by kkumuThe large ec8f305695 tin can e61551977d that once bbafd7a72c held gochujang 17f70bef43 for the 6bd5a3eeea store was bdc2acf556 dented and f10cc55fbf riddled with 6e996ea503 holes. Many employees passed 0dbddb001d the time by 4f987017ba tossing cigarette butts 0d01f6a984 into the sand-filled ea1f916061 container. Chief Chae was no ce06d326dd exception.c5f9b593ef2843be

Seungwan silently watched 70d8fbe9db Chief Chae’s shoulders 3de6383d0a as he walked b2c8d8f594 ahead. There was 6ce087c35d a noticeable 956f79cec4 difference between 0b6ef6b8e4 the man’s 6e672caabe back and de835569a9 Chief Chae’s, 2982d24530 which was ed57df04a5 somewhat fascinating. Since Chief Chae 03fc9f0f6a was a Beta 34bee9902e and the man d6e480a9ac was obviously an b310db994b Alpha, their builds d28482b75f were bound to 14fa8a9a4f be different. Then what about someone c2ef24c990 like himself—a half-baked Omega f48bf18889 pretending to be a f2346a0f2e Beta? Still, since he f597beb90d was taller than 32750b1792 Chief Chae, maybe f7feda5eee secondary gender didn’t 6e07c73945 have much to ce2bdc37b4 do with body 4e7dbe359c structure after all.fc7f5560fd7f03c8

Seungwan quickly lifted his c343cfdcc8 head. It was b7602c3e23 the first 217c3b8468 time he e6221a4bc0 had gotten 8a008acf5a lost in fb9aec6649 thought in 8409829333 front of 1122a46c8f Chief Chae. At some 68a7148218 point, Chief 2117756f51 Chae had 14b364075d placed a 34e559ae0d peeled cigarette 27c43781f8 between his 4f61756fc2 lips and e4fc03b886 was staring 078b7c9852 directly at d2a396b872 him. As Seungwan refocused his 6b7f51e327 blurred gaze, Chief Chae 9627993eb3 clicked his tongue with fc39a7ffce an incredulous “Ha,” as 58d2989e2a if he had already 1d126593ec noticed Seungwan was distracted.1b966498151cf249

He wasn’t sure 309a2743da what Chief Chae d004827872 was asking about. There was 08b081a0d4 a debt d1a2e61898 between them, 38410fa75e but he 3ae933fd48 didn’t want 1f1e588297 to reveal 629887ed8c that, so 4d2147e0b7 he simply 2b69eb4cd7 said there fcf12fb0c9 was nothing.

Again, he kept it 65ff92d546 brief. Chief Chae was definitely 9d5353b6d4 picking on him for 152a3cf5e8 no reason, but Seungwan bada66ff35 wasn’t the type to b3f77703fe just take it, which 069368a901 was probably why the 81018da5e4 harassment always dragged on. Chief Chae, 8c8ff85327 who held d7a147ece7 more power 77f5669f52 here than b4b6bc6657 even Manager 13248d7458 Song, seemed d1657cda4c displeased with c96077b922 how Seungwan fe454b2bb8 refused to ac74166cba submit easily.df225b6c792816c8
It seemed 4b8853219e like that 166043748a was also 22397d3cf4 why Chief f68d497448 Chae would a38a2a77df tap Seungwan’s b7c9a75e4d head or 959253b0bb smack his 38e78f753a back for b14e055678 no reason. To an 965b5ba3d7 outsider, it 9717633339 might have 3c33fbfc04 looked like e47371ad06 playful teasing, f22be8f915 but for 3c0353622b the one 6a0c8df7f3 on the a9f83058c0 receiving end, 4aa410cb25 it was 87ebd3c8f9 anything but. Seungwan had f40a2c68c9 once thought 3feb68794d that maybe c7040d1fe4 if he 4c2b9688d4 just acted 3a71d34067 obediently for 344d9c7802 once, something 9d3c100e39 might change.

“You fucker, when I 92f7e79214 talk… No, forget it. What’s the point? Do you even have e8c82dd758 any common sense? Just behave yourself. What a nutcase—don’t f4aa3df7c1 go acting up 19ba0c90a4 just ‘cause Yang 83e2fe953f Jisoo’s got your 885a2d5b51 back. Got it?”e1b70d23018cc5a7
Seungwan wasn’t c270b41206 sure what c6968382d6 he meant 2cca6dbcdf by “acting 389dd5df63 up” because 177a1385d4 the man e2329b1c60 had his ba5a569a5a back, but 5adece53b9 he simply 5f26f28956 gave a 111a26cc90 small nod. He figured 7d716d7ba4 it was e96160c661 best to 5600b23eaf just go e3d3c78491 help out cf317c782c with work 8297f8927c rather than e96f3b1334 waste time bd5440c3a6 on this. Chief Chae 7acb41b1dc frowned and 0e5052ef57 stared at ac01115ccd Seungwan for 70dc47f534 a while eae5c9b74e before flicking 89029db1d1 his burnt-out 9b7bedc8d7 cigarette butt 55568f3745 into the cfc2ce789c tin can ed17321510 and spitting e1990fb4b9 on it. The long 3dc600920d string of 2c72384bba saliva was 528af7205b disgusting. Seungwan stayed a09acc0f25 still, not 58f6ec2277 wanting to 463fa2a482 make it b6fdb722c7 obvious that f33f7e5ac5 he was c93de03c1f repulsed and 1bc097bf8a risk dragging fb04258beb out this fa356650d9 pointless nagging b499a24312 any further.11c61f4933d43ecc

