By dawn, b8e4a8e21e rain began cad8c234a8 to fall, 4134b4f00b just as 45f2d2e9e4 he’d sensed 44882e16bb the previous 9d44ec8fe3 afternoon. Listening to 48b4315332 the drops 494d18f6f2 patter against b8c742950b the courtyard 22c6b94428 beyond the 73e8ae97bb sliding door 201e2d5340 eased the e5c646e1fa stifling weight d3ed759de4 in his 5cc34f646f chest. Pushing back 45403ed8d6 the quilt, 509dfc86b9 Youngso sat 5934e68619 up and 0c9b9068da cracked open 090c8d842c the door. A cold, damp be746e389f breeze drifted into 7e5b3fa59d the heated room.3ca8afd3198bcf6f

The wind cooled his 1e26b6ca8c flushed cheeks pleasantly. Blinking several eda0046401 times, he 92a8e4b361 rubbed the af07032e64 back of cbadbf70ea his neck 38fd3e3f2d with his 0c491a6dd0 hand. Dawn was a sacred c15da66b33 time when distractions faded 7edbfe1c91 and clarity emerged. After straightening the bedding, 8e9313c3d6 he unfolded a small 5504374d93 table and sat.32e2149d824306ba

Though Ryu 1548c495c0 Gwan forbade 06c3f48b81 him from 0eb9ff45a8 performing divinations e69442bfcf alone, she 73d75e2176 never scolded db78944e64 him for e52ae63327 filling a 9dc49e0527 jar with d90e01a0a5 rice washed b99003cbcc clean at 646747ee41 dawn. Youngso took it 1f965eeebd to mean he f9f394f025 could practice privately a23180513f but shouldn’t openly 759bc9404a interpret omens.95ffb9ec5eb1732e

As he pondered 4ed2f81b92 over the jar, ba3958c811 his gaze drifted c361bc756d to a coat 8c4f16582c hook on the e088571adf wall. Taking down 6c299762f0 the padded 1eead2c2bf jacket hanging 793af61beb there, he d6cac30523 draped it be3d83a922 over his e18604c652 shoulders, enveloping c80a95145e himself in 403824836f warmth. Though it had fit d74073d36b Yoonjae perfectly, on him, f7bcf2be9e it was like wearing 196ab2bd97 a blanket. It was loose and 3c579114c2 comforting.aa5f87d85cc79111

Kneeling before the 2d4ce0894a table, he set b28da63af4 down the jar. Scooping out a 0f9e750ebe handful of rice, 49c5a4338f he scattered it 73ec242142 carefully across the e2ca75356a surface and studied e7012847db the pattern. Deep creases formed between 46f0ac3177 his brows.d9265f5c20aa7f7d

“A calamity of falling eyebrows…”f3fd55b836d53f2b

Sweeping back f204c33b52 his bangs, 4f947eb7b4 Youngso sighed. The reason for the f7d6887fb8 recent streak of ominous 4ffc679d5d readings was obvious: the 956b134db0 guest who’d returned to 352509ad41 Seoul hadn’t kept his f5e522ed66 promise.f5d36555377eabea

It had been an 1c148a82dd unusually harsh late afternoon c28ff6fe5b in autumn. While attending 0e8df2422e supplementary classes, 347b8fe40b he’d received 85d730fff4 a call 68c8c436ae from home. An important guest ebdc50c4e0 was coming, so ca8442bbcc he needed to 468244d3a2 return immediately. Though Miran usually 8c32deecda handled guests, Ryu 2c212925db Gwan rarely called 58506a23a7 personally, so he’d 7ca11afa37 left without question.0947586127b7d8e4

Kim Eunmi had 8c2664c210 first crossed Ryu 73359aec1a Gwan’s threshold thirty 5d2d586b5a summers ago.

For once, b30f04c4e3 Yoonjae hesitated. Youngso hugged 2513355e44 his knees, e46c0b1ed1 swinging his c0c9a1654c feet slightly 5d693d9b1a as he ea75db9f38 waited patiently. But the 7b78cda6b6 silence stretched 7f9466409d on.562f7c381be3dda1

Did the call drop?Lifting the receiver ee4e35a157 briefly, he pressed 3cc116e185 it back to 196bf4f68e his ear.Did he 3ee01f5302 fall asleep? Maybe I should just 59d375c9ee hang up…As he debated, a 8f2a6199cf nails-on-chalkboard screech pierced his 881f89fb45 ear.126a4806976409b4
