The Taesung faction was quite lax in atmosphere for a gang organization. The leaders of the organization, Ihyeok and Seongjin, were not the type to enforce strict discipline in the first place, and the scale itself was not large. Because of that, Taesung mbers could stick together more closely, and trust could beco their biggest weapon.

However, there were a few unspoken rules that were considered principles within the organization. Whether outside or inside the organization, don’t aim for each other’s backs, if you want to aim, charge from the front, and such. Rules like prioritizing one’s own life.

But there were also a few unspoken rules that only the mbers had to follow among themselves.

One of them was to never bother Ihyeok when his mood was low pressure.

Two mbers were sitting in a corner, observing Ihyeok. Their leader was sitting in front of his desk, sighing deeply and only looking at his cell phone.

Then another mber approached the two, clicking his tongue.

A quiz show suddenly opened. The two mbers who received the question were lost in thought. But they couldn’t find a suitable answer.

Ah, then the two clapped their hands at the sa ti. Co to think of it, unless sothing major ca up, Hyeseong used to visit the office every day without fail. Even if he couldn’t stay long because of work, he would always co to the office and show his face for even just 10 minutes before leaving.

But for so reason, today, he didn’t co even though it was late in the evening.

That’s when it happened. One of the mbers asked a rather sharp question.

Even the one who gave the quiz seed unable to find an answer to that question, as he lowered his voice. No matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn’t find the correlation between the two. When three big n were crouching and huddling in a corner, putting their heads together, Ihyeok was just tightly gripping the innocent screen.

On it was the text ssage conversation between Hyeseong and Ihyeok.

[I don’t think I can co to the office today.]

[Why?]

[I have a personal schedule.]

[What personal schedule. I even bought kkakka to give to Hyeseong.]

[Ahjussi, I’m twenty years old. And I have a club dinner today. So I can’t go.]

[Dinner? Hyeseong goes to things like that too?]

[Yes. It’s an event I can’t miss.]

[If it’s a dinner, you’ll be drinking too?]

[Probably.]

That was Hyeseong’s last text. He asked how much he would drink, if he was good at drinking, but Hyeseong hadn’t replied for an hour.

Well, Ihyeok was also glad that Hyeseong was doing college student-like things. Because he was worried about his too mature side. In the first place, he had also advised him to drink and try dating. But when Hyeseong said he was going to such an event, how should he put it.

Ihyeok muttered softly. Then the three mbers crouching in the corner jumped up.

The three were fidgeting with stupid faces and making a big fuss. Ihyeok sighed even more. Why the hell were those guys doing that over there?

At Ihyeok’s chilling words, the three shut their mouths tightly as if they had glue on them.

Then they soon went back to the corner and sat down. Ihyeok looked at the ssage box with no reply with dissatisfaction.

That’s when it happened. Seongjin ca into the office carrying plastic bags. The three crouching mbers jumped up and bowed to Seongjin.

Ihyeok shook his head. The bag Seongjin handed over was filled with appetizing ice cream like a mountain. The mbers excitedly chose ice cream.

One of them asked Seongjin while munching on ice cream.

At Seongjin’s words, the three let out sighs. Then they started chattering excitedly that these days, too many college students get into accidents by drinking without thinking about the consequences.

And Ihyeok, who was listening to their stories with a displeased face, abruptly got up from his seat.

Ihyeok took his cell phone and left the office. Then he dialed Hyeseong’s number.

[The custor you are trying to reach is currently unavailable…]

The call tone continued for a long ti, and then a spiteful chanical voice rang. Ihyeok montarily cursed under his breath. He knew it was a needless thought. Hyeseong was a wise kid who had enough self-control to not cause problems. So he wouldn’t drink himself senseless and would go ho well on his own.

But after hearing what Seongjin and the kids were talking about, a faint uneasiness strangely spread. Even though Hyeseong wasn’t a little kid, he kept worrying about him. Was this how parents felt when they left their child by the water?

Ihyeok pondered. If he kept calling, Hyeseong might find him persistent. He was already trying like crazy to bring him in as a mber, so if he interfered and paid too much attention, Hyeseong might say he was being annoyingly pestering with that personality of his and might not co here anymore.

Ihyeok took out a cigarette from his chest pocket and put it in his mouth. And he dialed Hyeseong’s number again. If he didn’t pick up this ti either, he was going to try again in about an hour.

As the ringtone continued for a long ti, Ihyeok beca anxious without realizing it. It was when he was sucking on the cigarette filter and exhaling.

