It wasn't that he disliked the arrangements Yoonjae had made; he just didn't want him to worry about every little detail and wanted to take over the planning himself from now on, but Yoonjae seemed to be misunderstanding. Eunho put down his fork, the sudden shift in atmosphere making him uneasy. Seeing this, Yoonjae asked,   "Do you perhaps... not like it?"   "Of course not.…

      by chef <24>   Two Months Prior to That Day (1)   The day after taking a practice exam, Hyunjun, feeling elated, intended to have a light drink with Jihun, but they ended up drinking until late into the night.   Jihun, still harboring resentment from the previous incident, brought up Eunho as he drank, venting his anger until he felt relieved. Hyunjun, like a condemned criminal, obediently listened, ending up paying for the entire bill, which he hadn't wanted to do. They even…

      by chef <23>   Four Months Before That Day (10)   Eunho, who had been watching Yoonjae snatch the phone and block the sender, didn't get angry or stop him, but muttered quietly.   "...I blocked the number... how did this get through?"   Just a few lines of text were enough to make the food he'd just eaten feel like it was coming back up. Eunho ran his hands over his face, then suddenly felt dizzy and slumped onto the sofa. He was trying to empty his mind, bit by…

      by chef <22> 4 Months Prior (9)   After breaking up with Hyunjun, Eunho tried to return to his daily life as if nothing had happened, but unlike his thoughts, his body didn't easily follow. It was as if a screw in his head had come loose and fallen out, and he would often space out during meetings, feeling drained all the time. Once, he failed to organize and submit the audit report on time, and had to face Yoonjae's concerned gaze.   Whenever he was consumed by thoughts of what had…

      by chef <21>   4 Months Before That Day (8)   They had already broken up, he said. It had been so long since he’d seen that look in Hyunjun’s eyes, that tone he used to soothe and placate an angry lover. It was a delicate, richly textured emotion he’d felt long ago, at the beginning of their relationship. Ah, so that’s the kind of person you were.   The whole situation felt so distant to Eunho, as if he were watching some trashy, third-rate drama, not something that…

      by chef <20>   4 Months Before That Day (7)   When Eunho opened his eyes again, he was in an unfamiliar space shrouded in pitch-black darkness. After wondering where he was, Eunho soon realized he was lying on a hospital bed.   Had his fever subsided? When he opened his eyes, he didn't feel the heat that had been trapped inside him leaking out, but he was still dizzy. Usually, right before he caught a cold, he would get a migraine and his body would ache as if it were being…

Yoonjae, with a vague expression, placed the wet towel in the basket.   “Of course not.”   “Well, still.”   “……”   “Then how did you know? I clearly heard it. You said, ‘the security guard.’”   Eunho, who had followed him into the powder…

Hyunjun was out of breath, urging Eunho to come quickly, sounding like it was a matter of life and death. Just as Eunho was about to reply, the phone disappeared from his hand.   "Executive Director?"   "......"   "No... what are..."   Yoonjae swiftly snatched the phone, ended the call without a…

      by chef <17>   4 Months Before That Day (4)   After showering, Yoonjae walked to the underground parking lot first. As soon as he got into the car, he recalled that day in the past and pondered the exact date. If he remembered correctly, it was mid-March. He vaguely remembered the meeting content from that day, but there was nothing helpful. Everything changed when they gave up B-gate and invested in Studio G.   Then he had to remember any significant events from the news…

      by chef <16>   Four Months Before That Day (3)   Eunho's gaze was embarrassingly focused on one spot. The broad shoulders and thick chest, the tightly woven abs were dizzying enough to strike the eye, but more than anything, he was nervous that Yoonjae's engorged member, with its prominent veins, might not be able to force its way inside him. He hadn't had many opportunities to see another man's, and even less so an alpha of Yoonjae's caliber.   While Yoonjae distracted him…
