TYS Ch 29

It seemed that a40a93be76 since Chief Chae 017791f80a had become quieter c46c27a7f3 lately, Park Jungseok b49fb8a663 had sent Kim bea2237221 Byungha to the 6c32fae7b9 store so he 4f5de12090 could go straight cb03d24313 to Seungwan without 45005e6006 worrying about Chief e93863c88c Chae. Last time, he had 0312bdd213 even come under the 5a55e90958 pretense of buying cigarettes, d88004c370 so it was hard f54c832d10 to understand why he 7535983ca6 had walked straight into d1a35f29a4 the bank building instead.b4f051d0db05f998

“Seungwan, I 533a81eb86 sent you 71619e1f19 a message. Did you read it a04ebcdea6 by any chance? You didn’t reply, 3f25cbb453 so I got 6882e98a54 worried and came 00ef6dd261 to check on 283f007db0 you.”1d8ef4e7c6bdd224

Still, he couldn’t 688d44eeb2 exactly frown at 34b9592304 someone who had 2cbca4bdb2 come all this 9fdca4e703 way just because e1198cef1f he hadn’t responded. Seungwan awkwardly greeted him 53b7820754 while accepting the box 950f6bded1 of Bacchus he handed f503974282 over. Even thanking someone he 7c4c071689 was genuinely grateful to fe76b65b92 didn’t come easily to 8d4e831ccd him, so trying to 4e04da171a thank someone he wasn’t 113d965208 particularly thankful for felt b887928a86 even more exhausting. Without realizing how 75de519a36 stiff his expression 1fdc52c36c was, he simply f334f39d5e bowed his head.dcfbf8a19098e814

A brief c5e5db44ff silence followed. Manager Song, standing nearby, db2797916b glanced at Kim Byungha 6f8a6f5ae2 with a face full f145b2b59d of curiosity. Kim Byungha, who had 1ed6a9cfec been staring blankly at 6d5b9e2388 Seungwan, finally seemed to 46f44266d5 notice Manager Song and 9f0ee80650 exaggeratedly bowed in greeting.421626d3910b7f14

At that, 980190a5be Manager Song 77c3c37a4c muttered, “Lately, 00f7c815f4 Seungwan seems 5334d499ae to have fadd28845c hyungs left 22eaf833b2 and right.” cacccfc556 For no 16d568cd1a particular reason, e1fb67cbad Seungwan felt 4a0587757f his ears 734812b5f7 heat up ff874eb99a and turned 9c86b85c32 to Kim 3878140440 Byungha.d50f17fc322c702d

“Uh, sunbae… I’m 0a68d3c1d3 sorry I didn’t a67ab519f2 read your message, ee0199b537 but it’s not 42dd9e23e4 really something I da8b7cc73d can talk about 7d70e370a2 right now…”d993ee57815a4d4a

He wasn’t mentally 1619123db7 prepared to ask f4ea4a17ce Kim Byungha for 1f42807544 that kind of 8d876f6bb2 favor, but regardless, 242f490071 it was the c612755dd9 truth. How could he possibly 4148913598 bring up the idea 228b2d4ee0 of forming a relationship cbe26d09c0 just to regulate his bd67ead796 pheromone circulation at his afc6e427a6 workplace? Kim Byungha’s b8f1288621 face stiffened 06085b2427 for a 1f10cf8358 brief moment fc3fdb9196 before he bb7436979d forced an 928727af58 awkward smile.a48a685d4fae0420

Kim Byungha e2efdef74a looked somewhat 3402996957 embarrassed. Seungwan suddenly felt 0de8abf170 guilty, his lips 4bbd5622bf going dry. He wanted d7e92af7aa to apologize 6c7fae13d7 further, but b6722eac74 to be 29514637cd honest, he 41020b8634 hadn’t expected 42e572362d Kim Byungha 21af475dc9 to suddenly 45fe570906 show up cc85ad4b02 at his ca8aed4253 workplace, so adfe00ca5e he had fc59a88a50 nothing to a93515f73e say. On top c5469a130e of that, d762cccb12 he couldn’t 067379dd27 shake the 617760b43b thought—does this guy not 9b42cbb482 have anything to do 9eab413745 on a weekday afternoon?In the end, the 3352208a39 only thing he could beb8adaefc do was awkwardly offer 93a08ec33e to see Kim Byungha f9c8da784b off.3887f70fbdac3ad2

