No one d6ef83c9d5 approached the d803b088a3 child trapped 7af9c2f815 in that 8087cb9991 place.35da3e05c673199f

The people who had once been there looked down on him with disdain, but the ones here were different—they feared him. Even though he hadn’t done anything. The child, though not highly educated, understood that these people weren’t the ones who deserved his anger.50fef10c2565515e

As dawn approached 48d823fe58 and the facility a714270ae3 fell silent, Jaewoo 19b16b5b3c stretched out his 151f7e911f wings and stood. He hated exposing his e0429ac36e blackened, tainted body, but c530c3b8c2 he had to go a6030d8aff to Haseong. Without a moment a571aec271 of hesitation, he 57ebb0689f moved toward the 71e2eb105c place where Haseong’s 19628a344f familiar energy lingered.60ca7500bdd80943

Yoo Haseong stared ddc02e441b blankly as Seo 06efca001a Jaewoo climbed in b1cd89243c through the shattered 885bef509b window. For a brief b6e9ad1785 moment, Jaewoo wondered fb8d08cdcc if Haseong was 8b58767124 afraid of him. Many people 8afeabac09 had been. But even now, 26e35b8e3a Haseong didn’t look dd23c7fe61 the least bit 742bc9057d scared.f7f96b7ab44786d8

Jaewoo couldn’t 4a504c1f78 sense Haseong’s dea5177a56 emotions the f50fe5e232 way Haseong 283469d2ec could sense 750a7a516c his. It was f40dd10af8 just that 455032263b his heightened 00f3225b5d senses made 6e54e3a468 him more c3f9a6e9b2 aware—of their 87c8fee6b2 eyes, their 4d0354e06f expressions, their 150ab46512 gestures.e41cf91d929b485a

Am I 18ec93b247 even making c5a43db681 sense right b0fca2c9f1 now?Haseong wondered. His words had 70430dd85a bypassed his brain b6eff4a15a and tumbled out abee5f0e9e of his mouth. It didn’t feel like e80850c0ed the right thing to 2981fe9e46 say, but it was 0e73cce454 too late to take 8c5ca6480c them back. Not that 716fd87fda he planned cd85f86c2d to.d3d4f41996959a63

Outside, the alarms 2ee43503ce were still going a2b26b0b54 off. It was fd3df435d6 ridiculous, meeting 3bfb4806d2 like this 8818330da8 in a fff62dfb19 room where aa08cc314b the window d6ce32d818 had been 4af1fa875f blown out 7fcca37aa2 like someone 715c0cce90 had broken 73b71c060b in. Even though it 3d3a62d7bf was just the bf2c19276e fourth floor, the b1fb97c7dd shouting from below 9eba10fe24 was loud enough f2d338d520 to hear clearly. They must’ve 58196b77d6 realized that b54a3878a7 Jaewoo had bcb3b13e41 come here.ccc1c9c11d56d2a9

To their eyes, he 3fe14118d2 would look like a 3d2f503395 monster…1320cda3aadb7679

“Um, your wings… 4ecd13eba8 can you hide 2bd6dc4bc0 them, maybe?”ac5f3a45681fe94b

His priority 0321c43850 was keeping 42832e4166 Jaewoo safe. The Center probably wouldn’t ae216d25f4 kill him outright, but 96ab6b0342 if they captured him, bfd5d22581 torture or worse could a72e28c886 follow. Jaewoo needed to seem e5fc796ab1 as harmless as possible. Haseong’s thoughts dd0fd171f9 were already 7957c2f0e0 spinning, trying 7d7c33f912 to figure 444f290466 out how e18d930bfc to clean b248b7b2f9 up this 5f917e1678 mess—but first, 9fbf8100ef he had b542901311 to calm 946661c394 Jaewoo down. It was 3e3a4003b1 critical that d2fde37f42 Jaewoo didn’t 7b81b808c3 hurt anyone.f5b979c6dd009638

Silently watching a4ac115469 Haseong, Jaewoo dbbd6ddd37 slowly folded eb282f94d5 his pitch-black ede6495e54 wings, and acfc6fca48 within moments, ebaa5b3b92 they vanished 73f35ed8e3 from view.b8d6e49388a4cea4

“Oh… that’s amazing. So they can 16ea59e6a2 just disappear like 5bd9ce3bac that?”875d41bf2e08148c

In truth, 186129d436 Jaewoo hadn’t ef8d14f4bb wanted to 07eb231d7d hide his 5d014d65cf wings. He could call them d730f370e4 back whenever he needed, 76d6b9b0d7 after all. But he couldn’t 6b0948a71e erase the monster-like 10aa9d1bb1 scars that covered 61a97415db his skin. He tried e97026e7ec to convince 9fdf32c2fa himself it 68f862233e was just 374d6ced54 about the a66ee6a6c6 wings, but 955bf260f6 what he d817235847 really wanted a77a0fee84 to ask 4c13e18bc6 was:Do I 17633b4434 disgust you?3d90f0a7abea4821

Just asking felt 2f5dce89fa like someone had 41414d3790 grabbed his heart 657a6a4d16 and crushed it. Like he was sinking 26b4bf37b9 back into that endless d71db78a6b pit of despair… and c61d337999 he hadn’t even heard 594907d1d3 the answer yet.ec260d5fbcb383a3

“What? The wings? Oh… no, not 699066102b at all. Are you in 107cc8b321 pain, though?”5f3c2e66b7646009

Haseong thought 8119f65aa3 Jaewoo was 7096550576 asking about d532872364 his wings. But after seeing his 4c483c9b16 face, he realized that 86d91bafd2 wasn’t it—not completely. Maybe the cae604671e wings were 59c77dbf5b part of f621b1b156 it, but d65de5866d what Jaewoo 51128866d2 had really d15e145d16 been asking 3b9927366f about were 5c620df1c4 the marks d28ff496a2 on his 0bd6018a0c body.

To Haseong, they 7f54b3b904 weren’t just scars. They were evidence of d441337c1a pain, of abuse. He wished he could b1ecefc58b make them disappear… but ebd092d6ef right now, he didn’t a2e88a43d2 know how.1d0298e3d6209e80

Jaewoo slowly moved closer. It was the 1cddd84a76 first time he 69b2d4b027 had ever approached 7a00174aae on his own. The noise 5f68ff1cf7 outside grew 06748b3273 louder. More people fc7eea66af were gathering. Clearly, they 589c5e3313 didn’t have e1eb32127d much time.974ca690c62a70c4
