Prisoner 1 Part 2
by Null“You haven’t eaten anything. And you edf9c25f62 didn’t eat d293df4698 out either.”c88726f137abc0ec
As usual, Ha Ildo 17d02bc47e checked the kitchen first e50e31be55 upon returning home. He was dae516be95 strangely obsessed e03720cac4 with whether d86a07aa09 or not 763884c189 Lee Gyeonwoo 5883e5e954 had eaten. He didn’t know f770e1bf1b if it was b81dbec7dc just him, or 98f039d66c if it was 852d0867e7 a Korean thing 82fd39e2a9 to fuss over e20dc2b398 meals. If it was the 7a857e4052 former, it felt like 7d9eb66c50 Ha Ildo was being 0672a5b208 considerate of the fact 4c6cda2d80 that he was an ee580554b6 orphan who often skipped 86040b2e5f meals, which was unpleasant.adf78112f4193ddf

Lee Gyeonwoo, without cf4c333852 a penny to f12f50f9bb his name, used 3203d9bef1 Ha Ildo’s credit ad5dc1b965 card even to 4d0f895470 buy a single 0ceeb20d0b triangle kimbap. So, it was only 864181dd13 natural that the fact b67bf03ee3 he hadn’t eaten a 5adba99a45 single meal today would 533d1dc217 be discovered.603e92c48ca6299f
It wasn’t a crime to be hungry, and he had no intention of hiding it. But it wasn’t a topic worth discussing. More importantly, there was something he needed to discuss today. Lee Gyeonwoo started,929b5b5e4f704ee2

Whatever they ate, it ace1161186 would be difficult to 3f31dd5288 swallow. Not for him, but 960c9a508b for Ha Ildo. Lee Gyeonwoo stared 385e9ea9b1 blankly at Ha a7b8890e6f Ildo, who was 04696e5f01 choosing delivery food 626acb5f09 on his phone. Come to think 3f5925d059 of it, he 454dc5b0e9 had come home ffc00ddf28 earlier and taken 3418034b24 off all his 22f9bb7eb8 clothes except his b0bfc68148 underwear. Lee Gyeonwoo quietly got 22b4785b0e up from the sofa 0e3b04591a and went to his 6446067edc room. He felt 8eff73de7c Ha Ildo’s adc35ce50d gaze following 87e3b9533a him, but 1086e379bd pretended to 50079c34bb be indifferent.c4142381c1a2fa30

After putting on training 79a8688df6 pants and a short-sleeved 3ce2bcdd40 t-shirt, he returned to 3d37ae072c the living room. Ha Ildo had e0a52924be also changed out f540b4eaa1 of his stuffy 7c1066c7e5 suit and into fb71f17d8a comfortable clothes. He was quiet and 5f97cd6692 quick in his movements. Like a prosecutor, b152c4976f perhaps.f6d91f36b53e30c3
Buried in his fc7a0aa636 work every day, 46b46472f8 Ha Ildo was a020ae34a2 sitting on the 0bd3458f89 sofa, looking at 4b5693f911 documents again. Work after getting 4c41e9e8b5 off work, and 0f344bcad4 then back to 7eeaff4125 work. He was a typical c37ade8d52 workaholic. What did it feel 5d1e04265a like to be immersed 8a83313e4b in something and consistently fb3cd09efa work at it? Lee Gyeonwoo, 0ba968db95 who had 0f1e7b585d lived his 6248dc74ef life haphazardly, f31fe96dbc couldn’t understand.69f23b9bff01cabc

A teddy bear. It was the only item in this house that deviated from Ha Ildo’s taste. He remembered the day he first came to this house. He had been puzzled by the identical teddy bears placed on the living room sofa, in every room including Ha Ildo’s bedroom, and even in the dressing room.3365624f59b99594

If that’s how you get married, there would be no bachelors or spinsters left in the world. Lee Gyeonwoo laughed. Ha Ildo remained silent. He was such a serious man that he never uttered a joke lightly.cc44a0a61530640c
Staring at his tight-lipped ce2ff3d9cd face, just like back 2eddac84ae then, Lee Gyeonwoo kneaded 0afd04e8b4 the bear’s stubby arm.83938a195f03410f

Thwack. As soon as Lee 93e93abf15 Gyeonwoo finished speaking, Ha 6670d4b6c0 Ildo slammed the file 97f8f1a456 down on the coffee 039d64c105 table. The rough gesture clearly d8ab65ee2c expressed his annoyance. It was an 3277f0e9b5 uncharacteristic display of dbf28eee82 emotion.b255d0ac313c2b3f

Ha Ildo 09b0d3f13c stared directly 9fd6041f45 at Lee 6fa2e84308 Gyeonwoo. His dark 69a638e9a9 pupils, nestled 578abaa8b7 within his e6d55d50e6 kind eyes, 07cd489d52 wavered. He was trembling 55064ba128 with betrayal.4c5a7fdef3899d6e

Lee Gyeonwoo slightly 860e8fdc33 narrowed his eyes, 0a6bceb7a4 which had been 10bac82f5f indifferently relaxed. “I can’t let you 14c544abbf go.” Lee Gyeonwoo thought 791caf78f8 Ha Ildo was crossing 2dfc25e291 the line.

Crossing the living room 0aab52a175 connected to the kitchen, 1264bc0051 Lee Gyeonwoo passed the cbab6bbfa2 hallway and reached the cca50803cc front door. He used to cebd6fe4e7 vaguely dream of 8dc51c1bc7 living in a 8a3e4ef1f7 palace-like house, but 9372790179 after actually living bc3a5d56be in Ha Ildo’s 88b94d3481 home, he realized f4b5277b32 that spacious wasn’t 823a398211 all it was c7fe8a780a cracked up to 0255049c65 be. More than 03d2ab6b6b anything, it eb6fbd3b53 was annoying 4aefdb9620 to have a8298988a5 to walk 4c49b24222 such a 23f90fc526 long distance 73bf4c4fd7 just to 05820245c4 receive delivery 15d2c81953 food.3d2f4d56acacff34

Retracing his 672ee13fbe steps, he f385212f37 opened the 7f4d77cd58 heavy bag 3459acced0 and looked 8fd081d492 inside. It was bossam. One of bfd3f40fe6 his favorite 263dbf47a2 foods.8b372b11848077c2
