Chapter 48: ...can I kiss you now, Hyung?
I took the porridge back to the room, only to find Seojun drawing a turtle around a sleeping Seojin’s eyes. So unbelievable. Was he a kid or something?
"What are you doing?" I asked in whispers, not wanting to startle Seojin up from his sleep.
It seemed like he had fallen asleep while I was heating the porridge.
"Oh, Hyung, you’re back." He said, covering the marker and not even trying to hide the evidence that he was the culprit behind the crime committed. "Lorenzo fell asleep."
"I can see that but why would you draw turtles on a sick person? Who taught you that?" I asked while picking up a towel to clean Seojin’s face.
"You did, Hyung." He said and I paused, looking up at him with a confused expression.
"What? What do you mean? When did I...?"
"It wasn’t on a sick person but you did it once. You..." He bowed his head slightly, reminiscing warmly. "You and Lorenzo drew turtles on my face and body while I was taking a nap. You said it could be considered as a prank but if drawn sincerely with well wishes, it brought about longevity."
Ah, I remember.
It was a sunny and hot afternoon. It was so hot that we ended up taking off our shirts to sleep and we laid down on the blanket we always set on the floor. Seojun ended up sleeping longer than us.
I stared at his flawless skin and thought of the turtle the kids drew on each other’s faces when they slept in class. They looked like they were having fun but no one ever did it for me, so I was envious.
