[Yukseop] Lie

First

"Hey, wake up." Sungjae opened his eyes to the sound of a voice ringing in his ear.

육성재

Ah... let's sleep a little more...

Seongjae said as he pulled Changseop, who was next to him, into his arms.

이창섭

No, please wake up.

Changseop said, pulling Sungjae's cheek. Sungjae grimaced at the force applied to his cheek.

육성재

Why is there so much skinship between us today?

이창섭

Stop it and come out quickly.

Embarrassed by Seongjae's words, Changseop slapped Seongjae on the back and left the room.

육성재

It's cute.

Seongjae smiled and followed her out of the room.

Seongjae closed the door and came out, and was about to head to the living room, but when Changseop told him to come here, he turned his steps towards the kitchen.

이창섭

Eat quickly before it gets cold.

육성재

Oh, kimchi stew?

이창섭

I made it because you like kimchi stew.

육성재

I'll eat well. I'll finish eating and do the dishes.

이창섭

What's going on with Yook Sungjae? He said he'd do it first even though I didn't ask him to.

육성재

You're tired. Doesn't your back hurt?

Seongjae's words brought back memories of last night. Or rather, dawn. Changseob blushed as he recalled the events of dawn.

육성재

What are you thinking about that makes your face turn red?

이창섭

Oh, I don't know. Just eat!

Sungjae playfully laughed and teased Changsub. Changsub ended up yelling back, but their home was filled with laughter and warmth.

While wondering if this life could continue, the two of them decided to live faithfully in the present moment.

That evening, the two of them had come out together to do some business and hurriedly got into a car to go somewhere.

On the way home from work, Eun-kwang contacted them to say that he had been hospitalized after a minor traffic accident, so the two of them got in the car and headed to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital room, Eun-kwang waved at the two who had arrived in a hurry. Eun-kwang spoke in a bored, whiny tone.

서은광

Why are you coming now? I thought you were going to die of boredom.

육성재

I got a call from my brother and came in a hurry. Do you know how worried I was when we both came?

이창섭

That's right... how did you get hit by a car?

As soon as he arrived, he started talking nonstop, worrying about Eun-kwang.

서은광

After work, I was a little tired, so I put my head down and waited for the crosswalk. When I was about to cross, someone in a car saw the wrong signal and... well, there was a bang.

육성재

Then that person was wrong!

서은광

No, it was my fault for not seeing it... But that person was kind and followed me straight to the hospital.

이창섭

Of course it should be. Someone got hurt...

서은광

So that guy just went out to buy me something to eat. Oh, he's right over there!

"Hyunsik!" Sungjae and Changseop turned at Eun-kwang's call. A man in a suit was coming their way.

임현식

You must be acquaintances of Mr. Eun-kwang. Hello, my name is Lim Hyeon-sik.

Ah, yes... hello. Sungjae and Changseop, who had exchanged greetings, quietly watched Hyunsik's actions. They placed a container of shrimp fried rice in front of Eunkwang and placed a spoon in his hand.

임현식

I don't know if it'll suit your taste, but I went to the nearest place and bought it.

서은광

It's really delicious. Hehe, thank you.

Eun-kwang took a spoonful of the fried rice and smiled at Hyun-sik, saying it was delicious. The two looked at each other and whispered in each other's ear, caught in the mood between them.

Don't those two seem a bit off? It must be the first time they've met... Changseob nodded at Sungjae's question and looked at Eunkwang and Hyunsik.

이창섭

It's suspicious...

The four of them chatted like that. When the time reached 9 o'clock, Sungjae and Changsub said goodbye and got into the car to return home.

이창섭

Sigh...I'm tired.

육성재

You've worked hard. Let's wash up and go to bed.

Changseob, feeling tired, went into the bathroom to wash up first. Meanwhile, Sungjae sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and checked the channels.

Changsub and Sungjae, having washed up, changed their clothes, and lay down on the bed together. Sungjae quietly watched Changsub, who was breathing raggedly and staring at the dark ceiling, and then spoke.

육성재

...Are you just going to sleep?

이창섭

Yeah. I'm tired...

Are you really just going to sleep..? She snickered and brought her hand to Changseop's neck. Then she gently stroked his Adam's apple.

이창섭

It tickles...don't do it...ugh!

Suddenly, Sungjae pulled Changseop into his arms and brought his face close to his.

육성재

Can't you not sleep?

Because the distance was too close, Changseop couldn't meet her eyes and turned his head slightly to speak quietly.

이창섭

...do as you please.

At Changseop's words, Sungjae smiled again, gently kissed him, and stroked his waist. Then, he took his mouth off and said,

육성재

I love you, Lee Chang-sub.

이창섭

..me too.

Changseop answered with a small smile, and their lips met again. As their temperature rose, the night deepened.
