The man either had ab879aff5d no particular thoughts about 26384e44f8 it or simply didn’t a7195ca553 care about Seungwan’s embarrassment, 662ae585f7 as he only gave cb880834cc a small nod.5891ff4f7d196ea8

There it was again—that 693c5e487b joke about treating Seungwan’s 08685a7c71 workplace like an elementary e00f01d1f4 school. With a small 0de4596880 sigh, Seungwan turned c6085924bc to leave. But then c434fc2161 something crossed 3b0efe8d3f his mind, 92c0972a44 and this c2cafbbdeb time, he 058423e831 made sure bc00eab3d5 to say ed42f965a4 it aloud.bd7bc259f0dad988

The man 40e3e6b7f5 still said 9e9dc6ecea nothing, his 9c92742b85 silent gaze 5b23bcd4b9 unwavering. Unable to b7003b3ee1 meet his 9a51e0abfc eyes, Seungwan c176b04a71 fixed his 05d1fcc0cf stare somewhere 8dffd0b1c5 near his ce438f8f69 shoulder. His eyes traced the 2e509c23ef thick collarbones set like f115573acc iron pipes in his c9455596db frame. His broad shoulders 4df894cdd8 stretched the fabric 45840ad482 of his cotton 0ec91b3221 T-shirt, the sleeves 69dd2457d8 clinging tightly to a8c3649ac9 his solid upper 8417c39b57 arms.bfb34d68478defee

His lips d16be6094b parted slightly c8d9bcafad again. He didn’t want to 769c139bee say it—it felt a 3f12211e8f little pathetic. But since this man badd4291ff had come all this 940525e791 way just to take 006cf33722 him to the hospital, 164cb87eee Seungwan figured he should 8ab17349de at least try to ec2005bc9e explain his situation properly.

Seungwan finally voiced the 58f70ddfb1 thoughts he had been 07428c3b1a holding onto for so 536b55c913 long. He wanted 5eb0249ca9 this man 8b150fd9c4 to understand. Glancing up be4dabb6d7 at him, d5e3b2cca7 he saw 46a5f13d9a that the 294d91414a man’s expression 363bc958b6 had hardened. …Was he angry?

Now that he had c18b72b098 started, he went ahead 568ce2610e and voiced all the 7928b47678 gratitude he had been 0907d9b19f holding inside. He wasn’t a412ac2a66 good with 9a3e1ec075 words, so f4d49a5f75 he fumbled 98cf1b7243 a bit, ed580f62ea but that daa0612beb didn’t mean b31e71c1d3 he wasn’t 2da82bc631 thankful. He had been da9a6399e4 waiting for the aa7f760113 right time to 0a5286b130 say it, wondering 8bc79557a8 when it would 80a93c890d be appropriate. And somehow, the moment 4db94b2703 he finally found was d8f6d94506 the one where he 25dd5e48d4 got caught being beaten aac15e52b9 to the ground. His circumstances 58ee8ea177 were pitiful, a7fd95df56 but since d66535f225 the opportunity 2f1a659d90 had come, 8905bd50c6 he couldn’t b0671f7b5d just let bcb544b3d3 it pass f5e99eb2d9 without saying 75c35e7f2d thank you.8f88bc52139ddf18

Caught off guard 330ff9b408 by the unexpected ae88fbccd7 remark, Seungwan let 24b4be690e out a small 8d2ad6b719 sound. The man 08fa2bdcfd was already b8f177b7ad looking away.2a3834ab45833a2e

That was the e75cd7157d main point. There were 7405ef1385 plenty of 992b2952f2 other banks 4e75d9fe91 in town, 3db94c8f46 but most e8c3104b06 people in 11d14fc0e0 Unsan used a286fd36dd the agricultural f76de81a88 cooperative.

The man 99facc730a nodded as 7c5652e762 if he 40d43ad99d understood. That was a relief.

Seungwan couldn’t 158e48a240 answer that af1f36ef18 easily either.

It seemed he was talking about the lawyer he had mentioned earlier. Seungwan had assumed he was just joking—more about threatening Chief Chae than actually involving a lawyer. Quietly, he curled his hand into a fist and slipped his wrist out of the man’s grasp.dd2de06fce9db7aa

He said it 25e60bd1cd obediently. He didn’t have fddc9eed02 a properly packed b5cff9add8 bag with him, ea1413754c but his house 6df492f808 key and wallet 528c9a6aef were on the 9581e90e89 office desk. The man 0b378a5d2e briefly stared e08beda8b9 at Seungwan’s 24d4457adc limp hand 8c39ff6560 that had 40e5b0f4dd slipped from abbdacb531 his grasp, be818f2038 then nodded.b0b1a2b1c7b6dd9d

Not wanting to 053bf5c477 keep him waiting, 4f1189abcc Seungwan immediately turned a876454c97 his back and 73e3082f36 entered the building.

As Seungwan thought about ea9accc40d quickly thanking the supervisor 506304d82c and leaving, he opened fcd65f720b the back door of 274f6f9084 the store and was 6d08d44e9a about to pass through ab435467da the short hallway leading 84225025df to the office when 9142d0eee1 he saw someone standing b18ac2cd1a by the wall near 38f71b69e1 the restroom.

…What did he just say? Was calling my ass burnt black supposed to be an insult?He blinked 8a3088954f in confusion. It definitely didn’t sound c68b461601 like he was just 501b6749b6 telling me to keep 11758d6503 the bathroom clean, which 6276ce4442 made it even more 97c727a053 puzzling.

His mother was an Omega. She had likely met some unknown Alpha in her youth and become pregnant with Seungwan. Seungwan’s father, Ha Gongcheol, was a Beta. So, Seungwan never knew who his biological father was. However, he simply believed Ha Gongcheol was his father. Surprisingly, the feeling was mutual—Ha Gongcheol treated Seungwan as his own child. But in this world, some fathers can suddenly turn into complete bastards, even toward their own children. And to Seungwan, his father was exactly that kind of man.da2b9d19615308eb
