Black Butterfly, Where Does the Black Butterfly Go Drink Water - Chapter 25

검은나비, 검은나비는 어디가서 물을 마실까 Section 23.1 (UNEDITED)

“……Jude.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t you have anything to cook at home?”

“Yes, I don’t.”

“……do you live on beer?”The first time he set foot in Jude’s old apartment; it was the scene before his eyes that made Tim’s brain exploded before he could feel any appreciation. The clothes that were thrown away here and there, the fluorescent lights that flickered like the morgue lights, and most of all, the unbearable thing was the table with the beer cans lying here and there and on the cabinet. Whether or not he noticed that Tim’s face was slightly stiffened, Jude answered, throwing the room key roughly onto the table.

“No, I eat peanuts, too.”

“…..let’s go grocery shopping tomorrow when we come back.”

“No, Tim. Two men get misunderstood when they go grocery shopping.”Giggling, Jude flopped down on the sofa. Avoiding clothes and newspapers on the floor, Tim walked to the side of the refrigerator and opened the door, but then stopped talking for a while.

“Are you a beer addict?”

“It’s a meal substitute. Good for late-night movies. It’s okay, I drink once a day.”

“……what’s ice cream in the freezer?”

“Oh, I think I bought it a year and a half ago, but I don’t know if it’s still edible.”

The voice sounded calm, but faintly perplexed. At the same time as Tim thought, who could it be? – Jeffrey’s stark voice came into his head.

– There’s a possibility that he won’t tell you even if Alvin contacted him, so please keep an eye on him.

– Please keep an eye on him.

The back of his head has been aching faintly. Looking at the side view of his partner holding the phone, Tim picked up the can of beer that began to shed water vapor and gulp it down.
