[All three of them have adjusted.]

Inseop smiled still when he saw the attached picture. This morning, Inseop rescued both Lois and the kittens with the help of Yoon Ahreum. All three were taken to the hospital to check if they were sick and moved to Yoon Ahreum’s house. Giving an empty room to the cats, she sent pictures of the sleeping cats to Inseop.

[I was worried because I thought they would be fussy and hide, but I’m glad. Kong isn’t stressed out?]

A few minutes later, a picture of a dog staring helplessly at a cat over the fence arrived.

[Tell Kong I’m really sorry and grateful. Please contact me right away if anything happens.]

After sending a text message, Inseop slumped on the bed. Tiredness rushed in. He felt several times more tired than usual. Inseop checked his cell phone. Still, there was no text message from Lee Wooyeon. He thought about making a phone call, but he didn’t. Inseop sighed and tossed and turned.

“Don’t come out tomorrow.”

When he heard it from Lee Wooyeon, he was standing there for a long time in the dark. He barely opened his mouth and asked if he was angry. Lee Wooyeon shook his head.

“You’re tired today. I’ll give you a day off, so take a day off?”

Inseop refused, saying it was okay. It was impossible to take a day off suddenly. Lee Wooyeon responded to Inseop, who said he was not tired and could not cause such trouble to Lee Wooyeon.

“It’s not that much trouble for me.”

His voice was several times lower and colder than usual, so Inseop eventually nodded.

Inseop texted Lee Wooyeon in the morning to wish him good luck with his work. He did not receive any reply. He never ignored him. So either he was pretty angry or he was really busy. Probably, the former was more likely.

The event’s from dawn kept bothering him. Should he have contacted Lee Wooyeon first? If he did, maybe John would be dead by now. No matter how many times he thinks about it, yesterday’s choice was the best. But he realized that the best choice doesn’t please everyone.

Inseop lay on his side and put his arm on his head. Then, he habitually entered the portal site on his phone, and woke up when he saw that Lee Wooyeon’s name was on the top of the real-time search word.

Today’s schedule was not a live broadcast, so it won’t be because of the broadcast. Then what the hell was going on? With trembling hands, he managed to type Lee Wooyeon’s name in the search box. The article flashed out.

[Lee Wooyeon, a true handsome man with a warm heart]

[Lee Wooyeon, the story maker of this era, this time to animals!]

[Lee Wooyeon’s warm love for animals.]

Inseop started reading the articles.

[Actor Lee Wooyeon’s quiet story is a big topic. Today morning, employee A, who said he was working at a veterinary hospital in Seoul, posted an article on social media with a picture. A, who identified themself as an employee at a 24-hour animal hospital, revealed the situation, “This morning, two men and women who seemed to be a couple brought a kitten rescued from the street and had an emergency surgery.”]

“…a couple.”

Inseop broke down in a cold sweat and lowered the screen.

[A said, “Later, a man who received a phone call from one of the couples ran into the hospital, and surprisingly, he was Lee Wooyeon. Even the veterinarian said he couldn’t believe it at first. Everyone was surprised at how good the real thing looked. What is even more surprising is the fact that Mr. Lee Wooyeon, who came to the hospital at dawn, paid all the hospital bills.”]

The story about Lee Wooyeon’s appearance was narrated without missing a single thing by the eye witness.

[A also said, “Even Lee Wooyeon called separately in the morning and said he would pay all the hospital bills in the future.” The employees argued that each of them would make a phone call to listen to how good the voice on the phone was. Fortunately, the cat’s surgery ended well, and now they’re taking a rest and waiting for a good owner,” they wrote, posting a picture of the recovering cat. Lee Wooyeon’s agency said, “I have not heard anything related to this from him, but I think it is possible if it is his usual mind.” This is why actor Lee Wooyeon, who is as warm-hearted as his face, is expected to move forward.]

Only then did Inseop relax and straighten his shoulders.

