Telling Old Tales
Coffee BreakThe receiving room was a total mess. Empty cans of beers scattered on the floor along with some crumbs that had managed to escape when Himchan poured all of the remaining chips in his mouth. The ice cubes that had melted hours ago made pools and rivers everywhere.
Youngjae fanned himself with his shirt. He was holding the hem of it and was flipping it strenuously upwards again and again to create some air. He was too dizzy and lazy to get up and get a fan. But the bigger reason is that, he didn’t want to miss the chance to get some juicy information from his best friend. He glanced at Himchan across him. The guy was trying hard to keep his eyes open. His face was as red as the shirt he was wearing.
“Himchan-ah. Are you okay?”
Himchan perked up his head and nodded sluggishly, “Of course I’m okay. You punk, you think I’m drunk or something?”
Himchan was dead drunk. It was Youngjae’s go signal so he went and asked, “Why was Yongguk hyung here earlier?”

Never ever get attracted to that kind of man. This is a piece of advice from your friend Youngjae-ah.”
Youngjae let go of his shirt and inched forward. It was getting more interesting. He usually doesn’t give a damn about rumors and chit chats but this was his sunbae and best friend’s past they were talking about. “Why? Did he do something wrong?”
Himchan lifted a side of his lips. “Something wrong you say?! That bastard pretended to be a good guy but when he had finally got what he wanted, he acted like he doesn’t know me. What a .” He placed his hand on top of Youngjae’s shoulder. “Do you want to know more?” Himchan was grinning.
Youngjae was pretty sure that the next confession wouldn’t be suitable for young audiences but he didn’t want to be kept hanging. “Ah…Sure.”
“We had .” Himchan’s grin turned into a dry laugh. “It was my first time then. He was damn so good at it. Last time you asked me if his skin was tanned even under his clothes right?”
Youngjae nodded.
“My answer to that is---I don’t know.” He laughed again. “Maybe the I had with him was so good that I forgot everything else.”
Youngjae gulped. He can’t even start to imagine that his senior at w
