𐑮𐑮ㅤJungwonㅤ²

Jungwon had always lived in the shadow of his older sister, Jungeun. Popular, impeccable, the kind of person who's likeable without even trying. That never bothered him… what did tire him was being the middleman. “Are you Jungeun's brother?” “Can I have her number?” Always the same thing. That afternoon, he went downstairs because of some noises in the hallway and ran into Jay, his sister's best friend. He smiled at him, but Jungwon ignored him; he already knew why he was there. He noticed that Jay was uncomfortable, clutching his stomach.

— "Second door on the right."

Jungwon said, pointing to the bathroom, which was far away.

• "Thank you..."

Jay answered. And as he passed by, he murmured:

— "I like your perfume."

Strange. Jungwon frowned slightly. His sister's friends usually didn't tell him more than necessary... but Jay didn't move. He was still there, as if he'd forgotten about the bathroom. Then Jungeun appeared. Perfect, as always. Jungwon looked away. Of course. He'd come for her. But as he passed by, Jay leaned in slightly and whispered:

— "Yes, I came for your sister... but you piqued my curiosity, handsome."

Jungwon remained silent, unsure how to react.
