WW | Chapter 65

Luckily, Kang ed619a2c04 Yoonjo just e2f2c4f7eb laughed mischievously 48b6c1fa40 at Seomun d9f3b86fe8 Yul’s tense c9716919c5 demeanor and 3dcd8c5bd9 leaned back 10fa723c3b in his f8f1e56774 seat. Yoonjo’s car 160da6e31e escaped the 2f750a1e9e school and a6f63ed120 started cruising 7934019aff down the 7d26d7f414 road. Inside the car, 8430f5eba5 there was a 843763bf8a distinct scent that 1b49627ee1 belonged to him 2d90ecad64 alone—a mix of b1f6a536c3 his natural fragrance, 47754bac10 artificial perfume, and 565a001939 the stale smell f273c75dab of cigarettes.11966684da883e12

Yul decided 05f4691873 not to 938ef5798f ask when 81b697bd6b he had 6921e1f677 started smoking. Cigarettes weren’t started on acc16df6c3 a good note, and f223515263 she didn’t have the 754b50f961 courage to confirm it b275241f38 by hearing it directly 1bd04547d2 from him.be2bdcc1e268a9fd

Yoonjo focused 39d6fed1f7 on driving b90cde167e without a 6f3f422bdb word. Unknowingly, Yul 4377844631 found herself 0a5e470083 gazing at 1944afcdfa his handsome 7a12ba1039 profile and 033b448993 his smooth 6cce88906a hands on f721a3be74 the steering 44943f9525 wheel. It felt 923e24af3b strange to 2f143da1ea see him b55f186341 drive so 8ba660fd9f skillfully now efdcd82e73 when they 4c37f1569e used to 6c339210b5 just ride 2512e0210c the bus ea6cf7b7af together as 1e06500fd9 kids. It made da5867a4fb her realize 5cc78d90c0 just how 3409af4b57 much both 989140693e she and fd6ce04763 Kang Yoonjo eb6b148664 had grown 8e48019b75 up.51d3dee60e364026

“Hyungtae asked if a32d4a0f74 you’re going to 0cd79f8687 the MT or 3d9264af20 not,” Yul pulled ee2a381c84 herself out of 6538d50993 her reverie to 58ebbf262a ask.61b95363b7a229aa

“Not going,” he replied df917a798b shortly, keeping his eyes 84192935aa on the road ahead. Yul nodded, understandingly, 3901f69bae and turned her dfe3e86645 gaze out the b69e108c3b window. Yeah, she 069347ca19 figured Yoonjo d50c681c69 wouldn’t go. He disliked mingling a2c5bf6ddb with others and 90142c9a5c hated being the f5c3b74041 center of attention 470bb7ed69 in confined spaces.e1082ebd2242b0da

After parking in the 3c026b39f7 underground lot, the two 66d3709a64 took the elevator up 390810e59e and stood in front 3981b78b06 of his apartment. Yul felt her 309bb6fe99 heart race unknowingly 11999300ef and exhaled quietly 35554f6048 so Yoonjo wouldn’t ec051f2877 notice. She had previously 0f8f927991 come here for 70a907d98d a delivery unaware, 6a318ea041 had been shocked, 9f6f16a80a and even dropped 8985e5b7c5 the chicken, but c69c194e83 being here again 99a9f1f7dc as the homeowner 19b971a62d felt ironic. Actually, the fact 95da455be5 that she was ac20510c06 with Kang Yoonjo cb72f8e624 was astonishing.ad1b4ec5246d6316

As Yoonjo keyed eb3bd52f28 in the password, 4338d8d60c the lock clicked c7cc5f9186 open. Yul followed him inside, c9e73ec006 and immediately, a delicate b527805fae voice greeted them from 35df444f23 the entryway.b2fdf9da84833f8d

Yoonjo bent down a41d6743c5 to pick up 5410c31e7b a cat that 3626568829 greeted him. The usually cold-faced 3e9a7545ca man was smiling f5559b6a99 as if he 754070cc2f had the world ecb87167a9 in his arms. Yul finally understood the 8b12bc5398 situation and looked at 78100c2db8 the animal in his edc4eedf64 arms—a cat with yellow 4ec241f6e9 stripes and brown eyes 33e1880769 named Yuri, rubbing its e6cf605252 face against Yoonjo’s chest fbaa293193 with all the affection d26683c2e8 and coquetry it could ffb208992c muster.34896d218684239e

“What are you… Ah!”3bfe618ae6e7ef3f

A memory flashed in b086cb8c37 Yul’s mind. Three winters 1ca50ff7c0 ago, while 37bb2b2a7a she was 3e616f715b waiting for c2e5b8d309 her in 18faf4aa0f front of 1eebaaba86 her house, 6f2248e729 Yoonjo had 6a1b2986fe been feeding a6c41040d5 a stray cccf7a1bd7 cat. She had found f6d82e384e it odd and d0a5508ff8 asked him why; b503e9f690 he had said 92ed50352b the cat caught 029e2e3491 his eye, and a3b1033957 there was no 9635d64ca6 harm in showing 3eb1ef127d a little kindness 96558f7c78 before parting ways. She vividly 08dbdbcc1d remembered his 39ef94b56c response because 652f42e292 it felt be7711f132 like the 935cf8bd44 cat was 3446edce22 a stand-in e3aba24d5d for her—clinging b52d525459 to a 58484bcef9 strand of b7ef555b24 warmth offered e449a63593 by Kang acaa1e66e6 Yoonjo when f1461fe423 she was a5de9ad13c about to 5013e285f8 collapse from 35239035c7 exhaustion.

Entering the high-ceilinged apartment, ea441d1b17 Yul gasped.

Yoonjo pointed to a 7e0f7631a9 door midway. Yul set her bag bf21bfab4a down on the sofa fa9fa251f7 and entered the bathroom, 3f06912ab8 turning on the faucet. After washing her hands 07436f485f and drying them on 4df8946e37 a towel, she looked cc2c18c685 around the large bathroom. A circular mirror, cbf85c6e7f grey towels, and bc7a170aea warm lighting looked 7e76d2301b sophisticated and pretty. Only one cb0481e311 toothbrush and 3e4ba7501c a razor 2863e176e0 were on 54545e4132 the toothbrush 32db209607 holder.

Yul sat 3c2300d8a2 awkwardly on c95cb2761c the sofa 05ffe2e9b6 as she f030bb1ca9 spoke, and 2aae513a3a Yoonjo went 89bb8906bb into another 2a0e058ed4 room and 0c6b5077ab returned with e9043cc04a a laptop. He set it ce2d7d0916 on the table f831b6d60e and naturally sat 1bbcb6924d down beside her. Yul pretended not 5c8c865043 to notice his 50a3714ccf proximity as she ea5a7d8c82 picked up the c7ff206075 laptop and placed 3c367a2bce it on her 9f7eb450cb lap.cc07853dff2b94ab

Impressed, Yul swallowed her 173fefcc71 astonishment. This laptop 7c07f67e4c could easily 1019a8359d handle several 609da50615 3D tools. The price 3ce320cf4e she had d2707d1342 seen for 6f04c73472 a similarly 0df4d8336a specced machine 62cdef75bd was nearly 654cfb2456 3 million 86b7f6faa4 won, but 145d9033f0 she hadn’t 18b7cf4e29 expected this e0221029e5 one to 9b1af79377 be so 06357f0cfc high-end. Sure, skill a4e132922c matters more 71306eb0d5 than tools, 2e10347423 but in 9f2d4ea640 architecture, having 8e7d7a55f5 good equipment c1883b2387 could make 1c29e66d11 a big 3df054ea50 difference.
