"You're staring at him again," Ah Reum said, leaning to her side so she could whisper it in his ear.
Min-jun felt his ears and cheeks heat up instantly.
"But I understand," she continued, her voice teasing yet sincere. "He looks even more attractive than before. I think he's grown a few inches, too."
Min-jun looked more closely at Seung-joon. Yes, the close-cropped haircut made Seung-joon's features sharper, more defined. The baggy shirt didn't do much in hiding his toned muscels. But Min-jun knew his fascination had little to do with Seung-joon's appearance.
He was looking at the man who had accepted his ring and wore it without hesitation, without shame.
"Even if he weren't attractive, I'd still stare at him," Min-jun murmured, touching the gold ring on his finger.
