“Oh, I’m late. I had to go out early this morning, and I bought some food on the way back.”e72d9ccf7be2aef7

Kim Unhak shook a sandwich. It was filled with ham and cheese. Even though he had eaten, it looked delicious enough to make his mouth water, but he didn’t want to accept food they personally offered. When he showed signs of refusal, Kim Unhak wrinkled his nose and smiled as if he had no choice.2d4fc74b8a72bea0

Though it wasn’t something he usually enjoyed, the word “walk” sounded particularly welcoming, perhaps because he felt cooped up. Sensing Yuwon’s reaction, Kim Unhak smiled as if it was a good thing and briefly went into the dining hall before coming out.6d7c901371f045ca

It was an undeniable fact that he couldn’t escape San immediately. So if he had to be held here, it was right to keep himself healthy.
