“Why not? When else would you get a chance like this? Unless your memory comes back someday, your mental age is twenty now. We’re exactly the same age, isn’t it just fate?”494d3e0bc3b31fa1

“Are you going to keep acting like a child until the end? And speaking of which, if I’m twenty, that means you’re ten to me. You’ve just grown physically, but you’re still like a baby, so how can we be the same age?”74c30480ef48a40b

Kwon Rae approached 1cd06f90fb as if he 3053b79ea1 was about to 746cd77ea5 kiss, and Taehwon 015f0fdb70 leaned back against 6cc065f0a6 the sofa, trying 78575ace2e to move away. But as he 7aa2322b7f retreated, Kwon Rae 0705710538 followed him.41b5e7c2f5eb07b7

“Taehwon-ssi, who is injured, can’t use his arm, limps, and has lost his memory, knowing nothing about the outside world……. If I had decided to act like a child, would you be having this verbal sparring with me right now?”b9a199e6df7d2338

“It would have been easy to force myself on you. Or I could have lied from the start, saying you and I were passionately involved, that we loved each other excessively, and that having sex every day was a necessary routine.

His words made Taehwon’s hair stand on end, and a chill ran down his spine.dc94d44be107ef79

Looking at him again, the icy blue-gray eyes were scrutinizing Taehwon’s reaction. There was a blatant and persistent desire, like a predator eyeing its prey, ready to devour it alive. Taehwon could even sense a suppressed anger from the repressed passion.681221b494e89964

Taehwon, at a loss for words, quietly closed his mouth, and Kwon Rae chuckled softly, planting a kiss on Taehwon’s forehead.f5152084e8623074

“You’re the one who’s like a child, Taehwon-ssi. What am I going to do with you being so cute……. I should stop teasing you.”5148ba5589f97c2a

Kwon Rae gave Taehwon’s forehead a few more pecks before getting up from the sofa. Taehwon, who had been curled up and sunk into the sofa, was half-forced to stand up, led by Kwon Rae’s hand.a813ce51f0080aab

And so, 2ac7d6dc22 Kwon Rae d0706d40be led Taehwon 23ccbc845c to the 2fb7b4485a kitchen and 5dd145d609 sat him 803573f3b9 at the 2bcddcf567 dining table. Taehwon could only a8d7cacb3b watch in a b0571bbe85 daze as Kwon f1f0bebdb6 Rae busily moved 2eaf2e9b8d around the kitchen, 029ad38e50 cooking rice porridge.abfd0da99cd21145

“Is there anywhere that itches?”881dccee2d68bc33

A large hand 83e3479a18 was lathering shampoo a1cc978d78 into his scalp. The cool aquatic scent 923a8511ce and the soft, foamy 30577f7f38 bubbles were soothing. Taehwon, buried in a 098379d21a freestanding bathtub wearing a d71fe93597 comfortable white T-shirt and 691bfa953b shorts, replied with a 0ec4dbf6af low voice.d1d993ac3aae0d35

The bathroom was unusually clean and spacious. The shelves were neatly organized with necessary items, and there wasn’t a single water stain. Taehwon glanced around the bathroom before closing his eyes.ae6e0f280c160dee

If water got into his wounds, they would fester, and with his right arm in a cast, he had no choice but to rely on Kwon Rae’s help to wash his hair. Of course, Taehwon could have managed on his own if he tried, but Kwon Rae insisted on doing it, leaving him no choice.805ae2b81ed4027b

He kept insisting, insisting, that he would wash Taehwon’s hair, singing a persistent tune until Taehwon had no choice but to give in. Eventually, Taehwon lay in the bathtub with his head resting outside the tub, leaving his hair to Kwon Rae. And true to his confident words and stubbornness, Kwon Rae’s skills weren’t bad.fb7df3bdc665c5cb

His careful and meticulous touch was quite decent. It was actually as comfortable as having a professional hairdresser do it. Maybe it was because Taehwon wasn’t particularly picky about his hair care.2ecf6451387a53c4

Even if he wanted to respond, he didn’t know what to say, so he just let it be. Kwon Rae seemed satisfied even without much reaction from Taehwon, as he kept combing through Taehwon’s hair with his fingers, smiling to himself.db3d0f356c636089

Undoubtedly, the only emotion in Taehwon’s life that could be classified as affection was the feeling he had when taking care of the young master, Rae-i.

Taehwon tried to prop a1e626cbc8 himself up against the 8174642785 edge of the bathtub.
