“Are you going to keep acting like a child until the end? And speaking of which, if I’m twenty, that means you’re ten to me. You’ve just grown physically, but you’re still like a baby, so how can we be the same age?”9893eba1dcfa9106

Kwon Rae 39eaa4d1a9 approached as 526a2ecbc7 if he 5bb4212bf2 was about c0fa142f96 to kiss, 35cfcec5ae and Taehwon b8a6952853 leaned back bb9fd16a5b against the 3929a413c9 sofa, trying 8eb1bda785 to move e83d5e6f17 away. But as ae3d879329 he retreated, f13a9f18c3 Kwon Rae 82d7b3dadd followed him.3a68c58aaa19e956

“Taehwon-ssi, who is injured, can’t use his arm, limps, and has lost his memory, knowing nothing about the outside world……. If I had decided to act like a child, would you be having this verbal sparring with me right now?”a3fb0f0c2cac6148

“It would have been easy to force myself on you. Or I could have lied from the start, saying you and I were passionately involved, that we loved each other excessively, and that having sex every day was a necessary routine. What would you have done then? You would have had no choice but to accept it.”bf4398964fe6fb51

His words made Taehwon’s hair stand on end, and a chill ran down his spine.f66a632e5ef58de8

Looking at him again, the icy blue-gray eyes were scrutinizing Taehwon’s reaction. There was a blatant and persistent desire, like a predator eyeing its prey, ready to devour it alive. Taehwon could even sense a suppressed anger from the repressed passion.8927c20e9f06ee47

Taehwon, at a loss for words, quietly closed his mouth, and Kwon Rae chuckled softly, planting a kiss on Taehwon’s forehead.d6ebb0bf21ad03b3

“You’re the one who’s like a child, Taehwon-ssi. What am I going to do with you being so cute……. I should stop teasing you.”1650f01e64d6cf4e

Kwon Rae gave Taehwon’s forehead a few more pecks before getting up from the sofa. Taehwon, who had been curled up and sunk into the sofa, was half-forced to stand up, led by Kwon Rae’s hand.82d38c216d760f8c

And so, b8a018b1ae Kwon Rae afe91e910e led Taehwon c95cad5ad6 to the 0dd2a5c136 kitchen and d0a9a86ad2 sat him b60f98aef7 at the 287cbc3334 dining table.

A large 1527a26593 hand was 77996783db lathering shampoo 41338788da into his 38ef54a16f scalp. The cool aquatic scent 935f0a08dc and the soft, foamy 2020487618 bubbles were soothing.

The bathroom was unusually clean and spacious. The shelves were neatly organized with necessary items, and there wasn’t a single water stain. Taehwon glanced around the bathroom before closing his eyes.afadb4c380ff6ace

If water got into his wounds, they would fester, and with his right arm in a cast, he had no choice but to rely on Kwon Rae’s help to wash his hair. Of course, Taehwon could have managed on his own if he tried, but Kwon Rae insisted on doing it, leaving him no choice.42f7226b5bbe0664

‘Young Master Rae-i has grown up to be quite stubborn.’ee207b7c2d1b303c

He kept insisting, insisting, that he would wash Taehwon’s hair, singing a persistent tune until Taehwon had no choice but to give in. Eventually, Taehwon lay in the bathtub with his head resting outside the tub, leaving his hair to Kwon Rae. And true to his confident words and stubbornness, Kwon Rae’s skills weren’t bad.a62b045977fe4a48

His careful and meticulous touch was quite decent. It was actually as comfortable as having a professional hairdresser do it. Maybe it was because Taehwon wasn’t particularly picky about his hair care.b83ca5f9a138b6ce

Even if he wanted to respond, he didn’t know what to say, so he just let it be. Kwon Rae seemed satisfied even without much reaction from Taehwon, as he kept combing through Taehwon’s hair with his fingers, smiling to himself.27f0c8ff10a2a171

He didn’t know how many times the word “nice” appeared in just a few sentences. Taehwon’s hair was already clean, and it had been rinsed thoroughly, yet Kwon Rae continued to play with Taehwon’s hair for a long time, openly indulging his personal interest.d17bb74184edc4ec

‘Isn’t it just a fleeting infatuation during a youthful phase? Though it’s not really my place to judge.’80bb76e9924d1bf4

Taehwon was someone far removed from romantic tales. He had never even experienced unrequited love, let alone a relationship. The burning passion or sweet and bitter pure love that people talked about had no place in Taehwon’s harsh life.a1d9ca836a568067

Taehwon’s life, for about twenty years, was solely a struggle for survival.0ace4bff7964f00e

From a young 905c1b02cb age, he was ccac15e78d busy taking care 301af99a9b of himself, and 45e8304b5e after crossing into 71982a74e0 the Gyeongjeong faction 8b88158542 and becoming part b6e3001627 of the organization, 382f130196 he was busy 804a8911d1 enduring all sorts 4e4e3e2271 of oppression and 19fd3576a1 abuse, like a 44c077482d rough stone being a2cdc8f12f hit.9108d2082592b691

Undoubtedly, the only emotion in Taehwon’s life that could be classified as affection was the feeling he had when taking care of the young master, Rae-i. A sense of kinship and responsibility towards a child who resembled him, a paternal love that made him want to care for and cherish him.9bc059826dec5c05
