Chapter 103

//TN: An explanation about Chungryeo's regression and status abnormality at the end of the chapter.

I returned to the dorm after finishing a fruitless meeting with Chungryeo.

It was already 3 AM in the morning. Everyone was obviously sleeping.

'...I have to get up at 8 tomorrow.'

I had to go to sleep right away. I reduced the sound of my footsteps and quickly went to my room.

And then I got startled.

"...!"

"Huh..."

It was because Lee Sejin was confined to his bed while staring at his phone. The light leaked from the phone screen and illuminated Lee Sejin's damp face.

'...He's probably watching Netflix.'

I was pretty embarrassed for getting startled.

I deliberately made the sounds of my footsteps more heard and walked past the room. It was to have more time to get organized.

'I'll wash up first and change my clothes.'

After I took a shower in the bathroom, Lee Sejin was invisible, covered under the blanket that was pulled over his head.

He was also embarrassed.

'...Let's sleep.'

I lay down on my bed. I didn't have to use earplugs at this late hour. However, it wasn't long before that I regretted not using them.

"...Khuk"

It was because of the dull sound of crying next to me.

No matter who heard it, the crying sounded like someone's face was buried in a pillow under blankets.

'I'm going insane.'

I seriously contemplated whether to put on earplugs and lie back down again, but eventually got up and approached the bed next to me.

I patted the blanket.

"Hyung. Is something wrong?"

"...!!"

The blanket moved and there was a sound of coughing.

'If there were tears, runny nose, and even saliva...'

Even without seeing it, it looked like he didn't want anyone to see, so I waited with my arms crossed.

"...Didn't you, sob, wear earplugs?"

"I didn't think I would need to wear them at this time of the night."

There was a sound of tossing and turning again. Then Lee Sejin's voice became calmer close to normal.

"...Go to sleep. It's not a big deal."

"..."

That would mean that something was going on.

At that moment, a warning alarm, that had faded until now, rang in my head.

"...Hyung, it's not a drug problem, is it?"

"Are you crazy?"

Hmm, I guess not.

I checked Lee Sejin, who came out from the blanket appalled and went back to my bed.

Even in the dark, Lee Sejin's face turned red fumingly.

"Do I look like a drug addict?"

"No... It's just, I met Chungryeo sunbae-nim today and heard a story about someone who got hooked on drugs. I asked because I suddenly thought of that."
