The Guide Is Fixing His Regrets

“This reminds me of the first time I followed Tae-Woo to the gate.”

So-Won was looking at the hands held together and smiled as he recalled the past. When he first followed Tae-Woo heading to the gate, he was holding his hand in the car as he is now. At that time, it felt difficult to even hold a hand.

The So-Won murmured unconsciously.

“At that time, Tae-Woo didn’t hold my hand like this first….”

Whenever So-Won, took courage and held his hands, he only brought the back of his hand weakly with an overly careful movement. But now, Tae-Woo knew how to reach out his hand first and give a friendly hug to So-Won who was kissing him.

“If we held hands, I thought Lee So-Won would break.”

Tae-Woo must have said it sincerely, but even with such a thing, So-Won’s heart was pounding as if it were broken. So-Won turned his head as if he were looking at the road to hide his face where his emotions were openly revealed. His heart seemed to beat in the hand Tae-Woo was holding, but he did not let go of it.

There was still no sign of movement in the cars standing on the blocked road, as if there was a big accident in front of them. While So-Won and Tae-Woo were talking, the car only move a few meters. But the So-Won was feeling good. H can hold hands with Tae-Woo for a bit more.

So-Won suddenly remembered something she had forgotten like a comet in her head, feeling the wavelength flowing through her hands.

“Ah!”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“I was supposed to visit my parents when I came back from Canada, but I forgot….”

So-Won touched his forehead. He promised to stop by the house as soon as he returned home, but he completely forgot after putting it off day by day. So-Won didn’t even contact them, so he would definitely receive some nagging once he return.

Should he call now? It’s not late at night yet, so they’ll pick up. If he makes an excuse that he had been too busy and forget about it and say that he’ll definitely go this week…They’ll get angry. Ha ha ha ha. So-Won, who realized that it was already too late gave a deep sigh.

When he go home this time, he should buy a present that his parents would like. So-Won didn’t know if hecould distract his parents’ attention a little if I went home with a lot of this and that in my arms.

Seein So-Won’s expression getting gloomy, he asked.

“Then would you like to go now?”

“Now?”

“Yes. I’ll take you there.”

So-Won agonized and looked at the road that was blocked. It hasn’t been long since they left the association, so they could get to So-Won’s house right away if Tae-Woo turned the car around. However, So-Won, who had delayed answering for a while, shook his head.

“No. I’ll go next time. I just want to rest today.”

So-Won just wanted to bury himself in the sheet. These days, he was very tired whenever he went home because he was avoiding Si-Hyuk who came every day. And that would be the same for Tae-Woo. Tae-Woo had to go to the gate tomorrow, so it was better to get home quickly and let him rest.

It’s late anyway, so it won’t change if he postpone seeing his parents for another day or two.

“Ah……!”

At that time, somethingt suddenly came to mind and he turned his head toward Tae-Woo.

“Tae-Woo, would you like to go to my parents’ house when you come back from this gate?”

“Do you mean me?”

“Yes. I want to introduce Tae-Woo to my parents.”

So-Won nodded vigorously. Come to think of it, he made up his mind before going abroad. Someday, he will introduce Tae-Woo to his parents and introduce his parents to Tae-Woo.

“They won’t be glad to see me if I go.”

The veins are graduallyreciding, and the complexion was good. It was an invisible slow pace, but he was definitely getting better little by little.

“Don’t worry. If they saw Tae-Woo, I’m sure my parents will like you, too.”

So-Won was sure they would like him. Tae-Woo is nice and kind. If his parents knew that Tae-Woo is actually a good person, his parents won’t be so worried even if he doesn’t contact them in the future.

So-Won’s eyes shone brightly. Tae-Woo turned his eyes to the distance as if he was in trouble.

” Tae-Woo?”

“…”

Of course, he won’t take Tae-Woo without saying anything. While Tae-Woo was away at the gate, So-Won was going to go home and notify his parents in advance. If So-Won take him suddenly, they will be surprised, so he should not forget to give his parents time to prepare their minds and to firmly ask them not to act or say rude things to Tae-Woo.

