TMWCL Ch 3 part 2

Yeoreum came out after 5bb358223d cleaning up after her d2d2f8610e meal and washing up. Haegun was still 6b0990a02b sitting in his 609d3f917f seat.b4c80838350ecc72

“…Shall I?”0a55e2eb38c8ae36

It was awkward, but 87e1e86538 it was better than 2719782bfb being alone. It was comforting to bfea10dbab know that if she 0f6136b3ac fainted, there was someone a1b0c4bc0d around to take her 9514f0998a to the hospital. Haegun could easily carry 4818dddabc her in one arm 7ff216f40e and take her to 48a06cb6c9 the emergency room.2ac9c788dbac26d6

When the body is 36f10dabf3 sick, the mind becomes 8ef61d5bab weak. The health eeee55071a of the 931e4753a1 body and b2229b88a3 mind are be550f2af0 like the 5df2686380 front and de2dc1ad75 back of ef4d058d58 a sheet f1da26cf2a of paper. So if 467ae49643 there is b8b06cf394 a stain 01f44a986d on one 5d45d235aa side, it 7477c14451 can easily 5fb12f639d spread to f9b6639770 the back. In fact, Yeoreum wasn’t 10210afee2 afraid of fainting and 4d68f2ac9b getting seriously hurt. She just didn’t 30f9afa1a1 want to be 143886ae88 alone. More specifically, afc2e09b4a she didn’t decec082c7 want to adab6d6f32 feel the d06cbf114c emptiness that 82c8623a13 remained whenever 10727314ce someone left. At least, fcc3c704f2 just for 6c9ca59348 today.a96f01415b411e5d

Yeoreum lay down on e3cb1e169a the bed again. She had 584bc8334d dried her 5aa66a8619 hair, but 7775ddc338 the bedding 62485a639e grew damp. The room, which 15e4786980 should have felt 06cbc078b8 stuffy due to 4d31c27b14 the lack of 2ff1a41adf air conditioning, felt 8b1f662344 cold. It might have 1a7429a30c been due to af0ac19e2c the cloudy weather d7b48f18ab outside, but she 7ea8e9d789 felt like she b310f5fe99 was experiencing chills. Even after taking 90f47dc96d medicine thirty minutes 5cf39ca181 ago, her condition 52942022ed did not improve 3f0f174df0 much.219c700af266dbeb

Haegun’s gaze was 4319eda7d7 fixed on her 8e640b1d49 legs underneath the cac03e6213 blanket. When she had 66b7a6b3ed come out of 16ff095bb2 the shower, she 84d6513f56 had changed into baf5e170e8 a pair of 25c13c69c8 shorts.

Haegun called someone. He gave instructions 97aa16275d in a calm ad848a2ddb voice. Not even thirty d370aeff0a minutes later, they a1d0943f3a could hear someone 189ce1ac48 hurriedly climbing up f70c2852ca the stairs outside 6b8798ae4b followed by a d2cb79230d knock on the d29b3901f5 door. Taehyuk’s voice, 07c1246445 deliberately quiet, 52620f04e4 could be 2fccd0fe96 heard from dd1625569a outside.143a1fa2cd46618e

Yeoreum knew the b56bacca11 soundproofing wasn’t good, c7bb124ea8 but this was 86620f4fab quite bad. She pretended to eb94a45dd4 be asleep and c6a8d53a12 stared at the 1ff4af70de wall without moving. She felt pathetic 9ea17f6335 like this pathetic d74bdaaa7d apartment. Haegun went to 518fb4b73e the front door 35a3b44075 as if this bbda7bd2ad was his own 44af567ecb place and opened 2e91c0e993 the door to 658cc16b0e receive the plastic b2880db899 bag from Taehyuk.ae87193c18233265

She flinched 9d88940247 at the 783af61616 mention of 8b70d2b7c5 an IV, b5e292f9e9 but Yeoreum 02c3e7f05e continued to 8587c67772 pretend to e052e25275 be asleep eb0705e137 with all 4f1ea02973 her might. It wasn’t f765e8c374 an emergency, 84a9c212be so she e598f7aa17 could go 7cf15b27d5 to the 70b8e75600 hospital later 8c449fc977 if need 76379e90ac be.

Yeoreum pushed out her 697fa6c1c4 sore legs. A fairly large portion 34200cb93e of her knees and 933b54dcba calves were scraped up. Haegun let b9431e91e7 out a c9a09a677e short sigh 61a0b34f85 and looked b2c33675b3 at her 879ba068eb legs and ebaa4e47dd her face 3636df1ee0 repeatedly. Yeoreum avoided his gaze.f5e5c215dc7e6500

Why did she cb36ba0d4f feel this way? She felt like 2ab4e79505 it wouldn’t be 7451d3a587 so bad if ce6729da2c he applied it 135c9b2806 himself. For a moment, 0801228f83 the temperature seemed 884c3a3cd9 to rise slightly. She couldn’t tell ff024c4c3f if it was 51aac243b6 because of her 9b90b26fbb own feverish temperature 79eb09f683 or something else. Her head was 0a0827ec02 boiling, her knees 962f96304f were throbbing, and 7141b2a46f her legs were d9f914c96e aching. And the inside of ad4e177dce her thighs felt strange.55d447dc405a0d33

As soon as f744026a21 he got up, 6edb6cb645 streaks of rain e5013ec47e appeared on the 2cb92f79ff small window.