Kim Byungha kept glancing b501c8e768 at Seungwan but didn’t 2a437af7c3 say anything in response 9bc380b3ca to the offer. Seungwan let out a 2a77431315 small sigh of relief 58d1eb66db and walked alongside him 688215a53f toward his car, parked cba7287f7f near the main gate. As Kim c7e42d9054 Byungha gestured 2bfd25ab8d toward his a2a008559b vehicle, he b976ddbd45 suddenly turned acb79b9b42 to face 686da070d0 Seungwan.3f0d50736f2dbeb6

There was an b4c438de4f unreadable glint in cc003c86c4 Kim Byungha’s eyes 4d1c69f4bc as he looked 621a806e72 at Seungwan. Seungwan couldn’t quite tell 5153090015 what it meant, but e8253162e7 it unsettled him, making d9cf6a1eee him slowly nod. Kim Byungha grinned.a900f86551849aba

His tone was light, ab1978df31 but something about it 0350c2ac19 still felt off, leaving 78524b4a37 Seungwan unable to respond. Kim Byungha opened the 2a1ed9ea48 driver’s side door but 76f0d4d697 turned back toward him 190fbde1d2 once more.6e689bc3ac09e483

As he reached out 23bd65cf4e his hand, someone suddenly 265839a7f3 grabbed both of Seungwan’s b2a2886244 shoulders and gently turned 3dfdafaae3 him aside. If not for that 41028c1579 unexpected interference, Kim Byungha’s f0766f0357 hand would have touched 79ceb781ff Seungwan’s left cheek without fbf8349a9f issue.6484aab7fc204478

The man fc506cccb7 asked with 7da0b12132 a smile. Seungwan’s eyes widened in dbebfdade6 shock as he felt aef9f425fc hands on his shoulders. He hadn’t expected to 14cf055769 run into this man 6786cf3ba8 here, at this time. As Seungwan e5e7ae6339 simply stared 73ed3d6d6d up at a8aa2937cf him in 0976a0dde5 silence, Kim 606323b6ea Byungha furrowed 1e3a741ab4 his brows 161b21ec9c and asked, 81d1642027 “Seungwan-ah… who 99df1037d5 is this?”e1dcad1ee28a115c

At that moment, the fc908f2a29 sudden scent of damp e8d216fb34 soil spread through the c22d262192 air. It was cf1de79dcd something harsher 3b93622658 than that, 8e358df81c yet “damp ac101efa59 soil” was 96073eacd3 the only 62ec786f43 way to 6a5358d19a describe it.d40f6dc24d9aaeec

The scent was invisible, 75aefad515 yet it felt as 236e587653 if it were creeping, ba37782f1d slithering around—like it would 8a1adc22e0 suddenly reach out and 28d204219e grab his wrist.03401c6aa592cbe2

Seungwan instinctively f6b11f7960 inhaled, but 6ea89ba896 before he 13885aaedf could take 8b384a9861 a full 180e36d564 breath, someone’s 378ef57bb2 hand clamped e868763742 over his ffd8c2d956 nose and 78435b4912 mouth. A faint vanilla scent c9f3cce347 mixed with a cool cae8a78ab7 aroma. The man’s ea31497204 hand covered bd562bdbc1 Seungwan’s face 47d75dce19 as if 15c5a64b5d shielding him 9d6d0f49a9 from the 4905c8b5c3 encroaching smell cb7a838490 of earth.bebefdf059c858e1

