PASSION - 20. Close to Heaven

....Saudi Arabia's current foreign minister is Prince Bandar Al-Fad. He's a wise man, but he's not very healthy from birth, so after that, Prince Rashid and Prince Ali are fighting for diplomatic leadership. Prince Al-Faisal is Ali's brother, a very close brother, born in winter. He started a business early in the battle for power....

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqUWlZUEQP

It was a dirty story everywhere.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6qPAzyNna

Where there is power, bugs get tangled. If there's money there, it's more. The pattern became more dirty and complicated as the worms stretched.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidzHSjArBf

There are more bugs inside than outside the eyes of others. Perhaps if someone else was talking like that, the inside would have smelled unimaginably bad.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCmoSqD6iA

"Oh, there's no day to sleep in that town."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYzsxyf2Xt

Jeong Tae-ui murmured, chewing dried plums. The soft-dried fruit was very sweet. Jeong Tae-ui continued, rubbing his fingertips with the fruit that would be honey in the mouths of those living in the hot martyrs.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnIWWOOV6z

"What would you say if I get in the mess because I want to, but I don't want it to put in the wrong person who doesn't care for nothing."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzBFko51gS

Jeong Tae-ui has been grumbling for a while.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh04fZSxAh

But no one responded to his grumbling. Once there was a person sitting in front of him, but he was turning the pages, so he didn't listen to Jeong Tae-ui and if he said something important, he would answer calmly as if he had listened to it all. Even if he could communicate, he probably couldn't talk. The space inside this building was Arab, not Tanzania's Seringue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGb56CgFbD

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him unfortunately, recalling a high school alumnus who said in the past that he almost got into big trouble after talking to a woman who was lost in Iran for work.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmYW7wKp2t

He didn't really want to talk to her. In the first place, Jeong Tae-ui has never seen a woman with that kind of eyes for a while. Women are not the object of desire for him, even if he can simply admire the ''beauty of women''.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN95Ki1WI5

......But it didn't occur to him that the Arab man, who stood with a knife in the corner of the corridor and looked at his side as if he were watching, would recognize the pure heart of the stillness.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTco3nzQ9N

"Beer would be perfect."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAEhM3G3vt

Jeong Tae-ui muttered like a sigh and lay on the floor.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy56NJtSGC

There was an elegant garden when he came out of the small side door at the end of the corridor, outside the small stone-covered courtyard in the middle of the corridor. The place, where trees and bushes were overgrown, was filled with various fine flowers and grasses, as if the botanical garden had been reduced and moved.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfecpRqK24

Sitting against the rubber tree in the back, Jeong Jae-ui was quietly turning the pages. And while lying in the shade of the grass in front of it, Jeong Tae-ui was pulling the fruit basket that the white-clad lady had left next to Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1pNa1GbvF

It was a beautiful place. Perhaps this is the closest place to heaven.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhixmmkXFv

He didn't hear any noise. In a quiet space, there was nothing but the sound of the wind, the sound of the bushes or blowing, the sound of birds sometimes screaming or flapping their wings on the bushes, and the sound of girls laughing in the distance.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7jDM9zV5e

A blue sky that is cold as if falling in front of you.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmrK5tzXaV

And next to it was the most beloved brother. The familiar sound of turning over the bookshelf from time to time calms the mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQy7q7kUy

"No wonder it's funny. I can't believe the separation of the person who dipped one foot in that messy mess is so close to heaven."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0tgcKFenY

Jeong Tae-ui muttered lazily.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa2Mj1UhEz

Indeed, he thought he would understand Jeong Jae's mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8WhagOGVh

"Were you stuck here all the time? Everyone else is looking for you. Even if you're locked up, you could have left if you wanted to.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU286csD0A

When Jeong Tae-ui asked him, he replied calmly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCV7dGagx

"It's comfortable. It's not like there's a place I want to go."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIULKures4

