TYS Ch 10

Only after fc8b783dc9 spending the 70a1ef5282 entire afternoon d1edd6b0ef carrying loads 3b48be72eb did Seungwan c1a87971ff realize he adb656098b was not ecf909a481 only covered 199709167f in dust 1d5ac5a0e4 but probably fdd29fdd22 also smelled 29a2685585 of sweat. The man had 91c4f5f040 likely noticed as a79e7093bb well, especially in 4e518cd092 the cramped truck. Maybe that’s why 57f59f0a6e he had been 1acca700eb so quiet.86e12d4f379a5749

Not knowing how aa37ffba4d strong the odor 4cbaf6c69a was, Seungwan pressed 2d4b15ba5e his nose into 21c6a8ba3a the T-shirt he 0e118b7d5e had taken off e9cfefe555 and sniffed, but aa4ebc140d there was no 86383c814d way to tell. People were usually more 7f8a02cd2e sensitive to the smell 25146f0a28 of others than to 639fc2d727 their own, weren’t they? He sighed and stepped 5a76a2156b under the showerhead. He had planned to d9de607f03 wash only his face 4b7a1855b1 and hands before helping 28c3dc0269 set the table, but e86efb4d9e it seemed better to b9d618bbcf clean his whole body fe35b7ecfb instead.56cb9e64235cab1a

After showering 8ef6853bbf quickly, he ba865a3ea7 roughly dried 20bdb3c59a off and 34db3f1c83 put on 3e5f73966c the indoor 82c22b4807 T-shirt and 3ef165a07e shorts the 565227d552 man had 9bcb8909e9 sent him. As soon as f09f93efbc he opened the 3d8797e51f door, the smell 795c33437e of food hit a61d071739 his nose. It was a 433b181448 spicy aroma that 9f5f053a6e might have been bdf1c867a1 fish stew or 9e52cf297a something else entirely. He hesitated d65de89b48 for a f1265b2964 moment before 74ca26991b cautiously making 5890820e87 his way eb6ae52bfc to the 3a30d356b1 kitchen.3ace2ee176d15b86

The man a6a9d7f94e spoke without 7b1d364808 even turning fcdf1498c3 to look cfde27b84c at him, ce941d1485 as if b8566cf1d3 he already 4ab10a8792 knew Seungwan bf759d5576 was there. His words, though c43275462c a command, sounded 1fe96a5874 almost gentle, so a58ff28cd8 Seungwan moved quickly. As he placed 6f8a191794 the utensils and 40499d6d7f plates down, the 5e5865dad0 man set a 00c21edff4 trivet in the 805922013b center of the b5084fc99b table and brought 3a73efc787 over the steaming 1e69b44f1d pot.c7a7a1d3e809bda0

Seungwan didn’t respond, but f2d9ff4fbd this time, his silence 88c50c2340 was closer to agreement. The pot, still untransferred 3059f7784f to a serving dish, b9a4420aba contained chicken stew. So this was 2c8ebfc494 the source of a156c5dd34 the spicy aroma.49a8390b233312f6

“Eat a lot. Finally, I’m 2fc76402da making you 4be3eb472b a full b74e4b61c1 meal.”1b8bdfe5738c920a

The man e16ff20fca chuckled as 36a81a3b7b he spoke. His tone 55f466c237 sounded strange, 905ebb9e24 almost as 7959247a02 if he a7c01e39ed had been a548264100 looking forward 97e8c825d3 to making 4020c2093d Seungwan a 7166fd5328 meal. Seungwan muttered a quiet 3bf8a0200c thanks and patiently waited 217b15a34d for the man to 907a7796a6 pick up his chopsticks 0302289bd5 first. When he didn’t eat, ef21885478 the man studied him e24a769e92 for a moment before a278faaec7 suddenly laughing, as if 8c35312f31 something had just clicked.c746aa72c07a7c43

