Kiss, I Want to Kiss Season 3 Collaboration
17. When a loved one cries (Whistle)
이대휘
Hey Eunsang... Eunsang, I'll be there soon!! Just wait a minute!!!
He hugged the doll tightly and called its name, "Eunsang, Eunsang!" Woong looked at her pitifully and wondered, "What on earth is wrong with her?" This was probably the most heart-pounding moment for Daehwi. Only when Woong started nagging did he leave the doll alone.
전 웅
Is he that much better than me? Am I completely forgotten?
Huh, you just called him that?! He banged his spoon on the table in anger. At this rate, we could even get a divorce. Didn't you just say "him" first? No, you said it first... This childish fight went on for dozens of minutes.
전 웅
If you like Lee Eun-sang that much, go to him!!
이대휘
You know who doesn't want to go?! I want to go too!
We're going to the concert in two hours. How much will the fight be? If this situation continues, Daehwi will barely be able to wave his lightstick, let alone cheer. It was obvious that Eunsang would leave without even shouting his name. After all, the most jealous king of this era is Jeon Woong.
전 웅
Are you just not letting me go to the concert? I ask you one last time, do you like me or Lee Eun-sang?
이대휘
.....
Seeing Dae-hwi hesitate, Woong touched his head. But to Dae-hwi, this was like asking, "Do you hate Mom? Do you hate Dad?" Oh, and by the way, Dae-hwi has always had a bad relationship with his biological parents.
I liked them both equally, but since saying I liked both meant I couldn't go to the concert, so I ended up saying I liked Woong better. But as expected, the reaction was unexpected.
전 웅
Then I don't have to go see Eunsang?
이대휘
What? Where is that?! Oh, really, that's why I said I don't like it..!
전 웅
...You hate me now..?
Oh, no, that's not it. Judging by Woong's expression, it was already too late to make excuses. This time, the problem wasn't the concert, but Woong's hurt feelings. Daehwi clung to him and tried to act cute, but it didn't work because he'd been doing it for years.
이대휘
Hey, I like you the most. Who else could you possibly like besides you? If you didn't like me, you wouldn't have gotten married.
전 웅
Go to Lee Eun-sang... A guy like me needs to get away from our Dae-hwi...
Her expression seems genuinely disappointed in Dae-hwi, but she continues to say "we" before his name. Our Dae-hwi, our baby...
이대휘
Okay... I'm sorry, what can I do to make you feel better?
전 웅
Huh... I'm telling you, look after me too, not just Eunsang. I'm the one who loves and understands you the most, right? Ugh, I raised you when you were little, so you think it's natural...
Suddenly, he started talking rapidly, as if rapping, and patted his waist. Daehwi, who had been quietly listening to Woong's nagging, naturally couldn't stand it anymore and got up to get ready to go to the concert. Woong followed Daehwi, who had a rotten expression on his face. "Ah, stop following me!"
전 웅
In the past, even if I told them not to use formal language, they would always call me senior, but now they don't even do it when I ask them to...
이대휘
Oh my... how did you know that when you lost your memory once in the middle..! That's a dark history.
"Speak politely to me, please!" "I think Woong-i misses the past a lot. No, a little too much." "Okay, I understand," I said, and he frowned and became serious.
이대휘
Yes, senior, I will go see Eunsang.
전 웅
Not like that!! You know what you used to do back then? Like, like...acting cute!
이대휘
What, when did I ever do that? I wasn't acting cute back then.
At seventeen, Dae-hwi was cold and blunt. I always thought he'd be like that, but meeting Woong transformed him into the Lee Dae-hwi he is today.
전 웅
Tch, that's too much. Okay, do whatever you want...
Unable to beat Daehwi, no, losing to him every day, Woong grumbled and prepared to leave. After Daehwi left, Woong smiled, saying how cute he was.
이대휘
My brother, you know I love you a lot, right? Yeah?
전 웅
Don't lie... This, Dae-hwi is going too far...
이대휘
...Are you crying, hyung? No, just a moment.
He kept saying he loved someone other than himself, and Dae-hwi's attitude seemed to really upset him, so he shook his shoulders and shed a tear or two. Dae-hwi was momentarily shocked and at a loss as to what to do, shocked by the fact that he had made Woong cry.
이대휘
Me, I'm sorry..! Don't cry, hyung... Is it because I was bad..?
전 웅
I like you the best, but you're not, so that's why! It's frustrating.
When Woong, who usually doesn't cry, cried, Daehwi also started to sob. "Why, you know, when people around you cry, you start to cry too. At that moment, Daehwi felt sorry and started to cry too."
전 웅
...? Hey, why are you... Ah, seriously, why are you crying..!!
이대휘
I made you cry, hyung. You keep talking about other people..!
The situation, where they were both crying, seemed absurd and he let out a hollow laugh. Woong-i decided to calm Dae-hwi down and resolve the situation, so he patted him on the back and told him not to cry.
전 웅
What should I do with this baby... I can't be mad, really.
이대휘
...are you going to be mad at me?
전 웅
You know I can't stand to see you cry. When you cry, I feel like I've failed my duty, and it breaks my heart. Who can stand to see someone they love cry?
I listened quietly, squirming in Woong's arms. They were the same height, but anyone could tell that Dae-hwi was smaller and younger. Perhaps he still felt like a child.
전 웅
So baby, don't cry.
이대휘
I told you I'm not a baby..! I've been an adult for a long time, how long are you going to keep calling me a baby?
Dae-hwi's outburst was so adorable that I burst out laughing. "Ah, he's so cute," I repeated, clutching his cheek tightly. How could an adult be this cute?
이대휘
Woof... It hurts...! This kind of thing only happens in the beginning of a relationship...
전 웅
It's not something you do when you're in a relationship, but something you do with a cute person. Our Daehwi~
이대휘
Hey, hurry up and get ready to go! What if you're late?
I was surprised to see how much time was left, and ran to my closet. I grabbed something to wear and showed it to Dae-hwi. He said, "Are you crazy?" and only after hearing that did I put on proper clothes. I'm going to a concert, so I should wear something pretty.
전 웅
...It's really hard to match Lee Dae-hwi.
이대휘
Keep quiet and get dressed.
전 웅
