In the bedroom, dimly lit by the soft orange glow of the lights, Sajun had truly fallen asleep just 10 minutes after Taehui started reading to him.
But contrary to her earlier threats, the one unable to leave was Taehui herself.
Having put the book down, she sat at the edge of the bed, quietly observing the sleeping Sajun.
“He’s annoyingly handsome.”
Despite her words, Taehui’s gaze softened as she looked at Sajun. His defenselessly sleeping face was a privilege only she could enjoy.
Sajun usually appeared lazy and languid, but his unique aura was so overpowering that few dared approach him. Whether in the past or now, he never let anyone within his boundaries.
Yet those deep black eyes, filled with intense disillusionment and irritation, were bewitching.
In conclusion, he was devil-like.
In novels and movies, no one ever ends up well when entangled with a devil. But she had managed to charm this devil into friendship and maintained an extraordinary bond with him.
Looking at the sleeping Sajun, Taehui sighed softly at a sudden thought.
“Ah, I don’t want to go.”
Tomorrow was the day she had to visit her family home in Ilsan, a monthly ritual. Although she had been living independently in Seoul for five years now, similar to Sajun, this pattern had been repeating every month.
The thought of going to that hell-like home was overwhelming. The only consolation was that Sajun was still the neighbor next door.
With that thought, Taehui comforted herself for today.
“If it gets bad tomorrow night, I’ll just hop over the terrace to Sajun’s place and stay there comfortably.”
From her childhood, the only person who had always been there to offer a safe space and listen to her stories was always in that house. Her friend, Kang Sajun, who kept all her tormentors at bay, including her father.
Even after 13 years, Sajun remained an absolute figure in Taehui’s life, and for that reason, she couldn’t afford to ruin their relationship.
As long as she acted normal and didn’t reveal her newfound feelings, everything should remain unchanged.
She had to leave without losing herself in Sajun’s face, steeling her resolve to stand up. But then, her wrist was caught.
Surprised, she looked down to see Sajun, still with his eyes closed.
“Don’t go to Zio today. Just go home. You can’t sleep when you visit the Ilsan house tomorrow.”
His sleepy voice was unexpectedly touching, knowing he remembered the details of her schedule.
After a moment’s hesitation, Taehui lay beside Sajun.
“Kang Sajun, can I come to your place tomorrow after I visit Ilsan?”
“You’re a thief if you enter a house without its owner. Trespassing, you know?”
“Then give me the code. You know your Ilsan house is empty, why be so stingy with me?”
Suddenly, the seemingly closed eyelids lazily lifted.
With clear black eyes, Sajun asked, “What are we to each other?”
Taehui was momentarily speechless.
Because their friendship didn’t start innocently.
Thirteen years ago, Taehui desperately needed Sajun’s connections. So, she persuaded him to pretend to be friends, agreeing to do anything he asked.
“We end this relationship the moment we see each other as the opposite sex.”
She proposed such an absurd rule. She disliked handsome men, but to approach the popular Sajun, she needed an unconventional approach.
Later, she learned Sajun had accepted because he liked the proposal.
For 13 years, they had been friends under a mutual arrangement. Despite the contrived start, their genuine friendship had flourished over time, all thanks to the rule they had maintained.
Always, it had been Taehui who initiated contact and made the efforts.
Then, a sudden thought struck her.
Did Kang Sajun really think of her as a friend?
Irritated, Taehui snapped back sharply.
“Why are you asking me? It’s you, the absolute ‘top’, who should be telling me.”
“The ‘bottom’ who kicks the ‘top’ should say it.”
“……!”
“Only kicking me is a relief. You pester me with constant nagging, make me take care of you when you pass out drunk, call me to pay when your card maxes out, and make me run errands. What else is there?”
Wow, does he remember all that?
“Enough!”
Taehui, flabbergasted, quickly blinked her eyes as she shot up from the bed.
She had no comeback.
Sure, Sajun was indeed the ‘top’ now, but he had become comfortable and manageable for her. He took her unpredictable moods in stride, never did anything first but complied with her requests.
But she couldn’t deny feeling a bit wronged. After 13 years of being his go-to person, what was wrong with getting a meal or drink from him?
“So, you hate me for all that?”
Taehui asked impudently, to which Sajun replied with a serious face.
Why would I hate you? I adore you to death. Yet another soulless comment from him.
But when Taehui just stared back, Sajun half-sat up.
“If I hated you, would I follow you every time you go to Ilsan?”
Sajun’s words made Taehui’s eyes widen.
“You’re coming to Ilsan this time too?”
“Was there ever a time I didn’t?”
Her lips curved slightly, hearing his commitment to come down again.
