If someone ask how to make Lee Sayoung trauma, maybe people will answer that you will be the one who get trauma instead. Of course, who want to make Lee Sayoung trauma?
Maybe many. But nobody dare to do it.
So does that mean there is no way?
There is.
And the one who say it don’t even realize he is digging Lee Sayoung’s old wound.
He is none other than his lover—Cha Euijae.
It start when Lee Sayoung was picking up Park Haeun because Euijae force him. Haeun was using his phone to call Euijae, and Sayoung purposely make the volume a little loud so he can hear what his hyung say.
—Keep this a secret from Sayoung, okay?
Twitch.
His eyebrow twitch and frown. What stupid plan his hyung doing again?
“Okay~” Haeun, without knowing Sayoung can hear everything, smile happily and give the phone back to him.
“Let’s go, oppa!”
“Hm.”
Great. Now Lee Sayoung’s head is full of question about what Cha Euijae going to do. He calm himself down. The world is not that dangerous anymore. As long Euijae still sane, he will not do something dangerous.
His worry grow bigger when Haeun ask to go here and there. After eating ice cream, she drag Sayoung to crepes stall, then to bookstore, then buy cotton candy.
‘…’
At this rate when they go home? The corner of Sayoung mouth already going down.
But Sayoung is not that cruel. He never once refuse Haeun who want go to many place.
Seeing the little girl jumping around happily is kind of nice. Kid should be free.
When Haeun eating cotton candy on park bench beside him, he ask,
“What is your uncle doing anyway?”
Haeun freeze, her face shock with mouth forming O, making small sound ‘hup!’ and sit straight.
“N-n-nothing…”
“Can’t tell me?”
“Uncle say this is secret!”
Twitch.
His eyebrow twitch again.
The image of Cha Euijae falling on the ground, scratching the floor until his nails come off and bleeding. His eyes unfocus because they losing function, tears falling, and his hand reaching the air while calling his name.
Cha Euijae curling in his arms, hugging his neck while crying, depending on him like he is the only lifeline left.
Keep calling his name, telling him to stay by his side… and saying he is scared to die.
‘Shit.’
He need to go home fast and stop all this stupid secret.
Lee Sayoung maybe like Cha Euijae who depend on him, but he don’t like Cha Euijae who in pain.
“When you want go home?”
“Um~ let’s go now.”
‘Finally.’
Let’s break all this damn secret.

Lee Sayoung bring Haeun back to her grandma house safely. He immediately go to his apartment where his hyung is.
Pressing the door pin, Sayoung open the door with force.
“Hyung!”
But… nobody?
He look around the apartment. Cha Euijae not there. Is he at restaurant? But today is day off. And not time yet to prepare ingredient for tomorrow.
Sayoung grab his phone and dial Euijae number.
—Sa–
“Hyung where?”
—Uh, sorry there is something for a mome–
“Say it. Where are you?”
—I’m at restaurant–
“I’m going there now.”
—Huh? Wai–
Beep.
Sayoung steps are fast, almost running to the hangover soup restaurant. Luckily it only less than five blocks from their apartment.
When he reach the small alley where the restaurant is, his step slow down.
From distance, he feel there is more than one person inside. And they talking loud enough to be heard outside.
“Is it really okay like this?”
“Just trust us!”
“But this… very not convincing. And I’m embarassed.”
“Cha Euijae-ssi, I’m sure Guild Leader will like it~”
Seems his hyung inside with two women. And Guild Leader? Maybe one of former hunter from Pado Guild, since some subordinate still call him Guild Leader comfortably.
Mostly are men, and one woman… Kang Ji-soo.
He step closer, their voice more clear.
“Ugh but, why the top so tight?”
“That’s the point!”
“Um, it’s okay, Cha Euijae-ssi look pretty.”
“I know that compliment, but… hah.. isn’t there other thing..?”
“If you want mainstream it must be like this~”
Enough with eavesdropping. Lee Sayoung walk to the entrance, only one step left.
“Oh, is that Honeybee?”
Bang!
The door open hard by Kang Jisoo until wide open.
Outside, Sayoung eyes widen in disbelief. Inside, Yoon Gaeul drop the ribbon she holding, and you can guess Kang Jisoo expression.
“…”
“……”
“…”
Kang Jisoo try to slam the door shut again, but Lee Sayoung hold it.
“Aha…”
“…”
“So this is the secret you keep talking about, huh?”
With a grin, Sayoung stare sharp at Euijae—
“Hyung.”
—who is panicking and reaching the zipper at the back of the outfit he wearing. An outfit very unexpected. His chest clearly shaped because it tight, his hair decorated with many accessory and ribbon, that shocked face.
Should he say thanks to Kang Jisoo and Yoon Gaeul? And… the one mentioned, Hornet?
Yes, maybe he should send some money to those two college girls as thanks.
Ah, today is Valentine, right? Such a very appetizing gift.
Seeing his hyung wearing maid dress… should they kiss while eating cream and chocolate?
“Haha.”
Very satisfying.
Let’s make this man not get even one second of sleep tonight.
