YO goes from surprised, to speechless, to looking dejected as he mulls over JH's invitation. Despite JH's annoyingly handsome face looking at him in earnest, YO declines by thanking JH for the day and tells him to drive home safe. JH looks on as YO exits the car.
***
Word on the Haekang Group has spread like wildfire as it follows YO from work to his way home. JH seems to be having things going his way as the chairman is expected to get served with an arrest warrant and the company be subjected to search and seizure. Still, it's a lot of things on his plate and YO recalls JH's request to stay out for a bit longer. He now feels regretful for turning him down.
***
It's meeting 2/3 and YO finds himself in an empty hall. He looks around, clueless as to why JH picked the place. JH, having arrived first, approaches YO and ushers him into the theater. YO peeks at JH after they take their seat. Shortly before going in, JH gave him a tentative squeeze on the shoulder then walked ahead, leaving YO behind to follow him.
The theater, too, is devoid of people, save both of them and the performers on stage. YO prompts JH for an explanation, who says it's so YO can watch the play he regretfully missed. YO flushes at JH's words.
YO has his eyes glued on the stage as the play progresses, and JH has his on YO. He has the expression of someone who's done something right. And why's he in yet another black turtleneck....
***
As they exit the theater, JH gives YO a penny for his thoughts (on the play), to which he responds that it went beyond his expectations. YO says he didn't think JH would remember him expressing interest on it. JH says that he does. He remembers the things that YO has said.
YO thanks JH for taking the time despite being very busy. JH remarks YO's desire to learn more about acting and how he seems to be taking pleasure in the craft. YO credits JH's sponsorship in pushing him. All too aware of how YO's been working hard, JH says things would've worked out for YO anyway (he does take credit for expediting things for YO, though). YO, once again, flushes over JH's words.
Now used to being queried on his eating habits, it has taken YO's notice that JH hadn't this time, so, YO throws JH's usual question his way and appends an invitation to dinner, stunning JH.
***
No dinner scene, but author gives us a glimpse of where they went after. That is, if they actually bothered to have dinner. Having said he's not dropping by the apartment anymore, I'm assuming they spent the night at JH's.
YO is lying flat on his tummy, his eyes closed (probably still asleep), and JH finally gets to do that thing he wasn't permitted to in a long while: run his fingers through YO's hair. YO rouses at the touch and turns to JH, who must have slept next to him. Where YO has his shirt on, JH appears to be naked.
-end-
Is YO opening up to JH? JH seems to be permitting himself to touch YO now. He didn't before because YO was always retreating or recoiling. Plus, YO is blushing again. He hasn't since they parted ways. And did they fuck? We can only surmise. There better not be a surprise hiatus next week!! If things go as planned, we'd get #76 and then the dreaded hiatus (Korean only) on December 1.
Also, YO's foot looks like a kid's next to JH's. Hahahahahaha.....
Spoilers for #74: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/14762314/