There were a lot of comments under the article. It was almost all compliments to Lee Wooyeon. There were also comments that said they wanted to take the cat because it was so pretty. There was also occasional praise for the couple who rescued the injured cat at dawn.

“We’re not a couple…”

Inseop muttered, expressing disapproval. Then he saw a malicious comment that all of this was Lee Wooyeon’s pretense ahead of the movie’s release. The comments below it were also spectacular.

[A bastard who earns a lot of money pays for the hospital bill and shows it off.]

[Go to the army. Fucking asshole.]

[Why do you save a stray cat? If I hear the sound of cats at night, I want to stone it to death.]

[Lee Wooyeon, the guy who doesn’t even donate usually pretends to be kind. It’s disgusting to see these bastards.]

Inseop sighed quietly, logged in, and left a comment.

[Lee Wooyeon is a good person. Really. I’m always rooting for you]

Even though he knew it was useless, he always left comments like a habit whenever Lee Wooyeon was criticized. Inseop laid back on the bed. He checked out Lee Wooyeon’s fan cafe and community. Until yesterday, the bulletin board, which had been noisy due to a dispute with reporters, was animated by cat stories. It was a good thing.

After reading the story about him for a long time, Inseop suddenly missed Lee Wooyeon. It’s only been half a day since he saw him.

“I’m pathetic.”

Inseop muttered to himself and put his arm on his forehead. Lee Wooyeon got better and better. Until he opened his eyes and closed them, he couldn’t get rid of his thoughts about Lee Wooyeon. Like a boy suffering from first love, the fever got worse over time.

Sometimes, Lee Wooyeon would tease him half-jokingly as a stalker. It was clear that half of the jokes would disappear there if he was caught in this state. While determining not to be caught, Inseop suddenly thought that Lee Wooyeon might have read the article. Lee Wooyeon didn’t even bother reading an article about himself unless someone put the article right in front of him.

He thought about it and sent a text message.

[Did you finish your work well today? You worked hard.]

It was time for the schedule to end. He thought he’d get a call or a text message if he waited a little bit. However, even after waiting for a long time, his cell phone was as quiet as death. He took out a book and opened it to wait for Lee Wooyeon to contact him. He closed his eyes before reading a few chapters. How long has it been?

He heard a thumping sound in his sleep. He thought it was a dream. However, Inseop opened his eyes to the sound growing over time.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

Someone was knocking on the door. Inseop jumped up, ran to the front door, and opened the door. No one knocked on the door like this, but there was only one person who would come to him at this time.

“I told you to check who it was and open the door.”

Lee Wooyeon raised Inseop in a low voice. He blinked at the smell of alcohol.

“Did you drink?”

Lee Wooyeon did not answer and came straight into the front door. Inseop closed the door quickly. Then he checked his watch, it was 2am

“Are you drunk?”

“Do I look drunk?”

His eyes were clear and his pronunciation was clear. However, Lee Wooyeon walked in with his shoes on and sat on the bed before Inseop could answer.

He was drunk.

Inseop ran quickly and sat on his knees on the floor, taking off Lee Wooyeon’s shoes. Lee Wooyeon stared down at Inseop.

“How did you get here?”

“I came here by taxi.”

“Who did you drink with?”

“CEO Kim bought it for me. I did a good job.”

He thought he knew what the good thing was. He just didn’t understand why Lee Wooyeon was drunk. He rarely got drunk and he wasn’t a person who drank until he was drunk.

When Inseop left his shoes at the front door and came back, Lee Wooyeon was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

“Are you sleeping?”

Inseop asked, but the answer did not return. Inseop carefully began to take off Lee Wooyeon’s jacket. Lee Wooyeon, who he thought was sleeping when he was trying to pull out one arm, opened his eyes. Inseop screamed like when he saw a scene where the body was alive in a horror movie he had to watch.

“What are you doing?”

Asked Lee Wooyeon. Grabbing his fluttering heart, Inseop managed to answer.

“Oh, to undress you. You can’t sleep like this.”

