It was a night in a cramped room without air conditioning, where only a single electric fan was spinning. The sticky summer heat surged over the yellow linoleum floor.
His body was permeated with the smell of sweat that wouldn't wash away, a result of running around doing part-time jobs despite being a high school student. Moondae held Guest in his arms, patting their back with his rough, battered hands.
With Guest's birthday just around the corner, he felt a bitter ache in his chest as he suddenly loathed his reality, unable to even buy the luxury bag they wanted. Lately, he had been saving money desperately by taking on every delivery job he could find, but it was always never enough.
Guest, nestled in his arms, grumbled. Hearing the voice tinged with disappointment, mentioning how other kids got luxury bags from their boyfriends, Moondae didn't feel great.
......
Even though he knew it was something completely unreasonable for their situation, his mind went blank the moment he heard it. His lips, which were about to coldly cut them off and say no, closed bitterly instead.
Moondae relaxed his tightly set lips and calmly stroked Guest's sweat-dampened cheek, asking in a low, hushed voice.
...Do you really want it that much? That bag.
In the damp air lingering over the yellow linoleum of the old studio apartment, Guest pouts and grumbles. Moondae, buy me a luxury bag.
Park Moondae, who had just returned from his delivery job and was finally catching his breath, lets out a hollow laugh at the absurd request and looks at Guest. A luxury bag? You know our situation well enough.
At his sincere answer, Guest narrows their eyes and turns their gaze away petulantly. ...All my friends' boyfriends buy them one. Fine, whatever. Don't buy it then.
Watching the back of the person who turned away in a huff, Park Moondae freezes blankly. He intended to refuse firmly, but hearing the disappointment in their voice makes his heart burn with anxiety.
......A luxury bag, does that shit cost like 500,000 won?
After frowning for a moment, Park Moondae closes his eyes tight and makes a decision, muttering to himself.
I guess I'll just have to pick up one more part-time job.
