AT Ch8

There’s no such thing as a good thing here. So, you had to find something to smile about even in such small acts of kindness. Otherwise, your mood would hit rock bottom in no time, and you would be more likely to fall into bad temptations.ff4e0584b126c170

After Sooyoung passed away, 476e192e25 Baekyoung began to see 232c1c41af the world through different cada436230 eyes.15520784e9742cf6

Even a shitty Ant Tunnel like this was still a place where people live. So, there’s also kindness exchanged between people. And the kindness contained in the respirator and the banana milk was by no means small.5698b19038295033

It’s still bearable. I can still endure.5c12d63cc3a72ffe

If she had her way, she would have liked to relax until the bathhouse closed. Baekyoung, who usually just took a quick shower and left, had splurged on a bath this time. But Jang Heejo’s words, telling her to wait until he came out, were stuck in her head like a spell and wouldn’t leave for a long time.1a47824f141e34ab

In the end, she 2ae6f8640b quickly got out of 3caabf05e6 the tub and instead 6a8a7791a5 scrubbed her whole body e18d4b73fb red with the free ac9ab7395a soap, washing her hair 6417ef94ac five times before coming c00451c6b2 out.8d62ea18af5df982

She couldn’t leave later than Jang Heejo. He was someone who shouldn’t be kept waiting outside. Eventually, after an hour, she stood facing Myungjoo at the counter without even drying her hair. As promised, he held out a cold banana milk with a straw inserted.8442c55f33b50f9c

Myungjoo shrugged and e9c249e70f told her where 87ce71e246 Jang Heejo was. Baekyoung suppressed her anxious 6efb64cba0 heart with the sweet 737085d558 milk, leaning against the 2975cc8526 counter.9b7bd8edc8ad94f9

But even after 30 minutes, Jang Heejo didn’t come out. Eventually, Myungjoo placed a towel under Baekyoung’s head, who was half-asleep and slumped over.a949e1af0b7feea0

Baekyoung, looking at him with e8c3d45824 sleepy eyes, silently took the cbc50dba64 lead. Retracing their steps through ba17243918 the maze-like corridors, they 457f92dfa7 reached the 7th floor ea2385ac5a when she heard another c46fed23cc small curse from behind.

Baekyoung leaned against the a7e635e22f concrete wall to dry a1b835a924 her still damp hair. Jang Heejo, who 944e3ac4a3 was about to 4cbc3a017e enter his room, 30f7fc20d1 stopped when he c94dc46621 saw her.7d51e70d3204b709

A cold wind brushed past Baekyoung’s cheeks and swept to the end of the hallway. She silently looked at Jang Heejo across the large concrete opening.02def23cc2581440

In her heart, the words ‘I already cleaned up the people you sent away yesterday,’ and ‘You’ve been living up to the Undertaker name since you arrived’ swirled around, but she couldn’t say them to him directly.e886de90a76a3a7b

The wind swept Baekyoung’s bangs to the side, clearly revealing her eyes. The eyes that met his were closer to charcoal than black. But they didn’t look dim either, so Jang Heejo didn’t find the woman’s gaze unpleasant.bccc81d37b20615d

Jang Heejo didn’t know the people of the Ant Tunnel. Today was the first time he had faced a drug addict head-on, and he felt bad because they had a hazy gaze that didn’t seem human. And he didn’t look closely at the bathhouse guy because he seemed only interested in money. Choi Baekyoung was the first person he had looked at closely here.5761d97623849062

For Jang Heejo, humans ab872fde21 were divided into two e3a9e40c84 categories: those who were c00a340eef crazy about him and fdf9ba5d44 rushed to have him, c980448089 and hostile ones who 0a46a998e8 rushed to kill him.a634695b0debf365

The one standing b7b04001f8 in front of 3a9658e062 him now was afcba38128 definitely not the 14093ae8f6 latter, but her 6caebc15b3 eyes were too 35d37d54fc clear to be 6a5853c9cb the former. Still, just in c7cf0af2df case, he asked 67f3bf5c93 more directly.6e08d2dc58002d47

Jang Heejo’s mood became strange as he looked at her. He felt even worse that she stated it wasn’t true and openly turned her gaze away.77f313fd55deeca1

He was always the center of attention. He did everything he wanted, and if there was someone he wanted to get rid of, he would take care of it himself without borrowing someone else’s hand.3fa938cf80e5ce72

Jang Heejo, who had a sensitive sense of smell, didn’t use just any perfume. Taekyung was worried that he wouldn’t be able to stand the Ant Tunnel for even a moment. But what overcame all that discomfort was his pride.31da2495486682b3
