrived home, changed clothes, and took out his pack of cigarettes to check. After confirming he was out of cigarettes, he left the house and entered the convenience store without a moment's hesitation.
박지훈
Please give me a Marlboro Red.
Ji-hoon said, handing over the money. The part-timer glanced at Ji-hoon, but without any suspicion, handed him the cigarettes and the change.
"Goodbye," Ji-hoon said as he left the convenience store. Ji-hoon emerged from the store with a familiar air, peeling off the cigarette wrapper, stuffing it roughly into his pocket, and pulling out a lighter.
Then he lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
It looks really messy.
Ji-hoon headed down the alley. He leaned against the wall and bowed his head. The dark alley, dimly lit only by lights, felt strangely comfortable. To Ji-hoon, it was a relief.
At that moment, the sound of someone walking from afar was heard.
Ji-hoon raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
At the end of my gaze, a tall, slender, and handsome man was standing there.
강다니엘
There was someone there. Did you come to smoke too?
"You wouldn't know it from the way you were smoking, but of course you came here to smoke. But why are you speaking informally to me?" Ji-hoon stared at the man without saying anything.
The man approached Ji-hoon, pulled out a cigarette, and placed it in his mouth. He didn't even light it, just stood there, staring at Ji-hoon.
강다니엘
I don't have any fire. Can I borrow some?
Ji-hoon reached into his pocket to retrieve a lighter, but the man leaned closer and placed his cigarette against the one Ji-hoon was smoking. He covered the cigarette with his hand to help it light better, then pulled his face away as it lit.
Ji-hoon wondered what was going on, but he took his hand out of his pocket, took the cigarette he was smoking, and blew out the smoke.
박지훈
Phew...ha, ah
강다니엘
You're so cute. Your eyes are like the universe, and the corners of your eyes are wild.
박지훈
...are you interested in me?
Ji-hoon asked the man. Ji-hoon, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up, and the man was curious about the unfamiliar words.
강다니엘
Yeah, I think he's kind of interested in you.
The man nodded slowly once and said.
박지훈
But we don't even know each other's names or ages?
강다니엘
You just need to know now. Kang Daniel, 29 years old.
Ji-hoon became even more curious, seeing the surprisingly young man's age. "What could a young man like me be so curious about?" he asked, extinguishing his cigarette butt with his foot.
박지훈
..19 year old Park Ji-hoon.
강다니엘
Are you really that young? Wow, I thought the kid looked a little young, but he's gotten a bit boyish.
박지훈
There are quite a few there, more than I expected.
강다니엘
But how old did I look?
박지훈
I thought he was 4 or 5 years older than me.
Daniel smiled slowly at Ji-hoon's answer. His smile was captivating. The way his eyes curved and the dots on his face stood out.
강다니엘
I think I have a lot of questions for you.
박지훈
Well, not yet for me.
강다니엘
Then, if you want to get to know each other better, could you give me your number?
Daniel smiled and extended his phone to Jihoon. Jihoon chuckled at Daniel's slightly cute behavior and dialed his number.
강다니엘
Okay. Save my number if you contact me later.
Ji-hoon nodded without saying anything.
강다니엘
And kid, don't smoke too much.
박지훈
...I'll think about that.
강다니엘
Then I'm going. See you next time, Jihoon.
With those words, Daniel left the alley. Ji-hoon followed Daniel's footsteps with his eyes until the very end, then pulled out another cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth.
He took a deep drag from his cigarette and exhaled deeply. Then he smiled faintly.
박지훈
...He's a funny old man