Jeong Tae-ui was speechless at Jeong Jae's answer. Well, he thought they treated him preciously because he is locked up with his own purpose. Just by looking around the living space, there were no signs of rough handling, such as giving a separate residence where people did not come and go. Rather, there were traces of careful consideration everywhere so that they could enjoy maximum comfort while not being able to.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7GNWjwrD6

"I don't have to say hello to the owner? But I just came to someone else's house."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUW6fvmHa5

It was funny to think that he would meet the criminal who kidnapped his brother and say, "Hello, I owe you." but regardless of the greeting, he deserves to look at the face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrMlWjpMRo

However, he shook his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts3Dgpw7v4

"I went back to our home country four days ago. I have to go to the hospital regularly, so I go out once a month. I usually come back after a week, so I think I'll have to stay for another four days. Plus..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTro6IYUb4n

Jeong Jae-ui stopped talking about what he was thinking. He is lost in thought for a moment and mutters to himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OT2UYxCzx

"It won't do much good to run into each other.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpQJkiweRy

"Why?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvf8O4j0qK

"He brought me here to keep me from being known, but you're here, at least someone, including you, knows about me.....''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclnvlCX9wY

''...Lock you up, or torture you to see who knows, or both?''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagXysl3qd9

''There's a possibility of that.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AHVEoHK2J

''Then what can I do?''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLdshZzFC6

''You'd better get out of here before he comes back.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZnGVHIiIf

"What about you?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQx7L9xWV

When Jeong Tae-ui asked, Jeong Jae-ui looked puzzled. Jeong Tae-ui soon realized when he saw the face. Jeong Jae-ui was not locked up. He liked this soft, serene space and was staying on his own volition.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheol37geK1

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9npMsfNuxJ

''Yeah... then I'll go back alone. Since I saw your face.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoS1SfijCR

Many people, including his uncle, will be sorry if he goes back alone, but in the first place, Jeong Tae-ui did not visit him to take Jeong Jae-ui to them. It was simply because he himself wanted to meet him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x9hg5fpot

However, Jeong Tae-ui's walk, which was about to go out saying, "Then, bye, hyung." was blocked on the way.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnL3i5QNmE

He couldn't leave this annex. It is a house located separately in one corner of the spacious annex. Far from being outside the villa at all, it could not be transferred to the main house or other buildings in the villa. This detached house was entirely isolated.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZf1BgEXKf

There was only one door leading to the outside at the end of the western corridor, and in front of it, a man with a large knife stood guard. Looking down at the knife, which had traces of hand-written writing, Jeong Tae-ui soon remembered the gatekeeper man. He is the Arab who hit his stomach last night.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIjmEMZpq9

"I want to go out. Let me out of here.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UNWDWyokt

As Jeong Tae-ui said, the man only stared at him and did not move. He just tried to open the door by turning sideways, but when Jeong Tae-ui tried to grab the doorknob, the man lifted the knife and knocked on Jeong Tae-ui's wrist and blocked it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AotDPax4H

When Jeong Tae-ui, who returned to Jeong Jae-ui without a reason, told the situation, Jeong Jae-ui nodded strangely. As expected, it's the same pitch.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK6hJOFS98

"I don't know because I've never tried to go out, but I think there's a strict limit to the people who can enter this annex. Still, if I say I want to go to a night market, they give me permission. Although I make sure to tighten my body with the chador.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFIlJtVTAF

"But why are they blocking me? Because I'm not going to the night market? Because I don't wear chador?''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvEevFmo5m

"Maybe they've already reported about you and something has been ordered there.....The night market is held once a week, Tae-ui. And Chador, I don't think it'll look good on you.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5ZQlvuEZV

It doesn't look good on you, either. It doesn't look good on you in the first place, there were several parts that I wanted to point out that chador was not made for men to use, but I closed my mouth. That is not the point. I sighed and scratched my head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZRElXzGla

''What is it, then? Am I locked up too? I can't go out?''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ500j9m1GEh

''That's what it looks like right now. Talk to him when Raman gets back in a few days. Maybe he'll let you go unexpectedly.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkMV1uH51m

"You said there's nothing good about meeting each other."'