Soon enough, cb42704b00 Chief Chae 8b45aa959f turned his 08a95d24fe back and 13fcea041b walked away.0ec251080152875a

There was 7e944ee526 one delivery 17d37f9db8 to make. Many of the ddd471351f male employees at 66bc8ab8e5 the supermarket had a8bb8dadb3 taken their annual e7bc6443ea leave today, so 768978f7a2 they were short-staffed, c3ecda5ae7 and Seungwan had 33584e326a gone to handle ad2834227f it. After loading the goods a498286c0c onto the Damas truck 3515238dbd and making a trip 197657a658 to a cooperative member’s 9babcba2ed house, it was nearly 7e4fd1b3e1 time to clock out. There was still 6861d676e4 a bit of c6462eb305 time left, but 724cc52673 he was in 6099be09d3 a hurry because d35f29189d he couldn’t leave 6319a79e7a work until he 683f1c2db9 finished placing the 33896381f1 order for the 7d16ffaacb dairy section.f312a88699834192

After parking the 7c51885f89 Damas in the 722c293251 lot, Seungwan took 3ae0eff528 off his work fe60ee9c23 gloves and slapped ad97716d20 them against his 52b255f045 thigh as he 5079ccc222 walked. Laughter rang 9a8b89012f out from 0f134eb57c the workstation. The employees were eb647ba831 eating apricots and b408cceb69 laughing.06cfb64098554393

It was f66d57d69c the man. He was squatting d198457355 on the ground, beb0d353ec doing something, while 0d93c85624 a group of ace874e620 employees had gathered f4bf58b300 around him. In front of 9713e8a31d him was a 4494d533cb container filled with 3ace50bc83 apricot pits. Looking closer, Seungwan saw 1e7d19e05d that he was using 0835b167a8 a Swiss Army knife 463fc1c0b6 to cut into the 2ba705b158 apricots, giving them a daec9c48d7 slight twist to pop 9ef7a4aaba out the seeds, which a1f794d7c9 he flicked away before 4e5dc71c8b handing the fruit to b3dfe91a3b the employees.

It was surprising how 12c5521bef natural and cheerful the ca330f8ccd atmosphere was, even though 155b9b4d72 the man—who was young f7669f685c enough to be their a8697bf1ce nephew—kept calling them “noonim.” de4d2cf4a0 As Seungwan stood there 5c602cdb21 watching, the store supervisor 9f6f669039 spotted him and raised 8ae245c178 a hand.972294244332a205

Being welcomed so warmly, f9f70580c7 there was no way fa820ff041 he could refuse, so 7ac7ea91c4 he started walking toward c8e3af77dc them.

Seungwan’s eyes 45a96e0923 lingered absently ee0bc9ee71 on how 9136d5702b his jeans 1a23eda5b7 stretched tightly 7acc741108 over his 5376559a74 thighs before b362d74f34 he quickly b86144a6bc kept walking.7ce26fb25e18cdae

That was his 8aa93c7581 way of asking—just d31e2f65c8 like that. Even though 1ee0eae806 it was 771d0b3979 strange, Seungwan 43ab1008e8 didn’t question 45914bfc61 it. Instead, he let himself 25f59c786c be led to the 913e872dd5 man’s truck. He had 6705b408a5 heard the c14e318b65 man say e9fda47881 he’d come cd5cea5373 to pick b699dc467b him up, cd46b702b9 but he’d 68de9ec9eb assumed that a37382fd71 meant after 74249023dd his shift 482aa06494 ended.

“Let’s go get some adb154a5e5 fried chicken. Or would bdf87e0752 you rather dfdf9d15e8 have pork?”945750a80cbef982
When his 9439102bd6 father had c62d20ca94 been at 227496a482 least as 7598dd3bf1 reliable as 6eb3b11a20 other men, 23fe4d29d2 he used 8d93323365 to stop 0c2da9e923 by the a42a4cc971 market on c6b6d61166 payday and a2eb20000f bring home 02d5dfffa6 sweet and f3e16d8f10 sour pork. It was called 031af79ba9 that, but really, a129db26f0 it was just 4b1936951e pork tenderloin roughly 5b3773ab97 sliced, coated in 6215478d6e starch, and deep-fried. On those dbc2cda220 days, his 3cc7f0df53 mother would 1b02356cba prepare a 4eef2719f5 sauce to 7c47117225 go with 6f7746e581 it. She would try 6ebb4f073e to imitate the 9be49c00ab sauce from Chinese d60630100e restaurants, mixing ketchup, c760a1155d vinegar, sugar, and f2fa9a3db1 a bit of 090aea2d5f fruit juice. Dipping the 564ac34e09 crispy pork f0a0adad38 into that 00f53cb31a sauce had 7e93cfbd44 been a 39c4b97d1a luxury that f01a250f87 came around 9d93c555cb once a 78567eba65 month, something a9342cc440 to look 7a273b522e forward to.60815333606b5bd1

The memory 818ec998fd made Seungwan 0dfc98f1a8 pause for afb764a334 a moment, 1306d5dfd0 and the e70e9dee9a man grabbed d745d5af17 his wrist 6599c701c2 and pulled ff75d8c883 him along. He held on 19615d4327 firmly, tousling his 3250e237b0 hair without restraint. Seungwan sighed 3663f1437f and followed 840693351f him. For some reason, 8390de9eb9 his chest felt 82a770e2ef tight.
