RSL Ch 42
Since returning from Rome, I've had three days off. During that time, I received three calls from Han Jae-yi. Just before I boarded the plane, right after I went through immigration, and on the bus back home. He kept asking the same things. Did you sleep well? Did you eat? Are you tired? These questions, which were once mere pleasantries, now held genuine concern and curiosity. Are you doing well over there? Are you okay without me? As I gradually adjusted to our changed relationship, I received a…-

Drinking with Alain was enjoyable. We chatted for about two more hours before heading outside. When he asked again if I really wouldn't go to the club, I declined once more. We called two taxis in front of the hotel. He headed to Itaewon, and I squeezed into a taxi going home. I was only drunk enough to feel good. The taxi's radio was playing a story from a listener, and I found myself laughing out loud. The driver, apparently pleased that his passenger was enjoying the radio, turned up the volume. It…-

What felt like a minute but was actually three hours later, I realized my phone was vibrating. In the dark room, the screen lit up brightly. I reached out and answered the call. I barely finished saying hello when Han Jae-yi spoke. -Damn meeting just ended. I saw your message and ran out right away. Sorry if I woke you up, but just let me hear your voice for a bit. I could hear the ambient noise of people and footsteps beyond the phone. I could picture him in a suit, walking to the parking lot. Soon,…-

When I woke up, it was pitch dark. The curtains were drawn, and the lights I had left on were all off. Only the ambient light from the mood lamp under the bed faintly glowed. When I wake up at dawn, my first thought is always the same: where am I today? Once I realize that, I decide whether to go back to sleep. I was in Rome with Han Jae-yi, and yesterday we kissed. I turned my head and saw Han Jae-yi sleeping, sound asleep after being awake for over 24 hours. His head was turned toward me and he was…-

I asked for a cigarette before heading up to the hotel. The combination of alcohol and nicotine made me dizzy. I leaned against the wall at an angle, and Han Jae-yi stared at me. "I haven't fed you much. I feel guilty every time you do this." I burst out laughing. "You're a little, you know, overprotective of me." "Really?" The look in his eyes turned to interest. He seemed to want to hear my assessment of him. "Eating, drinking. Every side dish. You want to interfere and control every…-

Time passed slowly. Until I prepared for the flight to Rome, I responded a beat late, as if I were someone under a spell. Two full days went by in reality, and on the morning I was to head to the airport, I replied to Han Jae-yi's message as follows: . The downside was that the layover was only one day. I would have a full day of rest before flying back to Korea the next afternoon. In that one day, it's doubtful that I'll be able to give him the answers he's looking for. I discussed the flight…-

The child was wearing pants that looked like they had been modified from leather trousers, with a large kangaroo pocket around the chest. I took out a bill from my wallet and handed it to the child. "Do you want to put this in your pocket?" "Yes." He took the money and tried to put it in his pocket. He didn't know how to fold it, so it crumpled and kept sticking out of his pocket. Careful to avoid touching the child as much as possible, I took the bill back, folded it into quarters, and put it in…-

Why did I feel compassion for Gisella Weber at that moment? I wanted to reach out and grab her by the shoulders. No, you don't have to feel that way. I wanted to tell her that if anyone should walk away from this messy relationship, it should be me. While I was still trying to figure out what to say, she was speaking out her prepared remarks. "I don't know if he thinks of you as more than a friend or not. You don't know either, and that's why we're doing this, so let's stop this charade. I can't get…-

On the day that Han Jae-yi was returning to Germany, I had a one-day layover in Hong Kong for my flight. The time we landed at Hong Kong International Airport was 4 PM. After resting for a full day, I would return to Incheon at 5 AM the next day. This schedule was practically an overnight flight. The co-pilot on the same route looked very young. I was more curious about how many times he had sat in the cockpit than the total flight time. He kept swallowing dry saliva and repeatedly checked the…-

Han Jae-yi left it at that and chewed his food. Meanwhile, I took a sip of the drink. It was tea with a hint of corn flavor. Setting aside the responsibility to eat a lot, I leaned back in my chair. It seemed I had succeeded in drawing out some of his inner thoughts. Showing a willingness to listen more, Han Jae-yi slowly passed the food and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then he spoke again. "I told you, friendship is the only thing that lasts. I thought it would be possible with you. You're…-