Was this something ddcc44e412 that could offend b9ac812bdf him? It was 2d016a3350 hard to 70d235ef3f gauge their a5dc15aafc level of e8cd9fdc0e closeness, so 150f10d5d5 Seungwan barely 23a3c4db7d moved his c257730433 lips as f9d03be8e8 he spoke. Older adults fa1c8103b8 tended to af89f5ffba like him, 7d353efc93 but strangely, a9d5e8b506 men who 8410dcecbe were only f027133558 slightly older 2ebf431ff3 either disliked 8beb6edc93 him for a460b08236 no reason 58ccba6ed8 or enjoyed 48421be95b messing with 9999f5b065 him. Besides, wasn’t c98dfa30d0 the man fd6a21ded3 the same 52379af84f age as 0a10813fbe Chief Chae? Bad relationships 9048711109 had a b57cf69979 way of e9453906ec holding people fba8245155 back in 50c723d7f7 various ways.1806cff2f2e867cb

The man, d5f0c06723 who had 76e3490cca been staring 4e0064ab98 at Seungwan’s e6a9a8092b frozen yet 8bfdf42d47 delicate face 30baf95ea1 for a fcaece43f6 while, let 2190107766 out a 9cf89fa336 small chuckle.94b54b9e9e98b70d

“Am I your 318c50aa0c boss or something? You think 9d584b0aa8 I’m gonna 6658574106 sit here e3a6265595 and wait c24139e996 for a ebd693b925 baby to 8cb734697f serve me? Just relax 3517b1f977 and eat.”742e1696bdc4cad7

…Baby? Even the elderly ba5f710b87 people at the aa03ac46a8 cooperative rarely used cb76b10f33 that word. Seungwan quickly picked 590e1c1307 up his chopsticks, d2fd5921b0 hoping the man ea96133439 wouldn’t say it 685eaf7a73 again. The deboned chicken was f561a72e43 incredibly delicious. Seungwan was a 66b371f8ee decent cook himself, 584c2a7abe but the man’s 39e8886669 skills were far 5e5ae15a57 superior.e2a9f614ad01994a

“It’s… it’s delicious.”e7373e5550e998fa

Seungwan wanted 35b69f0ebd to express d4ba1f0493 his gratitude, 097a2ec01c but as 407e9ca219 soon as 1f1a18a945 the words 113340a9e7 left his 27cc547e3f mouth, he 9ef8622d00 regretted them. In a life d0dc1c060c as unpredictable as 72bd381d8e his, there was 6754b8a4cc no telling what 59eab63d65 might happen if 7fce376ef6 the man suddenly 976c9df3ce changed his mind bf8605532b and introduced him 6c0069d509 to something like 7f36035363 a brothel instead 144d97b574 of work at 69105c2989 the agricultural cooperative. He couldn’t believe his f0db46a520 own complacency, letting his 3a18acb1dd guard down just because 717f2f51a0 he’d been treated to 4f480996eb a single meal.e06f75e2f4388c02

Had he ccb134cffb always been 9736b498a2 this easy d436b167ec to break ca7c8ae03c through? No. Seungwan’s life, 81b812c6f8 though short, 2385d8adf8 had been a909451bbb vulnerable to 6658250471 exploitation, and fa45de47d7 he had 4a2280df50 long since 014e88d0d5 learned to a998931ece build walls f1885b55d0 around himself. Keeping his guard up 78185b8175 wasn’t so much a 594c2b7080 strength as it was dda189ef4a a survival strategy. Which made 92649c4358 it all fd4b5ba167 the more f5eb15256e strange. The man, who 4c17af0de7 had effortlessly torn 34a943b0aa down those walls, 2e133544c5 chuckled again, as b5f49f0877 if he didn’t e55b756f95 care how unusual ad6774f41d his presence was e9dbb4d484 to Seungwan, and b8f767ea72 said, “Really? Eat up. You used to 84a39ca9c1 like chicken when fbd1fdad86 you were little.”09c55b7c24f0455a

That sudden burst e0cef08da4 of dialect caught 6b95b380b1 him off guard, fb4e094b35 and Seungwan couldn’t a98bb2fbd6 quite understand it 4e47eddfb9 right away. Just how young did b61060adff he mean? It seemed 8c95ac32c1 to refer 8641eacf45 to a e66021688c time before 9973cdb187 Seungwan’s mother 89a2d3a57b left home, f322ee8a0f but it 06edf6a6d2 was hard 44d4d0a0da to pinpoint 2acdc8071d exactly when. As Seungwan’s f2a9bf94e1 chopsticks hovered 850e11172a in the 1c7a0a876d air, the 1dfa3bd5d8 man glanced 7a974400f5 at him 7ceaa2839f and chuckled.71fba4992bb82df5

