#20.2 Spell

Viole knew what to expect, but witnessing it was a different story.

Hyung's eyes were swollen, undoubtedly from crying. Viole thought it was quite bizarre, to see that familiar look without a mirror.

"Uh, are you okay?" Mr. Gyetang asked. "You don't look so good, cluck."

"I haven't bathed yet, maybe that's why." Hyung tried to act nonchalant by forcing a laugh and casually rubbing his neck, but it fooled no one. He quickly dropped the act and looked down, eyes clouded with sadness. "I will be fine...I think."

Gyetang made a small noise of affirmation, although doubtful.

Hyung walked up to Viole and smiled to acknowledge him. It was a real smile this time, yet it still didn't reach his eyes. "I suppose Hwaryun told you where to find me?"

A pitiful sound escaped Viole's mouth, realizing too late that his voice was stuck in his throat from nervousness. He quickly shut his lips and nodded.

"I see." Hyung looked thoughtful, the corner of his lips pulled down in displeasure. "I definitely told her that I'd be out of commission today."

Viole quickly shook his head, noticing that Hyung had come to a wrong conclusion. After all, he came here of his own volition.

Hyung raised his eyebrow, frown smoothed out to a polite curiosity. "What is it, Bam?"

Viole bit his lip. How could he tell Hyung that he was here to make sure he was okay? To keep him company, like Hyung did to him yesterday. There was one thing that Viole had in mind, one that Rachel did to comfort him on the days when he was sad. But he was afraid that Hyung wouldn't get the intention, and it would be hard to explain if Hyung were to ask.

It was worth a try though, he could just hug him afterward if Hyung didn't understand. Viole cupped the air in front of Hyung's chest as if he was catching Hyung's sorrow in his palm, then he threw his fists away. As he did so, there was a glimmer in Hyung's eyes.

"The spell to banish sadness?" Hyung chuckled lightly. His expression turned nostalgic, "I haven't seen that in a long time."

Viole felt immense relief at Hyung's recognition, and was very pleased when Hyung placed his palm on Viole's head.

"Thank you," Hyung smiled fondly at him, and it was finally a smile that Viole was familiar with. "I feel a lot better now."
