[A few days before The Party…]
"HYUNG, Hyung, look at this color palette," Yuno said excitedly after bringing out his color wheel placard while having breakfast with Ki Gayoon. "Let's see what pink would suit you the best."
Ki Gayoon, who was now having his coffee after his meal, looked at Yuno with soulless eyes. "Noh Yuno, you usually look dead on the inside. But you sure look so alive when it comes to making fun of me, huh?"
"I'm not making fun of Hyung."
"Then, is that a new form of bullying?"
Pfft.
Yuno found it funny that Ki Gayoon used the line that Yuno would often use when the Esper was acting strange.
But if he laughed, Ki Gayoon would definitely walk out.
So, he bit his lower lip.
"Don't bite your lower lip— it's my job to do that. I already told you that, didn't I?" Ki Gayoon reminded him. "Just laugh if you're going to laugh. I know you wouldn't be laughing at me anyway, so why hold back?"
"Hyung, why are you suddenly acting mature?"