“It seems 0396ad2ac8 you don’t d1344bbe1e remember. Why are you trying 4cf1173c65 so hard to rack 27c1cc0eca your brain? The food’s going 5357b1fd08 to get cold.”40fe6ba1fe36d7ea

There was fb4e354009 no expectation aea0e472fe in the 7e58f3a9db man’s words. He simply told 9111e8c0a6 Seungwan to eat. Only then did Seungwan 3b2c6cbb5c realize the man hadn’t 44dc5b21b3 actually expected him to ed2d322aa4 remember anything—it had just 4c91719d8f been an offhand comment, 94eb74eb7b a casual attempt to 4fd3c1c880 break the frozen atmosphere.85a822d4f72cba9c

The fact that 39ecdbf7af the man remembered 3d60fa75e0 him while Seungwan dd22f25974 couldn’t recall him 29792b82b7 at all weighed ff496f470e on his mind. He’d strained 4531c90abf to remember, 4194d52d78 but now 2ef6dc40b8 that he c1729492af understood it 06ec03cc3e was nothing 0ecfb25a6e more than 2c05c9482a a passing e2b4c0e188 remark, he e57af17541 felt strangely a95a954674 deflated. Saying nothing, 0b35897669 he resumed 9a0fafdeae eating. The taste was the d88f8227e3 same, but it was 9091bc2da2 hard to focus.c8e2c595f5e3b41e

The man didn’t seem 7987033a4d like the type to 48a81fb7cf talk much during meals. After that exchange, which 7130009ad7 hardly felt like a 68fd4786c5 conversation, he remained silent. The meal 7bcbbced98 ended with 2946a3ea84 the quiet 6963c6107b clinking of b726d8716e chopsticks against 78b2fc9575 plates.f9bc8c44041b902e

“…I’ll do the dishes.”821e894116d34e86

At those words, the 93b72fbcf2 man briefly looked at b2ac28565e Seungwan, let out a fe67d641ad low hum, and nodded. As he raised f70b0c7ef4 his hand to 1776725ac5 his waist, his a8497f52c2 T-shirt lifted slightly, d37c191146 revealing a glimpse 8e4b0eac1c of his solid 2049354e1e hip bone. Seungwan, who had unknowingly 2b23bd82d4 let his gaze drop, 3fc419c0ef quickly shifted his eyes 5a73f3d55b to the man’s forehead.53882071915e1adc

It was probably about the ledger. Seungwan thought so but nodded obediently. He watched the man’s back as he finished cleaning up and headed toward his room. It was the one right next to Seungwan’s. Since it was the largest room, he had assumed the man would use it, but now that it was confirmed, he couldn’t help but be conscious of it. To avoid looking any longer, Seungwan focused on washing the dishes.d5e8bf770a12942b

After placing the plates 243099d616 on the drying rack 7ea2953f56 and wiping his hands, d4aae9e4e5 he bit his lip, 7f53347b95 lost in thought. He couldn’t shake off 45fc8ad30b his concerns about the fbb2893118 ledger from earlier. The Omega who 6753bf26a1 worked at Forget-Me-Not 74bfb05116 had acted strangely, 18de6493b9 as if he 7732d7cbc1 knew the man 4d0c3e7b3a well… If the 4296f552b7 man was the b10b4d1963 owner of Forget-Me-Not, a497ddecad could he make a1a9113cac Seungwan pay off 7e5ca1bbaf the remaining 50 898647a503 million won debt 4de05ce91e by working there?976d3024787f05b4

