Chapter 61
In a way, the expression “pathetic” might be more fitting. I, originally, was dressed in an even more shabby way than Baek Sieon. A bulky, puffy jacket that seemed to have never been in fashion even once, and a turtleneck sweater that came up to my neck. Even though it was supposed to keep me warm, it looked inadequate in that respect as well. To top it off, I wore sneakers so thin they seemed to belong to summer, completely failing to cover my white ankles.
However, none of that seemed to matter at all. That face. The face that looked like a flower bud blooming through the white snow of winter hid all his flaws. Even his expression, which was twisted into a sad grimace, was enough to invoke sympathy from anyone who saw him.
“Ah, I’m sorry...! I’m bleeding...”
If I didn’t know Choi Hyunjin outside of the drama, I might have felt that way too. In reality, he was somewhat... no, his personality wasn’t great. But in the world of Gwanggong, this image suited him. He was the embodiment of a pure soul with no malice, that’s Choi Hyunjin.
Even now, with his black eyes brimming with tears, holding my hand with both of his, I felt like they were on the verge of falling down if he were nudged even a little. It was easy to tell that this wasn’t acting, but sincere emotion.
“It’s okay...”
“Ah!”
Just as I was about to say that it was okay...
“Let go.”
A large hand was placed on top of Choi Hyunjin’s head, who was crouching in front of me.
“Let go, I said.”
Choi Hyunjin’s face turned bright red, and I could see the tears that had gathered in his large eyes ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) finally start to fall. It looked like Yoon Taeo had applied force to the hand that was gripping his head. Not knowing his personality, I brushed Choi Hyunjin’s frozen hand away, afraid that he might end up with his head smashed the moment the Beta protagonist appeared.
