Chapter 21
Kang Se-heon and Kang In-hyuk being cousins was something Tae-seo had known for a long time. That meant he should have considered the possibility of running into Kang In-hyuk when he was with Kang Se-heon.
No, he had thought about it before. He was sure he had imagined that such a day might come. But now, at this unguarded moment, it felt like a sudden punch had landed right in his solar plexus.
"Why are you...?"
At Kang In-hyuk’s question, Tae-seo’s lips were sealed shut, as if glued together, refusing to part. He should say something, but his mind went completely blank, leaving him unable to think at all.
"That is... well..."
Honestly, knowing Kang Se-heon wasn’t even a big deal. Their families knew each other, after all. So, even if he admitted it, it wasn’t anything strange. If anything, he could just turn the question back on Kang In-hyuk and ask, “And what about you? What’s your relationship with Kang Se-heon?”
But Tae-seo only opened and closed his mouth soundlessly, unable to produce a proper answer.
"Did you suddenly become an idiot or something?"
Kang In-hyuk frowned at Tae-seo’s hesitant attitude and urged him impatiently. He was just as flustered by this unexpected encounter as Tae-seo was. Moreover, he had been in a terrible mood all day, so his words naturally came out sharp and biting.
He said he wouldn’t act like that in front of me anymore. He said he was going on blind dates. And yet, here he is...
What a cunning bastard. Doing all the dirty tricks on his own.
"Are you scheming something weird again?"
