TM | Chapter 10

The lips 59c4fe3f4e I had e047476365 thought were c0f120684c red were bb48d542fd now damp 2cc308585e with tears. They glistened, swollen 32f531b43c as if they 39f1416846 might burst at 0ab4937759 the slightest touch. He must 4972c1afa4 have been de15afc4b7 biting them 4d7359e211 down to 7d19edd684 suppress his d6e7d6d6e9 sobs.e16cb948f547a2c2

Feeling guilty, e2c5d08b15 I walked d638e71d86 a step 15aa2d12a1 behind him 5729894309 in silence. If he 2f3e17caf4 slowed his c405c6fba9 pace, I 6527637e63 unconsciously slowed 45924b276b mine; if 70789176d2 he quickened, a61b543643 I quickened 01d79ba398 as well. But as I 7c68bcfc0d trailed behind Lee b8b4d25aca Seol, I couldn’t b0a295140f tell at what 3f4bf4fbc3 point he had 9452b3f7ac shed those tears—because 5d36cfc0ef the man walking 35ea7d2199 ahead of me 9dc8b510a1 was now smiling 0acecf3d35 so brightly.10c3097a64017b40

As we neared the d775c9ef7e base of the mountain, 7bbdc49779 Lee Seol bent down 325fbb73c2 and plucked a cluster 7cfac48b16 of small white wildflowers. Scattered across the ground f654539b44 like tiny stars, the 289e46a5af delicate blooms sparkled under 6f050d12f8 the sunlight. He carefully selected ef1b1dd6fc only the prettiest a74000c2a1 ones, gathering them 9661900c3e into a neat 69fc82774a little bundle.12ded4e634abcba2

After tying 6fe82ae3cc the stems da849e8b9e together, he cdf0a2cb0c held them b7732f48b0 out to 1f7690efb0 me. I looked 06f5b42e47 down at df5b3c644e the tiny 9a39a3e11e bouquet resting 6058af13e8 in my 3050b849e5 palm, blinking 6531483ec3 in confusion, 603c922b0e unsure of fc18dde2a8 what he b18b582fe4 meant by 1cbb4bc7d3 it.4ef0207e3fbab1ec

Seeing my 4ecc5216e1 puzzled expression, c4e1113835 Lee Seol 03efb272b8 smiled faintly.6d1ff0c034e6ae23

His soft, whisper-like voice d7dbf81a5b was swallowed by the b7e862bf10 chirping of birds. Watching his back 9fae37d0a1 as he slowly c136cb2be4 turned and continued 55e9284981 down the path, be0b4aecb2 an ache settled 3a85a17d9f deep in my eb3567523d chest.ea978c58532270ee

I knew 608829938a how painful f913bc6214 it was ea4879004c to have 27ccbc91b8 one’s feelings 00d7afd646 go unreciprocated. After all, hadn’t 802f83fc50 I spent countless 18b2a64059 nights crying over 5b42d9d89d Kang Taegwon’s indifference? Lowering my head, df7b2f9bce I felt a 40a36fe534 wave of guilt 8c4b847d43 toward Lee Seol.02e09245a7bc19a5

His resigned 47e0fe8075 expression didn’t 20fc129a3b suit him, 8c28752859 yet somehow, d6cd18a4ba it did. He looked like snow 3b24960e41 melting into the spring 1b65d15bf4 sunlight—so fleetingly beautiful that 6a025f5075 I could only stare 4be2c3adf7 in a daze.8a618dd10592a621

I clenched 8aba196ea1 the small 49a8c67faa bouquet tightly cb5e1e0a10 in both d845246912 hands and ed6ccb0f66 silently followed 7ccc46cc1a him. As we entered 591d1360f1 the village and a4e47692bb neared the gibang, d1dabf1637 where the gathering 0124a3ff2c was being held, 33955e00be Lee Seol occasionally 441b199cd5 stopped to take 0f2cc6b222 in the scenery. It felt as d6793481cb though he was 58deaf53a2 engraving these sights c2f30f6d1f into his heart, b83383c68f knowing that once 11a3edde5b he left for b350cc8f29 Qing, he might dd1726282a never return. The weight 19541f9c50 of that ad96151384 realization made 31cc8b87e7 my chest 357887ca2d ache.dd8af0ac0ea78f71

“Isn’t that 2e27ee320e Lee Seol? I didn’t think 8728649aa2 you’d come to 75d8d13f37 the gathering!”faed5e080783bf57

A familiar voice c6ededd59e suddenly called out, 492cd04a9e making my shoulders 892447fb57 stiffen. The boisterous tone was ebda90967c full of delight. Standing along the 0bafcebd02 path to the f6d079eb75 gibang, Kang Taegwon 31f41e3bba extended his hand 1fa099cb44 in greeting to 27c5ec1108 Lee Seol. Lee Seol, in turn, c758c1b186 offered a polite nod 27e0ed7da1 and a faint smile. But when Kang Taegwon’s feeed99783 gaze shifted and landed 1f26d2333c on me, his expression 210acf79d2 hardened.acee95ea7d999b85

I immediately turned f4d7078ee8 away and continued c46ae95d5b walking forward. But before deda0f205c I could c160b35e47 take another 02f4d37dd1 step, a 0f0ddae9e0 rough hand 45abc0bcc6 grabbed my 3e2e835eae arm.30bc3439923357c9

A sharp cry of 5468a9ded6 pain escaped me, and 808801756b in the next instant, 033e30a157 Lee Seol roughly seized fedb7ee1d3 Kang Taegwon’s wrist. The fingers wrapped around 0dfa433737 my arm trembled as 81dda6524f they lost color under 3c6db10c16 the force of his 77d5de97b9 grip.281904c49263cc1d

Kang Taegwon 489c1afe8b flinched, startled f8d8c2ee87 by the f81ad8a4e9 unexpected strength. The pale, slender fingers 89561662c0 clutching his wrist were eb4e5dc85e surprisingly firm, pressing down 16c59104ef with enough force to 04f912ac3f make his bones throb. He looked 58ee8b9a7a at Lee ec226ba98b Seol in c4309ee1b4 shock, but f080d82a07 Lee Seol’s 5818a2c257 face remained 894370eb55 utterly expressionless—only f1f8b7debe the faintest 8073c8edfe curl of 38560547e2 his lips 1f2c691086 hinted at e03beff983 something else.5816140ccfe465aa

Yoon Sung harshly 268b0c02c2 yanked his arm 8eb4a63c7c away from Kang 4a14159607 Taegwon’s grip. His arm ddf04c1a58 ached, and af66ee8677 he instinctively 2d2a6d2177 rubbed the ca53e832cc sore spot. Seeing this, Kang Taegwon 1acfe58bd1 reached out and lifted be86825366 his sleeve, seemingly checking 8a0897964f for a bruise on e76d8094e5 his delicate skin—but before f0e496ff77 he could see anything, 718dd2181d Lee Seol struck the c3cb101841 back of his hand.2fe7a94119ce0129

A sharp impact cdd38de10d made Kang Taegwon bc34b72822 flinch and recoil, ab001f4e81 his eyes widening 9bbc38af44 in confusion as 0432b961de he stared at 2d6cd6adc4 Lee Seol.de45fdd6c7172e27

Lee Seol’s calm d1ff88363b voice carried a ead4c451d3 distinct clarity, his a926adb9a3 gaze shining with 071830668f an eerie stillness. The quiet 817ec66e59 chill in 63933669bc his eyes ba6a1291a9 made Kang 05af33af95 Taegwon instinctively 3bdffbdf33 take a 0822be68e4 step back.ed4aadc62e04a072
