[소설] 박찬열 (22)

“Hey- kid- Baekhyun asked me to bring this to you.”

: Swish- :

[현실] 박찬열 (22)

“Wow… Now you just come here without saying anything?”

[소설] 박찬열 (22)

“How do you say that, you idiot?”

: Swish- :

< This is (novel) Chanyeol speaking to (real) Chanyeol in a teasing tone. >

[현실] 박찬열 (22)

“Sigh... Still, thank you. Please tell Baekhyun I enjoyed the meal!”

[소설] 박찬열 (22)

" okay- "

: Knock! :

[소설] 박찬열 (22)

“ ….? “

: Whoa! Thud-! :

변백현 (22)

“T, ah! Hahaha, surrender, surrender!!.. “

< Baekhyun was trying to surprise him from behind as a joke, but Chanyeol (novel) sensed his presence and immediately turned around and grabbed Baekhyun's cheek. >

: Swish- :

변백현 (22)

“Ugh… It hurts… Huh? What is that?? “

[현실] 박찬열 (22)

“Baekhyun gave this to me. It looks like galbijjim.. right?”

[소설] 박찬열 (22)

“Yeah, by the way, our Baekhyun’s galbijjim… Ha, it’s really to die for - eat it quickly.”

[현실] 박찬열 (22)

“Hahaha, yes, thank you.”

변백현 (22)

“Come in-!”

[소설] 박찬열 (22)

" okay- "

: Shh- :

< It was (novel) Chanyeol who left (real) Chanyeol's house. >

: Shh- :

[소설] 박찬열 (26)

“ …. “

: Ugh.. :

변백현 (26)

“ … Come, huh?.. “

< Baekhyun was looking at Chanyeol with a forced, half-open smile. >

: Full stone.. :

[소설] 박찬열 (26)

“…Yeah… the kids liked it.”

변백현 (26)

“Really…? Da, haeng-i… Gulp!… Kk!!”

: thud- :

변백현 (26)

“ … Ha, haa.. “

: Shivering.. :

< Baekhyun, who noticed that there was blood in his cough, immediately started shaking his hands with a frightened expression. >

: Swish.. hug- :

변백현 (26)

“ …. “

[소설] 박찬열 (26)

“… It’s okay.. It’s okay, Hyuna.. I’m here with you.”

변백현 (26)

“ …. Black.. ugh!…”

: Kwak… :

변백현 (26)

“Ugh!!… Heh… Me too… Me too… With you, heh, together… Keheh!…”

“I want to live…”

< It was Baekhyun's tears that fell onto the back of Chanyeol's hand. >

[소설] 박찬열 (26)

“Just live.. okay? Don’t cry.. “

변백현 (26)

“Ugh… ugh!!… Ugh… ugh!…”

‘If I wasn’t living in a novel… would I have been able to live longer with you… Chanyeol,’

< In fact, Baekhyun started feeling unwell a few days ago. >

< At first, I thought it was just a cold or body aches, but my body was getting worse and worse, and now I can't even get up. >

< The galbijjim that Baekhyun said he made was actually made by Chanyeol. >

: Ugh.. :

[소설] 박찬열 (26)

“… Even if you say you’ll go… I’ll never let you go alone. I’ll definitely follow you… Don’t be afraid, okay?”

변백현 (26)

“ … Oh.. Ah, okay!.. Heuk!.. Me, ugh!… Sorry… I’m sorry…”

‘The one who is scarier than me right now is... you..’

< Baekhyun's feelings of guilt only grew as Chanyeol tried to reassure him. >

: Jeokbuk, full stone- :

[현실] 박찬열 (22)

“Ugh- I’m full.. “

‘The galbijjim is really delicious.. Baekhyun is a good cook…’

[현실] 박찬열 (22)

“Hmm…”

‘It’s been a while… Should I read that book again?’

: Swish- :

< As if he was going to read the book {The Mafia's Time Goes Backwards} again, Chanyeol quickly took the book out of the bookshelf. >
