— So you want to go to dinner with me. Seo Hyun said. — Okay, let’s go eat. Once inside the car... — You know, Hyun, I’m sorry. — For acting that way. — — It’s okay. — Hyun, do you have a family? — — I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable. — It’s okay. — I don’t have a family. — My mother died, and my father died before my mother. — I’m sorry for asking something so important to you. — It’s okay; you’re the only person I tell this to. Kang Ji-ho turned his face toward the window because he was blushing and decided to change the subject. After dinner. Hyun walked in without knocking. — — Ji-ho, we have to — — He fell silent. — Ji-ho was on the couch... surrounded by papers. — But they weren’t company documents. — They were books. — "Healthy Relationships" "How to Express Affection" "Love and Boundaries" — Seo Hyun blinked. — —What is this? Kang Ji-ho tensed up. — — Nothing. — — Are you... studying? — Silence. Kang Ji-ho looked away. — — You told me to learn. — I don’t know why he’s asking if he asked me to. Besides, I don’t want him to leave me; that’s why I’m doing this. Kang Ji-ho thought. — — Seo Hyun felt something on his chest. — Something soft. — You’re weird, Kang Ji-ho. Hyun said and smiled. — — I know. — End of Chapter 19: “If studying means staying… I’ll do it.”
