Instead, Go Un brought the can to his own mouth and sipped. He even tilted his head back and gulped it down well.
Guess he wanted to drink it himself.
At the sight of that guy’s Adam’s apple bobbing, even Seo Juhan suddenly felt thirsty.
Go Un slowly lowered the can and squinted his eyes with a feeling of ‘this is the taste!’ while nodding his head. His bright red tongue swept over his foam-covered lips and went in.
Seo Juhan quickly moved his eyes away and brought his legs together. He fixed his loosely relaxed posture toward the window.
The splendid night view of the city center was reflected outside the window. All kinds of people were walking the night streets, each busily or slowly.
At a sudden passing thought, Seo Juhan’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Hey… but are you allowed to drink?”
“I am. I’m legally an adult.”
“No, what are you doing during sacred work hours?”
“Ey. This much is a beverage, a beverage.”
Seo Juhan sighed as if pathetic and snapped sharply.
“Hey, do you want to die from drunk driving?”
“Drunk driving?”
Go Un tilted his head.
“Yeah, man. If you ride a two-wheeler after drinking, that’s drunk driving too, you know?”
“Ah.”
Go Un closed his eyes as if he understood what it meant.
“I don’t normally do delivery.”
“…”
“And the bike is currently being repaired for a bit.”
“…”
What? Then why did he come every time I ordered delivery?
Seo Juhan bit his lip, full of doubt.
Meanwhile, Go Un sat sideways facing Seo Juhan and put one elbow on the table. Then he wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb while subtly scanning the person sitting in front.
His gaze that had been wandering here and there reached the tray on the table.
“…What. Don’t tell me you’re also an Essentiel?”
“…”
“Are you an Essentiel?”
When there was no answer, the question fell again.
“…What are you talking about?”
Seo Juhan, who’d been absorbed in his own thoughts, reacted late.
“That thing.”
Go Un gestured with his chin at the burger Seo Juhan had left. The colorful wrapper was completely different from the existing menu.
“Only Eccentric fans order it.”
Ah, fuck.
“I’m not a fan of them, okay?”
Seo Juhan, who’d received the same misunderstanding twice, was disgusted.
Go Un chuckled.
“How old am I to childishly like idols…”
Young fogey Seo Juhan shuddered. He couldn’t even distinguish the faces of idols that all citizens knew.
“You’re totally a baby though.”
Go Un said while tearing his lips into a languid smile.
“What?”
Geez. Seo Juhan clicked his tongue as if absurd.
“Who’s calling who… Hey, when I was in school, you were crawling around in diapers.”
“You seemed like a baby though.”
Go Un tilted his head as if puzzled.
“When I saw you last time, you were going ‘waa waa’ crying.”
“Crazy, when did I!”
Seo Juhan raised his voice indignantly. Then, startled by himself, he looked around. Fortunately, everyone was busy eating and talking, so no one paid attention.
“Don’t you remember?”
Go Un continued, tilting his head languidly.
“Why, you were going ‘waa waa’ with just your dick out.”
“…”
At the suddenly surfacing memory, Juhan was completely at a loss for words.
“That’s why I was going to go. In case you were at home alone going ‘waa’ again.”
Go Un suppressed the giggle that was about to leak out.
“You bastard…”
Seo Juhan glared venomously with a reddened face. His earlobes heated up reddish.
At that reaction, Go Un finally burst out laughing. His shoulders shook as he laughed out loud.
At the brightly blooming laughter, Seo Juhan’s insides boiled over.
“I’m curious what you were like when you were young.”
Go Un said while barely calming his laughter. While dabbing the tears that had formed at the corners of his eyes with his knuckles.
“What were you like when you were young?”
“…”
“Hm? Tell me.”
“…You tell me about yourself.”
Seo Juhan said coldly even with reddened ear tips.
“Wouldn’t your childhood be much more fun to hear about than a model student like me? I’m curious what life is like as a gold spoon who only causes trouble and has a turbulent life.”
It was a stray thought that kept coming up even while studying. It persistently interfered with concentration like a fly.
“Tell me. How did you even think of stealing your dad’s car? Since you siblings teamed up, you must have thought there was nothing to fear.”
“…”
“You know you almost killed someone, right?”
At Seo Juhan’s sarcasm, the cheeky smile slowly disappeared from Go Un’s lips.
