Chapter 105
Being 20 years old wasn’t as fun as Siwoo expected. He sighed as he left the Blue Campus. Somehow, he studied enough to get into university, but he couldn’t find too many advantages in being a university student. Well, perhaps except for being able to legally drink and have sex. (Although he did both in his teens anyway.)
“Hey.”
There was one more thing he could do more freely now. It was being able to see Shin Kim as much as he wanted now that he had left the dorm and had his own place to live.
Shin Kim ran towards him like a puppy.
Shin Kim. His first love.
In reality, they were very good friends, and although Shin was his first love, Siwoo didn’t have an overt sexual desire for him. Siwoo suspected that Shin was many people’s first love.
Since the first time they met in high school, they had a lot in common. They never were in the same classes and they didn’t have any mutual friends, but for some reason, they became and remained close. It may have been because they were both very social but also private at the same time. They understood each other very well.
They found each other comfortable because although they were close, they also knew how to keep a proper distance.
Shin would never know he was Siwoo’s first love. To be honest, Siwoo himself only realized it recently after he became a legal adult. One night, Shin fell asleep while drinking and after studying his face, Siwoo realized that he liked men. It felt so natural to admit it.
Siwoo asked, “Do you like your elective?”
“Not really.”
“Didn’t you say you were in the same class as that girl who is majoring in ballet?”
“Can’t remember.”
Shin grinned and Siwoo placed his hand on his left chest. Thankfully, Shin was addicted to both dating and sex. After the serious car accident during high school, Shin stopped swimming but instead developed a weakness for the ladies. But Shin could never be faithful to one person. He, in fact, saw sex as some sort of sport. And there was no doubt on earth that Shin was heterosexual.
When Siwoo told him he was gay, Shin didn’t say much. All he said was that he wasn’t surprised, and this answer was very comforting to Siwoo.
Siwoo asked, “Did you sleep with her?”
“Yup.”
“And how was it?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“Sex is the most interesting topic no matter what you are. Gay or heterosexual.”
“She liked it when I did her, and she felt sad when I went afterward. The end.”
Hmm, Siwoo thought maybe Shin was only addicted to sex, not dating. Now that he thought about it, Shin picked up women easily, but once he had his fun, he was a cold dude who refused to keep anyone in his life. This was definitely not dating.
Siwoo replied, “That’s so mean and unconscientious.”
“Why? She asked me to do her, so I did.”
Shin’s eyebrows arched attractively. He could be a jerk, but no one could deny that Shin was a very good-looking guy. 186 cm, a swimmer’s body, a beautiful smile, and an outgoing personality. Whenever Shin walked by, the girls stared openly. The problem here was that Shin enjoyed being the center of attention. He would smile and look at them with open desire. Some called women flowers, but Siwoo felt Shin was the most beautiful flower of them all with an alluring scent.
Shin grinned and asked, “Do you know that you are looking at me like I am a total asshole?”
“Did you eat yet?”
“Nope. Wanna grab lunch together?”
“Sure.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever you want is fine.”
“You are too cute, Siwoo.”
With a smile, Shin patted Siwoo’s nose twice. It was such a familiar gesture and it would have been easy to mistake it for interest. Thankfully, Siwoo knew better. He was also glad that Shin didn’t know the fact he used to be Siwoo’s first love.
Shin asked, “What are you doing for dinner? Do you want to have a drink with me?”
They began to walk towards the university cafeteria, which was located at the center of the campus. Shin held Siwoo’s shoulders and the fresh mint scent covered Siwoo’s nose. They were both 20 years old, but Shin seemed very different than Siwoo, or any other person their age. Shin was… a completely different kind.
As they walked, the girls stared at Shin again. They all looked like they wanted Shin.
‘They are all being fooled by this sex addict.’
Suddenly, Shin turned towards Siwoo and asked, “Hey, you know what?”
“What?”
Shin smiled knowingly and lowered his face to whisper to Siwoo’s ear, “My partners hate you.”
“…What?”
“No matter who I date, every one of my partners hates you. They don’t hate any of my other friends. The girls told me they don’t like you because you are too pretty.”
Shin wiggled his eyebrows meaningfully. He could be such a jerk.
Siwoo replied, “You are a bastard, Shin.”
“What? Why?”
“Don’t call them partners. Call them your lovers.”
“What lovers? It’s strictly such sex. All I do is put it in them.”
“You pull out too, don’t you?”
At Siwoo’s dirty joke, Shin laughed loudly. He grinned, showing off his teeth, looking like a wild animal. Shin used to be such an innocent pure boy when he was in high school, and Siwoo wondered if something went wrong in his brain from the car accident. But Siwoo had to admit that the changes weren’t all that bad. Of all people, Shin still knew to never cross the line.
Siwoo replied, “I have plans tonight, so I can’t go with you.”
“Where are you going?”
“It’s none of your business, Shin.”
When Shin looked at him with mock anger, Siwoo ignored him and looked around campus. They were too young to be thinking and worrying about the future. They were only 20 after all. Siwoo just wanted to live his life doing what he wanted.
And one fateful day, still in his early 20’s, Siwoo met R.