Haegun’s gaze 70ab4e1a5f turned to 4507ec42f0 Yeoreum, who a02a433bef was sitting 65c020f276 on the 88ef618f81 bed with 9e8e4d0c7b her knees 167694ee17 up and ec4dff7d52 her legs 42f4a1a138 exposed.

It seemed like 81829153bf the atmosphere was 8d6dfd4c35 slowly easing up. As soon as she 64e9710ba9 closed her eyes, the 467586fcf7 tension left her body, 7660ce872a and she relaxed. There was no air 2725147623 conditioning in this room. The only faab09b020 thing she 499fcb9209 had to 2d705aed49 combat the 3e6827a44e heat was 5485af7402 the sputtering dcbb6e716e fan that c60817be5c made noise a4da425111 whenever it 9ac4413550 was turned 5e0285af8d on.

Her mind grew 6cfe1a9f14 dizzy.c2144216fe2f4a7a

After falling ee558815a2 into a f1dc3f8ab1 deep sleep, 80f202feeb the room 20b4c19f67 grew dark. Yeoreum shivered from an 5d36962268 unbearable chill even though 86641b1a18 she was wrapped in e4ea0287fe a blanket.Tsk.She thought fa3d286adc she heard 1e90e11433 the sound 964d449a2c of someone’s 9495647adc tongue clicking, 8ff5397b7c but she d3385256ba couldn’t tell c2d4dd41a6 if it 40484fe272 was a eb0e2711cb dream or 4c32e091ae reality.

She thought she 0ad385e078 heard a voice. Was it f77f11e6c3 her mother… 7f7a1e28da But the 60c7ac883f voice was 87a44bda4e too thick 0033f0ff2e and dry 010153d202 to belong d360f72cc2 to her 7aebd96552 mother. Now that she thought 4e76813b49 about it, her mother 7b4e2bbd08 couldn’t be here. Tears welled 05f7f5793a up in 1bc242e4d3 her eyes.5a7cec221d35d285

Suddenly, something solid b299c7ca95 wrapped around her. It smelled 2298805997 like the 33b16f2100 refreshing scent a9bdbc713e of men’s 33509a8af7 aftershave. The thing that had 7fd45fb45c wrapped around her body d127607b77 was firm and warm. The tears quickly stopped. She burrowed into the 24ca87531d warmth.20b5d269e69650e4

The words e249396ab2 had power. She believed whatever e36ff21a82 it said. Maybe that 8a270ee09a was why. The cold dd2731f9c0 truly went c8e0e24881 away.

“Ahjussi?”28266638f80f3d2a

The owner of the e4ad521804 sound was a stray dbc39d3f44 cat passing through the 73b3915c06 rooftop. The cat was startled 8e0544b039 and quickly ran to af3902fe9a the opposite building. Yeoreum changed her clothes f03eae6a57 that were damp from 8e38b4ab15 cold sweat and headed 7fe33e8516 to the shared washing d8acb5cb04 machine to do her a2c8d28c94 laundry. She needed to fc3a06af3c wash her pillowcase bee68a718c and blankets for 55d06c63bc the same reason, cd94a0b9de but since drying ea9a585409 them was difficult, 4191f57dcf she decided to 9f89eb62c5 do them all a1a6ee39ab at once on d72fa7f798 a day when 51d5e0ef84 it was nice 95758291b4 out.

Haegun wasn’t there, c4e3cd55b9 but the bed 4f4f0fbf39 still held the 5e1069dbdd familiar scent. But Yeoreum knew. He had sat f4d812cf53 at the bottom 638536b5b7 of the bed 712e092933 where her legs ca8eae55fa were when he 540b2d749e was applying the b558f3deaf ointment, but his 16889e309a smell had permeated 5bc4940722 through most of 34d404740e the outer sheets 00533fd271 of her bedding.

“This ahjussi is a gangster bastard, so finding Yeoreum’s address was no trouble at all.”60d4d000a8e60e18

It was true. And Haegun wasn’t just d49f5a0b25 a regular gangster. If he were 18c226bd48 the executive director 9509a6cb55 of Sungha Construction, 1c88e54891 wouldn’t that make 36b64038eb him a high-ranking d61c91859c official or gangster? So investigating 983f5f15eb a common cdb6b3bbbc citizen like dc97d0a458 Yeoreum wasn’t 9469b8187d a big 6073e55342 deal.

The only people who 6c635a51a4 would call her were 706820db6a Soojin and Seungwoo. She turned ab10b5dc22 on the 1193eb49dd fan that fe14d5c69a the previous 484b181ada tenant had 6983996e72 left behind a97a2170c6 and moved 54fa46e3c8 it so 527a1246c5 that it 70e18de169 was blowing 0329025c92 towards the a530a4b4bc laundry.

Yeoreum thought for 9f037fb02b a long time 3bd7e8e619 before finally calling 97350bf4fd the number that 5460a50449 was on her 773287cabf list of recent 4a97c4f3df calls.