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAlH5L5A20

''There's nothing we can do about it in this situation.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrZll391xr

"Then what if I get trapped or tortured?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX53Zfte4X

''Hmm...There'll be a number.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5aCpC1ukS

Jeong Jae-ui's intentions were as plain as they could be. Jeong Tae-ui stared at his brother and eventually breathed a sigh. It'll work out somehow. It's not just yesterday or today that it's a tough sell anyway. In addition, in the worst case scenario, he thought about taking the Arab hostage and getting out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigDKo8WJuY

The Arab man, Raman Abid Al-Saud, was told he was in poor health. It is said that due to his weak health, he usually lives in a separate house and rarely appears in public.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EG4zJMmh9

Jeong Tae-ui felt a little guilty while thinking about it. Even now, it is a little cowardly and cheap to think about taking a person who has returned to his home country as a hostage because he goes to the hospital regularly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYlwecjGIu

But his life comes first.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaMgS2uFmK

Jeong Tae-ui was forced to sit down in the annex where Jeong Jae-ui stayed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IBBPgR7Od

One day like that.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRMbjv0JV4

Jeong Tae-ui understood Jeong Jae-ui's mind. After spending just one day not thinking that he wanted to leave, he came to understand it well.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvarkThyre

This quiet and tranquil space was like heaven. Moreover, it is probably a better space for Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHRRnq6uWP

Originally, Jae-ui, who likes to stay quiet alone without going out to a crowded place, was a perfect place for him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOTM9WOcJB

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly saw Jeong Jae-ui with his eyes wide open because the blue sky was dazzling.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHSOtqEESv

This annex is the only place he stays. But this open prison is not a prison for him. Here, where he could stay in peace, he would have been spending these days every day. Read a book leisurely, meditate, or get lost in some more complex thoughts.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAwD5x8Tob

Jeong Tae-ui laughed. This man was not unfortunate anywhere. It was fortunate that it wasn't possible. No matter where he was or how long he hadn't heard from Jeong Jae-ui, he was fine.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaa1qB5F0D

"By the way, hyung."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZKYYVW4AR

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly opened his mouth. He thought of something to say. Maybe he doesn't know what to say. However, even to his brother, Jeong Tae-ui had to let him know that he knew something. He didn't mean to blame it, he just thought his brother should know. Jeong Tae-ui opens his eyes loosely, looking at the dazzling blue sky again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlGZ1nsO23

He didn't look away from the bookshelf, but a quiet answer came back. Yes, and...

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXpL4vBOTZ

"What do the people who locked you up want?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTprb432UF

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4RxZZPpYT

The answer didn't come back. However, instead of answering, the gaze came. Jeong Jae-ui's gaze fumbled over his face, staring only at the sky.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq13ZdUytz

Perhaps the answer could continue to be buried as it is, so Jeong Tae-ui opened his mouth again. From the tip of his tongue, which he hesitated for a very short time, a quiet word came out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0TeteaHWN

"Do they want you to make a weapon?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuSHsdditM

".......How did you know?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8trhD9Jm0d

There was a sound of covering the book still, almost as if it could be heard. And Jeong Jae-ui remained silent for a while as if he were lost in thought.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjmgVJvfxU

Jeong Tae-ui knew that Jeong Jae-ui always knew more than he expected. Perhaps by now, Jeong Jae-ui is thinking of someone who would have helped Jeong Tae-ui come here after Jeong Jae-ui's whereabouts, or what he might have heard from him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z2XHeIUYs

And he's probably thinking about things that Jeong Tae-ui can't think of.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP5RsQwiXr

"I saw it underground in UNHRDO. I heard you made it. It was beautiful."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJfvYpXi6a

"That's you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2QzJT8mrk

Jeong Tae-ui stopped talking. Then he tilted his head and looked at Jeong Jae-ui's face, which looked upside down. Jeong Jae-ui said calmly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv0dJGBtlK

