[BL] TROPICAL MIDNIGHT

#09_Are you doing this on purpose?

When I opened my eyes in the morning, I felt a sense of emptiness at the familiar ceiling.

It had only been a few hours, but it felt like a long time had passed, hazy and distant. My head was pounding, and I couldn't get up quickly, so I covered my eyes with my arm.

All that remained was the image of Dong-Hyeon leaving first, leaving himself behind.

If you ask me if I love you.

전웅

-...

It is a false love created by the thirst for love.

전웅

-No, but still. If that idiot Kim Dong-hyun likes me, he shouldn't go, so he should stay by my side and help me like him.

He turned his body to the right and reached for his cell phone.

After roughly checking the time, I went into KakaoTalk to check the numerous messages that had piled up.

There was no content to wait for, just a bunch of useless texts.

전웅

-You should have asked me to keep you by your side and love you. Forget about me. What's the point of going because you love me? Jeon Woong, you idiot.

It was a breakup that seemed like it would be a grand narrative that would unfold in a love story of the century, but in the end, it was just the foolish tantrum of ordinary Korean men in their 20s.

전웅

-I have to love Dong-hyun, and Dong-hyun has to get revenge and like me. But Dong-hyun is delicate, so he must have been hurt.

Woong sat up and threw off the blanket.

전웅

-I can take it.

In the end, the most vicious emotion was what melted the proud person.

Do you want to eat with your brother??

I just wrote it and then erased it. I just thought I was such a crazy kid.

I thought about the last words I exchanged with Dong-hyun yesterday.

김동현

'Hey, you know you're a piece of shit if you try to hit me first, right?'

전웅

"You know, Donghyun, don't be an idiot. I'll see you again soon."

Damn it.

전웅

-If you like me, why don't you just contact me first? Kim Dong-hyun!

김동현

"No, you said you loved me. Then you should stay by my side. How come it's already afternoon and you haven't contacted me at all!

It was barely 12:01. Donghyun let out a silent scream and glared at his phone as if he was going to kill it.

김동현

-Am I an idiot? What can I expect from someone I don't even like? I bet you've found a good man who loves you and forgotten about me by now.

I was running ahead for a while, and my scalp was aching from pulling my hair out.

김동현

-Fuck, I should've just pretended to be crazy and slept. Then I should've said it.

He just kicked the blanket over himself and said something with a hint of evil in it, saying that since he couldn't steal her heart, he would at least steal her body.

김동현

-How come you haven't contacted me even once? You don't want to be trash, is that it? Is that all love is, Jeon Woong?

The two rooms were two floors apart, three rooms to the left. Anyone caught between them would have suffocated and jumped out the window, sending a murderous blast of energy toward each other.

김동현

-Ha, I really won't contact you today.

.

전웅

-Kim Dong-hyun, let me contact you.

.

Even though it was in a different space, I thought the same thing, thinking it would be a waste of money, and headed towards the sea.

We knew we were near each other, but we never met eyes. It was a coincidence, akin to a divine play, and a keen sense of intuition.

김동현

'Damn, why is that guy here? Why is he wearing the clothes I gave him yesterday?'

전웅

'Hey, since you're facing Kim Dong-hyun, why don't you try provoking him?'

While maintaining a close eye contact, Woong unzipped the clothes Donghyun had handed him and wrapped them around his waist.

Among those with tanned skin, he was the only one with skin as white as soft tofu, and he received gentle attention from those around him.

김동현

-That crazy guy.

전웅

'What if we fall apart even more? It's either all or nothing anyway.'

He took a deep breath and walked into the sea, step by step. The seawater rippled and the sand floated.

Dong-Hyeon's mental state also became disorganized like sand and floated upward.

김동현

-Let's not be stupid. Let's not be stupid.

I tried to turn my head away and just slurped down the disgustingly tasteless coconut juice.

Here and there, I could hear the laughter and compliments of friendly American people. It was almost too much when I got wet.

It was beautiful, even the hand that ran through my wet hair was so pretty.

Moreover, the delicately sculpted muscles drove Dong-Hyeon crazy to the point where it was difficult to take his eyes off them.

.

전웅

-Hmm, Kim Dong-hyun, I do care. I guess he really doesn't want to be an idiot.

He turned his back on Dong-hyun and began to part the water again. Dong-hyun saw Woong turn his head towards him and fixed his gaze on him again.

When you fall in love, don't you develop an incredibly sharp intuition? Even though they're just one of the many people who enter your field of vision, there are always those who surround you with a strange aura.

Sarai, who could be seen as just a tourist, caught my attention in particular.

김동현

-Oh, that's why you crazy guy told me to put on some clothes.

I ran aimlessly along the sandy beach where my feet sank in and it was difficult to run, leaving the coconut on the ground.

At a speed much faster than the dark mass walking towards the bear.

I swam until my arms were numb and arrived right in front of Woong. As usual, I looked at Dong-Hyeon with my clear eyes.

김동현

-Jeon Woong. Are you really doing that on purpose?

I grabbed his hand, gasping for breath, to keep him from running away.

전웅

-What? But why are you here?

With his characteristically mischievous expression and fox-like gestures, he further ruined Dong-hyeon's mood.

김동현

-멍청이 되려고요. 개 멍청한 호구 새끼 되려고 왔다, 뭐.

전웅

-Hmm, really? My brother was on his way to becoming trash.

김동현

-It's trash. Congratulations.

Dong-hyeon, deeply hurt, waded out of the water. Woong, oblivious, handed him the clothes he had wrapped around his waist.

전웅

-Take these clothes!

김동현

-Just wear it neatly before you nail it into your skin.

Dong-Hyeon, who had not even looked back while speaking, showed a blushing face at Woong's words.

전웅

-Donghyun. I think I can only love you if you're by my side. I don't mind keeping you by my side, even as a pet. Do you want to keep me by your side?

Those who were in love frowned wildly, while those who were not in love smiled gently.

전웅

-It's good for you, and it's good for me. Even if you fight like you're going to kill someone, you make up the next day because you're a weirdo.

Woong walked slowly and grabbed her finger. It was a weak whim, but a cunning move that she knew she could never refuse.
