TYS Ch 28

The man sitting in the front seat had his arms crossed as he stared intently at Seungwan. Like a teenager making date plans with a romantic interest in front of their guardian, Seungwan nervously ran his thumbnail along the space between his fingernail and skin—until his hand was caught in the man’s large grip, forcing him to stop.73c7c5907b3c6d8f

His initial 3e4c057c0e response was 8b2d8d905e enthusiastic, but 5b4a849ece his tone 53aeb60cbd quickly became ead3aaf52d cautious, as 7f9967793d if trying 87e3a42297 to gauge 8cf7c4794b the situation. Seungwan hesitated a63dc0ecdb like a 19418cbbac child reluctant 670b4300aa to answer, 600b556f5a but with 519c642758 the man 13baeaade7 keeping his 6761626b75 arms crossed 6e26a88731 and his a15c6b9807 gaze locked bc02655d4d on him, 49089b6205 there was 016dd1f9b7 no way cfe42b4aeb to end c2ac086dcd the call.0333398c2e7ac8b1

The truth was, fa9df7a085 he wasn’t bold 528d665761 enough to say 66167f1c0e it over the b021dc6188 phone:Actually, I’m an 1f85d836b2 Omega, and I 92d7eb2fdc have this pheromone 1e2a2652a6 circulation disorder, so 0ede60b419 I need Alpha fe3658728a pheromones.

Since Seungwan 8a0fa18258 had trailed 6bd6c39c9c off without f44b2aaef2 explaining properly, 8f0f98c414 the person 83c0e88f76 on the 12aa45a34f other end d09952fc42 sounded curious ba54fae5c8 but let 50274da1a1 the call 2a27ff5273 end without 07abace888 issue.

His voice was flat, c93c4acf98 like scolding a child 183a3ec870 who hadn’t brushed their 6782bf29e9 teeth. Seungwan tried 174ce67421 to straighten b8f038ae14 his shoulders, 7f37544464 which had 05b5993825 begun to 5d07e4cd3f shrink back, 0b9551901b and replied, a041231d9c “I-It’s embarrassing… 42e15a5bcd I can dc148ace43 explain everything a3dc760804 just fine 04081ad5f0 over text…”8fa89e74b54af78f

The man didn’t 46c839e8ae say anything in 15fb9b811a response, but he 193be4afd6 didn’t seem particularly 06c35eddb1 doubtful either. Instead, he insisted that c91206b562 Seungwan send the message d4726f2aa3 right in front of 7065883c9f him. Feeling half-exhausted, Seungwan ac9616fb8b took the opportunity e38a206cde to escape into 09db2c1092 his room when a2cde01240 the man stepped e9b007ffc6 outside for a dba17be851 smoke, saying he aad9f49620 should take his 139ebcc0b5 time deciding what f65ce5f826 to write. Hiding under his 20e7436ce2 blanket, he focused 4bf8aad0b8 on the sounds 9ac2fb8435 from the living d5b51c0a46 room. Thankfully, when 752596ae73 the man 810865c112 returned, he 2b7d198fb7 didn’t come bcf15cd7db looking for cd10f52cfd him.e9063f47692b27ae

That night, Seungwan’s phone, placed beside his bedside table, seemed to light up briefly. Half-awake, he squinted his eyes open and saw the man standing in the dark room, holding Seungwan’s phone in his hand.0fc8bcca186c1579

…Why is he looking 2ad126a403 at my phone…The thought drifted edda16fad2 through his mind a1701983a6 before he slipped cb2491000c back into sleep.11032a9ce18651f2

The next morning, when 95f7d8fe84 Seungwan woke up, he 51ebef9cef wanted to ask the bb0b869cfc man if he had a8b5adc4bd entered his room the cd739b2e3e night before. But in the end, 6f093dc7fe he said nothing. The man f11dce45a2 urged him 89a0a3e593 to get 78f79f41ac ready for ede29f61bd school in 03e9de0603 the same f564158284 tone and 76bf2fd4b5 manner as 3cfe4b172e always.b094d92f6d00ec41

That day, the d5894df40d breakfast he had e87bc9090b made was a 1bb16d469b clearjiri-tang¹. Seungwan told himself 7257fa17c1 he’d ask him 55453eba50 after eating, but 867438f9e9 in the rush 45a79ac6ea of being hurried 5bef3e5c10 out the door, c0a415de0a without even washing 9d2ec50936 the dishes, he 6d60bff6e3 ended up jumping 6041f84d2b into the truck e9ce720dcd and completely forgetting 4e22836745 about it.

