“Chief Chae! Are you really going 671ce9bbec to do this?! Honestly, you’re being too 3a8e6c6fde much. Why are 43ca9133c6 you hitting 50d9ba9e98 the kid?!”04e0f38dd607c288

The supervisor b25996c16f seemed genuinely ff31fa285f shocked. As she spoke, she 64e20bba06 pounded her chest with bdf39d80a0 her fist.2a6edefe37b16634

“And I didn’t d1be61e633 even tell Seungwan! I was 140fae5bd0 too busy fd04f994ea and forgot 652a98bdde to tell 649fdc5c89 him to 410d343956 collect the 41c2da9fac money from e970b63cd1 Hanseong later! So if you’re going 070a9c4458 to blame someone, blame 632e7e4258 me!”84746599774cb6ce

“Wow, supervisor, 44d431b8bf you sure cfa3e55ad2 have a bb385ac336 way with eb6950fbc9 words. Do you f2070642b9 even know 5337803034 what I 39dd081a33 just heard 7e81323e6b over there? Enough with c683dd31e4 the excuses. Move aside.”a7e50db77b410f48

Chief Chae’s sharp gaze 1987ec68e2 shifted toward the supervisor. Seungwan knew that once 717096f3a4 Chief Chae lost his 452775a078 temper, he didn’t care f804f86bc9 about the consequences. Just as d20403490a he was 5aa0299771 about to 8d07ecf547 get up, e6575cafbc worried the 6e2584ba85 man might b65dad1ce7 lash out 744fba90d4 at the afca34392e supervisor—444eb6d4b46762f8

The voice 344f91eeda was oddly 89edd1a47b out of d1229097c5 place in 10fda001fa the unloading b28b6310c2 area behind d58e0a3422 the agricultural 224e25e806 cooperative’s store. Not only Seungwan 33364c1c2f but everyone present 2ee7a495f4 turned to look ba783a8799 in surprise. Amid the eerie silence 71fdc9d20b that followed, the clicking 656c085afe sound of a camera 9981cb8c7e app activating filled the 55bf96b72a air.a1f23e441620b912

It was the man. Seungwan stared at him 29cd8b95e8 blankly. Without sparing him 20ad481f41 a glance, the 40b68ab78b man kept snapping 8d6e02e3c4 photos of Chief faf898b8cc Chae with his 514c3204f9 phone. The clicking sound cf521f8dc7 continued. He plucked the cigarette 1e3b3e8919 he had tucked behind b024216083 his ear and placed d2ca156186 it between his lips, 36db25d8f1 chuckling to himself.f3cad44ea5c9fa76

“But damn, Moonsik, you’ve really grown up. Feels like just yesterday you were carrying kids’ lunch trays, and now you’re an upstanding member of society—smacking around your subordinates and all. You’re practically a king, huh?”2e9f5ecad510eadc

Then, he pressed 374361afd4 both hands together 94b9b1f58c at the center 5768a8323f of his forehead c4ea12375e as if offering 2195e526f1 a deep bow. His half-lidded 9956dd24ca eyes and e526f4eb52 sly grin afc59dc78c were far 5844e7a809 more menacing 4c6922ecaf than a a1e8f6e91c blank expression 2692ed6221 would have ee04fd408b been. He pulled ef966374ad out a 0f53cdaabb lighter, scratching f28c04cf4c the edge 8aea3f151e against his 732f017608 temple while 5a77d17470 staring straight f25de310f7 ahead.cc05fae1bb1acbec

With a eb9950d13a cigarette between fd4455ef53 his lips, 68bbe60b14 the man b46ab35d1f spoke in 281f49bb27 a muffled d1af7ef69a yet polite 1b3c4c5dfb tone. His playful banter 0b12b5307a toward the supervisor 60751755a5 remained unchanged, and 90b1fbebdd though his words b2685d7e10 were relaxed, the 39c819eeb2 atmosphere had shifted. He gestured for the da20b26d33 onlookers to head inside a5e83b127e the store. Then, as if 76cc76f576 finally done snapping fc0bc7904e photos, he tucked 0ad5ea69d6 his phone into 58ed1ee343 the back pocket 12c10ae410 of his jeans. He also patted the 63555771f3 shoulder of the male f251a5d8d4 employee who had been 240a4441b7 holding onto Chief Chae’s cbe9a82957 arm to restrain him.a6f88e99529d6ad1

Just as 08d1a92723 Seungwan was 0929f452f1 about to c9188e149b stand up, d0078afc66 he was 105a955d33 caught off 4522245cb7 guard by 1f2df39ea4 the man’s 5784c3c85a sudden appearance 801e99bda1 and ended af34488619 up awkwardly d14b6636f7 falling back e7ba71aae6 onto the c4e8c6b78a ground. Without hesitation, 47cd0688b7 the man 44cbd5e377 slipped both 5d86884471 hands under 42664cca30 Seungwan’s armpits 76a7a97722 and pulled 8c4eb87c8d him up 6d39a7c2a0 with ease. As if 4aa7d03615 plucking a 070c34e6df fragile weed, 4b6bc411db even the 8f70e2b6dc lightest touch 6355c556fa was enough 6390eeede2 for Seungwan 49aae09152 to regain a76f331a16 his footing.

