Chapter 6 (1/2)

“What the…”

Myohan thought he had to run. Sajun’s eyes shined dangerously as if he was about to devour Myohan, which didn’t match his kind face.

“Why are you stalking me?”

But Myohan didn’t run away. His pride was too high to let him run away just because the boy’s gaze was a little intense.

Sajun seemed to find Myohan amusing and a little strange.

“Who are you, and why are you stalking me? Are you interested in me?”

“Yes.”

The answer that came was quite shocking. It made Myohan frown hard. He hadn’t really meant it. The ‘interest’ he had talked about was ‘feeling’. Were you watching me because you like me? Sajun could fully understand the question, but still, he said yes. He smiled and then added matter-of-factly, “I like cats.”

“Stop calling me a cat!”

“So sharp, just like a cat.”

Now Myohan was really irritated. Sajun’s way of talking was just like that of the man who was at his home now. He didn’t like that he was facing another person who talked like that. He asked back, not trying to hide his irritation, “Why am I a cat?”

Sajun pointed at Myohan with a hand. Being pointed like that didn’t feel good, but Myohan decided not to bother to point that not.

“Because you look like a cat.”

Is he joking or something…

“Oh, and for your information, I really mean it.”

Myohan narrowed his eyes after having his mind read like that. Sajun was really a lot like O Shin.

“I was going to watch you some more, but it is an honor to be talked to first.”

“Stop talking crazy nonsense and answer my question. Why were you stalking me?”

“I told you.”

His thin lips curved softly. Myohan had felt it for some time, but Sajun’s smile was strangely dangerous. Even though he was smiling, his eyes had something similar to the will to kill. Myohan wasn’t happy to be overwhelmed like that, so he glared at Sajun.

“I like cats.”

“Oh, will you stop with that shit?”

Myohan’s neck started to hurt after looking out the window for so long. Sajun seemed to be thinking of neither running away nor coming closer.

Actually, Sajun hadn’t done anything to Myohan. Myohan had been just irritated to feel an unknown gaze all the time, and now that he knew who it was, he could find Sajun and ask him again later. There was no need to bother to talk to him now when they were in different buildings.

“If you like cats, just give some food to stray cats in your neighborhood and pat them. Stop stalking me. If I see you do it again, I’ll make you pay for it.”

It was especially so as Sajun was calling him a cat.

“You’re running away?”

Maybe Sajun was joking. Maybe he was calling Myohan a cat because his appearance resembled a cat. Myohan was constantly called a cat because of his feline-looking face and fast movements.

“Oh, shut up.”

Myohan decided to end it there and grabbed the window to close it. He was getting a bad feeling. If they talked more, he was going to reveal his secret. His instincts were telling him to escape from the situation, whether Sajun knew he was really a cat or not. More conversation wasn’t going to get him anything. However, Sajun wasn’t thinking of letting him go.

“O Myohan.”

Myohan glanced at Sajun.

“What do you think will happen if a man jumps down from a building?”

He still had a smile on his face.

“He’ll die.”

“Yes, if he’s an ordinary person.”

Oh crap. Myohan blamed his instincts for never being wrong about bad things.

“But the boy in front of me is still alive and well after jumping down from the sixth floor.”

That gaze Myohan had felt every time he jumped down because he didn’t want to go down the stairs. That gaze that had followed him to the ground. He had believed it was O Shin’s, and he should have realized that gaze had been exactly the same with the ones he had felt recently.
