[BL] I don't need a female lead
54. Do you find my heart funny?



하성운
........

Seongwoon stared blankly out the window.


하성운
18 years... a lot has changed... right?


하성운
When I first came here... it was so pretty...


하성운
Maybe it's because you have a filter on you...

Seong-un hesitated for a while, then closed his eyes and whispered softly.


하성운
I miss you so much


하성운
Do you really know how bad you are? You don't even appear in my dreams once... Just once... Please appear...


하성운
You know Woong too, right?


하성운
Do you remember the bear that Seol-im was carrying back then?


하성운
That little kid is growing up and writing a novel with Donghyun, the guy you want to protect, just like us back then...


하성운
I haven't seen you since then


하성운
..........


하성운
Do you regret it?


하성운
Do you regret saving that child?

Seong-un opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.


하성운
I regret it


하성운
So I tried to protect it


하성운
The child you traded your life for


하성운
Well... I don't think I remember

Seongwoon smiled bitterly and stretched.


하성운
Should I walk that street then?

The moment Seongwoon turned around, he ran into Woojin and Daehwi.


하성운
uh.....?


박우진
ah.......


이대휘
.........


박우진
I didn't mean to hear that...


하성운
......know


하성운
It's my fault for talking to myself

Woojin, unaware of the situation, fidgeted and looked around.

Dae-hwi patted Woo-jin's hand, furrowing his brow slightly. He whispered to Woo-jin that it was okay and took a step closer to Seong-un.


이대휘
Come back and walk the streets you walked on back then


이대휘
Oh and......


이대휘
I came to tell you that Snow White has arrived.


이대휘
I will also tell His Majesty on the way.


하성운
Yeah, I will



After seeing Seongwoon leave the house

Woojin approached Daehwi.


이대휘
You look like you have a lot of questions?


박우진
I won't deny it


박우진
I have a question


이대휘
Okay, I'll answer.


이대휘
Instead, answer me too


박우진
I'll do it first


박우진
How can you be sure that Seongwoon doesn't love Woongnim?


이대휘
Well, Seongwoon hyung has someone he likes.


이대휘
Then it's my turn?


이대휘
What's your relationship?


박우진
what?


이대휘
What's your relationship?


이대휘
With that young lady


박우진
........who


이대휘
You know?


이대휘
The young lady whom His Majesty met when he came to Blip


박우진
.............

The day after Donghyun left for Blip

Woojin was training as usual. Wiping his sweat and gazing up at the sky, he looked quite mysterious. Because he always kept a blank expression, everyone was afraid to approach him.

There were quite a few maids who secretly liked him.


박우진
[after......]

A woman who had been waiting for Woojin after his performance came up to him in a fit of anger.

???
[Park Woojin!!!!!!]


박우진
[N...sister......]

When the woman wiggled her eyebrows, Woojin flinched and quickly changed her address.


박우진
[no]


박우진
[Young-ae......]

???
[Your Majesty?]


박우진
[You shouldn't come here]


박우진
[Please go back quickly]

???
[Your Majesty!!!!]


박우진
[..........]


박우진
[Went to Blip]

???
[ah]

???
[Blip?]

???
[Is it because I remember that time when that damn prince was taken away as a hostage?]


박우진
[Be careful what you say]


박우진
[Even if His Majesty is not present, this is the palace.]

???
[Okay, Your Majesty, are you going to meet that son of a bitch?]


박우진
[...........]

???
[Ha... What good is a slave who can't ascend to the position of empress?]


박우진
[I told you to be careful...]

???
[why?]

The woman smiled crookedly at Woojin's slightly angry expression.

???
[under?]

And he said, poking Woojin's shoulder with his finger

???
[like that]

???
[Expression Management]

???
[Why is that good idiot getting so emotional?]

???
[Do you like it too?]


박우진
[...........]

???
[Okay, that's good]

???
[You try to seduce him]

???
[Or just use that smart mouth to sabotage it]

???
[It's better than killing me after all]

???
[right?]


박우진
[..........]

Woojin remained silent until the very end. He simply clenched his fists and bowed his head.

I was so angry that my hands were shaking.

She chuckled at the sight of Woojin and left. As she left, Woojin slammed a nearby tree and glared at her, as if he were going to kill her.

It was Dae-hwi who watched the scene from the beginning.


박우진
dirty blood flowing


박우진
A person with the same disgusting blood as me


이대휘
......one more thing


이대휘
Do you like Woongnim?


박우진
........uh


박우진
i like you


박우진
Maybe your feelings toward His Majesty are greater than mine.


박우진
How is it? Do you have the answer now?

Woojin's eyes were hanging dizzy, as if on the verge of tears.


박우진
Do you really have to worry about other people's feelings to feel better?


이대휘
No, bro... That's not me...!


박우진
Isn't it funny that my heart is unreachable? Isn't it?


박우진
What should I do? It's gotten so big that I can't hide it.


이대휘
Brother!! Wait a minute, I have other intentions...

Woojin cut off Daehwi's horse and said


박우진
Thank you. For reawakening my heart, which even I had turned away from.

At that moment, tears fell from Woojin's eyes. Those inexplicable tears that flow when the emotions he wants to hide are exposed.

In fact, Woojin had long known what his feelings for Woong were. That's why he secretly disobeyed Donghyun's order to find Woong.

Because I don't want to see Woong with Donghyun again, because I don't want to feel that bitter feeling again when that smile is directed at someone else, and because I want to suppress my feelings.

But Pandora's box was opened. His only bloodline had seized the key, and Dae-hwi had yanked it open.


이대휘
Bro, I'm sorry... I was just... curious...


박우진
Dch Lee Dae-hwi

Woojin roughly wiped away his tears and left the room, slamming the door shut.


이대휘
..........

Dae-hwi knew best what kind of feelings Woo-jin was feeling, so he realized how much he had hurt Woo-jin.


이대휘
This wasn't my intention...
