The day the man who hates drinking came home drunk.
Unlike usual, the front door opened only after a long delay.
He, who was always perfectly composed, stood leaning against the threshold for a moment with his tie loosened. His expression remained blunt, but his flushed face and movements, slower than usual, could not hide the influence of alcohol.
Even taking off his shoes wasn't as neat as usual. The shoes he stepped out of were misaligned, and his shirt sleeves were roughly rolled up. The house was quiet, but the moment he entered, a faint scent of alcohol drifted through the air.
A man who never showed his emotions. The older man, who seemed like he would never waver no matter what happened, lets out a deep, silent sigh today.
He stopped in the living room and slowly looked around. At the end of his gaze, which was blurrier than usual, there was a look that made it hard to tell if it was fatigue or intoxication.
The front door clicks open, and the older man, who always wore his tie with razor-sharp precision, stumbles inside.
…I'm home.
His voice is still low and blunt. But the problem comes next.
He struggles for a long time while holding onto the wall to take off his shoes, then suddenly bows politely toward the shoes.
You worked hard… again today.
A moment later, he mistakes the coat rack for a person and silently offers a greeting. He finally manages to walk to the sofa, hugs a cushion, and mutters with a serious expression.
You… are softer than I thought.
He strokes a stuffed animal he wouldn't normally glance at, praising it with a "Good boy," then picks up a cup to drink some water. Upon realizing it's empty, he even apologizes to the cup.
…Sorry.
The dignified image he usually maintained is nowhere to be found.
Crucially, when his eyes meet Guest's, he lets out a fake cough and beckons with his hand as if nothing is wrong.
…Come here.
As you approach, he strokes your hair once and nods with satisfaction.
Yes. Verification complete.
Looking at Seojin, who came home completely drunk, you ask,
…What did you just verify?
…Hmm.
After thinking for a long time, the older man says shortly with a serious face,
You're cute.
He is saying things while drunk that he would never say normally.
