The One Moon Chapter 7

Junghwan walked inside the building still wet from the goat blood. The blood got a little dry but was still kind of wet. The owner surprised at the sight of young children in blood told them to go away.

Junghwan then told him that the guy on his back lives here. “I’m with him, is there a shower I can use?”

The owner peaked at Moonhan. “OMO” Han ah! What happened to you! This young child, you still have rent to pay!”

“...”

“Is this how Moonhan is always treated?” He felt nauseous at the thought that the owner didn’t care about his situation but the money more.

Sigh… He stayed calm and asked the lady. “Where’s his room, I want to take a shower.” Junghwan forgot about the extra money he received to live in another dorm.

“Ah… Darling, this goshiwon doesn’t provide restrooms. Moonhan here uses the Chinese restaurant’s restroom next door to shower and clean himself.”

“They’re a nice bunch, aren’t they” she said quieter sounding sarcastic and mockingly.

“Then where is his room, I’ll grab some clothes and wake him up there.”

“Ok, it’s on the second floor. You’ll find it easily, there’s only one room up there. But I don’t have the key, Moonhan should have it.”

“Ah, I see. This place doesn’t keep extra keys.” What a place, he thought. No wonder, it is so cheap.

He climbed up the short stairwell to the second floor, trying to keep the younger asleep. He wanted Moonhan to sleep a little more before waking him up to take a shower.

Once he arrived, he shook Moonhan on his back.

“Hey, hey. Han, wake up, we are here.”

Moonhan woke up quite easily. Han surprised he fell asleep, got off his back apologized, and thanked Jung-hwan for the assist. Got out his keys and opened his door and was gonna collapse onto the bed but remembered he was dirty.

“Hey, lend me some clothes. Take a pair for yourself too. Let’s go take a shower. The restaurant closes in 10 minutes.”

Moonhan, surprised he knew that he takes showers at the restuarant, was about to ask but got interrupted.

“How-...”

“The owner told me.”

“Now hurry up, I want to shower.”

“Yes.” Han gave his cleanest shirt, pant, and underwear to Junghwan. Picked up a used pair for himself and walked towards the restaurant.

The restaurant couple owners were shocked but didn’t question anything as Moonhan smiled and said it was just an accident where goat blood was squirted on them at the butchers. The owners here were nice people. Junghwan noticed that and was glad that Moonhan had kind people on his side.

They cleaned up in separate showers. Junghwan assumed Moonhan was shy and that was why he showered in the other but in reality, Moonhan couldn’t show Junghwan his bruises and scars.

They finished and went back together. Junghwan still forgetting about the extra money stayed in at Moonhan’s small room for the night.
