Chapter 28.5
Chapter 28.5
“Crazy, damn it, Go Yohan has finally crossed my limits.”
The back of my neck chilled, and I quickly turned my body, slapping my hand over Go Yohan’s mouth. I must have pressed harder than I meant to, because his lips were pressed into my palm, half-turned.
“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Right now.”
His eyes narrowed sharply over my hand. Pretty crescent-shaped slits. Then the slender lines of his face wavered up and down. Go Yohan nodded, his head held to my hand. That crazy bastard.
I glanced around and suddenly realized that my actions were more noticeable than Go Yohan’s words. My face burned, and I felt embarrassed beyond belief. I quickly pulled my hand away from his mouth and moved my feet to walk faster.
With so many people around, just a few steps made the space feel suffocating. Even without looking, I could roughly gauge the size of the people around me. Animals are like that, after all.
So I was quietly relieved. The large body following behind, I thought, was Go Yohan’s.
“It’s so cramped, it’s killing me.”
That was, until I heard an unfamiliar voice.
I hurriedly looked up. The spot I had thought Go Yohan would be in was now occupied by a man I’d never seen before. And to top it off, I accidentally made eye contact with him. I screamed internally and quickly looked down.
Where the hell did Go Yohan go?
I raised my head again, scanning the area. Just as a sense of inexplicable despair was about to break out, a small vibration came from my hand. I quickly looked at my hand to see that I had a call from Go Yohan.
“H-Hello?”
- Yes, it’s me.
Was this really the time for such pointless jokes? The tension that had risen sharply had instantly cooled in the face of this ridiculous situation.
“I lost you.”
- Well, who told you to wander off alone?
“Don’t talk to me like that just because I’m twenty.”
- You should have at least not gotten lost first.
“I wasn’t lost, I got swept up in the crowd. If I’m lost, then you’re lost too.”
- Aw, right. Yohan is so, so scary.
“….”
I didn’t expect him to admit it so easily. His low voice and childish lisp caught me off guard, and I had trouble breathing. It felt too awkward and confusing… but why was it kind of cute?
- It’s fine. I’m following you right now. You’re so small that I can’t see you, though.
Go Yohan’s nonsense quickly dissipated any strange feelings I had. Damn it, he was acting all high and mighty because of his height. I frowned and looked around. Wait, even now, my line of sight isn’t that low.
“I can see you.”
- Stop lying.
