Chapter 14: Then, should we try it out together sometime?
"Hyung," Min-Cheol called and I snapped out of it. "Did that old man really not say anything about the others?" He asked and I flinched, my eyes traveling heavily towards him.
Was he doubting me? No, I didn't let anything slip so he was just curious.
That expression on his face said he was just curious so I had nothing to worry about.
I exhaled openly.
Why was he calling Ki-hoon 'old man' anyway? Sure, he was older, but wasn't that too much?
"No, he didn't." I answered. "But the maid did say something about my life being in the hands of four masters. Ah, now I get what she meant. So there were four of you who bought me, is that right?"
"That is correct." He said and dropped his chin on his interlocked fingers. "Hyung is so smart."
Ah, I already knew Min-Cheol was quite the enthusiastic character in the novel but this seemed to be more than I had expected.
I thought he would doubt me because of my sudden sigh and how I flinched but maybe he wasn't so sharp anymore. Or was he just overlooking it?
He always had his eyes on me and every single thing I did seemed to amuse me. He did not relent from speaking to me and liked it more when I answered intelligently but not too intelligently.
If I did then he'd start to wonder if my actions were all calculated from the start in order to fool him.
