“Kangwoo, I have to leave now.”
“Where are you going?”
Kangwoo gave a long lick on the remaining red marks on Heewoon’s neck. Heewoon, who was whimpering softly and hunching his shoulders, turned his head around.
“Please, Kangwoo…”
Heewoon grabbed Kangwoo’s fingertips and locked eyes with him.
“Can you do better tomorrow?”
“Yeah. I’ll do better.”
How will you do better? Just how many times have you said that? Heewoon didn’t know what to do with Kangwoo’s teasing words, but in the end, he finally broke free.
After cleaning the remaining semen and brushing his teeth in Kangwoo’s bathroom, Heewoon headed out of the house. He sighed as he called a taxi. As he continued to take a taxi to go and leave Kangwoo’s house, his spending piled up. Although he didn’t have to spend on lunch, still, it seemed like it would be difficult to make it through the month with the remaining money.
Heewoon took a taxi and got off at a nearby bus stop to go to his student’s house, dozing off in the journey. He almost missed the stop, so he got off in a hurry and even stumbled in his frantic running.
“Teacher, please stop eating.”
His stomach felt empty again because he had thrown up today’s dinner. He had eaten a few pieces of cookies from the plate, and the student frowned at him.
“Ahem. Did you finish everything?”
“Yes. But, Teacher.”
“Why?”
The eyes behind the round glasses stared straight at Heewoon. The student spun the sharpener in his hand and sighed.
“Aren’t you being a bit too unmannered lately? Even though your pronunciation sucks, you keep trying hard, so I continued with your lessons. But these days, you’re a bit off. You come just right on time for class, and are you making mock questions for my midterm exam?”
Heewoon stared blankly at the golden frame of his glasses shining under the fluorescent light.
“I haven’t told my mom yet, so please be more careful. You should be more concerned about my midterm than yours.”
How old was he again? 16?
“And if possible, please, at least have dinner before you come.”
The baby-faced student stared at the small wrappers placed in front of Heewoon, as if disgusted. Heewoon responded belatedly.
Okay. I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful.
That day, he didn’t doze off on the bus ride back home. He stared out the window blankly and took out his phone. The phone, which had been out of contract for three years, was still working fine.
He checked the schedule and saw that he had an assignment due tomorrow. He looked at the clock. 1:14 am. Since he had already finished more than half of it, he could sleep by 3 am tonight.
He had a class at 9 am, so he needed to wake up at 7 am, take a shower, and leave immediately. He could study for his major core exam while walking. He still had time to study because the exam was next Monday. And he would have lunch with Seo Kangwoo, and have sex with him at night. He would prepare for his tutoring student on the bus, be more careful during class, and then do his own assignments after that…
The bus made a screeching sound and came to a stop. It was caught in a traffic light. Outside the window, he could see the Han River. The black sky and the black river were indistinctly divided.
Heewoon’s eyes followed that faint line until the bus started again and the buildings blocked the view of the river.
