Cha Junshik felt something was really wrong with Alpheus, who was unresponsive. He just nodded and said nothing. It contrasted with the usual Alphie, who would probably argue with him again at this point.
"Is something wrong?" Cha Junshik asked for the second time.
"No, Sir…"
Cha Junshik sighed. He didn't know that Alphie would be this upset just because he didn't say he had a boyfriend on the bus.
'Besides, we're not even lovers. There's no need for me to claim that I have a boyfriend when Alphie is not mine,' Cha Junshik thought.
'No matter how often he claims that we're mates, there's no way I'm going to be convinced, and I don't want to ruin his life just for sex.'
"Fine, if that's what you want," Cha Junshik dropped Alphie on the wooden floor and dragged the big grocery back to the kitchen.
