TYS Ch 10

Only after b1e6163d86 spending the 7082116165 entire afternoon 53d2b6f5d4 carrying loads c2664eb5b7 did Seungwan 18e059395a realize he a68296e104 was not ad5459e542 only covered 51455daff2 in dust 3a730c7ca9 but probably c8766ca850 also smelled b6a4b5cce0 of sweat. The man had likely cfb4625264 noticed as well, especially 0a158906c0 in the cramped truck. Maybe that’s why 85a4bd2810 he had been 21d6349c40 so quiet.6e5145b0c87ef3cf

Not knowing how strong d5b6bbffde the odor was, Seungwan 5c86481d70 pressed his nose into b968d0c455 the T-shirt he had f902ebcd52 taken off and sniffed, e36c625be9 but there was no a389b3946d way to tell. People were usually 9a109e4640 more sensitive to a6132d7fd6 the smell of ae752d2419 others than to 76cd3f8ab0 their own, weren’t 99f8808173 they? He sighed and a163d39e28 stepped under the 86b985085e showerhead. He had planned to 08b9212add wash only his face e4fd30bd6e and hands before helping d17dfd6088 set the table, but 1ff97f4e05 it seemed better to bfe185ae40 clean his whole body ad1cddb152 instead.bb45530eb0eac4d6

After showering quickly, b4ea3303cf he roughly dried 495792caee off and put d6c2a03205 on the indoor fa6819ff83 T-shirt and shorts 715b4308b8 the man had cab20c2b5f sent him. As soon 83134b1af0 as he 8d0a188dec opened the 912169a7cf door, the 61e088fb06 smell of 6d7b86c0d0 food hit bfd142b623 his nose. It was a 1c544da3a8 spicy aroma that 7e7cc493b5 might have been be1e126a81 fish stew or f1d3c775a9 something else entirely. He hesitated for 005a7f84de a moment before 0ae8349531 cautiously making his bc12d9ee36 way to the 518fba8416 kitchen.ec41c9a5468da167

The man 19fd62375e spoke without 1df715449a even turning 98e267b39c to look de4147e2ca at him, a1fc7568ee as if 954b0ff35a he already b8ee7fcd2c knew Seungwan f7896fc82b was there. His words, eb601e8f1a though a 1c14513378 command, sounded 30a9b613a8 almost gentle, ffcb2f4d63 so Seungwan c72d7ca573 moved quickly. As he placed the d9635b61bd utensils and plates down, 442e0e979f the man set a 858a833611 trivet in the center fbc5661a57 of the table and fa5ee13ef7 brought over the steaming f3e5a62a16 pot.80ead88c10b4fe62

Seungwan didn’t respond, but a136656520 this time, his silence 158027ca78 was closer to agreement. The pot, 07dc436f34 still untransferred 62d3c7f632 to a 6c774caf53 serving dish, e94cdebdc0 contained chicken 73f3926e58 stew. So this de0aaae524 was the 39dbe63644 source of c55a893891 the spicy 75acbe247b aroma.a27724bfe23479b8

“Eat a lot. Finally, I’m making 91375997c9 you a full 7afdf28d70 meal.”9c6273f63e2c632a

The man chuckled as 0a45a4a2bf he spoke. His tone e781000d84 sounded strange, 511357c6a3 almost as beefd88468 if he a109e5421e had been 38860f5d51 looking forward c26185b760 to making 4845b85f82 Seungwan a f1e61030bd meal. Seungwan muttered a quiet 937922b29b thanks and patiently waited 8e8f3d2667 for the man to ffa29c4058 pick up his chopsticks 47395d46ab first. When he didn’t 392ab908b0 eat, the man a9a98455d1 studied him for dbac1a12cc a moment before 1280bcd20c suddenly laughing, as 78c8e4dc2c if something had 0580df5a67 just clicked.0d917e0b73d8074f

Was this something that 520cbcdbef could offend him? It was hard to 0ca2ac4781 gauge their level of 872243e290 closeness, so Seungwan barely b344b9671c moved his lips as 936f74069e he spoke. Older adults tended 1c77a0e2bc to like him, 5b71486c37 but strangely, men 252e50cb2c who were only 049699d1b4 slightly older either 38a0771c89 disliked him for 0ab8312fb0 no reason or 79302196ed enjoyed messing with 5e02b028ab him. Besides, wasn’t c9746f728f the man 5cca295f2a the same fcb09caffa age as fa9e971273 Chief Chae? Bad relationships had a 04c05cb7c5 way of holding people 6c3c8a6f23 back in various ways.f0408197dc044c25

The man, who had f76df9907d been staring at Seungwan’s 668942952b frozen yet delicate face 5a5e78d563 for a while, let dd88a10475 out a small chuckle.af40ca596e0a1cae