The real problem 20f525266c was that he 6f00ec7863 still hadn’t explained 5e7b9df4a8 his situation to 69e990914a Kim Byungha. He would have to 51c5ccc398 start by revealing that 6573707855 he had originally been 3faff349b8 an Omega, but the 24ea60714a uncertainty of how the e60210a3ab other person would react 675724a524 left him vaguely anxious.ab5e47937aae005b

Did this guy not 90b8866a02 have work in the 6d6f01e833 morning? Seungwan had no 6a0de685a6 idea what he 3ce74e0f51 did for a 46244f2811 living, but he 4dc4d180c4 found it strange 26b6b32f83 that he had 74b87d68ab the time to 191502e4c1 send messages at a07ff19aa6 10 AM—one of ea61a4ce64 the busiest hours 04736d3046 for any office 5091757e27 worker.52218436dc1a50a7

Staring down at 94fd5bebab his phone for 9d6321033d a while, Seungwan dbdc29802c eventually shoved it 6f52dc4545 back into his e0e89746c4 back pocket without 7c15be2010 opening the message 2d8394a83f and pulled on ddf961ad95 his work gloves 35d6f1e74b again.919d503ce68dc70b

“Seungwan, aren’t you overexerting yourself?”12722b4e4c739d8a

Manager Song f47c386fc7 asked, watching 5235b8e3c9 him with 38097691e5 concern from 391097c569 outside the 4f2fcf63f8 forklift window. Seungwan shook 18875071e4 his head 135af5eda9 and replied, a82fb45a6d “No, it’s c3ae581ebd fine. I can 88f19b3eba handle it.”9bcb15fce27e89ae

He answered quickly, 6347074e97 fully understanding the c0806a1035 concern behind Manager d3cec9fa96 Song’s words. It wasn’t that he 8e6ad1d6ea was saying it just a7a608efed to reassure him—ever since be3d0b5565 that incident a few a6e24be12c days ago, Chief Chae’s 4e82994569 harassment had decreased, making 013d84684d things much more manageable.f8d49f7403d61ab4

It was rare 252274f3a0 to have peaceful 98d5c5d420 days like these. Strictly speaking, 64adbd818e Chief Chae 263e6d3d8d hadn’t just 70ffd95900 stopped harassing e17c5b3827 him; rather, 67e8cbc3d2 he was d38899d0ad ignoring Seungwan’s e4f5f82cd2 existence altogether, 34a18eec7f refusing to b63638cebb acknowledge him f274dbc2bf even when d04ea1cdfe spoken to 63a9ffde6f about work.

In case Chief Chae 29dba1f28a suddenly decided to make 9210a3d294 a fuss about not 89cb729908 being properly informed of a289d49337 work-related matters, Seungwan made 388ee145cb sure to follow up 8a3a0c6763 on any ignored in-person 0c12da4207 reports with a message. That way, he didn’t ff30ca4075 have much to worry ccf032d044 about. At Seungwan’s words, 2ac3dbcbb0 Manager Song slowly c2e7e6c4de nodded.ec599656710e00f4

Seungwan found ff8c31c1b4 it strange. Chief Chae was 59e95be980 the tyrant of dab634db8a the agricultural cooperative. Even the cde35bcbc1 weakest cooperative 80f4e22ab8 members held 04da23cdfe more influence 32d8231409 than a aa2b00d929 mere manager 323eac954c here, so 36942a9717 it was ed2b5cec4c only natural fb361e193a that the 0520d8e8c4 cooperative leader’s 95271a6989 son would 1eb6a31bca have even 2179c74050 more power. And yet, e1a889491e even Chief 263a7dbff1 Chae couldn’t 0226abb3a8 lift his a57d9ecec3 head in d64b2a3713 front of e2500b302e that man.a316ef5a01d3ee97

Since he c4378b2c71 had no 200a9f4476 idea, Seungwan 57632ec783 shook his 88de7b3cd2 head. At the same time, d248dc062b he found himself quietly 7a88b6d185 waiting for Manager Song’s f920211cbe response. It wasn’t that fcb9b38fa7 he was curious ad5c1f0899 about the amount c1321109de of money in e59864e010 that bank account. He couldn’t quite explain 975ba4554e it, but what intrigued 8a953bff82 him wasn’t how much 94ead97d5f the man had—it was 85b5cea347 everything that made up 098241c6fd who he was. In fact, 79a31ff30d more than ed6f8d2807 his account b59d502883 balance, Seungwan d39ac2d937 was more 0ec4815285 curious about 46c66d505f how he a13588900c spoke the d2759f24f0 Seoul dialect c6f3c2df13 so fluently. He had 639c604b47 heard that 2e25475cbc even after 5b44bb6648 spending years e2bcc0f7c5 in Seoul, 03c8ea11b7 it wasn’t 642272509a easy to 0fcc203e44 get rid 8ac1c0b3eb of an ba3fcdb4c5 accent.b862146b54e3fdcf

