XX Bucket List — Chapter 2

JINHA, YOU OKAY?

...DOWOON OPPA?

DOWOON OPPA.

WHAT'S WRONG? YOU FEELING SICK ANYWHERE?

MY BROTHER'S FRIEND WHO LIVED IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO UPRIGHT IN APPEARANCE AND WITH A PERSONALITY TO MATCH, IT MADE ME WONDER WHY HE WAS FRIENDS WITH OUR JERK OF AN OPPA.

BACK IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I EVEN WENT TO HIS PARENTS’ HOUSE AND SERIOUSLY ASKED IF WE COULD TRADE HIM FOR MY BROTHER .

SEEING HIM HERE BRINGS A WAVE OF RESENTMENT...

THE THING IS...

W-WAIT, HOLD IT IN JUST A SEC!

OPPA, EVEN SO, I'M NOT THROWING UP IN THE ELEVATOR.

I CAN HOLD IT I...!!

PLEASE...... JINHA

HOLD ON JUST A LITTLE LONGER.

YOU LOOKED LIKE IT WAS AN EMERGENCY SO I BROUGHT YOU TO MY PLACE, ARE YOU FEELING A BIT BETTER?

YEAH, IT WAS A CLOSE CALL, THANKS TO YOU I SURVIVED.

BUT AT THIS HOUR, AREN'T PARENTS ASLEEP?

THEY BOTH RETIRED RECENTLY AND WENT ON A TRIP TO EUROPE.

JUST THE TWO OF THEM? WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I'VE GOT TO GO TO SCHOOL.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER

AH, RIGHT, OF COURSE.

It's been a while since I was appointed so it's unfamiliar

THANKS FOR TODAY.

WELL, I'LL BE HEADING OUT-

OOF... IT HURTS.

OPPA, ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU HURT?

LET... GO...

...HUH?

JUST LET...

...GO OF MY HAND.

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT FELL OUT, BUT...

THIS IS...

THAT THING...?

JINHA,

H-HAND.

AH, SORRY.

IS IT THIS BIG?

NO, THIS BIG?!

Thick and heavy..

HOLY SHIT.

I'LL CLEAN THIS UP LATER, SO COME OUT AND DRINK SOME WATER TO SOBER UP.

UH...

HERE, DRINK THIS.

THANKS.

CALL IT MY IMAGINATION OR WHAT,

BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HOW THICK THAT AREA LOOKS...!

GO JINHA, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

HUH? OH, I'M LISTENING.

BUT WHAT DID YOU SAY? IT WAS SO BIG I COULDN'T HEAR YOU.

TOO BIG TO HEAR, YOU MEAN?

NO, NO, TOO SMALL TO HEAR, I MEAN. HAHA. Ah-geez, this is driving me crazy

Ah-geez, this is driving me crazy

HEY, IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH YOU LATELY?

EVER SINCE YOU OPENED THE CAFE, YOU SWORE OFF ALCOHOL FOR A WHILE SO IT WOULDN'T INTERFERE WITH WORK.

WHY DID YOU DRINK SO MUCH TODAY?

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

HIS VOICE, WHICH USUALLY USED TO BE SO CALM AND MEASURED IT EVEN MADE ME SLEEPY SOMETIMES, SOUNDS SO SWEET TODAY!

IS THIS THE POWER OF BEING HONRY?

GO JINHA, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME PROPERLY AGAIN.

HUH? NO, NO, I WAS LISTENING.

YOU ASKED IF SOMETHING WAS GOING ON LATELY.

IF I'M OKAY WITH YOU, I'LL LISTEN, SO TELL ME.

UH... WELL... IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TALK ABOUT.

I CAN'T SAY FOR THE LIFE OF ME THAT AFTER SEEING MY EX-BOYFRIEND'S TINY DICK, I GOT TRAUMATIZED AND THOUGHT EVERY MAN IN THE WORLD WAS LIKE THAT, SO I WAS DEPRESSED THINKING I MIGHT NEVER HAVE A REAL SEXUAL EXPERIENCE AGAIN, BUT SEEING YOURS COMPLETELY CURED ALL MY WORRIES.

IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO TELL EVEN ME?

IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE IN QUESTION THAT I CAN'T TELL YOU.

HOW GREAT MUST THE WOMAN WHO SLEEPS WITH HIM...

...AH.

THERE'S SOMEONE I LIKE...

IT'S JUST HARD BECAUSE MY FEELINGS FOR THAT PERSON ARE SO OVERWHELMING.

THERE IS SOMEONE YOU LIKE? ...WHO IS IT?

YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED IF YOU HEARD, BUT DO YOU STILL WANT TO HEAR?

ACTUALLY...

YOU ARE MY IDEAL TYPE, OPPA.

I'VE...ALWAYS LIKED YOU. OPPA.

...WHAT?

YOU LIKE ME...?
