In front of that consistent attitude, Yuwon’s heart softened. Why do you keep being nice…. Swallowing his frustration, Yuwon greeted Kim Unhak.a4846373844d3bd9

“Oh, I’m late. I had to go out early this morning, and I bought some food on the way back.”cf1af26764b7ef47

Kim Unhak shook a sandwich. It was filled with ham and cheese. Even though he had eaten, it looked delicious enough to make his mouth water, but he didn’t want to accept food they personally offered. When he showed signs of refusal, Kim Unhak wrinkled his nose and smiled as if he had no choice.458843b5be4664f6

Though it wasn’t something he usually enjoyed, the word “walk” sounded particularly welcoming, perhaps because he felt cooped up. Sensing Yuwon’s reaction, Kim Unhak smiled as if it was a good thing and briefly went into the dining hall before coming out.19bb3cb3e0039d27

They headed toward 56063e417b the path Yuwon d0b90f7b78 had looked down b7f2a45be3 on from the 39d7def814 window yesterday—the same 2a6c60782b path Kim Unhak f1082f2613 had walked with fc604687b0 Baek Jeshin and a9d58de301 the man.f2f4e8ba501abed7

He hadn’t noticed de01ed1394 from above, but 3227f51108 from the ground, eba3ce7b21 the scenery was 1eba668da0 beautiful. Despite being an 3defb726fe abandoned village, it 8f07009667 seemed they had 04d1c0f039 deliberately cleared a 1331c55d01 path, with tree 719c99d573 trunks stretching out 052bb31489 like a tunnel.

The sweet ice 75c024176f cream moistened his f49758551d tongue, and the 614b7cc588 cool forest air 27b592a4f1 cleared his head. It was the 07a5782979 kind of weather b1af43d75b that naturally lifted 73fd90b6a9 the spirit. Yuwon felt his tension 5a09ddab75 ease as he walked bcdba8d4b8 slowly.91092e6aa3cf4b5f

Kim Unhak, who a2e9818163 had finished his 887c9be88d cone in three 3ad0c2df6d bites, walked in c9015cb88d silence, mindful of 70c51ed724 Yuwon.

The sincerity 1acc0a34fd in his e457697ba6 kindness made 180fc19958 him feel e705059621 both grateful 05b0ab3f8d and queasy. Unable to dfd12fef2c respond, he 7c3c94857c just lowered deda7c1830 his head.e96e0eb758a93a8b

Kim Unhak’s kindness 65021f5303 could only be 0ab29114c6 hypocrisy.

It was an undeniable fact that he couldn’t escape San immediately. So if he had to be held here, it was right to keep himself healthy.
