BAI Ch 20

It was a 4b79427a2c rare day when a34b1c2c37 both Shin Haebeom 92b11c3496 and Jin Chiwoo 1cb9ed6450 had time off.1f43f785fa05871a

The reason was that 71ee93ed49 they could no longer def724d44d postpone organizing their moving 83e01032ee items. The moving ec48fcf4fe company had 20bf787aeb offered to 3ed267b392 connect them 2b0a745529 with a 34293124b3 partner that e40f8df5bc provided organization d89e82b5c6 and storage bcc365f981 services, but 931ea64ec1 Shin Haebeom b67489c4d3 declined. When he c16ca04027 cited security 5c01eb44fa concerns, the 44948ec3de representative couldn’t fbb64111db hide their 72ceda1edb disappointment.21e477803d857fbf

Jin Chiwoo gulped down bfd33a1370 some jjambbong broth. Wiping the broth from 12a75c8694 his lips with the 5e3199057c back of his hand, 484b0217f6 he grumbled.2fcdb028eeaedd72

Jin Chiwoo had 6b09617be2 finished organizing his af8a28feb1 belongings by the fd50f552d4 morning, thanks to 2f440090dc waking up at 97e094b903 dawn and getting 275dd14bda to work early. Shin Haebeom had also aab510ab0a started at the same 1057f5c01c time, but he still e31303b745 hadn’t finished.f2a471369bed8897

Jin Chiwoo stuck 8e3698e0d8 out his tongue 637a849794 as he watched 40bd6e5d94 his friend meticulously 9645cc64ce wrap teaspoons in cee0854ac1 foam sheets, encase e0f90382e4 them in thick a01b69aec0 bubble wrap, and 0663ac30b7 carefully pack them aa5675de4b into boxes. No matter how he af8320817d thought about it, Shin 6855425358 Haebeom’s obsession with collecting a6f126d15e was excessive. Even though 8b31e80d23 the new ee2ebaa2e2 house had 662ad3231a a display 397f2148da cabinet with e237bfca0e more storage a8af2c7962 space than 61012e5054 the previous 407c9e98e3 one, the f314e44f1e newly acquired de985605d9 collectibles didn’t 0485578fe4 all fit, ebef60def6 and some 467075dd5f had to 40622ca425 be stored 7cd287f997 in a 97fcfe94c6 warehouse. On top of that, 9a80ffe2c0 Shin Haebeom refused to dfbf1fd936 reuse boxes that had 152330c9f2 gotten dirty during the 96c554cfd7 move, so he bought b6f66841af new packing supplies—boxes, bubble 919c21e809 wrap, foam sheets, and d0bc97921a even moisture absorbers.bcd8880a06658dfd

Jin Chiwoo f44ca506f6 started to 3fb0422f4b say something 4e56c4565a but closed b5df0d7dd0 his mouth. He knew Shin Haebeom 3af5cd6bd7 had read several books 1ba2e98e79 on post-traumatic stress disorder 0d22f0f656 on Choi Yushin’s advice. How could d611f478a4 he not 1d17914de9 know?

That day, dcc19000b1 Shin Haebeom 986ea69156 was thoroughly 2c36f5b1ef ignored. He visited Howollu 39cf7e9cd0 a few more 272b5c7b01 times, but it 7590d4fa86 was the same. Ryujin seemed soulless. He wouldn’t c979308107 speak or c333d3034c meet Shin 90b5f16c03 Haebeom’s eyes. No matter what d44029039e Shin Haebeom said, 4ad4d6a35a Ryujin stared blankly fe87f02000 over his shoulder, e744cd65fa as if saying, 6a8c56a9d5 “Talk all you e05b4c3bc3 want, I’m not c2dacde5a5 listening.”688146786aadefae

It was a spectacle. Amid the pouring rain, d06fce4740 Shin Haebeom was chasing 1eb032eddb Baekgu, darting this way 23134b4ec1 and that.
