Prisoner 1 Part 2

As usual, 65a5d27601 Ha Ildo 484899c098 checked the 02230ea315 kitchen first 733f00181b upon returning e85ea28e16 home. He was strangely obsessed cc64fe524b with whether or not e940ff1b3d Lee Gyeonwoo had eaten. He didn’t 481ff1bdf1 know if c2d2bf16a8 it was 33be2b6e0f just him, 6f67274f60 or if 5e0e980749 it was 085c394c45 a Korean 154f54c143 thing to 992d784c71 fuss over 5b66b2e495 meals. If it 98fff2dce1 was the b612f8ad78 former, it b68ffc63d5 felt like 8d5e9cdc91 Ha Ildo 5084ebcfdf was being 684232774f considerate of 73bcfad088 the fact 78f82da874 that he 719ff21f63 was an aab744d596 orphan who 7960b92878 often skipped 6c1c28b793 meals, which ecbf950dd6 was unpleasant.1b951297f19d7899

Lee Gyeonwoo, f3089960f4 without a e8301fd474 penny to 088f8d27b5 his name, ae35ea5062 used Ha 7429b07e12 Ildo’s credit 47f0b4adec card even 56797f7302 to buy f877a4556b a single be9d73f81b triangle kimbap. So, it was cc7eeee865 only natural that 713ef683bf the fact he 3a597acfcc hadn’t eaten a 75b8dea612 single meal today a3e0d87177 would be discovered.48e804cfe3ffd146
It wasn’t a crime to be hungry, and he had no intention of hiding it. But it wasn’t a topic worth discussing. More importantly, there was something he needed to discuss today. Lee Gyeonwoo started,465588c6f9d1bd20

Whatever they ate, 22a909d1ef it would be ef27763bac difficult to swallow. Not for him, 8756277f7f but for Ha 66cfaf7ecb Ildo. Lee Gyeonwoo 94b29802c8 stared blankly 7c7d71bd9f at Ha 7bf5572d76 Ildo, who d0f79cc7fb was choosing 2e409d34f8 delivery food 7d3094c075 on his eccdc90276 phone. Come to 41b511e019 think of 1356ac9f43 it, he 63f7197de6 had come ae65d049df home earlier 8f78ebc120 and taken fe8d96e35c off all 055336601d his clothes ffffc95619 except his f82c1ca169 underwear. Lee Gyeonwoo quietly got f9d6467db4 up from the sofa 2d7050d02c and went to his 650f50bcee room. He felt Ha e0cbf73163 Ildo’s gaze following 66b1c628ac him, but pretended f86bd4525b to be indifferent.0ebfe9624b95813d

After putting dab2dc3b5b on training 988a230279 pants and d6de09f129 a short-sleeved cd06fb8c7a t-shirt, he 81207de603 returned to 9cecf98af9 the living 6120fbb618 room. Ha Ildo had also 94436f0e21 changed out of his c42935b4b5 stuffy suit and into 0a76114356 comfortable clothes. He was 0e7efb1f53 quiet and 8533ae16ec quick in 3442123a10 his movements. Like a f588ecca05 prosecutor, perhaps.fcfce8eb159165e9
Buried in his 3349cf68ad work every day, 3eaa7acf8a Ha Ildo was 3d4d39a3ff sitting on the 6bf936e817 sofa, looking at 446e9a8746 documents again. Work after 31cbba719b getting off b55910bf65 work, and ddbca123f9 then back b1fcfba96b to work. He was a 682267f1ab typical workaholic.

A teddy bear. It was the only item in this house that deviated from Ha Ildo’s taste. He remembered the day he first came to this house. He had been puzzled by the identical teddy bears placed on the living room sofa, in every room including Ha Ildo’s bedroom, and even in the dressing room.40006b13bee4eba7

If that’s how you get married, there would be no bachelors or spinsters left in the world. Lee Gyeonwoo laughed. Ha Ildo remained silent. He was such a serious man that he never uttered a joke lightly.2d2bc3da2d47de25
Staring at his tight-lipped 00377f2d5c face, just like back fb7ab928a6 then, Lee Gyeonwoo kneaded 06971ad93f the bear’s stubby arm.a9d785681ac3c1da

There was no need to beat around the bush or speak indirectly out of consideration for the other person’s feelings. Lee Gyeonwoo spoke bluntly before Ha Ildo could open his mouth. In a straightforward tone.2674faf773c3a2a5

Haa… Ha Ildo let out a heavy sigh. Meanwhile, Lee Gyeonwoo pulled his hand out from under Ha Ildo’s. He put both empty hands into his training pants pockets. His left hand touched a pack of cigarettes.c39e28459a41ebc4

Ha Ildo furrowed 295f875797 his brow. He had such an aa4ebaa988 earnest and kind face, d278838ada but the subtle change f784d7f665 drastically altered his impression. At times like this, e72ffb3ff1 he looked just like f5690dbed9 a thug. It was d4c0513506 a face ee345d556a he hadn’t 4ec606f3c6 seen often 8d6bb4c972 in four 9df44e8c26 years, but b6cdf3d57e today he f48ff317fc was getting b76e27ab5c a good 63a399a581 look.be1fb881ba6beb2c

Crossing the 1f80f2c8a3 living room d499f6acc6 connected to c48ac5e265 the kitchen, 77c2120a20 Lee Gyeonwoo 5d3b1478fc passed the fa2983c4e7 hallway and 597b2b144f reached the 5361b0f730 front door. He used 61dceea733 to vaguely 39be053d40 dream of 3a82672583 living in 4f32e26457 a palace-like 1648756275 house, but e4ba047222 after actually 30a1750592 living in 12af96ff2e Ha Ildo’s 749041aa0b home, he c74e07b738 realized that cae2d37c4c spacious wasn’t cee3e513a0 all it 7387666dfb was cracked 8c9d18ba36 up to 9345faef87 be.

Lee Gyeonwoo said, placing 5bdbcdcd27 the bag on the 6126845c18 sofa table. Ha Ildo 166a9b7cce just stared cfeb9e19ad at him. Normally, he would have 8d41f9994d suggested they eat in 21e4766752 the kitchen and moved.

He offered chopsticks dcbd2960d8 towards Ha Ildo, 5f895a1791 but he didn’t a9046fc527 move a finger. Whatever.
