Chapter 50: That was a known fact
"I’ll walk you to the door." Seojun said and I stepped back for him to come out of the room.
He closed the door but I could still smell the cigarette.
It wasn’t harsh and it had a subtle lemon flavor to it.
’I can’t believe it.’ I thought to myself while following behind as we made our way to the front door. ’Does Seojun smoke?’
I couldn’t bring myself to ask him. It was just too weird.
"I hung out with a few older guys one time," he suddenly began speaking. "They had a very good sense of humor and talked like they had no worries in their lives. I had to entertain them because I needed their approval for the school project I was working on."
Why was he talking about this all of a sudden?
I wondered, but it didn’t hurt to listen to the story, so I decided to stay quiet and listen till the end.
"I thought they had it easy." He continued with a little scoff but I couldn’t see his face since he was right in front of me while we made our way to the door. "But they were far from having it easy." He stopped at the door but didn’t turn and instead, continued his story. "Into their second bottle of whiskey, they were already high and spewing out their worries. Their conditions were so awful that I wondered how they were going day by day without anyone noticing a thing."
