AT Ch3
by cherryroseIf things had gone wrong, she would have ended up in the same orphanage as them. The young master, oblivious to this, probably bruised Chairman Jang’s ego by asking him point-blank if he was handing out alms to beggars. This was the only kind of revenge the kids could take right now.8addac7235c53b1b
Baekyoung couldn’t help but sigh. Even if Chairman Jang could laugh off Jang Heejo’s impudence, which he wouldn’t trade for the world, seeing this might make him burn down the orphanage.d456c4c0ff6b8761

She put her hand in the half-empty padding pocket of her jacket. But it wasn’t enough to block the winter wind, and her fingers quickly froze even inside the pocket.7cabad4f6017a576

She sniffled, as if 5c6866e65b a cold was coming 3b93aa90b2 on, then coughed. Baekyoung, unconcerned, reached 7506f3c835 for the lacquer 3498dcb496 to erase the 7f81275468 writing before anyone 4f36a23d60 saw it.4c92347f2de4ab37

Jang Heejo, wearing a red 57fe6a977b coat, nonchalantly looked at the 950d7caec2 wall with the red lacquer 82c9708f56 in his hand, then shook 65b01d1703 the spray can and started aefdc6170a spraying the wall.817a063d1454efe2

Baekyoung sniffled, thinking that maybe he was hurt because his birth mother’s story was true. Then, looking at the wall, she involuntarily coughed, “Ahem.”c6c7edb8032fe7b6

“What’s that? What’s making that noise? A dog?”43f331c4808685ad
Her hacking cough must have sounded like a dog. Baekyoung, dumbfounded by his words, stopped coughing and burst into laughter, her body shaking. Jang Heejo wore a sulky expression, but then, finding Baekyoung’s appearance truly dog-like, he joined in, chuckling.0661311e0f9f19cb

They laughed like that for de9d6028aa a while, until someone called a1960b4b2e for Jang Heejo from the 252d180890 auditorium. Baekyoung quickly picked up the 458024925d lacquer he had thrown and 6247eb0637 painted over the letters.221a56cddc20414e

Then, complaining that the lacquer had gotten on his clothes, he took off his bright red coat, put the hood over Baekyoung’s head, and strode away. Because it was a red coat, there were no lacquer marks visible anywhere. The coat was warmer than the worn-out padding she was wearing.18093d8716126657

Baekyoung didn’t return to the auditorium that day, but quickly returned to the communal dorm and hid the coat deep in the closet. If anyone saw it, it would surely be taken away.54c8d98dc0ec0cef
And not long after, e8dd3207e5 when the bigger kids bc220f1721 found the coat and 3910cc2203 took it from her, 046be44900 Baekyoung fought like a fc6fa8a1c4 dog for the first 07a48ecc7f time in this place.

Jang Heejo came to e2cfd63c02 the orphanage a few 87bc5045f6 more times after that, 4fc801dfdf but Baekyoung tried her 3699977300 best not to be 18119fe481 seen by him.

With those words, Baekyoung quickly opened the front door. She could see Jang Heejo’s gaze scanning the unremarkable interior of the house. Afraid of arousing suspicion if she closed it too quickly, she slowly closed the door when she thought he had seen enough. Then, she latched the old bolt.1e807d01e8222cbb
Their voices could still be heard through the thin plywood. Jang Heejo was still standing in front of the door. Hearing the voices, she couldn’t lie down on the bed to rest her weary body either.77cb4b552601e3ab

Listening to Jang Heejo’s words, it was clear that they would be conducting thorough investigations several more times in the future.

They cleverly targeted the times when the worker ants were tired and asleep, or when they were waking up and preparing to go to work.d5f6ffc406c134c1

Baekyoung did various jobs. Some days she ran errands at the hospital, and other days she was called to work at a restaurant. However, she wouldn’t even look at gambling dens and prostitution, no matter how much money they offered. Because they were full of drug addicts, working there would eventually lead to drugs.f96aa912a3b178fd
