CHAPTER 31
Recalling the situation, HC and SQS drive home in Han car with the driver, since both drank. SQS announced his decision to take part in a draft. There will be many HC inner exclamations.
HC asked how much was the fee, SQS couldn't say for sure, but within 50-100k which he has. But also added that HC shouldn't worry, he'll leave for few months and will come back shortly. HC was shocked.
HC: Are you leaving? A few months?! You tell me clearly, where are you going to go? My temple can no longer accommodate your big Buddha? Are you planning to open your eyes to see the world and look for a new driver?
The driver behind the wheel didn't get it and actually offered his services since he was a cheap and experienced driver ( ) HC told him to roll, which made the driver wonder if this young master will rob other people of their job.
SQS: Of course not. This is a draft regulation, and everyone who participates in the draft must stay in a dormitory.
HC already felt bad thinking there would be so many people, fresh meat etc. So he refused again.
SQS wondered why he kept refusing, he didn't need his consent. And fell asleep on his knees. HC angrily tried to pinch his face but SQS held his hand after that. HC went through inner torments, baffled that what if SQS joins crews, leaves for months, then becomes someone else's car. He could have hit it off with him, why not with others. Anyway he was overfilled with worries cursing SQS for being a scum man - How could he encounter such a scumbag car, without car stability at all!
(this phrase killed me xD but of course it has a comedic effect, his cursing, he's just too shocked for the moment)
They soon arrived home and looking at sleepy SQS who had such a look he couldn't stop worrying again - just look at him, what will happen with him in entertainment world, that den with tigers and wolves!
SQS went to wash and HC followed worried he's too sleepy to wash and again tried to ask not to go.
HC: Then if you finish the draft, the agent says you need to live together?
SQS: Then live together.
HC: What should I do? How can I drive alone?
SQS, seriously: Then we will dissolve this relationship when I go to the draft, and when I finish the selection, we will see whether to continue.
HC: !!!
HC - This scumbag! His conscience really won't hurt! Because he has no heart at all!
HC: I knew it! People want to make a debut in the draft, but you, you want to go out with so many people, sure enough for you to choose a driver you like.
SQS: ??? *laughing he looked at HC* I said I didn't want to find a new driver.
HC: You have to dissolve the driver agreement with me.
SQS: I will definitely not be able to accompany you on the road, so I let you be free and you can go to other cars.
HC: Is it because I want to find another car or you want to find another driver, I didn’t say that I wanted another car.
SQS: ... Then you wait for me to do it. I should have time after the few months of lodging.
HC: Then what if your company allows your team members to stay together?
SQS, coaxing: I come back to see you secretly, okay?
HC had his anger level decrease, but still was dissatisfied that meeting will be in secret, so SQS had no choice but to kiss and hug to appease.
HC, hugging: So can't you stop going?
SQS: This is my career plan. I cannot change my career plan for you, and once I change it, if I regret it and become dissatisfied in the future, I will blame you, and you will feel guilty. This is not good for us.
HC didn't speak after that.
SQS: So just let it go, I promise I will definitely not go to other drivers, I just go out to work, not out to make appointments, you have to have confidence in yourself. And also in me. Didn't I say I'm your private car?
After which SQS initiated making out and making love.
While SQS fell asleep HC was thinking about what was said. he never bothered about many things that happened in his life, his parents did a lot, people outside weren't making troubles with him, he could freely acts as he wanted, but after living together for some time he couldn't help but worry about SQS, but what SQS said was absolutely correct, although he liked SQS being home and waiting for him, but it was SQS's life and he had no right to intervene.
In the morning SQS was wondering why HC is still sleeping. Which made HC baffled again, so he asked if he spoils the view? To which SQS said that no, but usually he would go make breakfast. Which made HC even more shocked, he provides house, food, night services and what does he get? He is like a nanny a long-term worker. And what a dedicated worker he was. So HC asked for breakfast from SQS but SQS confessed he can only give him instant noodles, he can't really cook (was actor in previous life, so yeah). When cooked SQS himself didn't want to eat, but HC did eat, although those noodles were just ordinary, not in comparison to what HC makes himself. So HC could only sigh and think that he should continue cook himself. Life is not easy!
After that HC went to work and SQS continued his yellow novel.
But back in his office HC was still worried. Its not easy to be a driver. But this time he received a message from YMY, they talked a bit about personal matters, but hearing about inquiry on YJY he couldn't say what really was his relationship with SQS, since everyone asked if he was actually in love, but couldn't help but say that YJY didn't like him as he showed, but he can't tell in details, since he doesn't want to embarrass himself. YMY as a friend of HC since elementary knew that what might have happened in between might have wronged HC, even if HC never told the details, but he knew him well that it should be something that made HC feel really bad and also from attitude of HC the last time he got the idea of what HC was thinking about YJY. So he dropped the topic. HC was actually surprised, that everyone could see the image of YJY liking him, but he knew best, yet he couldn't say it aloud. But YMY also warned HC if it's like this then while YJY doesn't like SQS he should let him bully him.
After they finished HC received an answer from a friend who he asked if he had time and he has a friend who wants debut.
I skipped on HC's crazy imagination of what will happen if he debuts after receiving fis friend inquire if the one debuting was actually HC himself.
*All dialogues are an edited form from MTL version
Heh, HC as one who subconsciously already started to like SQS can't help but to want more, no wonder he has such a big reaction. It's a pity that actually there's no clearer indication on days/time that passed, since once it feels like weeks, other time like days. But SQS's reaction is really withing his character, he was always alone and independent and after all he never was in a relationship, so he doesn't even consider his partner, whatever his partner may be. Tbh I like how this author writes their characters, they do and act within their motivation and how they are.
