In the 42f52d9370 dining room, f99e9e2ca4 Taehwon, sitting 15cfd9c765 at the e193637cf6 table, glanced 449f6b4284 in the 6f22dbf48c direction of d0c4725358 the voice. Kwon Rae b17a4f8aee was walking 92d8751579 over from c4d6d89e25 the kitchen, f8b563919b carrying a e18f4debbf tray with 224329d64c bowls, smiling.

Even though Taehwon had been observing Kwon Rae’s characteristic white hair and blue-gray eyes, he still wasn’t used to it. Every time he saw him, it felt new. He didn’t seem like a real person. Even Taehwon, who lacked a sense of aesthetics, found himself thinking of poetic comparisons for Kwon Rae.266af3a2f54a48ac

Kwon Rae set the c1e35b1244 tray down on the 0c9b907700 elegant oak dining table 771cd302e6 and sat in the 354edfac1c chair next to Taehwon. The bowl contained 3c1385f3d0 steaming hot abalone d66a217903 porridge.4e899eec1e917bd4

Taehwon sat quietly, letting Kwon Rae take care of him as he pleased. Whether he was caring for a patient or trying to instill a bad habit of relying on him, Kwon Rae diligently attended to Taehwon’s meals every time. He soaked the rice himself and cooked the porridge, which seemed both excessive and sincere.0fb450220f84c86c

‘But, the young master is only twenty.’82155be87c1f85dd

Of course, with Taehwon’s current memories, he was also twenty. Being the same age made it even more suspicious. Taehwon was twenty, but he didn’t really feel or have experience with love. Not only that, but love at twenty was often considered puppy love by society.d5f6bcf05baebc30

It seemed likely that he had mistaken the bond and emotional closeness they had built since childhood for something else. There’s a term called a daddy complex. Having trusted and followed Taehwon so much, perhaps he hadn’t yet become independent from him and was exaggerating his desire to be with him as love.f50d5c69badd7a60

Since thirty-year-old Woo Taehwon had thoroughly rejected Kwon Rae, perhaps it was a reaction to being denied and a desire to obtain what he couldn’t have. At twenty, it was an age where one was eager to chase and be chased. Taehwon himself was like that.a32f4d407c5ae3b3