Inseop thought that he would rather take it off quickly when he was conscious, so he tried to raise Lee Wooyeon up. Lee Wooyeon grabbed Inseop’s wrist.

“What are you going to do with my clothes off?”

“What?

“Are you going to pounce on me?”

“No, I’ll never do such a thing,”

Inseop hurriedly denied it. Lee Wooyeon squinted his eyes and smiled.

“What kind of thing is that?”

“Well, Inseop doesn’t have much sexual desire for me.”

“Wh, what are you talking about?”

“Inseop never begged me to have sex first. You said you don’t sleep while thinking about me.”

“Well…”

Lee Wooyeon grabbed Inseop’s wrist and rubbed it on his cheek. Then he murmured in a languid voice.

“Fuck, I want to do something like that.”

Inseop’s face flushed red at the short sensational gesture, and as he bowed his head, Lee Wooyeon’s low laughter was heard. Inseop looked up at Lee Wooyeon. He was smiling, but it looked distorted.

Inseop tried to ask Lee Wooyeon if he was angry, but his body was pulled forward. Lee Wooyeon laid Inseop on the bed. In the blink of an eye, the positions of the two men changed.

“Inseop, do you know that you look prettier when you look down from the top?””

“I, I don’t know.”

Inseop answered, turning his head to the side. Lee Wooyeon grabbed Inseop’s chin and made him look at him. He averted his eyes. Lee Wooyeon looked at Inseop for a long time without saying a word. Then he suddenly asked.

“What happened to the cat?”

“…he’s recovering.”

He took the rest of the kitten and examined John’s condition. Fortunately, he could hear that he was recovering without any problems.

“I thought Inseop was hurt yesterday, so I was going crazy.’”

“I’m sorry.”

Inseop’s heart throbbed as he remembered the face of the man entering the hospital. He wanted to explain it properly, but the cat in his arms gasped as if it were about to die, so he couldn’t continue the call.

“I have to apologize.”

Lee Wooyeon continued by sweeping Inseop’s hair.

“I’m sorry. I thought it was a good thing the cat got hurt.”

“…”

“In fact, I don’t care if the cat is dead or alive at all.I don’t have any sympathy. It’s usually always the case.”

He already knew that Lee Wooyeon was in that state. It came as no surprise. It was just weird. It seemed that Lee Wooyeon considered his condition as a disgrace unlike usual.

Inseop reached out his hand and stroked Lee Wooyeon’s cheek.

“No, it’s not.”

Lee Wooyeon grabbed Inseop’s hand and kissed him.

“…Thank you for noticing.”

The soft lips slipped as if leaving a trajectory on the back of the hand. Inseop called out Lee Wooyeon.

“You have a schedule tomorrow morning.”

“The morning interview was canceled. Don’t worry. I’ll do what Inseop tells me to do. I won’t touch you outside, I’ll work hard, and what else? Oh, yes, be the best actor. Hahaha.”

Lee Wooyeon laughed and put his body on top of Inseop as if collapsing. As soon as he took his weight, Inseop gasped.

“Mr. Wooyeon. Wait, to the side…”

Inseop grabbed Lee Wooyeon and asked, but he didn’t budge.

Only after hearing the even breathing did Inseop realize that he was asleep.

Inseop put Lee Wooyeon down. After barely removing his jacket, he was soaked with sweat. He didn’t dare to take off his shirt and pants. Inseop pondered for a while and hung it on the chair to drag only the belt.

He checked his watch. It was almost two o’clock in the morning. Inseop set the alarm and turned off the light. While dragging the duvet, he covered Lee Wooyeon and laid down.

Maybe someone saw Lee Wooyeon coming here.

His heart throbbed with anxiety. Inseop blinked. He could see the face of Lee Wooyeon, who slept soundly in the dark. His heart leaped so fast that he forgot what expression to make every time he met him, even though he saw him hundreds and thousands of times.

“I like it, too. Such things…”

Inseop closed his eyes after muttering to himself softly.