Go Un made an uncomfortable expression and tapped the table with his fingertips. He pretended to look out the window for no reason while clearing his throat with a *khm*.
“Well, no one got hurt. Why do you keep bringing up old stories?”
“Anyone listening would think it’s a story from 20 years ago.”
When Seo Juhan sneered, Go Un went “Ah fuck…” while scratching the back of his head hard. As if frustrated inside, he gulped down the beer can and set it down with a thud.
Go Un, who crossed his arms silently, moved his eyes busily toward the window. Then he opened his mouth quietly as if making excuses.
“I also feel all grown up now, but there was a time when I was like a baby.”
Go Un spoke while carefully reading the room. However, no sense of guilt could be felt in his heavy voice.
“Huh? There was a time when I thought that kind of thing was fucking cool. And it wasn’t just me, that bastard was egging me on from the side.”
At the attitude where no reflection could be found, Seo Juhan clicked his tongue.
“So how was it doing Dawn Racing? Did you feel really cool driving that flashy foreign car?”
Go Un swept the inside of his cheek with his tongue with a sullen look.
“Did you feel like you were on a completely different level from other insignificant people?”
“…”
“Well, you are on a different level. It’s all going to be yours anyway. Are you just playing at part-time work now?”
“…”
“What’s with this apron? Don’t you think it’s hypocritical? Do those people even know you’re the chairman’s son? They’d feel fucking betrayed if they knew.”
Seo Juhan sneered thoroughly with a sour look.
Go Un shook his head as if they couldn’t communicate, with a bitter expression.
Click. Instead, he opened another can of beer.
“Right, I was curious about that too. How do you spend sixteen million won in one night at a club?”
Go Un, holding beer in one hand, raised his eyebrows.
“What do you have to do to spend sixteen hundred? Do you stack towers with liquor bottles?”
“What’s that?”
Go Un immediately erased his flustered look and pouted his lips while declaring confidently.
“What good is it to pile money up at home? You have to spend some to contribute to economic development.”
Seo Juhan opened his mouth in disbelief.
“Ah, so it was a good thing for a minor to go to a club and get drunk?”
“Is it because of just drinking a bit? No, then the country shouldn’t have allowed such addictive substances in the first place. They just collect taxes on it. Don’t you know teenagers originally have underdeveloped frontal lobes so their self-control is weak?”
Go Un had no hesitation in expounding his argument.
“And it’s only because it’s modern society that we’re treated as kids. In the Joseon era, I’d be married and then some. That club made a profit too, so it was mutual symbiosis.”
“This… crazy bastard…”
Seo Juhan let out a hollow laugh in disbelief.
“I don’t know why you keep holding onto that so stubbornly, both before and now.”
Go Un glanced at him as if he himself was suspicious.
“Are you worried I was going around picking people up?”
Then he prodded subtly while thoroughly scanning Seo Juhan’s flushed face.
“Right? Don’t tell me you’re jealous?”
“That doesn’t even sound like proper words. Am I crazy?”
Seo Juhan recoiled as if to say stop talking nonsense.
“Then what? What. How did me going to a club and swiping dad’s card harm you?”
Go Un raised his chin triumphantly as if to say wasn’t he right?
“…”
Seo Juhan trembled in frustration.
He hadn’t come to receive this kind of treatment. He got even more heated because he couldn’t think of what to say in response.
“See? You can’t answer, right? I didn’t harm you.”
Go Un raised one corner of his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.
Seo Juhan clenched his fist tightly. The competitive spirit he’d kept well-preserved surged up. He couldn’t just leave after coming all this way.
“You, that, that…”
His red lips mumbled. Before he knew it, his knees were facing Go Un.
Go Un tilted his head and observed that appearance closely.
“That dir… dirty…”
Seo Juhan’s pale face trembled with heat. He couldn’t quite finish his words.
“Ah.”
Go Un narrowed his eyes as if he’d just gained enlightenment.
“Because I played with your dick dirtily?”
At the vulgar expression, his heated face turned even more red and blue.
Seo Juhan pressed down his cap, conscious that someone around might have heard.
Go Un leaned languidly with his elbow on the table. As if that much didn’t matter at all, he spread out and comfortably opened his legs.
“Ey, it’s clean now though?”
He trembled at the coaxing voice.
“How can I prove this?”
Go Un gazed at somewhere in the air as if pondering. He grinned while sneaking sidelong glances.
He couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
Seo Juhan stood up abruptly.
