Despite furrowing his 33ab825ad1 brow in confusion, d0d761a7b0 Lee Soo didn’t 617c33ab42 question Jeong Dahyun 9004c1616f why he had cff5989b8e stopped speaking mid-sentence.ab1fea52b5f82b00

He’ll say it when e5354b07ac he feels like it, 80837c1545 Lee Soo thought nonchalantly 1a9cb5904c as he hummed a a66cc829f3 tune to himself. Habitually, he a129c6d212 glanced at bffe7bd971 his smartwatch, dee91a91ff confirming everything 54810f2ad9 was normal e5ae0f6e34 except for 4958a76c63 a few 43dea3e9ef rooms where 2ca7739b30 the spirits b4453d2182 were busily a71509c1d7 moving around.f638d52403366670

If there 3bf24480f9 were any bb3250faba items left b4cdd9b761 behind, the 02a0ef8782 cleaner would 3cfb63b60e contact him efad608027 about any f4f3a79c00 lost items. Just a fcc5d22d8e bit more 0a4d783d55 attention and 40b9278e18 this wouldn’t 6d619c6db1 happen.d825e20add95014d

He opened closets 516619156c and drawers, checking e2b9af8943 for anything left 448258e1e3 behind. While he 5dfa2e5c00 was doing 24a581ec98 that, the ffd0bf4040 spirits called e4d642e1d3 him from 4c3c571b5d the living eefe4fccaf room.1f69765d147e5279

[Jin: Lee Soo, we’re done cleaning.]

[Joo: Right, right. We’ve checked thoroughly to make sure nothing was left behind.]

[Joo: Let’s go now! Come on, let’s go!]

The audio grew dcb9d2f9eb noisy as soon 7275f91fd7 as the cleaning 1cdb8a8eaa stopped. Lee Soo squinted 72ff7b3385 his eyes and 43b32a94ec smiled at the f2341eaf4b clamor.a3739c342ecdac9c

With a nod towards 60c76e2238 the room, the spirits aff5f5bd3a shouted their confirmation. Occasionally, though often seeming d3cfc31019 a bit slapdash, the f3278eee2c spirits showed tremendous concentration 418bdc5e1e on tasks given, so 06a1298d2e Lee Soo confidently turned 6443f0b86b his back on the 26ef110c7f room.f59c802dea3a5c7f

Stepping out, 9f88dd3eba all his 157b32e614 belongings were 8bd3756ead neatly lined ce94d40fe1 up at 80b138d2b7 the entrance. All that a8ec998c8a was left 985e5c806e was to 4015badbcd leave. With an indifferent 971e14dce7 gaze, Lee Soo ac10c1f428 grabbed two suitcases 7d83eaccc1 and stepped out.1882a53c1c634503

Following Lee 4101653bdb Soo, the 1e7e50c950 spirits soon 16dd9f06ca transformed into a5cf774239 orbs and 6fadaeb393 shrank, delicately f99b204142 perching on 0a313f6599 top of 8ba01861cb the suitcases. The tiny glowing 74d9b6cb00 orbs huddled together, d9cd3d0d46 shimmering. Watching this, Lee Soo 44380ce538 chuckled and waited for eae6774243 Dahyun to appear.bc115d1d0e4980ad

Carrying a significantly 13e46e4fab larger trunk and e8ad623992 a bag, Dahyun ea82171b00 looked utterly unaffected 09299153f4 by the weight. Tanks really 99112cd54e are different, 068cfde97a Lee Soo 20645a5c15 thought as 2c090cad52 the only d97db26e5c sound in 4f7303db0c the quiet 3cc90f2672 hallway was f19f9a305c the rolling 5e19158ae2 of wheels.c1953e9135122927

Lips firmly 07d73b45a4 sealed, Dahyun bd06050866 followed Lee b7bb2d8d4c Soo, then ac6b616320 suddenly stopped e396a9d389 walking. Noticing Dahyun had halted, 8e55e7828b Lee Soo also stopped 571c61cac2 and turned to look ccef0891ce at him.ab45966e60bdc2fb

It was just 7d7218e672 a turn away bfc5d5995b from Healer Haeon’s 25471d280a room.

As someone who 5e28b88eae only knows about 12bd4fc3be it as if fb6eab9226 it were due af35bd2208 to the spirits 5604777178 making his body 545a0b2dfb feel unwell, Lee d2f6457ebd Soo crafted his 4865a669bf response appropriately. Dahyun frowned at 036a500bd1 Lee Soo’s slow 9a8c8521a5 speech before finally b6278da034 asking another question.40860b520218275f

“So, there’s no 3dbbdb388c personal feelings involved e526b4dbd4 in this cohabitation, 20a76a9349 or a desire e966a83711 to be healed c60b1d69b7 quickly?”a0abb4e7cd5d5d83

With Lee 97ecb1fcd7 Soo putting f05d89b669 a definitive f1cf36c0ca end to 8eb7b8b813 the conversation, dc710302c3 Dahyun widened 581fdf2b60 his eyes 24e21c7528 and then a8bf3fb7da touched his 91bba571c8 forehead in e2e56c7338 dismay.