"Didn't uncle tell you? It's not complete, but you can change the design to make other things. I made it the most painstakingly before leaving."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULBGlCJ2z8

"Yes." Jeong Tae-ui murmured. Then he slowly got up and sat down. He fumbles over the fruit basket, picks up whatever he can get his hands on, puts it in his mouth, and murmurs in thought. This is apricot. It probably won't come out around here, but he saved it well.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2xv7PK4Kd

"......There was nothing to hide. If you did it on purpose, you didn't have to keep it a secret from me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgqohweRlJ

Jeong Tae-ui murmured to himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHTBwuGl3m

Actually, he wanted to say that. If Jeong Jae-ui had something to say to him or felt ashamed of himself, it was unbearable for Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS00or4NSt

No matter where Jeong Jae-ui did, he would protect him until the end. Just as the politician would, no relationship could reveal everything. Tae-ui also had a few things he didn't want to tell Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZebxm0CSC

So it's okay if he doesn't tell himself everything, too. It didn't matter if there was anything else hidden.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBO4x49gVO

But if he feels sorry for himself for that, that's not what he wants.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9UAW5tnkG

"Actually, it's nothing to feel sorry for or hold back from me......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR87f5E2Qd

It is clear that Jeong Tae-ui will not be happy with his making of weapons, but there is nothing to be sorry for him. Although he can feel guilty in a more fundamental way. And Jeong Tae-ui didn't want him to make weapons because of that.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMinZB5jFV2

Jeong Tae-ui heard Jeong Jae-ui sigh.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ThnLolJX

Jeong Tae-ui realized then. What Jae-ui really didn't want to say was what he was asking, rather than the weapons development case. And Jeong Tae-ui could immediately see what he was asking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ53ZcsL9y

Lucky genius. The source of that controversial luck. But still, Jeong Tae-ui can't understand, perhaps no one can understand, whether his lucky roots are quietly buried in the dirt or already dug by someone.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkRGJk5Ofr

"I will."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5bdhuUAuO

When he opened his mouth to speak out, Jeong Tae-ui coughed a little because he felt uncomfortable. Perhaps by this time, Jeong Jae-ui had already realized what Jeong Tae-ui had to say. Jeong Tae-ui remained silent a little longer and continued his talk.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IIcvKdTwy

"You give me good luck. I heard that. Not from uncle, though."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWsO1ymJYt

After speaking, Jeong Tae-ui raised his gaze toward the fruit basket. Looking forward to his quiet face as always. There was a very dim, yet unperturbed face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ963CNxAMd

"......Then who?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FS9ExgkQo

"Oh, Ilay...It's a guy named Ilay Riegrow, and he said he'd met you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2eBLPezUq

Jeong Tae-ui didn't want to see Jeong Jae-ui's face, so he tried to change his words quickly. Jeong Jae-ui seemed to have immediately remembered the name without thinking for a long time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO19zHiWEF

"I see. T&R's......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSsw6XjD2D

Jeong Jae-ui nodded. Looking at him, Jeong Tae-ui suddenly remembered the man whose name was on his lips.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq36FtVUCE

Ilay Riegrow.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ28pcR6bV

Is he looking for me now? While he was away for a while, I went out on my own and he got very angry, saying that my whereabouts had become unknown.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplwbIaFxwL

But it won't be long. It was easy for him to guess the whereabouts of Jeong Tae-ui. Asians like Jeong Tae-ui were rare in Seringue. If he looks for him, which he remembers seeing Jeong Tae-ui walking around like Jeong Jae-ui, he will find him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vkbFoJOoe

Then, should he come here to find me?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoLVSqzrIA

While thinking about it, Jeong Tae-ui frowned. Even if Jeong Tae-ui pointed out that he was in the separate house of the Arab people like Jeong Jae-ui, he could not come to find him. The situation remained the same. It is the same as not being able to find Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx1U1eAriW

In the southeastern part of Seringue, even in the area lined with the villa of the rich, they could not find Jeong Jae-ui, even though they assumed that it was in the villa of Raman Abid Al-Saud.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KvFC6beoL