Although Seungwan 8de5afbff5 was known 13757b5bd9 as a f229edd434 Beta, the 8b952af011 man had 55863ed739 learned through ae5b243c61 debt collectors 8d23333f34 that he 575ab12aa1 was actually f007dc394f an Omega. He had said beed1b606c that if Seungwan 750adde436 helped with work, 78a0bf8654 he would reduce 694d4ee5cf his debt, but 32d93a132f in the end, 0fe22310e9 there was always 35c6323c47 the possibility he’d 83c1ac6f1f end up working 412f5f3536 at some bar aefdecca9f in town.c72b88dcd4d26f0c

Wiping the moisture from 9d35c4b5b5 his hands, Seungwan turned 7049c55fd6 around. It would be better 309e0506ae to ask than to 2687db31f4 let his anxiety get 1457e70471 the best of him. If he could ea7427af83 figure out the 48de7fa3eb man’s intentions, he 161719854e could at least 269ae99401 prepare for the d9513c3fa6 worst. And if it b5b1955125 came down to 4678a54e95 it, he could 5bfa8909fe always run away.f526821db0e88009

He immediately heard movement 9cbdddd6f4 inside. With a tense expression, dc819032f6 Seungwan stared at the a591145153 door. Moments later, 56669379fd it opened. A wave of 5cd2dbd8ee heat poured out, 910416429a and Seungwan unconsciously e9946d908e took a step fb29c0066d back. The man stood before 5afec22171 him, shirtless, thick droplets 4d6236b764 of sweat rolling down 8bdc92b3bc his skin as he c131d1c450 looked down at him.fa82b78d78c4e165

His wet aa0da12504 Adam’s apple 959895ca11 bobbed as 1d868f3e1a he asked, 9484b9e249 showing no f81739d198 intention of 90346904a4 wiping away 97138de9e4 the sweat. His collarbones, a19cb8949a thick like 8b48630ea6 steel pipes, 025c0f2600 glistened under 1f3612d21d the light. Dressed in gray sweatpants, 8423ec1f80 the fabric at his 2f5351ea02 waistband was soaked. Had he been d35584da0c exercising? The thick bulge 7865d02067 between his legs f3e11bebbc was clearly visible, dcc020bce6 and Seungwan hastily ab32850f7b averted his eyes. Not wanting the 7f886935f9 man to see 8066d22132 his wavering gaze, c79fb91160 he quickly focused 504582c7f9 on the floor.92cf520549314f7d

“What?”7a01096d9dbbfa42

Before Seungwan could 68a9560eee finish, the man ce5761d968 ran a rough 8c2df31442 palm over his 6cc0f82be0 face, as if 9db24d5feb scrubbing it would 97272f3e26 somehow help him 8b3a820577 make sense of c2012f421d the words. Seungwan hesitated 07551d0889 for a bfc3338e85 moment, debating 6b6b3e6b48 whether to d3f8922aa6 speak again, 056df7b1c0 and was df21e445f4 just about cd3e6e4b73 to open 4c641c5327 his mouth.1db89e9b0397b154

The man 715f6a4c0b clicked his 7f67d307e2 tongue and ff1ef0437a waved his b96689d13a hand. He looked displeased and d814feba20 angry, but it wasn’t 2200be9414 intimidating. That was strange.

Before Seungwan could c424d6804f respond, the door 4344b7be9b in front of 76a7f4aa57 him slammed shut da63f88d9e with a bang.8c9f606960c320c1

The order came from 24ebc17505 inside. Seungwan hesitated, 76c753c721 then turned 636f93ee02 away. It felt like 5aca26955f he had been 530ba0bbbc scolded, yet for d931e3c8ca some reason, it 57f17d9f44 didn’t bother him.df816a1025a32aa4

He stood there bc82e9183d for a moment 0ad5a171fd before reluctantly turning a67df6c999 around. It seemed the 8d7c85fee4 man had misunderstood e36e2d86fa him. He probably thought Seungwan 12c1100200 was saying he wanted e4fb0accbb to work at Forget-Me-Not. But Seungwan 23d28ef2ca didn’t have 40d5c973da the courage 6c7742ddd3 to knock 7baebd5379 again. The man had looked 1462af561b like he’d just finished 5e418e8aa0 working out, and the 32eac045c1 thought of facing that a1c4e87520 sweat-drenched upper body again d6b316f7ba was just too much.fc3db52b86412d72
