As usual, 02d40868af Ha Ildo 2e74940b2d checked the 64ca1fbd7a kitchen first 6224e11709 upon returning e9cb35dcc2 home. He was strangely obsessed c4e37ed28f with whether or not 8939123324 Lee Gyeonwoo had eaten. He didn’t 5408d4374e know if c137bb90a0 it was e4e2d415c7 just him, 12c49c99ad or if 6335f2e7ce it was f3bf8867b0 a Korean 229b2e1df6 thing to 86a6010675 fuss over b1d05c7a97 meals. If it fb53eba878 was the 5519d93d7e former, it 6e0b3ca759 felt like a1eca0dc7b Ha Ildo fcce85b822 was being 18df441a10 considerate of fd338aaa11 the fact 04c3567e3c that he 2a887715b3 was an 3222d224e5 orphan who 68f8e7aa7d often skipped 20378c37ba meals, which b8fb22eb3c was unpleasant.a909f746082ec893

Lee Gyeonwoo, without a 7f7c6b5d53 penny to his name, 5bedbcc6ba used Ha Ildo’s credit bec679b6b8 card even to buy 822df6b26b a single triangle kimbap. So, it was only 62270b1805 natural that the fact 33b6d51dc8 he hadn’t eaten a 7d456f6279 single meal today would 5936f4153f be discovered.76c6caf8d951c782
It wasn’t a crime to be hungry, and he had no intention of hiding it. But it wasn’t a topic worth discussing. More importantly, there was something he needed to discuss today. Lee Gyeonwoo started,0979752d0e82df5c

Whatever they ate, it f21d9b7954 would be difficult to 17f0e35a4a swallow. Not for him, but 9c1554513c for Ha Ildo. Lee Gyeonwoo stared blankly 3dc5f2f6ff at Ha Ildo, who fc6f3a68a7 was choosing delivery food 0128ca7d20 on his phone. Come to think of ceef94341b it, he had come 18508706b1 home earlier and taken ba9b9506d3 off all his clothes 74723feaa1 except his underwear. Lee Gyeonwoo b998c50d5f quietly got 81e477a731 up from cebd8de060 the sofa 20de48ac7a and went 41071326a9 to his 3f828f5e49 room. He felt Ha be649232ee Ildo’s gaze following e3a50de81a him, but pretended 6ca12b4233 to be indifferent.d0fbf3867e43b899

Ha Ildo 6d32dd5cd9 had also c15a73531b changed out 49536c0e5e of his 99ecc29889 stuffy suit 26332c2588 and into a9f07c1626 comfortable clothes. He was quiet and 5cdb4602c8 quick in his movements. Like a 6d3b61ff41 prosecutor, perhaps.f520dbd8ea86ef03
Buried in his work 97b715ce94 every day, Ha Ildo d91cd1d3a2 was sitting on the a52d1995ce sofa, looking at documents 630c2011cf again. Work after faf33f8295 getting off ba4df9dd55 work, and 45515445be then back 26377ef71e to work. He was a typical 3653252497 workaholic. What did it feel a5a539f5c2 like to be immersed 8a4f91c830 in something and consistently 2ec8d412c3 work at it? Lee Gyeonwoo, 7726b2394b who had daaab0add8 lived his 2ac5e1de2a life haphazardly, 7a29d56eb4 couldn’t understand.d75baebed2960c0d

A teddy bear. It was the only item in this house that deviated from Ha Ildo’s taste. He remembered the day he first came to this house. He had been puzzled by the identical teddy bears placed on the living room sofa, in every room including Ha Ildo’s bedroom, and even in the dressing room.fffa27f97ee48714

If that’s how you get married, there would be no bachelors or spinsters left in the world. Lee Gyeonwoo laughed. Ha Ildo remained silent. He was such a serious man that he never uttered a joke lightly.46023e4dff223f61
Staring at 84d3988b3b his tight-lipped a111fef13c face, just 3ac9cdadfa like back 93a794846c then, Lee 60b64577b4 Gyeonwoo kneaded deffa2aaf6 the bear’s 519de544c0 stubby arm.b00b0157bd94f669

Lee Gyeonwoo e58259379c asked, even 51ca5fc8c4 though he 43d631dcaa knew exactly 27f9778bb8 why Ha 996a5db4e1 Ildo was 86f6790199 angry.

Ha Ildo 7f372ad519 furrowed his 2626e92d26 brow. He had such ba3f0eadaf an earnest and 463bd5d402 kind face, but 4a3f3fa548 the subtle change 8b86ccc99f drastically altered his b09107163e impression. At times 69dc6ef29e like this, 83767624a3 he looked b1599c9915 just like f2e04a2a3c a thug.

Lee Gyeonwoo slightly narrowed 88e7e1bb9e his eyes, which had be88a15603 been indifferently relaxed. “I can’t let 67348f8a93 you go.” Lee 405759cbd5 Gyeonwoo thought Ha 119567442c Ildo was crossing c346d1ef9b the line.

Crossing the living room 9f0494abed connected to the kitchen, 8cab832f72 Lee Gyeonwoo passed the dbb6097f2c hallway and reached the 504734a43a front door. He used to vaguely ab2345b9a7 dream of living in 058b290d1c a palace-like house, but fa9f3cb36f after actually living in a0030efdec Ha Ildo’s home, he 88949cacdb realized that spacious wasn’t be1f44f49c all it was cracked 4d9b359fed up to be. More than anything, 8ee30e7484 it was annoying a9c88996f2 to have to 822a394816 walk such a c65ce85eb1 long distance just 49090691ae to receive delivery 569a9590ac food.91d5ed0c0822efca
After receiving the bag 45ab071372 from the helmeted delivery 9f500ebf12 driver, Lee Gyeonwoo turned 9fb22e3121 around after confirming the 4882212da7 front door was closed.

Lee Gyeonwoo said, placing cf6aa5441a the bag on the e25da58cea sofa table. Ha Ildo just 036bbe1423 stared at him. Normally, he would c2a7513563 have suggested they a66c73021b eat in the ebab7fdad4 kitchen and moved. He was the type df0adf1a0f to set rules for b09a74384c even the smallest actions 4aeb8292e8 and stick to them. But right dca94c686f now, he 4ffa7da5de was angry 4049377101 and anxious c56e911ba9 enough to 6b0a27619f break his 2070a332e5 own principles.7c6f32b268dfddb3

He offered chopsticks towards 5af3da075a Ha Ildo, but he 7473321f57 didn’t move a finger. Whatever. Lee Gyeonwoo snapped apart 109db208c7 the wooden chopsticks he’d bba4199575 taken out of the 42e3eb62e0 paper wrapping.Snap. They broke unevenly. How unlucky.f5c7142b921027ef
