Summary
Will ■■ understand it better if I put it like this – in the form of a story?
It is early morning when they go shopping, but Joonghyuk looks about as beautiful as he usually does; that is to say, if he is sleep deprived, then even fatigue must think that tarnishing Yoo Joonghyuk’s face is something unforgivable.
Dokja waits until they are close to the store’s selection of coffee so that he has a convenient excuse if his questioning goes somewhere unexpected. Then he asks, “Aren’t you tired?”
Dokja says it as if he’s asking about how early it is, although he knows Joonghyuk will read into it. There have been many times that Yoo Joonghyuk has refused to answer when Kim Dokja questions him, but never before has Dokja ever heard Joonghyuk lie to him. Dokja can sense in that strangled moment of silence that Joonghyuk takes to consider his answer that this fact is about to be conscribed to the past.
Finally, Joonghyuk sighs in a way that suggests he finds this conversation trite. “I’m not tired,” he says.
Right in front of his eyes, Yoo Joonghyuk has become a person who lies. Dokja replies, “Oh, okay.” It’s not okay, of course, but what else can he say?
