“What, what do you want to do?”

It was a sudden move. Yeonwoo’s fingertips twitched and crumpled on his face.

“My face. When it’s calm, it’s like a sculpture. When I smile, it’s wonderfully handsome. When I frown, it’s a sexy face.”

“What?”

“Now, touch and do whatever you want, Kim Yeonwoo.”

Junhwi looked proud, as if he had just accomplished a great feat.

“What are you talking about again?”

“Don’t you remember? You said that to me on our first night together.”

How on earth does his formidable memory shine even in this drunken state? Why does he remember everything!

Yeonwoo’s face turned bright red with embarrassment and shame. Fortunately, the lighting was dim.

“Can I put glasses on you? Will our Yeonwoo find me beautiful again?”

“Oh, when did you become so sentimental?”

Looking at the disgusted Yeonwoo, Junhwi was busy touching his cheek with Yeonwoo’s hand.

It was pathetic to try to have a conversation with a person in such a state. Yeonwoo let out a light sigh.

Even though it was an awkward way to start a reunion, Yeonwoo felt that they needed to talk about the future since they had met again. However, a serious atmosphere was nowhere to be found.

But the awkwardness didn’t end there.

“Our Yeonwoo. But.”

“Why? What now?”

“I’m thirsty. I want water. Muul.”

······Can a person change so drastically when they’re drunk?

Still, it’s uncomfortable for him, who is completely drunk, to search for water. Yeonwoo sighed a lot of patience and got up to go to the kitchen. No, she tried to.

“Where are you going? Don’t leave me.”

“Hey, bring me water!”

“Absolutely not. Not anymore.”

Junhwi quickly grabbed Yeonwoo’s hand and, bit by bit, tied it firmly, even wrapping the fingers around each joint, and grinned.

“······Gosh.”

Finally, a surprising laugh burst out of Yeonwoo’s mouth.

“Let’s go together, Yeonwoo. I don’t want to be apart. Please.”

“Do you have to be so shameless just to go get some water?”

Yeonwoo’s sarcastic remark couldn’t stop Junhwi. Even on the short distance from the living room to the kitchen, Junhwi stubbornly held onto Yeonwoo’s hand, as if evacuating on a road during a war.

Absurdly, she found herself touched by such a sight. She couldn’t believe herself. Yeonwoo let out a laughter without resistance.

“This, well, it’s not working well. It’s strange.”

Arriving at the kitchen with enthusiasm, Junhwi wrestled with the cap of the bottled water. Still not letting go of Yeonwoo’s hand, he fumbled with the cap using only one hand.

“Of course, it won’t work. You’re doing it with one hand.”

Ugh. Yeonwoo shook her head and, with her free hand, held the bottom of the water bottle.

“Ah. Now it’s done.”

The small success created by the hands of two people meeting made him so happy that he smiled with his eyes gently folded.

Really. Drunk Kwon Junhwi was refreshing. Maybe he himself didn’t know about his drinking habits.

“I should record this strange sight with a video.”
“Why. Do you hate me because I drank? Do you hate it?”

With a slightly twisted pronunciation and aegyo, Kwon Junhwi, who opens his eyes roundly. Without evidence, no one would believe it. Including the person himself.

Anyway, it was confirmed that he was fine, and he drank water. It seems that this man needs time to sober up. Yeonwoo gently pulled out the hand that was subtly caught.

“I drank water, so it’s okay, right? I’ll be going now. Sleep well.”

At those words, Junhwi froze like a person who lost his country. Then, like a dog rushing back to its owner, he hugged Yeonwoo.

“Oh, again, again like this.”

Suffocating. Even though Yeonwoo tapped Junhwi’s rock-hard back with her shoulder, there was no sign of letting go.

“Please stay like this. Stay still.”

“······.”

“I missed you. This sweet fragrance.”

From him tightly attached, a thump, thump, the vigorous sound of his heartbeat could be heard. Yeonwoo couldn’t tell how much he had missed this moment.

“I was wrong. I’m really sorry.”

The coquettish mischief mixed with aegyo disappeared for a moment, and sincerity poured out. His sudden change was bewildering.

······What are you talking about?”

“Leaving you alone. And, more importantly, forgetting that there’s nothing more important in this world than you.”

“······.”

“That’s my fault. I know. So I’m sorry. Because I’m a worthless guy.”

Yeonwoo blinked her eyes silently and enjoyed his intensifying heartbeat.

“Give me another chance. I won’t repeat the same mistake. I promise.”

“······Let’s talk about it again when you’re completely sober.”

The serious and heavy atmosphere felt strangely ticklish. Yeonwoo deliberately said something absurd.

“I am perfectly fine and serious. And there has never been a moment when I wasn’t serious in front of you.”

Is that really true? Looking at his shameless confidence, it seemed like he had returned to his original self.

“Then, are you giving me another chance? Breaking up and everything, it will be as if it never happened. Right?”
