Sihun
Knitting? Really?

(Surprised emoticon)

Sihun
Why do you do that?

Hobby

Sihun
Wow, I’ve never seen a guy whose hobby is knitting

Sihun
What are you knitting?

A cardigan

For my boyfriend

Sihun
You’re knitting a cardigan?

Sihun
I can’t believe it

Don’t believe it

Sihun
Can you show me a picture?

Sihun
I’m curious

If Jeha had been home, Jin would never have replied to Tak Sihun in real time.

The only reason Jin had answered him, albeit belatedly, was because he was bored and had nothing to do, being alone from the afternoon until night due to Jeha’s consecutive nights of working late. That was the one and only reason.

Sihun
Wow… Amazing…!!!

Sihun
Did you really knit that?

Sihun
It’s not a photo you downloaded from somewhere?

If you’re going to be suspicious don’t talk to me

Sihun
It’s because it’s so cool

Sihun
Send me a verification shot

How?

Sihun
Hold it so it shows up with your face and take a selfie

Sihun
Then I’ll really believe you

Jin didn’t care one bit whether someone like Tak Sihun believed in his knitting skills or not. All that mattered was quickly finishing the dark brown cardigan he was making with premium cashmere yarn that cost 60,000 won per skein so he could put it on Jeha.

Nevertheless, the reason he went to the trouble of taking and sending a picture to him was, to say it again, because he was bored and had nothing to do, being alone from the afternoon until night due to Jeha’s consecutive nights of working late. That was all.

There?

Sihun
Yep

Sihun
That’s amazing

Sihun
(Thumbs-up emoticon)

Sihun
Next Thursday is my birthday

Sihun
Can’t you knit me something too?

No

Sihun
Don’t be like that, let’s do an exchange

Sihun
Friends exchange gifts all the time

Sihun
When is your birthday?

Jin did not know his exact birthday. When he had to set a birthday to get his resident registration card, he chose September 2nd, the day he first met Jeha behind the pub building at the back gate of K University. Jin thought that since he was saved by meeting Jeha, it was no different from being born anew on that day.

September 2nd

Sihun
It already passed

Sihun
Then I’ll give you a Christmas present next month

I don’t need it

Sihun
It’s my birthday, wish me a happy birthday

Sihun
I’ll treasure it very preciously

Sihun
But you’re wearing shorts

Sihun
Aren’t you cold?

The house is warm

Sihun
You should lower the heat and wear long clothes

Sihun
If you keep doing that your heating bill will be a bombshell

Sihun
Do you live alone? A studio?

Jeha always kept the indoor temperature of the house toasty, and he didn’t set it to away mode even when he went out. It was because he didn’t want the floor to be cold or the air to be chilly when Jin came home. The house was large, so it also took a very long time to warm the air up again once it had cooled.

It was bothersome to explain such circumstances to Tak Sihun in detail, and there was no reason to. Also, if he started talking about his living situation, he might let slip too much information, such as that he was living with his boyfriend, or that he lived in an apartment with a Han River view in Gangnam.

I don’t want to talk about it

He couldn’t help but answer curtly, but Jin speaking peevishly was nothing new. Tak Sihun accepted it naturally.

Sihun
Okay. But wear long clothes next time

Sihun
But your skin is really white

Sihun
You don’t have any hair on your legs

I do

A lot

Sihun
I can’t see any at all?

Sihun
Is it because it’s far away?

Sihun
Take a close-up of just your legs and show me

No

Sihun
Hahaha you’re shy, aren’t you?

Sihun
Because you don’t have leg hair like a girl

Sihun
It’s okay, it’s possible to not have any

I said I do

Sihun
If you have it, show me

If he hadn’t said the words ‘like a girl,’ Jin would not have fallen for the provocation.

Because of the parasitic soul, a lot of his yang energy had been taken, and having lived avoiding the sun for a long time, Jin had a complex about his skin, which looked white and pale compared to the average man. In the end, Jin sent him a photo taken with his legs stretched out on the sofa.

See

It’s a lot

Sihun
Hahahahaha ugh it’s just peach fuzz

Sihun
Okay okay it’s a lot. Let’s say it’s a lot

Sihun
But your legs are really thin and long

Sihun
Our Jin has pretty legs

Stop it

I’m gonna puke