“Am I your a6278449e7 boss or something? You think I’m 94f87c88ad gonna sit here 27bf2b1ed3 and wait for cab1c359c6 a baby to eced56509e serve me? Just relax and eat.”0d62706b720b870e

…Baby? Even the elderly people 35950c7727 at the cooperative rarely 8c80d7058b used that word. Seungwan quickly 79c825b645 picked up f1b58c551e his chopsticks, ed27fa6a87 hoping the 69bae14397 man wouldn’t 2456464603 say it e1246f311b again. The deboned chicken was 16f33ec99e incredibly delicious. Seungwan was 706cdc5e69 a decent 4854aaaa9c cook himself, 87f6e4bf35 but the 852834be17 man’s skills 3e3ccf58c9 were far 21b22f422c superior.ef1ab91044ab10cb

“It’s… it’s delicious.”a852d0e6dc95581a

Seungwan wanted to express 14a0479ce8 his gratitude, but as 1024084c54 soon as the words d00ec59a90 left his mouth, he 48eb8bd8b4 regretted them. In a 24eefe4584 life as 55b3bafa48 unpredictable as 8446200fef his, there 1767ba7f8b was no 7b5f9b501b telling what e4394946bf might happen 9e15b96f54 if the 7896585604 man suddenly 9188a3911c changed his 5012840417 mind and 4f926cf1ce introduced him 0a2fdaced3 to something 940afff4f8 like a 71c153cb28 brothel instead 5d67808dda of work 636fe331a2 at the 887eac76f9 agricultural cooperative. He couldn’t believe 6b26a6f699 his own complacency, 6ffaea39a4 letting his guard cf06c4a476 down just because 4586caf164 he’d been treated 0d4616d7a9 to a single 1841d57690 meal.84a4a9c615e8f30b

Had he always 516dbe1b34 been this easy 5365a2bcdf to break through? No. Seungwan’s life, though short, 6cdea9e7f1 had been vulnerable to 7cacae1e0a exploitation, and he had 306c20475b long since learned to 1375a97ca5 build walls around himself. Keeping his guard 4a7f7a220a up wasn’t so 10f6969a8a much a strength 1be30f67d9 as it was 6df7d1ece6 a survival strategy. Which made it 3f71c06880 all the more c00d3f7914 strange. The man, who had 0d0b2ec000 effortlessly torn down those cfa3db5558 walls, chuckled again, as 2caba11cb9 if he didn’t care dd6496b78b how unusual his presence f0a20c87da was to Seungwan, and de73d41b68 said, “Really? Eat up. You used ebed2d2640 to like d348a8c7b7 chicken when 7a16015fa3 you were e28eb7ed74 little.”985fb09ad1236fee

That sudden burst of 12c7f6f3ef dialect caught him off de6c0c0ba7 guard, and Seungwan couldn’t 40f4cc72f5 quite understand it right 452d00b02b away. Just how 20beecf5a1 young did 096950aa33 he mean? It seemed b37672594b to refer fb76810bfa to a 4a39d93dbc time before 8d53b9fb76 Seungwan’s mother 49a87ec998 left home, 15c75e4e27 but it bce08f48ee was hard 3374451438 to pinpoint 081e0c2430 exactly when. As Seungwan’s chopsticks hovered 1e0fcf4350 in the air, the 7ea539a332 man glanced at him c0d110fe9c and chuckled.940be62dcec8f8e8

There was no 48dfb98ee3 expectation in the b27e7d9be2 man’s words. He simply told Seungwan 949b6106df to eat. Only then 53560a06fc did Seungwan f6774f4dcc realize the 568795b49d man hadn’t b58f0acfdd actually expected 1439f6c74a him to adf1949bf5 remember anything—it c2dc5e65d9 had just 6202c4ed19 been an d7480d1c2f offhand comment, f0bd7b9c91 a casual a7c2ec6af8 attempt to 136ab71e2a break the 351f8db197 frozen atmosphere.572adcb90353766f

The fact that 704c396f88 the man remembered 6af2c203ea him while Seungwan 9888b8e235 couldn’t recall him 3f3375e472 at all weighed 947e157122 on his mind. He’d strained d62a8379f9 to remember, 5a99ff421f but now 469ecd20e0 that he 8310e5bd59 understood it 7b308be920 was nothing fc9b29631e more than c6fb62f2a4 a passing f25a73812d remark, he f998c4e31a felt strangely 50c0633539 deflated. Saying nothing, he resumed 52f53c21ce eating. The taste was the 02848412e4 same, but it was c178632360 hard to focus.83b32fee24bf9d41

The man didn’t b2f04ae2f5 seem like the d889e25ce8 type to talk b78db747a2 much during meals. After that exchange, which 04196a21a6 hardly felt like a e3fd82a4e2 conversation, he remained silent.