The man f5e396e8a7 pulled Seungwan 846cf4e36f close, causing da18cf66e8 the back e26ba26686 of his fe33643724 head to dc188b1121 collide with 984f88b9f8 the man’s 0c662dd905 collarbone. Startled, Seungwan 605b218f06 struggled, but e263f09854 the man 57ed13f349 gently patted ee83a975dd his chest 7c983a8a5f in a 2675c024d0 soothing motion, af215826be like calming c8515bc9ba a child ac4c3cdd85 in the 78902712a0 midst of 8899e71b1a a sleepy 2fe97c2d7f tantrum.736885ccb8b1cf95

Kim Byungha’s gaze 640d9b8fd5 landed on the f776db6b43 man’s hand, which 558f1da795 completely covered Seungwan’s 92b3b8e3c6 chest. That same 7cf06e90b7 indescribable, unsettling 83eef73b9f gleam flickered e36b507f9b in his 30058d2eea eyes once fbbd02dc45 again. The man let out a3db3aec19 a soft chuckle and 88e745944d asked, “What else do 7217f3b69d you have?”a10e3a161599b9bb

The vibration of 76c7ec900d his voice traveled b7f8502013 straight through the cfa4480b73 contact between Seungwan’s 07a563f892 head and his 12ce05d627 chest. Seungwan, struggling to 23bbc1ac2e breathe under the e3d145c827 firm grip covering a1b0d8cbb9 his mouth and 387756ea72 nose, grabbed at 7e72daf0c3 the man’s wrist. But it was 451383a12d like trying to d4303d69bc move a bundle 63f2dc0d28 of thick steel 36b32a3cd4 rods—completely immovable.9c67497028f7daa2

“Do I 8ff679ed2b look like 22cfae6469 the kind 8e6e33d1a6 of guy 5b0f78874f who’d politely f70f9cba6d introduce himself 2eb1d6ae11 to you?”6de4876467ebc2b7

Kim Byungha’s 56d0681278 mouth opened c3bdb1e919 slightly, as 3031081d15 if to a7ac7d8fce say something, 5ce8dde885 but in e109b0d934 the end, 9938f32c4b no words 3c34e44b62 came out. His face gradually dacac4b247 drained of color. Then, as if the e028e0a3aa man had done something 25ea6a5e2d while still keeping Seungwan’s 9c8fce7f1f airways blocked, Kim Byungha c1d99a495b suddenly went stark white. He covered his d116291255 own nose and 0d6ccce3a9 mouth, stumbled backward, 351338be6c and hastily opened 9bcab94c39 the driver’s side 3b65974e30 door.5180d76d6cd222a8

Then, with a loud 11ba633fcd slam, he shut the cbd89cbae7 door. Only then did 25dde642f1 the man let cb86926aad go of Seungwan. Gasping for the breath e64fd6e318 he had been deprived 4b816f0c7f of, Seungwan coughed harshly. The air around him 3bc9350994 was acrid. There was an oddly 134492986e sweet scent mixed in, 9d16c6b823 but something told him 2091125b58 that breathing in too 50b80fd9e0 much of it would 189d07b87d be dangerous.60db7534e263fcb5

The moment Kim 6cd9c6c111 Byungha started the 603dc559d0 engine, there was 5c37f09be4 a whirring noise—like b19fb2a8ee he had stepped 88410745fb on the accelerator 0661587c34 without shifting gears. Seungwan blinked blankly, unable a9d405079c to make sense of 16ecf4d8df what had just happened. Kim Byungha’s 48e0087a5a car sped c28b663b2f out of 58687416a5 the parking 1491feba01 lot in 19ba6c8745 a hurry, 28dbc148ed leaving Seungwan bf0df6bcba staring after 7348c1e9bc it in bf38a2c436 a daze.76174bb567785c92

He couldn’t exactly say aa0915f945 that, just before getting 024ba8c404 into his car, Kim 56d3d7259d Byungha had glared at 37dcca0370 him. He had 009e91fcb0 come all 4a7ccd3811 this way, 28b87cb17c but things 44c032aaee had turned 370fea4f9e out like a4234fadc2 this, so a74ce646fa he seemed 8207a9e554 quite upset. Letting out a sigh, d109d4617c Seungwan scratched the back d1ed1b126b of his neck, unsure d469d409b8 how he was supposed dae2e17ee7 to explain the situation dc7d9224f5 to Kim Byungha later.7889d146969c6bab

