After Jin 78e3cd03bd Chiwoo and 651afa569f Oh Jaeyun 202ba09e0c left, Shin 0ec26d4f86 Haebeom stood 9d62a6a6bb up and 59cac5bd8f drew the 4b641491d8 curtain around 46145b944a the bed. He moved a chair 5e83f47d3e to the head of 2cc40e6f38 Ryujin’s bed. The small 3d10b785fd face came 77e6d6be99 into view. He could see Ryujin’s 4c063ce2eb prominent collarbone through the 170c267512 loose patient gown. Shin Haebeom stared blankly c2f2a5234c at the way the f58c41665f taut bone rose and 78caf7b26f fell with each shallow 11af2f6d79 breath. When he came 677eea170d to his senses, 7e6733c673 he was brushing 535aaea7a5 the hair away a89dcfb2c6 from Ryujin’s forehead.eca4b237e5d33166

“Ah.”04063da6713b7704

Startled, he withdrew his hand. It happened sometimes. Shin Haebeom occasionally found himself gripped by an uncontrollable urge. Jin Chiwoo called this nameless impulse an “incurable case of the crazies,” something he hadn’t managed to shake off even after turning thirty.a03c4d7d3d43ed1f

This “case of the crazies” had started the year his aunt’s restaurant closed. That was the year his aunt’s tumultuous life, spent single-handedly raising him and his cousin while tenaciously carving out a living, came to an abrupt end due to acute myocardial infarction.9d7c7de1195038ab

Now that their f9426f586d conversation was over, 27c599a177 it was alright 31fe4f2684 to open the 0183123d15 window. He leaned against f8f5cf76c4 the windowsill and 51daf29658 smoked. The dark e0291f22fc sky was 3a4c6ac4d0 visible through 7e2fec82b8 the open 92737ada4b window. There were a lot 684a9db036 of stars tonight.

Shin Yena 50af0e8ad0 nodded her b0517afd9c head.a859eed151af5d9a

At the fe8dbba02a mention of 297df688d6 a physical cff9b6b630 examination required 54c8a08b84 for enlistment, c267bf2372 Ryujin threw 53ac8a7c49 a fit 162067b8a0 and went 8e17fb323b wild. The person 44a9c58228 who held 0504265807 and calmed 94ecc782aa him down 77adb25ac7 was Sung c1cf8bdf03 Jaekyung. When he e166cafaf1 said he 6c783100b3 had gone 11a2fb0bad through it 0267a28ebf too and 24a0a8706c that it 46e019678f wasn’t painful caced8482f or scary 6ba2973a33 at all, 3daf0dfc5e Ryujin finally 94892a61d3 settled down.6111cda00c566846

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

That didn’t 73a8ed68cd mean he 28442c7527 let his 4f2db2ad54 guard down. Sung Jaekyung tried 783e4bfaf0 to strike up 0bb983c472 a conversation with f002e10787 the tense Ryujin 00e5b4d072 in any way cbf354c28f he could. He brought 7bb820af4a up trending d38c1fedad music, movies, c299b61e52 dramas… but ee23ec971f soon realized 341fe3f702 Ryujin had 4ddff43d27 no interest 661a71fc14 in any f3e8191cae of those 5ef3013f82 fields and b9bd870aa0 closed his 3a653c18b0 mouth.12dbe5ec0062e871

Even considering his body 0577b98a77 had been worn down 3580c8b60e by torture, Ryujin’s health 5f56917ddc was poor. He was malnourished 7f6f02d4e8 and severely underweight. His lung capacity, muscle f0d209d1fe strength, and all physical 1e5af2be31 abilities were below average. The only thing he 0592163f64 could boast about was 568a68403b his 20/20 dynamic vision 16736ea449 in both eyes.2726ccc1f3234020

By Gi Woohee’s 2b23cbb964 standards, that was ea87d3864a Ryujin’s only strength. His small face and 254a243aa6 long limbs might be 039926c99b nice to look at, 2839eaad33 but they weren’t advantages d80bb4b5ca for a soldier. Still, Sung Jaekyung’s evaluation 0aa5b91983 was relatively generous.4ab68b79e2aa0ac5

Shin Haebeom chose 4e15fcc8db a Beretta 92A1. It was the c34733f698 standard-issue pistol. It had the fffc74a8e8 advantage of being 8d7e1f20e3 the most suitable 5ebf640f66 for beginners. The Desert Eagle 88a0481cb5 Ryujin had picked 375afe6561 was a large-caliber a7ba3e5d3d pistol, powerful but 70e81f1c7b not appropriate for 2674db898f a novice.