– Hel, hic, lo…

Hyeseong answered the phone. When he heard the familiar voice, Ihyeok almost raised his voice without realizing it. But Ihyeok put out his cigarette, fake coughed once, and regained his composure.

– Who is this?

An excited voice unlike usual was heard, with pronunciation slipping. Ihyeok laughed without realizing it.

– Oh… it’s Ahjussi.

Hearing Hyeseong’s voice, he felt montarily relieved. The anxiety and uneasiness he felt until earlier felt really aningless. By the way, how much did he drink for his tongue to be this twisted?

– Yes.

– That’s up to .

He was still clueless even when drunk. A reflexive smile never left Ihyeok’s lips. But for a mont, he wondered if Hyeseong could properly go ho in that state.

– I don’t know… I’ll figure it out sohow. Whatever.

A very irresponsible answer ca over to the question of whether he could go ho well. The good mood from earlier was slowly turning into anxiety again.

– If not, well, I can sleep at Dohyun’s house…

The voice that ca over after that. Ihyeok unknowingly tightened his grip on the cell phone. Who the hell was that for him to casually say he would sleep at his house?

– Why are you prying into my personal relationships?

Whether he knew Ihyeok’s heart or not, Hyeseong retorted bluntly. Whoever this Dohyun guy was, it didn’t sit well with him that a drunk Hyeseong would stumble in and sleep over.

Ihyeok hurriedly ran into the office. When he flung the door open, the three idiots and Seongjin widened their eyes in surprise.

While Hyeseong asked if he was asking because he was going to co here later, Ihyeok roughly answered yes and gestured to Seongjin to throw him the car keys.

Hyeseong told him the na of the store, and Ihyeok imdiately went out and got in the car. Leaving behind the considerate drunken rambling of earnestly reciting the store’s recomnded nu, Ihyeok drove the car quickly. He didn’t hang up the phone during that ti. Just in case sothing happened to Hyeseong.

The excited voice coming over the phone suddenly cut off. Hyeseong must have thought the call was disconnected. The sound of steady breathing followed. It seed like he fell asleep. Judging from the sound of cars in the background, it seed like he was outside.

Ihyeok chewed his lips and increased his speed even more.

Ihyeok, who arrived in almost half the estimated ti shown on the navigation, roughly parked the car anywhere and looked for the store. Being a college town, energetic college students were seen all over the streets. Then, the store Hyeseong ntioned appeared before Ihyeok’s eyes.

And next to it, on a makeshift chair, Hyeseong was seen with his eyes closed, leaning his body. It was a good thing the store location was in a corner, otherwise he would have surely beco a zoo monkey.

Ihyeok suppressed his anger and went in front of Hyeseong. His white cheeks were flushed red. It seed like he was blushing because of the alcohol. Just standing nearby, the sll of alcohol wafted strongly.

Seeing him sitting curled up on the chair, Ihyeok almost burst out laughing for a mont. He was definitely angry, but this sight was irresistibly cute. He was certainly still a kid.

The urging seed to have an effect, as Hyeseong slowly opened his eyes.

Ihyeok crouched slightly and t Hyeseong’s eye level. Hyeseong blinked slowly. His brown eyes were sparkling, reflecting the surrounding lights.

Hyeseong clapped his hands as if he had reached a conclusion sohow. Ihyeok finally laughed out loud. Watching Hyeseong’s new side of cluelessly talking back amidst gangsters couldn’t be more enjoyable.

Ihyeok grabbed Hyeseong’s arm and pulled. But he was so drunk that his body just limply drooped like cotton soaked in water.

As he was turning his body to give a piggyback, Hyeseong suddenly hugged Ihyeok, wrapping his arms around his neck.

Ihyeok froze on the spot for a mont at the close, hot body temperature. Hyeseong’s steady breathing was heard up close.

Hyeseong was mumbling incomprehensible words. Right. Hyeseong was drunk right now. To the point of mistaking Ihyeok who appeared before his eyes as a dream. When you’re drunk, it’s normal to do all sorts of odd behaviors. Ihyeok smiled slightly and picked Hyeseong up like that.

With one hand around his waist and the other supporting his bottom. As if a mother was holding a child, Ihyeok walked to where the car was parked just like that.

People around them buzzed and chuckled looking at the two. It was a natural reaction to see a well-built man carrying a college student like a baby.

But Ihyeok paid no attention. He was just focusing all his attention on his steps so that Hyeseong wouldn’t fall and his slumber wouldn’t be disturbed.
