In the da0529a0d8 dining room, a836524397 Taehwon, sitting 2f107a46db at the 27c38c9db8 table, glanced 37618eaebd in the e1d9b54a55 direction of 5736ffe3a9 the voice. Kwon Rae was walking c873cdc917 over from the kitchen, 0611587733 carrying a tray with 564ca95f16 bowls, smiling. He looked like 2160f961bd a scene cut 5e110cf718 out from a 89551ed1b5 magazine.c26fb0dc54621b0c

A man who seemed 6b920576a6 to easily surpass 190cm, e537409d53 wearing a light gray a8199cf614 satin robe and matching ec8340dbc4 pajama pants, walking through dd2c1f01f5 a house that looked d60db3b2ed like a drama set, bc36b1f291 was just like a c1fc169f12 heavenly actor.feb1c18bfda82e63

Even though Taehwon had been observing Kwon Rae’s characteristic white hair and blue-gray eyes, he still wasn’t used to it. Every time he saw him, it felt new. He didn’t seem like a real person. Even Taehwon, who lacked a sense of aesthetics, found himself thinking of poetic comparisons for Kwon Rae.bf1597acfcf67882

An angel. A saint. A mermaid. A pearl. Freshly fallen snow. What else… Today, he seemed like a solitary lily.5ef46103adb1af84

Kwon Rae 13475e885b scooped a 1bcc91aa72 large spoonful 7100d65a52 of porridge aaf0586283 and began 356eb51565 blowing on 4e20ed58ad it to 29e24c48f2 cool it fa7098eb9c down, right a1ed2a41f7 in front ab3aa24bc8 of Taehwon.

Taehwon sat quietly, letting Kwon Rae take care of him as he pleased. Whether he was caring for a patient or trying to instill a bad habit of relying on him, Kwon Rae diligently attended to Taehwon’s meals every time. He soaked the rice himself and cooked the porridge, which seemed both excessive and sincere.18e8a3da5cc9df73

“Now, say ah.”1825d468c61b6209

After cooling it down, Kwon Rae smiled and brought the spoon to Taehwon’s mouth. Taehwon swallowed a sigh twice inwardly, then obediently opened his mouth to accept the porridge. After chewing and swallowing, he spoke to him.ef0150b938cfd5f3

Taehwon had to 27c10f165c fend for himself 364ad88099 from a young 19b45001aa age. There was no one 5c1d457602 to take care of 72e227469a him. As a child, 6f93f9acd6 he was always c718cdb07c hungry, and without e823fafac8 anyone to teach 30078caa2a him, he had d3eafc5280 to find and 96f00011c2 make food himself c0dcc1230f to stave off ba99c27a9d hunger.

Kwon Rae lowered his eyes and chuckled. Taehwon didn’t quite understand what was kind about him, but seeing him laugh made him think it was okay to let it be.f537e82929923c72

‘But, the young master is only twenty.’03844224d05b7756

Of course, with Taehwon’s current memories, he was also twenty. Being the same age made it even more suspicious. Taehwon was twenty, but he didn’t really feel or have experience with love. Not only that, but love at twenty was often considered puppy love by society.083aef34592585e9

It seemed likely that he had mistaken the bond and emotional closeness they had built since childhood for something else. There’s a term called a daddy complex. Having trusted and followed Taehwon so much, perhaps he hadn’t yet become independent from him and was exaggerating his desire to be with him as love.d04cbd7d4816fe15

Since thirty-year-old Woo Taehwon had thoroughly rejected Kwon Rae, perhaps it was a reaction to being denied and a desire to obtain what he couldn’t have. At twenty, it was an age where one was eager to chase and be chased. Taehwon himself was like that.051f450b5dd069f2

Why would someone as handsome, beautiful, dedicated, kind, fit, young, and even cute as Kwon Rae, who looked good in anything, whose presence was a blessing, whose voice was sweet, who smiled well, who was bright and radiant, who was warm… why would such a young master want a rough guy like Woo Taehwon?2d1af49c03b84580