In the middle of the Middle East, it was quickly found out where the separate houses of Saudi Arabia's royal family and rich people were gathered, but it was not known where he would be among the buildings divided into numerous separate houses in one huge fence.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaFeaQ9K0N

Jeong Tae-ui once said, "Can we just hire mercenaries, wear masks, and enter each house by force?" Of course it was a joke.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftOeFt0wBG

However, a negative answer came back to such a ridiculous joke.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm7Osi7yuB

Of course, there are many armed guards attached to the annex where the royal family stays, and they said that they cannot penetrate from outside to inside unless they are all away. And even if they hire mercenaries, it is difficult to penetrate the annex, which is quite far from the entrance, unless they are very skilled.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGrewnldkO

"Come to think of it, I was trapped with you...The whereabouts of me... have become unknown."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjvdMOUeUE

Jeong Tae-ui murmured and scratched his head as if he had realized it. This is it, he thought that it might be a serious problem beyond worrying that he would eat a lot of people if he went back later.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZSoefwV9z

If he can't expect rescue from the outside, he has no choice but to get out of the inside, but he's trapped like this.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7S6paLDmI

"What should I do?" Jeong Tae-ui thought about it quite seriously. It was unlucky enough for Ilay to think that he ran away, even those who witnessed him going to the night market with Shinru. This time, he really didn't know if he would die if he got caught.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiJQywttlX

No, no, I didn't go with Shinru.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOGtngEJth

Jeong Tae-ui slipped his hand awkwardly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdysE6edmCd

What if he asks me what I'm doing? It's too complicated and long to talk about. In addition, I didn't want to say that my life was entangled in a dangerous state due to the passion between men. (Yeah, that's the point, for instance. Some things Jeong Tae-ui doesn't want to do to Jeong Jae-ui.)

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETAuxdVSje

However, Jeong Jae-ui did not ask such a question. He only looked at Jeong Tae-ui silently with thoughtful eyes. He spoke slowly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kCnqtZNl1

"When I heard that you were my luck..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoSZ8Cwk2t

However, his words, which came out of silence, were interrupted.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhVWrLA1R1

At first, Jeong Tae-ui could not recognize who he was. He couldn't even guess.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQQZmIfInG

Of course. He has never seen him before.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47rqNmtSBi

The man stood on the stairs and on the corridor behind the annex.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9wKRfqh7T

When Jeong Jae-ui suddenly stopped talking while opening his mouth, he realized that his gaze had shifted over his shoulder, and Jeong Tae-ui looked back curiously. And he found an unfamiliar face there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv4ThVC8aD

The Arab man, dressed in white sand-colored clothes, was looking down at them sitting in the courtyard under five steps of stairs.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyVatOOVvO

After that, a man rushed in. It was a man standing in front of the door. Perhaps that Arab man walked in without hesitation first without waiting for the man to stick next to him and follow him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Y4EdaoLJ

It was difficult to guess the age of the face with a drought angle. The only dark eyes that were coldly closed without being able to look inside at all, were telling him that he was not a little young.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8v5czS2U6

He opened his mouth. Low and thick bass flowed out. Upon understanding the words that Jeong Tae-ui couldn't understand, the man next to him nodded and said something to him again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcy9pXsztk

The expressionless and dark eyes that looked at Jeong Tae-ui soon fell behind Jeong Tae-ui. Perhaps the gaze toward Jeong Jae-ui stopped there for a while.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH7TaAWjSn

The man slowly came down the stairs. Whenever the slow and heavy steps approach one step at a time, a sense of pressure comes along as if the air freezes heavily.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYFLbpIZWK

Jeong Tae-ui did not look away from him, but turned his head slightly and asked Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8hVOCGSWe

"Who is this guy?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcAZkk4NER

When Jeong Tae-ui whispered, the man raised his eyebrows a little displeased. Perhaps he doesn't like the language that he can't understand, as Jeong Tae-ui said.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoEN6QHRe3

