Red Moon || Seungchan

✿Chapter 6.02✿

"Tell me about your life"

"My life???"

Seungmin felt contradiction in Chan's words.

"But you want to learn about my country"

"Yes. Don't make me repeat myself"

"If you want to learn about Korea, I think it would be better to give an overall image than just my life"

"... no, not that"

Why is Chan hesitating so much?

"In other words... I want to know how ordinary human live each day. So I wanted to hear about your life to learn such things.

You can't really talk about the life of someone you don't even know, can you?"

I see. That's it. But something is bothering me...

"I see. I'll tell you about my life"

"Yes"

"What should I say... I was born in a country called Korea..."

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

After that, the younger told Chan a lot about his life.

As they spoke, Seungmin felt like he was giving him his autobiography.

Chan listened without appearing annoyed at all.

"... so, that time..."

The talking boy suddenly realize that the sky has lightened.

"Sorry. It's already this early"

"Yes. That's enough for today"

"Okay"

He cleans up the tea cups and move to leave. Chan calls him and he turns around.

"... thanks"

His manner was curt, but what he said indicated gratitude.

This may be the first time that Chan has said that to me...

"... what's wrong?"

"No, thank you"

"What?"

"It was fun to talk with you"

"... we aren't finished yet. Continue your tale tomorrow evening"

"Okay! Good night"

"Good night"

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

After that, he visited Chan's room several times and talked about himself. It was a strange time.

One morning, as he was making breakfast, Felix suddenly calls me.

"You seem elated"

"Really?"

"You are smiling. What happened?"

Is that how I look?

He quickly tries to change my expression as Lee Know interrupts.

"Shall I tell you the reason? The reason is that you've been visiting Chan's room nightly recently"

"What are you saying?! You really do like to bring every conversation in that direction"

"Not really. I just say what I think. Isn't Felix also pointing it out now?"

"That just means that I am finally used to this lifestyle..."

"Is that all? Well whatever"

Enough!!!

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

Even though Lee Know still teasing him, he came to the lowest part of the estate to think 

about what stories he will tell Chan tonight, while enjoying the natural surroundings.

I really enjoy talking with Chan. We are finally able to have real conversations.

At first, he would just give me cold responses. But why do I want to have fun talking with Chan...

He suddenly hear footsteps and raises his head.

"Hey, Seungmin"

"Jisung. I wasn't surprised by your sudden appearance this time"

"Too bad. It is always fun to surprise you. Well... you seem to be having fun, Seungmin"

"So you also see that..."

"Yes. You seem to be having a lot of fun. What happened?"

He tells Jisung what happened recently.

"So it was like that"

"I do enjoy talking with Chan, but that may just be because I enjoy talking about my old life"

"... do you really think that?"

"Yes. This is the first time that I've spoken this much since I came here"

"Really? But you seem to be enjoying your conversations with Chan for an entirely different reason"

What does he means by that?

"Seungmin. What are you going to talk about tonight?"

"Right. After dinner..."

He suddenly realizes something.

"Oh no! I need to prepare dinner! Sorry Jisung! I need to start dinner! I've got to go!"

"Good luck"

He quickly returns to the estate, being seen off by Jisung, who waves his hand.

"... I hope that you are the one who can melt his ice. Melted ice will become water, which falls to the earth..."

That night, Seungmin goes to Chan's room and tell him about my memories.

But I am really just talking about my memories now. Is this really what he wants to hear?

"... so my high school teacher..."

Chan... seems to be dozing off...

The younger looks and see Chan sleeping with his elbows on his desk.

What should I do? Should I just let him sleep like this?

He decides to do just that and slowly stands up.

I woke him up.

Chan suddenly looks up, noticing Seungmin.

"... just now..."

Should I pretend that I didn't notice...

"... you can lie down if you want. I will talk until you fall asleep..."

"No thanks"

As Chan appears shaken, Seungmin didn't know what words he should says to Chan.

Chan... might be cute...