The man 7425821cfa approached and, fbd1e2be66 with a 9a25f4053a firm touch, 6dc3ecd1a7 patted Seungwan’s d9dd0f5f77 shoulders. Each time c7998e3b30 he did, 705630bf73 the force 795ec9ce7a pushed Seungwan c1e5bb02ce back slightly.699fc876b2ce6acf

Just as 37f3d239b0 he was 96dbecf910 about to cd750ee79f ask what 68731bc201 he was 0da1e6a691 doing, the ef466494f6 man remained 592b84bb68 silent, continuing c6bd302a12 to rub 0549a8626e his palms 8e64c6dc58 over Seungwan’s ec4a70fb72 shoulders as 3baa079255 if wiping 0d716a8992 something away. Then, he moved 4899027168 to his back 4716566069 and waist. Seungwan let himself be 9ab8f92e98 pushed along until, suddenly, 469c9e3650 the man pulled him 1da3cd3f93 back, holding him in 613f6aefa5 place as if securing c4f69813ae him in an embrace.

Get rid of what? What had gotten on b437bcb111 him? Seungwan couldn’t see 9fa32770d9 anything on himself, 85b8ce8e98 which only made db82fa4199 it stranger. When the man’s hands cdd21a3eba moved down to his 8a7c0cf8f5 thighs, Seungwan’s face burned 35e8501c08 red.

If he was talking 89e1fc9d6e about Kim Byungha, Seungwan 2deb050b5a had no idea what 1c55cddc85 he meant by something 95ba9bb1f5 being “left on him.” b068914198 Sure, Kim Byungha had 43292d54ac acted strangely by suddenly 182f1e83d8 showing up at his ddd80367e5 workplace, but he hadn’t 73fd0d625b physically left anything on aa3bc9a650 Seungwan. It was odd. However, the man’s tone 4c68c52d3c was different from usual, ee3d4640a6 so Seungwan silently endured 5ffa644757 his touch without arguing.5bfdbb3d12903245

Just like how everything ab69572995 eventually comes to an 5a241ae304 end if you simply 2fe64ad225 endure it, the man’s a7284c895f rough hands, which had b34ee2d71c been striking him without 275be9da9c any clear meaning, gradually 48a25cb4ec came to a stop. He hadn’t used much 725ed3f5f1 force, as if he 13ec7a73ba were merely dusting him a674350f3c off, but for Seungwan, d235446829 those few dozen seconds c2b50186e5 had been spent just a343b450cb trying to keep himself 7d6e4ca6f2 steady as he was 0b68f68488 shaken back and forth.fc263550b98810e8

It hadn’t bb69c30d5c hurt, but 20a50394e5 his head d8959019d4 felt rattled.

He wasn’t, 26c37a9c15 but Seungwan 8f101e8cda didn’t know 0fb7e052e8 how to 69e6aaad4d respond. What kind 098a30c85c of life e108d3c397 had he dfc1f9e8bd lived that 2fa18bf87e would allow e03d5859fc for something 0904882d3e like a c2d8f0c8c3 first love? For someone 65b4b959ed like him, 8bcfd534cd words like c90a671e6f “next month’s 1860a9e1dd interest payment” 09d6fd9873 were far 3c79f2d60d more pressing e246853446 than “first 743f0e6364 love.” Honestly, 32bf5b0fd6 if he 6e3437d5bd had to 31f0e2b1f2 pinpoint the d380b421df first time 39ea7a1e28 he ever f3ba1ccfa4 took an f41402a5be interest in 17960e8697 someone, it f018739877 was probably fe6bd01602 his high 0ec9c7e521 school PE f592fe1c11 teacher rather 65d8838839 than Kim 96c0ccc4a5 Byungha.caeb788e43c29c75

However, perhaps 9ad71563cf interpreting Seungwan’s 1f99f023b6 silence in 463666a0c8 his own 469c236756 way, the 24e542df78 man gave 93a961bf8c a short 941420565f nod.