It didn't seem like a marketer. No, there is no way a man like this could be a marketer. If this man was a marketer, it was clear that the owner would be cut off his neck and robbed soon.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RWlFzenfb

Then, is it a watchman or security?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbFTGIrSrt

He took a glance at the man, but he couldn't see anything that could be a knife or weapon. But maybe he's hiding a gun under the hem of his clothes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25LIiVid95

Suddenly, Jeong Tae-ui thought a little out of context.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhAFaLtJk9

Certainly, if such a commanding man is staring at the eyes of a watchman, he may not even think of running away from here. Right now, Jeong Tae-ui alone must have agonized more than twice as much to attempt to run away if such a man was under watchman.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eiuvVvq4G

The answer to Jeong Tae-ui's question soon returned.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFRb2kqcIN

It was not the answer that came back while answering Jeong Tae-ui. Since Jeong Jae-ui called the man, Jeong Tae-ui could tell who he was.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkHTDVPgnV

"Raman. You came early."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1lH88ltL6

Unexpectedly, but perhaps others thought it was plain as usual. At the words of Jeong Jae-ui, Jeong Tae-ui knew the man's name.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnkeNFWYJ1

Raman.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUrBPA7oV3

Jeong Tae-ui, who briefly gave Jae-ui his gaze with a surprised face, looked back at the man again. Before he knew it, the man who came down the stairs and took a step into the courtyard stopped a few steps away from them.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GMVR5o5E

"This guy is..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe030jIqWH

"I'm Raman Abid Al-Saud. Do you like it here?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWfpyNgvV1

Even before Jeong Tae-ui could speak properly, the man spoke in English that could be heard clearly. The thick bass, leading to British pronunciation, contained a slightly soft light, unlike when he spoke to a watchman standing up there a while ago. It wasn't just a language difference.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeIjSKnf1B

The expression is the same. The face, which was cold enough to feel the freshness, reminded me of a calm smile.It's like a different person.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOb9vUlvuT

".......I'm Jeong Tae-ui. It's a very nice house."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKvoutP9lp

Which one is the real face of this man? That cold, stern face, and a gentle smile as he welcomed the guest in the house.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxo4gRZoyF

"Jeong Tae-ui. Oh, I guess you're younger than me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1CVf8aJ35

Raman, a man who seemed to be thinking for a while, nodded Jeong Tae-ui's name once again with a rare clear pronunciation and gave Jeong Jae-ui an eye. Jeong Jae-ui nodded.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RVSQ1AxUl

"You're unusually early this time. Did something happen to your home country?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVkPgBuqwY

"No, I'm not. I put my work aside because I heard there was an unexpected guest here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4fJndgawr

Raman looked at Jeong Tae-ui with wrinkles around the corners of his eyes. Jeong Tae-ui murmured, "I don't remember coming here at all to be a guest." and looked at the watchman behind him for a moment. To be exact, he was brought in just last night while he was knocked out of his stomach.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi3j3flJas

However, even if he appealed, there was no way that this man, who would have brought Jeong Jae-ui in a similar way in the first place, could have heard it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkocHO4OS3

But.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTvASW7trX

Jeong Tae-ui stared at the man who exchanged brief greetings with Jeong Jae-ui. Then he made a slight frown.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlHeRY2qmd

Who the hell is this guy, who said he is a sick guy. Was it Gable? It was Gable, right? How can he call this man infirm with his excellent intelligence that he first found a clue to where his brother is?! No, I don't know. He may look healthy on the outside, but he may have an underlying disease. Yeah, and he also goes to the hospital regularly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mJPWiNNWn

While convincing himself like that, Jeong Tae-ui felt depressed that the plan to take this man hostage and threaten him to get out of here should be abandoned.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9JPjYmtT3

The man, who did not know what Jeong Tae-ui was thinking next to him, had not given him any attention since he first said a few words. He said such ceremonial words, such as, "Is there anything wrong with your body, is there any inconvenience in staying, and if you need anything, tell me whenever you need it." Then, as if it were a series of greetings, he continues his speech in a casual tone.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3geKLHTNjn