However, Tae-Woo, who had been fulfilling unreasonable demands when So-Won asked, did not easily accept it this time. It seemed to be because of the pressure to meet with people who would be afraid of him. Tae-Woo has been rejected so far, so his behavior was not incomprehensible.

“If you feel pressured, you don’t have to go.”

Unfortunately, Tae-Woo seems to be in trouble, so So-Won decided to step down at this point. He didn’t mean to take Tae-Woo by force, so it was better to quit first. But he didn’t mean to give up.

“But you have to go with me later.”

“I see.”

Only then did Tae-Woo nod quietly. Just in time, the cars that had been blocked began to move slowly. Tae-Woo’s car moved forward little by little, and he released So-Won’s hand, which had earlier.

Tae-Woo left home early the next morning. When he heard that the area where the gate was opened was too far and that it could take a long time because it was so large, So-Won decided not to follow him this time and stay at home. Instead, So-Won got up early and saw Tae-Woo off.

“Uh, it’s cold….”

The early morning air was cold. Even though he wore thick outerwear over his pajamas, cold air came into his clothes. As So-Won’s shoulders trembled, Tae-Woo, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth.

“It’s all right if you don’t see me off. It’s cold, so go inside now.”

“I know, I’ll go in after seeing Tae-Woo go.”

So-Won shook his head. So-Won’s nose was red, his ears were red, and his fingertips were red.Tae-Woo was quietly looking at So-Won, and approached So-Won. So-Won thought Tae-Woo was going to get guidance before he left

Tae-Woo’s large body blocked the fierce wind. The tremors began to stop. He forgot the cold and buried his face in the large arms in front of him, his cold skin quickly warmed up.

“Lee So-Won.”

“What?”

“When are you going to your parents?”

“My parents? Well…. I’m not sure yet.”

“If it’s after I get back from the gate, I’ll go, too.”

“Really?”

So-Won thought it would take a long time to take him away, he thought it was a good thing to tell Tae-Woo yesterday.

Tae-Woo’s expression became softer as So-Won was obviously happy. So-Won hugged Tae-Woo tightly and shouted. “I’ll make sure you don’t regret it! I’m sure my parents will like you, too!”

So-Won began to chatter about his parents. Tae-Woo quietly listened to So-Won’s words and noticed his fingers that turned red. He raised one arm and held So-Won’s hands. His cold frozen hands, quickly regained their warmth in Tae-Woo’s hands.

While So-Won continued to talk, Tae-Woo covered So-Won’s ears, rubbed hus cheeks, and warmed So-Won’s body partially. So-Won forgot that it was cold and talked easily in Tae-Woo’s arms, and belatedly noticed Tae-Woo’s behavior. So-Won’s mouth closed like a clam. For a moment, So-Won’s face flushed like maple leaves, with his eyes wide open in surprise.

As So-Won’s face turned red, Tae-Woo lightly placed his hands on So-Won’s cheeks to share his warmth. The cold cheek quickly became hot, So-Won opened his mouth before his face would be fully red.

“Well, then, take care!”

So-Won kissed Tae-Woo’s lips briefly. In addition to hugging Tae-Woo, Tae-Woo was bending his face to So-Won, so his lips touched as soon as he lifted his heel.

“I’ll be back.”

Tae-Woo also kissed his forehead. He waved his hands as Tae-Woo’s car got farther away, he then entered the house, rubbing his forehead blankly.

So-Won flopped down on the sofa.

“Wow….”

The feeling of the lips touching the forehead was vivid. When he opened his eyes in the morning, So-Won thought of taking tranquilizers and falling asleep again as soon as Tae-Woo left, but now his eyes were clear because his heart was pounding.

So-Won sat on the sofa, lost his mind, and jumped up. He shouldn’t be like this, he should hurry up and visit his parents and tell them that he will come with Tae-Woo soon. So-Won quickly started getting ready to go out.

He felt as light as if he was going to fly. So-Won was already excited to introduce his parents and the place he grew up in to Tae-Woo.