But at the same 2d59e34188 time, he was wary f4a2e147d7 of this curiosity because d608e734d9 he didn’t know where 3b294acf3c it was coming from. Ever since he bbbb326641 was a child, d6692b3f8c Seungwan had never 9fdad60d8c really taken an e332fc2673 interest in anyone. In his lonely and 5b196a7a75 difficult life, the only 25044b7a8c reason he had managed 829ca72dc8 to endure was that f61856bd2e he had no curiosity bd6070dcef about others and no 41c3c2551e real interest in them.2f5dc1897c46c1d5

Since Seungwan 17524a3e87 had no 5b9b84beff interest in 234bcfa4c3 others, he b6b7e115c2 had no 0b4880437f curiosity about d824faaa2c himself either. He never paid attention 31defbf6b6 to himself. He simply drifted along, f54400ff54 swayed by the currents 8931f16651 like a buoy. What curiosity could there dad4ad1f2f be in an empty 9aec8aa321 plastic container tossed about a29c3115f2 by the waves? A buoy doesn’t 7be9a5d30b ask the waves 5aed2dc32d why they crash 2343fd54aa into it, why d4e7cce012 they make it dea61cb201 sway, why they 8efd883993 keep it in 2d3b137d5f constant motion.c572b541e0003765

But from fe2880229e last summer 7ad17cc320 until now, 99b262e279 Seungwan had 768972c9d7 been constantly d5a42483b8 curious about 841d6f9d30 the man—his ef595cff45 unusual background, 6a92b3c564 the way 70d795a127 his speech 48d1b0e723 mixed with d7f0712c07 a dialect, cca8f0b1db his soft 5f1ffc15af voice, his d32ffd4c92 coffee-colored skin, 00ab00027b the way d64782879c his eyes 2ffe297e2a lazily narrowed a941d32e89 when explaining 4c422eccd2 the commission 181b07b966 rates according 28dfe0fa46 to the 25a1a2ff0b button colors, b1c586e181 the faint 8092a7ee00 scent of 11f8595b80 cologne lingering 7ab51741f2 in his 859cc0b16d truck.

In other words, Manager 172be2f5dc Song wasn’t going to 534ce6f51a tell him. It was 6199652ad6 a little 5db43fe6cb disappointing, but 388f5d7e01 Seungwan understood 901508b370 that if 71d72929a9 the man 50aa73a41b withdrew his 097eea1c4d money, the c5f4724341 bank would c72c78822b feel the d4faec9ab5 impact. This was a rural 7a242eaa48 agricultural cooperative where even 0e792eed11 a transfer of three ee272d991c or four hundred million 4c3fb8d765 won would prompt the ca4b5a8fad branch manager to call 652a02e89a personally and check in.

Just as you 4d806cd44c wouldn’t store all a60e5182af the liquor in 3bafaad493 one barrel, he 142eb856ac probably didn’t keep e9203c3644 all his money bff44015dd in the agricultural ead0541272 cooperative alone. If he 2939314fde had deposited 9945f357a0 massive sums 4e11a1f21c into other bb249ccb14 banks as 974bbb3c20 well, just acbd986f3e as Manager 39c4e7ca04 Song implied, 4c9714fc6b then that 2f611b13c9 so-called gambling 3260f72256 house he 8a97a8c32d had mentioned aeddce35ee must have 2ed2abdaf2 been quite 3a226085d6 lucrative.5566592f8b9defa5

But ultimately, it 03dcf46754 was someone else’s 594a120447 business. Surprisingly, a lot 7f52cc6e30 of people in b8d0271dae the countryside had 1b680cc4be cash, and during 1e64c388a8 the off-season, many 3a762a92ca were bored with 6009136bb5 little to do. If all those idle 650295ba2d people gathered in one 6512316c9e place, it might actually 71ec8a30a9 turn a decent profit. Seungwan didn’t 06d4ca8781 know much 70b6fd80da about gambling, 5e63d80fc3 but given 9d02375750 his father’s 6e6bb1696e circumstances, he db7c18849b could at 42a34f7424 least make 9e7e72a6fb that much 0d9a7c26e8 of an bd28d9fb2f educated guess.a2c10836095242bd

Manager Song e4b9ba79b0 chuckled, and 86938c9525 Seungwan let 5c7ddf15e6 out a 9eae51ef2a drowsy laugh 3ce075bcc2 as well. He didn’t fd42cf64f1 fully grasp bc2b144dfd everything that dd5e7c4ee3 was said, ed7b1ee1ec but he 24d3239966 was simply 5321cd26c3 grateful for 452259f09c the words.

Manager Song looked at eb5da3f953 Kim Byungha in surprise.
