156 Mood Maker, Joo In Guk (1/2)

After the incident with Bomi, she ceased all contact with Hyuk. Hyuk similarly stopped going to Rockstar Pub since that was her usual hangout. He didn't want to bump into her.

'You f*cking incestuous bastard,' her words kept ringing in his head.

After that time, he kept asking himself why he thought of Yeo Ri back then, why he was craving for her instead of a perfectly normal, unrelated girl like Bomi. He was so scared by his thoughts that he was starting to lose sleep.

'Lee Hyuk, why are you like this?' He asked himself. Why was he so f*cked up? Why did he think of Yeo Ri at that time? Of all people, why did he want her? He was ashamed and afraid. He didn't even dare to go home and see the girl in fear of doing something unspeakable. He spent the entire night sitting outside at a park.

”Yo, you okay?”

Noticing a familiar guy sitting on the bench with a hunched back, Joo In Guk took the initiative to greet him. ”Lee Hyuk? Hey, are you alright?”

Hyuk looked terrible. His hair was a ruffled mess and his eyes were sunken. His clothes were messy as well, and he could recognise it as the same set of clothes he had seen the guy wear the day before.

”Could it be... hey, did you stay out here since yesterday?!” In Guk gaped. ”Hey, are you really okay?!”

”Go away,” Hyuk shook the guy off with a raspy voice.

”You look like sh*t,” Jin Goo stated plainly. He was accompanying his friend to the park. In his hand was a blue-coloured frisbee. The two were originally planning to play with it at the park for an hour or two before getting some food and going to the arcade.

”Gee, thanks very f*cking much, Captain Obvious,” Hyuk responded bitingly. He rubbed his eyes, feeling extremely exhausted and impossibly burdened. There was too much going on in his head. ”Leave me alone.”

In Guk and Jin Goo exchanged glances. the weary-looking guy did not match with the aggressive gangster in their memory at all. Seeing his tensed shoulders, In Guk felt as if all the burden in the world was weighing the guy down.

”Hey, wanna come and join us?” In Guk kindly invited. ”We're about to play some frisbee. I guarantee you that it'll be fun, hm?”

”Go away,” Hyuk said with a worn-out sigh.

”C'mon~ I know you want to~”

”C'mon, Lee Hyuk~”