"Have you considered accepting my offer?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvBLSxMn4i

Very subtly, it's a slightly more gentle voice. It is a low and friendly voice that makes you wonder if a wolf will speak in that voice when he deceives a sheep and tells a clever lie.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiE1qHS1Vo

However, no matter what voice he spoke in, Jae-ui shook his head still as if he was not impressed. The man continued without showing disappointment.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeMdy2gowi

"One type, one type is enough. I won't ask too much. Just slightly better performance than the anti-tank guns on the market today. What we need is more than weapons themselves. Of course weapons are very important weapons touched by Jeong Jae-ui.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa38CSDIrHC

"Since when did Jeong Jae-ui become a famous weapon brand?" Jeong Tae-ui thought to himself. Jae-ui's gaze flew in as if the idea had been conveyed. Jeong Tae-ui turned his head as if he didn't know.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVKjFofQHv

"I don't intend to make any more weapons."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtWh115Lvi

He heard Jae-ui's answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N4VLCzW9e

"Even if you can't get out of here until you accept my offer?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqzGHjZHpX

That's not an offer, it's a threat. It's not a threat that he deserves.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb1V4WlsK7

Turning his head and looking at the birds on the branches, Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue inwardly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYlYDR0fNG

Fortunately, however, he did not appear to be a bad kidnapper. In order to fulfill their demands, they do not use harsh methods such as putting Jeong Jae-ui in a dark and damp dungeon and giving him nothing to eat.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtCBQvdwi0

Of course, no matter how great the environment is, if he can't get out of it, the prison was a prison, but not only for the character Jeong Jae-ui. He wasn't a figure who wanted to roam around widely outside if only the least he needed was met.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJTZORBcio

"If you accept the offer, we will release you here soon. Not only that, of course, but also there's a corresponding reward."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFXCG640uZ

Raman added, but no answer came back. Jeong Jae-ui shook his head without saying a word.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr4g81YYQX

There was a moment of silence.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpgX3wuhiM

But as if it had been a series of conversations so far, Raman nodded as if he knew it would be the case.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq72aDZd76Q

"That's too bad. I'll ask you again after you change your mind. Please let me know whenever you change your mind."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3zrDC1gU7

Jeong Jae-ui still nodded vaguely, without answering.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifmIj4tYVP

If he makes a weapon, it doesn't seem like he's looking for a complicated and massive weapon. He will get it out of here right away.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbavdgCrZsE

He thinks it's a very good situation. If he falls as much as he wants in this heaven and enjoys a leisurely life as he wants, and if he is tired of this life, he can draw a proper design and leave. Of course, there should be a premise that that determination not to make any more weapons will be broken.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgbYoqMPvS

"Then this is your brother....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj6JvdMab1

Raman, who seemed to conclude the story, suddenly changed the subject. And Jeong Tae-ui, who popped up in the topic, turned his head with hesitation.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQEgckc2er

"Oh….me?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GKXOBrZ8N

Jeong Tae-ui, who pointed at himself with a big smile, wondered why this man called him. But when he thought about it, he had something to say to him. He wants to get out of here, so he has to tell them to let him out. Anyway, he was not worth the use of weapons like Jeong Jae-ui, so he could have let him go.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxzgEeoDI3

"How did you know this place?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWRwu68XEE

Raman asked with a smile. It was a gentle smile, as if it were a welcome visit.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncKfKYPBPz

Jeong Tae-ui smiled at him. He thinks it's difficult at heart. He has never been alive if he seems to be fooled by such a smile. Hasn't he survived UNHRDO unharmed by only his senses?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu5xdmb0WQ

"I don't know where this is."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWCaBS1ZhF

Jeong Tae-ui answered politely. Raman raised his eyebrows. Jeong Tae-ui said something behind his back before he said anything.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdAoEN3Ljv