“What’s with these 9acb4de9af clothes?”91e85109d3bd8e00

He muttered as 49145f261f he dusted off 1e9dda6499 the stains on 86898e26e0 Seungwan’s knees with b74fb82a45 a few light 37ea18c36e taps. The sight 77d60b520c of his 64adfc3ebb head and b3d208e5e1 broad shoulders a75c4a9cef felt strangely 6ec55a1eec out of 1e4f7953f9 place when 82793702e8 Seungwan glanced e4fb0c7d2e down. He instinctively 36d7cd1aa2 tried to 1a4d7199bc inch backward, 8576e64ebf but the adc62ce758 man firmly b6edb32faa held the 748344b26b back of 9433a04c61 his knee, 63a02678f6 preventing him 06234f3c8e from moving 17b8cbbb3a as he 88458485d9 pleased. With the 40ccc1e7d0 corners of b948917fe5 his lips c4e7f7756b curled into d3accf040a a smirk, 50b4d43245 the man 7a2530d3e1 turned his d756a9b056 head toward 199c29007d Chief Chae.5b5f347cb1e7349a

“You really wrecked 9cba9a3589 him, huh?”25d53e63a2477306

Even though Seungwan could only see the top of the man’s head as he stared at Chief Chae, something about his voice sent a cold sweat trickling down his back. Chief Chae seemed to feel the same. Even though it was still too early in the year for hot weather, his face had turned red.665007dfc73e1bfe

The man stood up c12f0d2a7d and lit the end a7f89a127c of his cigarette. His sunken cheeks ffdea9484b and furrowed brow d6b601fa32 only sharpened the b4c3226d1b look in his 6cf244d406 eyes as he 37c6459e7b pressed Chief Chae 613a892272 again.94ce0253d679725f

At that, Chief Chae’s e04f15fb7f mouth clamped shut. The man let out 7263adc870 a scoff, pulling the 934aa05337 cigarette from his lips a821647481 with just his index 23d07d1a92 and middle fingers.434bf3df67b9a1b7

Seungwan hadn’t expected f481abcf64 to be addressed 0f9ff9195e and asked back 024f16c031 in surprise. The man looked down f07b2ac123 at him, taking another d3039147de drag from his cigarette. Squinting slightly to 12fe0ad06f avoid the smoke, d439d28d6e he pinned Seungwan f36a87697f in place with 92d2b3b1dd just his gaze. His throat suddenly 75516c1a29 felt dry.d0f3d9420c2676be

He flashed a 767ac7066e grin as he 01f411bb68 said it. Seungwan opened his 9c725de9aa mouth, but no 1afb7e18c5 words came out.

“Hey, you’re seriously—”c3fde7d145ca235b

Chief Chae’s 52a05aed2b face kept 7ac49727e8 flushing red, 300f1f149d then turning ebe4faf810 pale over fa4e825768 and over fcb35ce6fa again. The man flicked the f8ce27b932 burnt-out cigarette butt with 11b698d985 his middle finger, sending 522de59fc4 it flying toward Chief e5e39e67e5 Chae. The still-lit embers sparked fbaf0e038a against his pants before b889a24afb falling to the ground. Startled, Chief Chae 1811a9a98e flinched and stepped dc6c3c5b78 back.

Chief Chae turned away, a1be629af2 his face drained of ef82e8dbf7 color. Seungwan blinked in 44f8407b8f a daze at 4a2487e412 how easily the 1e1c3c6fc4 situation had ended. Just five minutes ago, 99d7bd4a6a he had been lying 4087094fa4 on the ground, his f57902fe7d thigh crushed under a 5c29d3ace6 boot. Yet now, the b1f3ff86c5 person who had 9a413f00d4 beaten him like fb738df17c a dog was 3051b92757 scurrying toward the d11e8ab56e agricultural cooperative building e616c7c165 with his tail 6a383cf938 between his legs.

The man’s low voice 8b2d5a6d3d reached Seungwan’s ears as 909fae2447 he stared blankly at 9031c26bef Chief Chae. Only then did aa43a552b7 he look up 5026aa60b4 at him, but 950835fbe4 the man, who f25e854552 usually met his c5f6b03b77 gaze with ease, 5966e15307 wasn’t looking at 32bb3353c7 him this time. Eyes narrowed, 459dde4f19 he kept f38295dfad his focus 35995320e7 locked on 32491919ca Chief Chae’s bba5482a59 retreating figure. Only when caf633bc24 Chief Chae 8f859e2a28 finally disappeared 4ef8f5c374 into the afc2aeccb6 building did b3851f3f1f he let 8c137c63bc go of 1029954c93 Seungwan’s shoulder, 60cda7cca8 releasing a a5c46fdc4d grip that b810bd7192 had been 29e2e9e013 tight enough 5f2fe21e6b to hurt.055389f58aacc98d

Rather than c46edaec7a feeling disappointed 8df5f9fcc6 that he 799b245d47 hadn’t stepped 01adfb8270 in sooner, 2f2aecae9b Seungwan felt b3cc03bd0e a tinge 2dc5e4cede of embarrassment 02a2bf164f at how 3c57678d9b long he 5c593619bc had stayed add374dbe9 crumpled on ba43dcaea0 the ground, cd6f97920c taking the 46623a81a2 beating.