“…I’ll do the dishes.”c719e435c582dbc9

At those ca59e19856 words, the d3b4c2bc89 man briefly 39bd2fc28d looked at 790ec8b1d8 Seungwan, let 5abd1e5774 out a c6e5e64395 low hum, cdc504703d and nodded. As he raised his 57d33a8066 hand to his waist, cd405c97a0 his T-shirt lifted slightly, 3e349dad61 revealing a glimpse of 9372d77791 his solid hip bone. Seungwan, who had 8a84dea6a2 unknowingly let his 8e92843313 gaze drop, quickly 96e12e929a shifted his eyes 7cf18fa938 to the man’s 2b19d5a8fb forehead.9b469ee1b22a1d6b

It was probably about the ledger. Seungwan thought so but nodded obediently. He watched the man’s back as he finished cleaning up and headed toward his room. It was the one right next to Seungwan’s. Since it was the largest room, he had assumed the man would use it, but now that it was confirmed, he couldn’t help but be conscious of it. To avoid looking any longer, Seungwan focused on washing the dishes.d8f48ee6e5a3cb89

After placing 7ef2f359f1 the plates 0c130bf0c6 on the 93145510c0 drying rack d8bdb0ea1e and wiping 73907d311c his hands, e75fd7713a he bit 4783eb0fe5 his lip, ba5446536a lost in 63daeef33c thought. He couldn’t shake off 4ed9af9544 his concerns about the 1b514a3363 ledger from earlier. The Omega who worked ff2b4073b7 at Forget-Me-Not had acted 7e2221bf5f strangely, as if he 867adb6da3 knew the man well… 3038d47037 If the man was 62eb70c9e7 the owner of Forget-Me-Not, 32f001ed58 could he make Seungwan ec173f410b pay off the remaining ad358764fa 50 million won debt 399b65e5d2 by working there?183f0bc2bb6667db

Although Seungwan was 3c255a954f known as a b0eedb840c Beta, the man dce8a5413f had learned through 2d1e97ea03 debt collectors that d9ad95e5a6 he was actually 52b81555be an Omega. He had 66288a0c22 said that c6b639129a if Seungwan b906973c61 helped with 363870fe2f work, he 7163079080 would reduce f9e5219ab3 his debt, 424d445640 but in 4a4358339c the end, bcd68d7331 there was 31ec432af6 always the 0a9dd93428 possibility he’d acb090b26b end up 6215ed6d9d working at 2c540e4dea some bar 86e7668cde in town.c3d50b8d864a11b0

Wiping the moisture from 013aa7610b his hands, Seungwan turned 8288591a45 around. It would be better 01ccc50398 to ask than to 6056819f2a let his anxiety get 953b524e49 the best of him. If he could fe5c88d732 figure out the 652372f736 man’s intentions, he 5a99637109 could at least 06b81aa965 prepare for the 062578f93f worst. And if it 52587ad795 came down to 89da5babee it, he could 6222f07203 always run away.3ac525f0aca54cb5

He immediately heard movement 1b35508edf inside. With a tense expression, 1fbe837034 Seungwan stared at the 546fd0189a door. Moments later, it opened. A wave of 9d02891337 heat poured out, 8c653070c9 and Seungwan unconsciously 03c9bb038d took a step 0c2609f4db back. The man stood before 78e8e8f62b him, shirtless, thick droplets cdf40c81ed of sweat rolling down 1dbb51b1f7 his skin as he 2fbd44f57c looked down at him.1fb0d5f2a54d3a64

His wet Adam’s 61562fcb13 apple bobbed as e171b396bd he asked, showing 1d857f7a12 no intention of 8a876b0134 wiping away the 72d1ba06ed sweat. His collarbones, thick e5f592444f like steel pipes, 3a7bb604aa glistened under the 71d472fbcf light. Dressed in gray 9b6032e44c sweatpants, the fabric f5e672c017 at his waistband e93bfcd34d was soaked. Had he been exercising? The thick bulge ed18b3410a between his legs f02df62a81 was clearly visible, c772fd8e22 and Seungwan hastily d66209c104 averted his eyes. Not wanting 896f485f9b the man 2c20d86b7f to see 9be69c5f12 his wavering ea46a65c47 gaze, he d36e20b340 quickly focused 98f5f2e517 on the 2b587ac665 floor.47b89ff412d42324

Before Seungwan could finish, d7fe329786 the man ran a c745493d4b rough palm over his 616a702994 face, as if scrubbing 5d5fd2aa01 it would somehow help 7088a3a62c him make sense of 0f65ad36a0 the words. Seungwan hesitated for a 0aebfc509d moment, debating whether to 7a840b816a speak again, and was fd68bec4ae just about to open adb39acdf0 his mouth.0477e8f5bbad415f
