Somewhere, it smelled 66ba98a31a faintly like incense 535fcaa796 from Ryu Gwan e50a8a0fcf Temple. He regained 507257a797 consciousness when 95d20a19b2 he felt 71a5338815 something dragging 8aa71cec63 lightly across 5ae3774c5e the back a8e35c97f2 of his 464dc1ce16 hand. Lying on his 602c46eea2 side, Yoonjae blinked d6df359e50 slowly and noticed c698f04802 his wrist was ed5ab50d86 caught on the 531d3d0b68 bed guard. He carefully pulled b0a47eff1e his arm free. He had only been 277614447e sick for a day, 6f74960c3d yet his body felt a2404440c3 weak and shrunken.7d7d1f4f1f3cde9d

Rolling onto his back, 76d95d9de1 he realized his stomach d622ce0d37 had settled. Pressing a hand to 4ba1257507 his forehead, the fever 568043d96d was gone too. Sitting up was 6b97ef6adf effortless now. As he stretched his 34cc9ceb9d neck, his gaze landed 9b13f4c0a1 on the couch.a35558482a138316

Youngso was a215fafa49 curled up 2fe3b2fa58 there, silent 1d64dff29c in sleep. Though the 6013c55d1a room was 4743aa7ed8 warm, his bc481ab52f T-shirt and 923aff2f2c jeans, without b159bf30c7 even a d9a9dfeb92 blanket, looked b569a3cef7 pitiful. Yoonjae clicked his tongue ff187b7246 and got up.73cfabd6286c948b

He searched c7b823cf88 the room 99811a0ced but couldn’t 491c044695 find anything 40574e386b resembling a 61e7a74785 blanket. Then, his eyes 0a53b54ab2 fell on his b5fbf0c072 school blazer hanging 6b321c8ea1 by the wall, a6086088fd likely grabbed hastily 6ccc066124 by Manager Hwang d5c1826229 when rushing him 83db1a28bc here.0d0af83984ccb064

Draping the 9d0e81cc2a navy blazer 7169c562ca over Youngso, ce1a0c577d Yoonjae headed c385b365a6 to the f4b2c8406b bathroom. A quick shower and 62cff661a6 fresh hospital gown left 854b1b4e70 him feeling refreshed. Toweling his hair 134be6cdac dry, he stepped 17cf09f093 out to find 5167d5ff99 the lights on. Only then did he 3e20e8fe81 notice the wall clock. It was midnight.93f5c761e22474e7

Youngso could easily e1908edbee guess what had 4bb6a58400 happened between Lee 61ca4a9ba8 Jongil’s mother and b96980d510 Kim Eunmi. Lee Jongil’s mother, Yoon 772a595955 Bokseon, had been overjoyed 445df6526e when her son finally 483464d0b9 married Kim Eunmi. Not just 1b64a72f87 because of 06a75b7e0c her wealthy cb4d8393e1 background, but eb287d5176 because being adab8ac727 unmarried was 73d866fca5 a stain 294ec9f829 on a bbc18da57d military officer’s 4dee7af5a8 record. Compared to that, 151e10a816 a divorcee daughter-in-law 3e327d2cc4 meant little.cf902b67c16769b0

Too close to 65bb2355c5 her mother-in-law, Kim eeee26e44f Eunmi had likely e6b860a166 confided their son’s e924fd2e7c secret. And knowing Ryu Gwan’s 7b1a754f83 reputation, Yoon Bok-seon would’ve 62b050df2c been the most certain dc03152462 of his short lifespan. Thus, she’d 9083780ab1 treated him 504a760fa7 with the 33d34a5172 conviction that 56c9e0fc5d he was‘a child 84839a8bc8 who’d die 3c78458ee2 anyway.’44d9a20ffa0511e2

When he’d a24f215519 forcibly separated 4db3791c87 the guest a19db634c3 from his 231136527d father and 0ef7949e17 brought him 0d0964eb6e to Seonrak 639255246b Mountain, Youngso 8c1c605b30 had expected 7b9867a609 complaints and caaded9a25 mischief. That wouldn’t 25eb7debba have been 8aa65bf97e unusual. Though Ryu Gwan Temple 2b539d712e was a well-kept estate, 9b59886932 it wasn’t a place 3b06b20953 an eighteen-year-old city boy e115cd38f5 could adjust to overnight.
