That face was enough to captivate anyone in an instant.
‘It’s not that Ms. Mi-yeong is here, but I don’t really like seeing him stuck with a guy like this.’
Mo Yeon-hu, who had been momentarily stunned, quickly regained his senses. And he immediately tried to push the man away.
‘A mole?’
But the mole on the man’s face caught his eye. His features were so striking that he hadn’t noticed it until later.
A mole precisely marked under his left eye and another located beneath the end of his eyebrow. The two moles, separated by the eye, were in a strange position, as if they were connected yet not connected.
‘Have I… seen him somewhere?’
That unique mole placement felt somehow familiar.
Just as he was getting the feeling that he had seen it somewhere, the streetlights flickered, and his bluish hair momentarily appeared black.
Foreign country, loud English conversations, Korean interspersed, laughter, arms around shoulders, murmuring people…
“…Black hair?”
A person with particularly black hair and white skin. Yet, he stood out because of his striking features…
“Do you remember?”
A certain person vaguely came to mind.
At that moment, the man smiled. His face was filled with joy, as if he had never been gloomy. But Mo Yeon-hu couldn’t smile back.
‘He’s someone I saw at Lee Seung-hwan’s party.’
There was this guy named Lee Seung-hwan who played especially dirty. Although they didn’t quite click, Mo Yeon-hu had maintained a connection with him because they were childhood friends, but after the last party he went to, he finally cut ties with him. The reason was simple.
‘He’s a Drug addict, that bastard.’
He had heard rumors that the guy had started doing drugs.
Mo Yeon-hu, who absolutely hated drugs, immediately cut off contact with him…
‘Ah! I get it!’
If the person in front of him was indeed someone he had met at Lee Seung-hwan’s party, then all of this made sense.
Unlike his decent-looking face, he kept avoiding his eyes as if he was guilty of something, his rambling speech, the car door wide open despite the pouring rain, the sudden warm greeting even though they had no memory of talking, even his seemingly unhinged behavior.
‘He’s a Drug addict too.’
He had a feeling that getting involved would only lead to trouble.
“…Who are you?”
“Just now, you said black hair-”
“I think you must have misheard.”
Mo Yeon-hu decided to play dumb.
‘Never get involved.’ Seeing Mo Yeon-hu quickly choosing to cut him off, the man paused for a moment and then tilted his head slightly. He fluttered his unusually long eyelashes a few times and then opened his mouth bluntly.
“You remembered that I had black hair, didn’t you?”
“No… I didn’t.”
“You did.”
Even with the man’s slightly sulky attitude, Mo Yeon-hu spoke clearly without yielding.
“I really don’t know who you are, but I hope you find the person you’re looking for.”
As the man’s expression, fixed on Mo Yeon-hu who was drawing a line, gradually hardened, Mo Yeon-hu moved.
‘I need to get out of here quickly.’
Running away is a game of speed.
“Hyung, just a moment.”
Just as the man, noticing Mo Yeon-hu slowly moving away, urgently reached out his hand.
Ding-dong
“Hey! What are you doing here… Oh?!”
At the cheerful voice, Mo Yeon-hu, who was about to leave, stopped without realizing it. Well, he had no choice. Because.
“Oh? Hello!”
Kang Mi-yeong was looking at him.
Mo Yeon-hu froze at the sight of her casual clothes for the first time, but soon regained his senses.
“He… hello, hello.”
‘I bit my tongue in surprise…’
Mo Yeon-hu quickly lowered his head slightly. His tongue throbbed, so he covered his mouth, but his eyes met Kang Mi-yeong’s again.
She was staring at Mo Yeon-hu, literally just staring. The drizzling rain, and the intersecting gazes of the slightly wet Mo Yeon-hu and Kang Mi-yeong.
“What.”
A cool voice cut through the silence.
“Why are you greeting him?”
The man spoke to Kang Mi-yeong, who was peeking her head out, holding onto the cafe door. Mo Yeon-hu was surprised to hear the man’s voice.
‘Is it the same person?’
The coldly lowered voice was completely different from the way he had spoken to Mo Yeon-hu a moment ago. His expression, which had been sparkling just a moment ago, now had no light at all and looked indifferent and cold.
“What~”
Kang Mi-yeong reacted as if embarrassed by the man’s words, then hurriedly turned her gaze to Mo Yeon-hu.
“Ah! But what should I do! It’s raining so much that we closed the store a little early.”
She seemed sorry that a customer had come to the cafe but they had closed early. Of course, that wasn’t important to Mo Yeon-hu. Wasn’t his goal to see Kang Mi-yeong, even from afar?
