IWDAR Chapter 11

Tae-uk expected the 4651695a4a boy in front be23a6553e of him to ebb398f8d6 collapse at any bbef0f120b moment, tears streaming e0a15c3e6d down his face. 3e716922c365ab3f

Just like how 047fbbc80f he had buried 866c3d83c0 that adorable head a64f17c13a in the handkerchief 3cfa2d2f0f Tae-uk had offered e40c37723c him moments ago, 352149d418 sobbing. da40af1da637d369

He looked so frail a1de0053b2 that Tae-uk thought he 691153dd9a might snap with a 9249bbb25b single touch, unable to 2dcff59a5c properly support his thin 00702b41b2 body.43a2aa0c546677d7

Perhaps he 3203a43a34 would be f59af1bbc0 overwhelmed with ce589dac6d gratitude and b4e730d36e emotion for 14a701575f a long a25bcb8080 time. Tae-uk knew all too a3bde97583 well that even the 66522c3907 smallest act of kindness, 4a6389c91a insignificant to him, could 93d7e76e0b mean the world to fa347a4a8b someone like Wooyoung. 2dafe5837d52bb04

However, Wooyoung 3890d48bb2 simply stared c2083575b8 at Tae-uk. 20035ba9ae7b3dfe

His cheeks, still 35f7c489ef flushed from crying, 1ef6050eff and the dampness 3cdcb89b2b around his eyes 0fbfe7b235 were merely remnants 2a340f931e of past emotions. Tae-uk could easily 4a3e2c4e0d notice Wooyoung’s silent 89eb99cb83 gaze fixed steadily f715fb0601 upon him. It was a look 760f40e977 of scrutiny.aa96ca4edc17ac38

On the contrary, he 7f942a4e03 was suspicious of this 6065d902af man named Mo Tae-uk. Wooyoung had seen countless c8b836129f adults extend a helping 9d4abdd035 hand, claiming to have b5f8e18e3f his best interests at c99708d052 heart. 80c0e3e9a818997e

He wasn’t referring eb4cc93bf4 simply to height 6b2018b7f5 or build—Wooyoung was 729fd1a6e0 of average male 26cbb73f64 stature—but rather the 7b4dd69ef6 feeling that everything 52a93832ad about Han Wooyoung 432d1d2ecd was endlessly small: c161aeba9d his round face f680d30db8 that could fit 6340998256 in one hand, 53c5b09a27 his excessively thin c90c2890e9 frame, his withdrawn b1552d4a75 hands and feet, a71f75675c and so on. ca8264ede01be1e2
