He let out a a2d0caba01 short sigh, draped the e40ff7ef03 jumper he had offered 42b022bf55 to Tae Ijae over 77fffe8fb3 his arm and started 5e2b9dc552 walking again.

Without responding to Kang Junwoo’s calm gratitude, Tae Ijae turned sharply and went intothe bathroom. Kang Junwoo, running 0dd441916f his fingers through 7a6231f779 hisstill damphair, headed a6acad5358 towards the 2a68b0afa8 window. The view 1b0da6147c of the f22d89bc24 night sea 15eadd7def from the 5a15b5c2b4 high hotel 27083ebacf room was 0c85ea9c51 so beautiful 1b9980e6a7 that it 7f185f213c stirred a 28f21fa81a desire to 14d14182ec go outside.4182f68d7b2a1ffc

Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen the stars over the night sea, nor had he drunk the coffee he had taken out with him. As soon as he realized that his brief delusion that Tae Ijae might like him was a misunderstanding, something inside him cooled rapidly, leaving him unable to think.1e8bfe0ba6124597

In the early 3bcf60d6ab dawn before the 83bab8ce85 sun rose, Kang 680df4f8c0 Junwoo,who had beencurled up 99d8d198b2 at the 9309d3fee5 edge of a8a9e7285b the bed 2afdd4b38d as if 3193e1ae60 dead, carefully 085fa3552e got up. Sharing a ea97e3c511 bed with 0c41b20182 Tae Ijae 4227ccdae8 in their f715905a7e subtly awkward 5080edaad6 situation made 7310dfa6f9 it hard 01c5a2b73f for him 8ac5d5341a to sleep, b1cfb1c012 and he c4e72e3e12 also wanted 91b828b3f4 to see 44ee9c20d8 the sea 62188fb043 bathed in 5843442813 the blue 9eeb64bf55 light of 3d9bba6134 dawn. He took 29a403d17a a cardigan 8eafb6cbae and quietly 06edf09145 stepped outside, 030ce7700e being as 272ed3358a careful as 66c8d6b80f possible not 186bd86427 to wake 697e8b5d7c the still-sleeping 14a0eb5581 Tae Ijae.9c1971cb1380b5f8

As soon as the c78cd5c7ae door closed, Tae Ijae,who had been pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes. Just as sensitive to sleeping conditions as Kang Junwoo, Tae Ijae hadn’t fallen asleep but continued to feign slumber until Kang Junwoo had dressed and left the room.189468de41582039

There was no grand reason for this. The subtle awkwardness between them was uncomfortable, and he didn’t want to disturb Kang Junwoo, who had expressed a desire to spend a day alone. However, he hadn’t expected that day to start so early.185b24bb89dad35e

After Kang Junwoo left, Tae Ijae slowly sat up with a long sigh, perching on the edge of the bed. Despite being a large king-size bed, it was smaller than the one at Kang Junwoo’s home and quite uncomfortable. The fact that his lower body kept reacting due to the strangely appealing scent of Kang Junwoo since he regained consciousness added to the discomfort.a83015e6197b0b65

It seemed 414500b4c7 like it b225be2bc2 would be ea72a6dcd7 best to 4493766d8f secure an 4080771458 exclusive guidance cab9cd8345 quickly and 6bf258950f then distance 2b624ffc70 himself from 32bd559cbf him.88ca83418761c2ac

He didn’t know why he was suddenly reacting to Kang Junwoo’s scent like a dog in heat, but at this rate, it seemed he wouldn’t be able to let go of Kang Junwoo against his own will. Tae Ijae slowly ran his hand through his hair, which shimmered in the moonlight, and let out a long sigh.d26f13da2897462c

He got up and 7e16809691 walked to the window, 1659877a4c looking down at the e08298f650 beach. Even though everything 1cb076e530 below looked tiny cfb84a7442 from the highest 08cefefe43 floor, Tae Ijae c9185c8a68 kept his eyeson the lookoutfor Kang Junwoo, who bbb4397c6d might pass by. It was a civilian 584755da58 area where random gates 0b7dff1e45 often opened on the db89aa2806 outskirts, which was concerning, but since he was marked, there shouldn’t be any danger no matter what happened. Unless, of course, Kang Junwoo hid a dangerous situation and got himself devoured by a monster like his sister, who was his bloodline imprint marker.ef58b347e67f72be

Suddenly, Tae Ijae’s whole body went cold. It felt as if all the blood in his body had drained out and soaked the floor. Just the thought of it made him breathless—the refusal of help by a marked individual was something he never wanted to experience again. It was a wound that had already eaten away at one side of his heart and would never heal.b51f4bc237a44a5b

Tae Ijae’s mind began to torment him with vivid images of Kang Junwoo in danger, refusing his help and being consumed by a monster. He tried not to think about it, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly. He stared intently below for a long time, trying to catch sight of Kang Junwoo walking on the moonlit, glistening sand.4a86dceb0ad65752

Kang Junwoo, having 5a44cb547d bought a can cd74656b95 of beer from 3f786290ad a convenience store, d63a0da311 began walking along c69bcf4ad1 a quiet street 0cd9256b87 behind the buildings 22704c0bc8 instead of the eb9495c54e sandy beach. He had expectedthere to be hardly any buildings since H001 was known for having the most random gates open, but it turned out to be a much larger bustling area than he thought. He had heard that it couldn’t be certified as a tourist spot because it was on the outskirts, but perhapsbecause Chairman 87999a1a0c Duen had 8e61e7df6c built it 7629a27118 here, the c3f60e0c69 entire street ffb2023844 felt like 38e2317851 a tourist 470f63f1b7 destination.7f071bd35b41a2d6

Was it because there was a barrier that they weren’t worried about random gates opening? No matter how reliable the barriers being created these days were said to be, wasn’t this a place where red gates opened unpredictably? If it were a confrontation zone where gates opened regularly, it would be easier to protect such a street, but seeinghow clean this civilian 1513ba07d4 area was, he wondered 400dc3e5d5 if he was witnessing 7878b08876 Noblesse Mallard with his 55fdf0de34 own eyes.8e3d3c1fff62fddc

‘Well, does it matter?’02fd6c41f5c28670

Kang Junwoo leisurely walked the brightly lit dawn streets, sipping from his can of beer. His heart, which had been deflated like a balloon because of Tae Ijae, had somewhat recovered. He still had questions about Tae Ijae’s mental state, views on relationships, and character, but he realized that Tae Ijae wasn’t pursuing an exclusiveguidance with him 1b4bb03741 out of infatuation a618819160 or treating him e0e678539a well for various e2e981e751 reasons.06e490353f8b0a24