“…I see. That’s too bad.”
But honestly, he couldn’t say that he had come to see Kang Mi-yeong, you.
As he barely regained his composure and spoke, the man, who had been watching them quietly, made a thoughtful expression and asked Kang Mi-yeong.
“Do you know him?”
“Ah, he’s a customer who comes to our cafe often….”
Kang Mi-yeong and the man seemed quite close. Mo Yeon-hu, watching the two of them speaking informally, wondered how such a coincidence could happen, but then his mouth dropped open at the conversation that followed.
“Mom told you to pick me up, right?”
“Yeah. Your aunt said it’s raining a lot, so she told me to go to you quickly.”
Mom? Aunt?
‘Are they family…?’
It’s a relief that they’re not dating or lovers, but Kang Mi-yeong is close to a Drug addict?
‘Let’s run away.’
He concluded that it would be better to get out of here, whatever the case may be, and come back later.
“There are more than one or two customers at the cafe, how do you remember him?”
“No~, he’s just a regular.”
“You? No way. You have a bad memory.”
“Are you trying to fight?”
“Why do you remember him?”
“I’m asking if you’re trying to fight.”
Even as they subtly glanced at each other, the two were still bickering. Now was his chance, since they weren’t paying attention to him.
The rain had stopped just in time. He had to get out of here and catch a taxi. Mo Yeon-hu, who had been slowly moving, rolled his eyes repeatedly and then turned his body abruptly as if he had made up his mind.
“Oh, wait a moment!”
Kang Mi-yeong, who had been arguing with the man and belatedly discovered this, called out to Mo Yeon-hu. At Kang Mi-yeong’s voice, Mo Yeon-hu almost reflexively turned around. But he restrained his desire to turn around and walked away quickly.
Mo Yeon-hu, who was a little bothered by the unexpected connection, thought that he should ask his friends about it in detail later.
‘By the way, are there any kids among Lee Seung-hwan’s acquaintances that I still keep in touch with?’
As he retraced his friend list, someone grabbed his shoulder.
Thud!
Mo Yeon-hu, who had been grabbed and turned around, blinked.
“Wa, it. Just a moment.”
The man was right in front of him. The man, who seemed out of breath as if he had been running, looked flustered.
‘Already…?’
Mo Yeon-hu glanced at the cafe. The distance was quite far, but the man had caught up to him in an instant.
‘Did he run?’
As he was surprised that he had tried so hard to catch him, the man gave him an umbrella along with a note. When he just kept staring at him, he cautiously hung the umbrella on Mo Yeon-hu’s arm, unlike when he had appeared so confidently.
“It’s, raining. Just because.”
The man, who was subtly watching him, had a completely different attitude from when he had been bickering with Kang Mi-yeong.
The man, who had inadvertently made Mo Yeon-hu hold the umbrella, handed him the note again.
“This is my number.”
The man’s attitude, handing the rustling paper to Mo Yeon-hu, was very cautious, unlike his sharp eyes.
“I have something to say, so could you please contact me?”
Mo Yeon-hu stared at the man.
‘Is this kind of person a Drug addict’s friend?’
Of course, looking at that striking face alone, he would fit in perfectly with parties, but his behavior is too docile, isn’t it? Did I misunderstand?
“Um….”
Mo Yeon-hu, who had been hesitating, parted his lips.
“Why did you leave this open! All the rain is coming in!”
Mo Yeon-hu’s expression turned cold as he shifted his gaze to Kang Mi-yeong shouting from afar.
‘He’s definitely a Drug addict.’
He had thought that only the driver’s side door was open earlier, but looking again, even the trunk was wide open…
“Contact me. Okay?”
He was curious about what he wanted to say, but Mo Yeon-hu wanted to distance himself from Drug addicts.
But anyway, he’s someone involved with Kang Mi-yeong, and he’s not confident in beating this big guy.
“Okay.”
Mo Yeon-hu answered insincerely. Of course, he had no intention of contacting him, so he roughly nodded and raised his head…
“I’ll be waiting.”
Mo Yeon-hu paused for a moment. Aren’t all guys’ smiles the same? No matter how much they smile, it shouldn’t be that impressive…
He couldn’t take his eyes off the smiling face in front of him now. How can he be so handsome?
“Kwon Mi-eon…! What are you doing there!”
Kang Mi-yeong called out to the man again from afar. Only then did Mo Yeon-hu learn the man’s name.
Kwon Mi-eon.
