      TWELVE 56

      TWELVE 56 Cover
      by mimi “Hey, Gi Seoin.” I withdrew my hand that had been caught and instead pulled on the guy’s wrist. At the same time, I bent my waist and tilted my head up to see his face, which was buried in the shadows. “Are you... crying?” He said he was sorry, and since he was going this far, I had no reason to be angry anymore. To be precise, all my energy to be angry had drained away. “I’m not crying...” Gi Seoin, speaking feebly, lifted his face slightly to look at me. He wasn't actually…

      TWELVE 55 Cover
      by mimi I entered an unused room and locked the door. I tried and tried to empty my head while staying completely alone, but my racing emotions did not settle easily. The same thought kept coming to me. What did I do so wrong that I had to be treated that way by Gi Seoin and suffer this much? The thing that pained me most was that I simply could not understand the reason Gi Seoin was angry. He was always like this. He explodes in rage without explanation and backs a person into a corner. He expects me to…

      TWELVE 54 Cover
      by mimi “That, I... .” I had to refuse, but I didn't have a clue what to say. I was afraid he would think the reason for my refusal was because he was a man. It wasn't that, but because there was someone waiting for me. “I... .” “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.” Oh boy. While hesitating, I missed the timing to speak. Kim Hyunwoo showed a smile, but I couldn't believe it was sincere. I hurriedly waved my palms and said. “No, I wasn't uncomfortable at all. Just, I...…

      TWELVE 53 Cover
      by mimi “Whoa! Look who it is!” “It’s Seungkyung!” “Wow, he returned alive!” The Benwood people welcomed me as if I were a hero returning from a battlefield. It was hard to play it cool because I felt so embarrassed and apologetic. “I should have come sooner, I’m sorry.” “Aiyee! Sorry? What are you talking about?” “It made sense. How does a homeless person even get into a house? It’s seriously chilling.” “Are you okay now?” “Yes, thanks to your concern. I…

      TWELVE 52 Cover
      by mimi It was the noise made by Gi Seoin as he roughly set down his knife. I looked at Gi Seoin. Not a single trace of a smile remained on his face. “By what standard do you decide who suits whom?” It was Gi Seoin’s question, and Jeon Juseok brightened up, perhaps thinking the guy was identifying with him. “Isn’t this a capitalist society? It’s this, this.” Jeon Juseok made a circle by touching the tips of his thumb and index finger together and flicked it. Seeing that, Gi Seoin…

      TWELVE 51 Cover
      by mimi Before going to meet Jeon Juseok, I exceptionally picked out Gi Seoin’s clothes for him. There was only one criterion: do not look rich. Jeon Juseok is a snob who values appearances and a nearsighted man who can only see that much, so if Gi Seoin's attire was worse than expected, there was a high chance he would lose interest. The problem was that all of Gi Seoin’s clothes were luxury brands and sleek. Regardless, I searched for the least impressive clothes among them. Of course, I only told…

      TWELVE 50 Cover
      by mimi “Seungkyung-ah.” I thought I heard a voice calling my name from somewhere. It was only later that I recognized it as the sound of Gi Seoin waking me up. Immediately after prying my stiff eyes open, the first thing I faced was a gray wall. “Woo Seungkyung is awake.” No, that wasn't a wall; it was Gi Seoin’s chest, clad in a gray T-shirt. “Ah... what time is it?” “9:40.” As soon as I heard the time, my body sat up instinctively. “Gi Seoin! Didn't you go to…

      TWELVE 49 Cover
      by mimi I felt ashamed of my own clumsiness and moved my tongue tentatively. In contrast, Gi Seoin delved into me with a familiar and skillful ease. I visualized the sharp, red tip of his tongue that I had caught a glimpse of earlier. The thought of it entwining with mine, sweeping over my teeth, and licking the roof of my mouth made me flush instantly. The problem was that this wasn't just a thought; it was actually happening. Though I had hesitated at first, I soon found myself moving in rhythm with Gi…

      TWELVE 48 Cover
      by mimi It was when we were in middle school. “...Seungkyung-ah?” Gi Seoin was flustered, wearing an expression I had never seen before. “Seungkyung-ah, why, why are you crying?” I wanted to reassure him and tried to stop crying, but things didn't go as I intended. “Sob, hiccup...” “Don't cry... Seungkyung-ah, don't cry. Okay?” “Mm-hmm, hic, I’m not, crying, sob...” While tears streamed down, I was merely twitching the corners of my mouth. It must have looked quite…

      TWELVE 47 Cover
      by mimi “Are you saying you're going to cut ties with your parents?” Gi Seoin nodded without a moment's hesitation. “Is it okay to do that...?” “I have to.” “But you...” I started to say, ‘You've received so much from them,’ but I kept my mouth shut. He had both received from and been robbed by his parents. Perhaps the things taken from him were more precious than the things given. It wasn't something I could judge carelessly. “I realized that if I resign myself to it,…
