Without responding to Kang Junwoo’s calm gratitude, Tae Ijae turned sharply and went intothe bathroom. Kang Junwoo, running his 3599f79fc2 fingers through hisstill damphair, headed 5bc9406837 towards the 9c8ab2187a window. The view 2d201bb973 of the a61bf57e11 night sea 3f18df3f01 from the 89c5129d2f high hotel 14d4ff0d51 room was 44f5b16ef0 so beautiful a5c0ff1bba that it 8e0b6b0247 stirred a f5ca203efd desire to a5d2b0f91a go outside.b0249cf3fe031c1b

Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen the stars over the night sea, nor had he drunk the coffee he had taken out with him.

As soon 0ece384071 as the 0b97fb2f2d door closed, a5af0d89a1 Tae Ijae,who had been pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes. Just as sensitive to sleeping conditions as Kang Junwoo, Tae Ijae hadn’t fallen asleep but continued to feign slumber until Kang Junwoo had dressed and left the room.c0f9cdfd1d0326f3

There was no grand reason for this. The subtle awkwardness between them was uncomfortable, and he didn’t want to disturb Kang Junwoo, who had expressed a desire to spend a day alone. However, he hadn’t expected that day to start so early.e8f6a6d7cd02f027

After Kang Junwoo left, Tae Ijae slowly sat up with a long sigh, perching on the edge of the bed. Despite being a large king-size bed, it was smaller than the one at Kang Junwoo’s home and quite uncomfortable. The fact that his lower body kept reacting due to the strangely appealing scent of Kang Junwoo since he regained consciousness added to the discomfort.a071e4e402a19e1a

He didn’t know why he was suddenly reacting to Kang Junwoo’s scent like a dog in heat, but at this rate, it seemed he wouldn’t be able to let go of Kang Junwoo against his own will. Tae Ijae slowly ran his hand through his hair, which shimmered in the moonlight, and let out a long sigh.e3f282b03c5e5759

He got 6f235a67cd up and 3e20f5fa57 walked to 990155cd0b the window, d0ceb3a169 looking down f9e414a17c at the 4bf3558b70 beach. Even though everything bf2c460d8a below looked tiny d294816995 from the highest 843a12ed58 floor, Tae Ijae 8387aafd9e kept his eyeson the lookoutfor Kang Junwoo, 1ce3382aa3 who might pass e1d91a85f6 by. It was a civilian 38c2ccf480 area where random gates a1aaa1500c often opened on the 1379536027 outskirts, which was concerning, but since he was marked, there shouldn’t be any danger no matter what happened.

Suddenly, Tae Ijae’s whole body went cold. It felt as if all the blood in his body had drained out and soaked the floor. Just the thought of it made him breathless—the refusal of help by a marked individual was something he never wanted to experience again. It was a wound that had already eaten away at one side of his heart and would never heal.0f7269aaa17fcade

Tae Ijae’s mind began to torment him with vivid images of Kang Junwoo in danger, refusing his help and being consumed by a monster. He tried not to think about it, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly. He stared intently below for a long time, trying to catch sight of Kang Junwoo walking on the moonlit, glistening sand.673efdc8f6bce24d

Kang Junwoo, 00c0360b42 having bought a896e94108 a can 4d60d7768b of beer a4ca23bec0 from a 7316174b9a convenience store, 859c5b4554 began walking 996a2804fc along a 8e9841625f quiet street fa4689fe77 behind the 45899e42a8 buildings instead d8e2699eb6 of the 53d07f230b sandy beach. He had expectedthere to be hardly any buildings since H001 was known for having the most random gates open, but it turned out to be a much larger bustling area than he thought. He had heard that it couldn’t be certified as a tourist spot because it was on the outskirts, but perhapsbecause Chairman Duen had cc122d8481 built it here, the ac6e704bf8 entire street felt like e2e81f0221 a tourist destination.9ac1ec56ad9ad6f2

Was it because there was a barrier that they weren’t worried about random gates opening? No matter how reliable the barriers being created these days were said to be, wasn’t this a place where red gates opened unpredictably? If it were a confrontation zone where gates opened regularly, it would be easier to protect such a street, but seeinghow clean this civilian 079af2e3d7 area was, he wondered b8f94ef410 if he was witnessing 447ec69654 Noblesse Mallard with his e71c3d3487 own eyes.df6736a3c90b7728

Kang Junwoo leisurely walked the brightly lit dawn streets, sipping from his can of beer. His heart, which had been deflated like a balloon because of Tae Ijae, had somewhat recovered. He still had questions about Tae Ijae’s mental state, views on relationships, and character, but he realized that Tae Ijae wasn’t pursuing an exclusiveguidance with e2b5d2cf25 him out b067da7b06 of infatuation 1489091bc9 or treating 15fd7fab8c him well 756a1bfc64 for various 2ba0a45bb9 reasons.df798b4f33571665