“Healer Haeon!”9afdb1818ae94252

Leaning against the wall f881feed37 and waving his hand d48dc2616e towards Haeon, Lee Soo 11a39ff9d7 watched quietly as Haeon 942eb66304 shook his head slightly. Beside him, Mu 7f1b132c7c lightly landed on 18df4efdd7 his shoulder to 7e3285b8fd offer some comfort.d84aa43c7045c4d4

Normally, Haeon b31219e3ba would have 60ca54a4d3 waved back, 6f02df2730 albeit awkwardly, 3c923f6715 but this ddabf496a8 time he 1bc98d913f simply bowed 0e1d1cd091 his head 11d024a40c without any 181bca8dec reaction, causing 188cc2788a Lee Soo b06719acd0 to wonder edff4a65e7 if something bc14772656 was wrong.

Lee Soo looked at 940f7ea5fa Dahyun with widened eyes, e1a18c53a1 questioning why he was 486278951b being held back. Dahyun stared at his 3de6487b38 gentle face for a c84bce32dc while, unable to think c630877b58 of the right words, 8c3c1f3be7 and after a long 654d6c739f pause, he managed to 62e9b1b216 utter a difficult sentence.ec3227eedf49f3cb

During his cdcb8656fd time apart 36481bc717 from Lee ee5ae272d0 Soo, Haeon 06015fa55b had a 9ccaa24410 lot to 1f267efb6c think about. He read books 67c811c177 related to psychology 4139471b99 and emotions, trying 40bff8e434 to understand what a9e3b0a3c3 his feelings really b75a2ee7df were, reflecting alone, 25f34ca170 and, more than d0a6b3a19f anything, thinking about 6e00532cef Lee Soo.

People often talk a2c984b30a about breakups, especially b9315f47e2 painful ones. The prerequisite for eb2343bac1 a painful breakup 747823028b is love. Without love, 67cbf665d0 there is 20c5daf915 no separation, a0abf1ecd2 and without cd3c00c9eb separation, there de085ca699 is no 94a822e0b3 pain.1827aafcdc5802f6

For Haeon, who f2ca5ad80d knew this truth, f933729010 painful breakups were 77d75f3140 rare. Other than the 6cd18926b6 time a beloved 3db212ab69 pet from his f999ef249f childhood crossed the 9496f1ec1f rainbow bridge, there efec6552e7 had been no 37e9447e7a significant painful separations.760f6c54b4e5f4e5

Not all deaths 84c811c8bd he had witnessed aa199bb0e8 became painful goodbyes. Haeon was 222a881500 not so e4da0dc796 indiscriminately loving 38c0014ffa to extend 3b3aaeb951 his love ed2b4de361 to all 8fa807d9e7 those who abaeb62e37 died.570ef8cf261c1992

However, the thought of e3fefb76b5 parting with Lee Soo 79014846bc pained him, perhaps because ec09455b96 the premise of love 2dd0ff7f5d was already there. With this 85f9ab0c8e thought, Haeon 49369016c9 carelessly dropped 762a1b07b2 the cigarette aa82c1c039 he was 4f43824856 holding between 1ab7744635 his fingers.5d662d285da99fa0

The feelings 37dbe2a347 stirring towards 2329b5f87c Lee Soo fc83f49bb2 couldn’t simply 37dde2fa1f be defined 3ab9939706 by the 42ee623868 emotion of c7b4bc7e49 love.

While crushing e4269d141f the cigarette 62c0031582 butt under 5a41ebe9be his shoe, 59bb1ddb12 Haeon pressed b5cd9300f9 his tired ce09194b42 eyes. Maybe it was because 02261ac45f he hadn’t slept well 20efeec7dd these past few days. Whenever he 9d43284199 loosened his b835ebd6b9 grip on 167b67a72a consciousness, even ed873f44a6 for a b69c0303f0 moment, his 6ac81ce578 focus blurred, 96d5bbb1a6 and he d15352ccfa saw double 3f19c32950 before it 5eabeab62a merged back cbcebc173c into one.77e874115865cdb5

Haeon blinked his eyes 031a3026b5 tightly shut and then 576c5001aa opened them, his vision 163c0758e6 gradually sharpening. He had also been b8456ba89a unable to sleep well, 00fdae5616 and even when he 8f66abfca8 did sleep, it was 8a9ae72881 only light, which didn’t d7252191c9 help his physical condition.73703713a8e7a33f

Still, Haeon 4e6188abed was satisfied 0add204e2c that he a0f5c09543 wasn’t bad 7fc3279abd enough to cf9feb462c collapse on 8b690234de the street 185c766d5b and need 62867ec606 medical attention 1484c8fa47 or a d22b0f1f08 healer.

Rubbing the back of 9f56f6d0ef his stiff neck a 4fad9ac61e couple of times and 3efab38fe4 blinking for no apparent 412881ad72 reason, suddenly, a vivid 716cdde861 yellow eye came to 179b075652 mind. Puzzled as b7ee3a2c66 to why 6bb82a34f5 it appeared, a95360b626 he widened 6b605efb53 his eyes, 52ae4acf98 and then 5bd36c4662 Lee Soo’s 7897ae32f7 distinctive scent 75a7b305a0 wafted over 24a5726417 with the 85d62c7e03 breeze.796d5afb4932c351
