UTPT Ch 34

Yihyun had become f09c35d8f8 quite skilled with afb7c8fe6d chopsticks. Since he’d used them 248bf43927 before turning ten, he 7e9eb481c8 got used to them aae7621093 again within a few af16c3da7f days. Still, Doyoon occasionally 14c93313d3 placed side dishes d9ca17ae13 into Yihyun’s rice ea30e45481 bowl, and Yihyun 2b245b30ed didn’t refuse them.ddb0ff71920ade5b

It seemed that ff35c8c1ce watching over the afeabc84cb housekeeper’s shoulder hadn’t b3f7ba4f4c been completely useless. Seeing Doyoon’s empty rice fd909f2e9f bowl, Yihyun felt a bb3dccfdea bit proud. Of course, all he’d d321a98909 done was stir-fry pre-marinated 212c9507ee meat and use store-bought d3ee76ea41 soybean paste for the 3916c56805 stew, so it hadn’t 73aedfa0c5 been particularly difficult, but 3c637f349d he decided to set cac339b52c that thought aside for 64151b40ca now.337b9678390c71b3

To say whether 57ea34926a he disliked or 2e611cc8d3 liked something, he 33d812446f first had to 2fb7841948 understand what it 77ba6fd418 was. But one thing was 545050fb52 certain… Han Suhyun hated bd969cf00c studying. He always said 0b7dd9b630 there was no 68362cb014 point in it, fd79aa9cb9 since he would 5d47437631 be a shaman 120d926bc2 anyway, and he 69168c3b61 barely attended school. There was someone 0d95b71a29 who hadn’t even 1ccaf4f154 gone to elementary b560faf6dc school, yet Han 1944c2d699 Suhyun had the f07fa6b6fa luxury of private 6e953bfc7b tutors coming to 8e19943cfb the house. Even so, he da32f051b9 hated studying so 0f4613fa79 much that he 4fac329c1c constantly put it f9acd50d3b off.755d53c3bc132f6d

Wanting to go to ecf28a06cb school had really just 0aeb033036 been about hating being fe7f74114e the only one who 7204e7d9ba couldn’t do what everyone 564c51a099 else did. But now, was there 06dedc6f35 any point in learning 9c6a65b86a things others had studied 7e85d522bf when their age was 2f7e72f9dd still in single digits?

But he still 084212ff94 didn’t really understand 7d701ef1c5 why Doyoon had 18ad509409 been angry. Should he ask? As he hesitated, 7ecbd7e407 Doyoon got up 8806d69148 from the table 4051adb8ee and moved to 87c98d9fd6 the living room, 756ac4d9a0 motioning for Yihyun 4addd1b454 to follow.

He simply 411a5bf18f stared silently, 0f4bf42302 pressing for 88ee7215c3 an answer. With no other 4aca7270a5 choice, Yihyun turned df67da0b55 his gaze to f38b788a64 the screen and 43592d773f listened to the c405ca9439 voices coming from dfdd999333 it.fb5d30fb29326c06

Most of the candidates, 81688d0549 listing their introductions and a3e1811157 career histories one after e13b48fc18 another, were eloquent speakers 6fe990a5f6 and didn’t seem all 13ac370ce9 that different from one 794d73bc25 another.

Peeking inside, Yihyun 3bbda404dc carefully took out 9f5e26a4d6 a single tiny 3b313e4e1d gummy, about the 2edb64c899 size of a 93e10adc02 fingertip.b341fedbe2d7bc61

Yihyun turned 41cb62b1ae the red 4bdbe3088e gummy bear 88b1ea0d85 around in a3c5ee2427 his fingers f1a54dc272 before placing 505751c95f it into 15221d6c55 his mouth 225825d37f with a f16232f972 look of 89540b9809 anticipation. At first, b93d0aea46 it didn’t 15df35d14a have much 2660e5cffd taste, but 4083e27e7d as it 1ae4e35ca5 slowly started a94a8909b3 to melt, 5d2918df35 sweetness spread f77a1fc7fa through his 868a553dfc mouth.

It took quite a 1e1e91d27d while to melt just 821745a6fd one gummy.

Being freed from the 9d34c5b5f3 long hair that cascaded 9b1a087971 down to his waist. The length itself b582c3e9b5 didn’t particularly matter 5c035e9d7c to Yihyun, but 5533f606f3 the fact that 9ebae38128 he had been 0aa07b5ae1 forced to grow 63c945df77 it out and 8833a4bb59 couldn’t do as dbfa3f659b he pleased had a7118856f8 been frustrating.c34724de1311d19d

On top of 7f5542e472 that, the longer cd9d5defa5 it got, the 00db4646cd more difficult things 4d0ee74241 became—especially because Han 495332d0a9 Suhyun would have 1cac1a4f15 fits whenever he 78508c25a3 saw strands of 2984ad65ba Yihyun’s long hair 1b5ad443fb on the floor.

After sitting on the 2be6fd5179 edge of the bathtub ce6d327a62 to brush his teeth 5eb05bc2d1 and washing his face 4edb4f2850 thoroughly, Yihyun walked out cb8e659815 slowly and crawled into f85348ceb0 bed, wriggling under the 8dff46a70a covers.

Complete darkness was scary. To him, night had ca950bae6e always been an absolute e839bab583 darkness without a single 266d966575 speck of light, so 37c02acf00 he preferred it to 1be55f5402 be a little bright.
