"Senior."
When I was in a ridiculous situation, Woojae approached leisurely.
He lowered himself to Won's eye level.
Won's chin slowly returned to its place as he gently lifted it up.
"I told you to be careful."
"Are you crazy?"
"That wasn't an empty threat."
It was a monotonous voice. It was too flat to be called a threat.
The pain in the palm of his hand, which had been rolled on the floor, was no longer felt.
"It was you who reached out for help first, senior."
"...."
"Did you forget?"
A voice that didn't have any enthusiasm pierced through Won's mind. It felt like his teeth were grinding against each other.
"I asked what you were doing."
"..."
"There's nothing like that. It's just that the senior got caught in a bad situation."
As if mocking the frozen Won, Woojae laughed this time with innocence and lightly tapped Won's cheek with his index finger.
"So, please live up to my expectations."
