20. Bones & Sugar-20
The first thing Yan Hong-sik did after returning to South Korea was to sleep.
One is because of the jet lag, and the other is because he is so tired, in these ten days in the United States, he hardly got a good night's sleep.
While Yim Hong-sik was sleeping, Kim Cheol-so was guarding by him, and other than that, he didn't know what else he could do.
In this bustling city, except for Yan Hongzhi, every qiē made him feel strange and panicked.
During this period, Yan Hongzhi's mobile phone rang once, Kim Cheol-so didn't know how to hang up, and he was afraid that the ringtone would make Yan Hong-sik, so he ran to the bathroom with his mobile phone, and waited for the ringtone to stop, before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Hongzhi slept all day, and when he woke up, it was already dark.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Kim Cheol-so lying on the floor of the bedroom, holding a pencil in his left hand and writing and drawing on paper.
Yan Hong-sik rolled over and lay on his side, looked at Kim Cheol-so with his arms on his pillow, and said in a hoarse voice that had just woken up, "What are you doing?" ”
Hearing the sound, Kim Cheol-so raised his head and saw that he had finally woken up, smiled slightly, and said, "Paint." ”
Yan Hongzhi said: "What are you painting? ”
Kim Cheol-so held up the drawing paper and showed it to him.
There are two snowmen drawn on the drawing paper, and there are two people standing next to the snowmen.
Yan Hongzhi smiled and said, "The two people standing next to you, am it me and you?" ”
Kim Cheol-so nodded.
"It's a really good drawing." Yan Hongzhi said: "Are you hungry? ”
Kim Cheol-so said, "I'm hungry. ”
Yan Hongzhi lifted the quilt and got out of bed and said, "Let's go, let's cook." ”
The fridge was empty, with only seven or eight eggs left.
Yan Hongzhi will make egg fried rice.
Kim Cheol-so ate very well, just watching him eat, Yan Hong-sik felt that he seemed to be full.
After eating, Yan Hongzhi brewed two cups of instant coffee.
"Beware of the burn, drink slowly." Yan Hongzhi said.
Kim Cheol-so first sniffed it, it seemed to be quite fragrant, so he stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it along the edge of the cup, and his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, "Bitter ......"
Yan Hongzhi couldn't help laughing, got up and took two sugar cubes and put them in Kim Cheol-so's cup, "Wait for a while to be saccharified and then drink it won't be bitter." ”
The two men sat facing each other, and the chandelier above their heads emitted a gentle warm light, enveloping the two men in it.
Looking at Kim Cheol-so's face, Yim Hong-sik felt that it was time to talk to him about the future.
Yan Hongzhi took a sip of coffee and said, "Zhexiu, would you like to stay and live with me?" ”
Hearing this, Kim Cheol-so raised his head and looked at Yan Hong-sik fixedly, but did not speak.
Yan Hongzhi looked at him and said, "I don't want you to go back to Hwacheon and live that lonely life." You've endured so much pain that you shouldn't have suffered, and from now on, I want you to live a good life. Live in a comfortable house, eat good food, get a good education, do what you want to do, and live a carefree life like this. Although you are about seventy years old this year, you look younger than me, so you can think of me as an older brother. Actually, I have always longed to have a younger brother or sister since I was a child, and it is so lonely to be alone. I don't want to live alone anymore, so, Cheol-so, would you like to stay, be part of my family, and live with me? ”
Kim Cheol-so laughed and said slowly but firmly, "I do." ”
"Great!" Yan Hongzhi was overjoyed.
Kim Cheol-so lowered his head and took a sip of coffee and said, "Sweet." ”
"What are we going to do now?" Yan Hongzhi thought for a while and said, "By the way, I have to clean up the guest room first, and I have to buy you clothes and daily necessities." Cheol-so, let's go, let's go to the mall now! ”
As soon as he said go, Yan Hongzhi went back to his room to get dressed, took the car keys and wallet, but couldn't find his mobile phone.
"Cheol-so, did you see my phone?" Yan Hongzhi asked.
Kim Cheol-so then remembered that he had turned off Yim Hong-sik's mobile phone in the bathroom.
He hurriedly ran into the bathroom, took out his mobile phone, and handed it to Yan Hongzhi.
The phone is out of battery and has automatically turned off.
Yim Hong-sik charged his phone, went out with Kim Cheol-so, and drove to the nearest Paradise department store.
Paradise Department Store is a new department store jointly created by the well-known Kingdom Shopping Center and Giant Department Store.
At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, it is the peak of shopping, and there are many people in the mall.
Yan Hongsik was afraid that Kim Cheol-so would get lost, so he took his hand.
Two tall and handsome men walked hand in hand to the mall, which really attracted a lot of attention, but Yan Hongzhi didn't know it, and still went his own way.
Yim Hong-sik bought a few sets of winter clothes for Kim Cheol-so, thinking that spring was coming soon, so he bought a few more sets of spring clothes.
Then, Yim Hong-sik took Kim Cheol-so to cut his hair.
Kim Cheol-so is already very handsome, and after this dress, he is even more beautiful, and he has an amazing return rate on the road.
The two went to the supermarket to buy bedding, slippers and other daily necessities, and Yan Hongzhi remembered that the refrigerator at home was empty, so he bought a lot of milk, fruits, vegetables and meat, and prepared to fill the refrigerator.
Queued up to settle the bill, pushed a full cart to the parking lot, stuffed things into the trunk, and the two drove home.
Yan Hongzhi likes this feeling very much.
Although it has been less than half a month since I met Kim Cheol-so, I have a sense of familiarity that I have been together for half a lifetime, as if the two of them are really brothers who have lived together since birth.
Two people go out together, and then return with a full load, this is what life should be.
In less than ten minutes, the car drove into the underground parking lot of the community.
The two of them carried large bags and small bags and took the elevator home.
Yim Hong-sik took a sip of water, changed into comfortable home clothes, and began to clean the guest room, with Kim Cheol-so following him.
Cleaning up clutter, wiping tables and mopping floors, making bed covers and quilts, and being very busy.
After a qiē cleaned up, Yan Hongzhi was so tired that he lay on the soft big bed and didn't want to move.
I wanted to take my phone to check the time, but I remembered that the phone was still charging in the bedroom, so I struggled to get up and asked Kim Cheol-so to go to the bathroom to take a shower first, and then go back to the bedroom to get the phone by myself.
The electricity was already full, Yan Hongzhi unplugged the charger and turned it on.
As soon as I entered the home screen, my phone rang with a series of prompts.
Two missed calls, one SMS, one LINE message.
Yan Hongzhi went in one by one and found that these calls and messages were all from one person, Liu Shizhen.
"Why don't you answer the phone? Didn't you say you'd call me as soon as you returned home? Call me back when you see the message. ”
"I'm afraid you won't see LINE, so I'll send you another text message. Hongsik, call me back. ”
Yan Hongzhi hurriedly opened the address book and found "prospective boyfriend Yoo Shizhen", and was about to call when Yoo Shizhen's phone called.
Yan Hongzhi took a deep breath and swiped to answer with apologies.
"Hello, Brother Shi Zhen."
After a moment of silence, Liu Shizhen's deep voice came: "I'm not good at all now. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Yan Hongzhi hurriedly said: "I fell asleep as soon as I came back, and then the phone was automatically turned off when it ran out of power, so I didn't see your phone and messages." ”
Liu Shizhen said: "As long as you appear in front of me within five minutes, I will forgive you." ”
Yan Hongzhi said: "Huh? Where are you now? ”
Liu Shizhen said: "I'm downstairs at your house. ”
