AT Ch8

There’s no such thing as a good thing here. So, you had to find something to smile about even in such small acts of kindness. Otherwise, your mood would hit rock bottom in no time, and you would be more likely to fall into bad temptations.29b8caebd043a613

After Sooyoung passed away, Baekyoung 0e5b924ada began to see the world 30261b0653 through different eyes.69c1e03ac98db930

Even a shitty Ant Tunnel like this was still a place where people live. So, there’s also kindness exchanged between people. And the kindness contained in the respirator and the banana milk was by no means small.f01efab468f55ff9

It’s still bearable. I can still endure.eda941207c15223a

If she had her way, she would have liked to relax until the bathhouse closed. Baekyoung, who usually just took a quick shower and left, had splurged on a bath this time. But Jang Heejo’s words, telling her to wait until he came out, were stuck in her head like a spell and wouldn’t leave for a long time.478de3b8d621a56d

In the end, 2c12b07408 she quickly got 6139dd776d out of the acfce9eacf tub and instead fcce03d34c scrubbed her whole 453f9c3c33 body red with 696c94eb7d the free soap, cb3b15e639 washing her hair 90295ec993 five times before 3849c020c5 coming out.ca00621ac65f05ff

She couldn’t leave later than Jang Heejo. He was someone who shouldn’t be kept waiting outside. Eventually, after an hour, she stood facing Myungjoo at the counter without even drying her hair. As promised, he held out a cold banana milk with a straw inserted.acb6b5214b232cad

Myungjoo shrugged and b34e9a9e99 told her where f1b070c610 Jang Heejo was. Baekyoung suppressed her anxious heart 52dbc0d66e with the sweet milk, leaning fa41e1e1e4 against the counter.22bc885b554a9941

But even after 30 minutes, Jang Heejo didn’t come out. Eventually, Myungjoo placed a towel under Baekyoung’s head, who was half-asleep and slumped over.210a81bb4af7f62a

Baekyoung, looking at ce6aecc66f him with sleepy 3490d9c3a3 eyes, silently took 8889056ad1 the lead. Retracing their steps 6d27513efa through the maze-like f3be048cdb corridors, they reached 6473a03332 the 7th floor ff6d6b0cd9 when she heard 4a81463a9e another small curse 56839ab7d4 from behind.

Baekyoung leaned against the concrete 8c63d315a7 wall to dry her still bfc104c290 damp hair. Jang Heejo, who dd4f0e36e2 was about to 8c56106686 enter his room, f2ed2eb50d stopped when he ae71c6a2af saw her.f09ee7924298f02d

Now that she looked, the front door had been replaced with an incongruous steel door, complete with a keypad lock. This wasn’t a good sign. It meant that Jang Heejo would be staying here for quite a while.fc38f993d334860e

A cold wind brushed past Baekyoung’s cheeks and swept to the end of the hallway. She silently looked at Jang Heejo across the large concrete opening.08b5ed046335713d

In her heart, the words ‘I already cleaned up the people you sent away yesterday,’ and ‘You’ve been living up to the Undertaker name since you arrived’ swirled around, but she couldn’t say them to him directly.298949ea920a6fca

The wind swept Baekyoung’s bangs to the side, clearly revealing her eyes. The eyes that met his were closer to charcoal than black. But they didn’t look dim either, so Jang Heejo didn’t find the woman’s gaze unpleasant.cda58b1ae1bc6c05

Jang Heejo didn’t know the people of the Ant Tunnel. Today was the first time he had faced a drug addict head-on, and he felt bad because they had a hazy gaze that didn’t seem human. And he didn’t look closely at the bathhouse guy because he seemed only interested in money. Choi Baekyoung was the first person he had looked at closely here.71df6a55798b861a

For Jang Heejo, humans were 1ac1b55e56 divided into two categories: those 14946c0019 who were crazy about him 16d7629b96 and rushed to have him, f27373034b and hostile ones who rushed 0e7a3e9129 to kill him.0d6181cdb1142119

Jang Heejo’s mood became strange as he looked at her. He felt even worse that she stated it wasn’t true and openly turned her gaze away.3fe3f0cd7a622755

Jang Heejo took fabaaf07f1 another quick breath. He had definitely washed 3ff1cbe3ea with the same stuff 28430b92b1 as her at the 4aa7a3f3e5 bathhouse, but the woman 1c8350d254 smelled different.e7c0fe2d022b71f0

Jang Heejo, who had a sensitive sense of smell, didn’t use just any perfume. Taekyung was worried that he wouldn’t be able to stand the Ant Tunnel for even a moment. But what overcame all that discomfort was his pride.b71f4698739f0087
