He was literally staring blankly at Cha Eui-jae. But only for a moment— then Lee Sa-young shifted his gaze to the floor. Cha Eui-jae wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"For waiting for me, keeping a promise that was just words... No, even more than that."

"I'm going to repay you."

"Even if you don't want it."

Blood beaded along the clear bite mark on the first knuckle of his left ring finger. At a glance, it looked like a red ring. Cha Eui-jae added firmly,

"If you ever say again that you're not my responsibility or that I shouldn't care, I won't let it slide."

"..."

"Lee Sa-young, look at me. Did you understand?"

Lee Sa-young, who had been staring at the floor as if counting the patterns, slowly lifted his head. At that moment, Cha Eui-jae unconsciously parted his lips slightly.