"I don't remember after I went to the night market on Bahep Street and met my brother by chance and fell down after being hit. Then I woke up and found myself here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG4L4Sw0ca

Jeong Tae-ui pointed at the watchman behind him with his finger. The man opened his eyes a little wide when the arrow returned to him, but remained silent with a face that was not very embarrassed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Ru7dM3ni

Raman glanced back at the watchman and said a few words again, unintelligible. It was like asking something. Then he answers with his head down. Raman nodded and turned to Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbb2N5ZnmV

"I see. The night market on Bahep Street......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Co40BYBG

Suddenly he laughed. The wrinkles at the tail of the eyes became thicker.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4y4qxVtoY

"Did you come to Seringue with your friends?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JHJShFReP

"Ah......No, I'm here to find my brother. I couldn't reach him at all."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gypRX8gBs

Jeong Tae-ui thought about it for a few seconds, but he answered gently. If he says, "I accidentally came to Seringue, an unknown island on the east coast of Africa, and I happened to bump into my brother again here.'' there is no one to believe.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eEBT2pkUk

It was only a matter of time anyway.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzH2O03KJN

It will take less than a few hours to find out where this Asian, who is rarely seen on this island, is staying with whom, and what the companions are doing. No, he didn't know that the investigation was already written and was now crossing the door of this annex.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWniVnWJedS

A companion. Gable and Ilay.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BzmWmuJox

Jeong Tae-ui is ready to give an honest answer right away if Raman asks, "Who did you come with?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSbJHa9NJ2

He thought he could tell him that he came with Ilay without hesitation.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcSdYu6OQG

If the person who is looking for Jeong Jae-ui's whereabouts was also trying to catch him, saying, "I can't leave him alone." Gable might be like that, but at least he was never worried as much. However, Raman did not ask Jeong Tae-ui who his companion was. After looking straight at Jeong Tae-ui for a while, he only asked back like this.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKOX2RJFW4

"How did you know he was in Seringue?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvyFPTeXhg

Well...I've only been told, but it's someone else who actually found it. But I hear he's had a hard time, too. They were rather curious about the sudden loss of his whereabouts in Varanasi. How could you hide his tracks so neatly and drag him along?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHwfs7C1Y0

Raman only raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not answer that.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTPQLQ1stx

"In the forest of the world, it's many times easier to hide people than to find them. But...."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA0uBDqs0v

Raman muttered so much to himself, touching his chin still. Rubbing the beard on his chin with the tip of his thumb, he stared at Jeong Tae-ui with thoughtful eyes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZJeKAtdoL

At that moment, Jeong Tae-ui took a step back without realizing it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCg0FNrtlc

The glassy cold snow seemed to pierce the heart. The emotionless, cold eyes were weighing something coldly, as if they had put a chunk of meat on a scale. It was not long before he laughed. Rather than laughing, it was more like twisting the tip of the tongue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNrVEq8xg

"I don't want the location to be known...I knew I wouldn't keep it a secret until the end, but at least I couldn't reveal my location. It's better to keep the people you know at a minimum."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLxF86C58t

The tone changed subtly. Jeong Tae-ui instinctively realized what the emotionless voice, which seemed to be frozen from the bottom of his heart, meant.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzL5oRWkzj

Then.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOTCz3RuAF

"If Tae-ui dies, I die, too."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XDM0WZqb6

It was Jeong Jae-ui who spoke quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz2PjjA5tG

There was no solemnity, no tension, and no pity for the words that would be appropriate to be said solemnly. But it was not the light of threatening or pleading.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA7GS9jNnq

It was just a calm voice telling its own facts.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboso0HjB5R

Raman shut up. His face was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking. The soft smile that had been on their faces until a while ago had disappeared.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkQgDcAzOd

He slowly looked back at Jeong Jae-ui. Irritatingly, but still politely, asks.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMbsN2SLh

"Did you say you'd die if I killed this man?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OHcO3OWj3

Jeong Jae-ui nodded. The gaze touched Jeong Tae-ui's face for a while and then fell awkwardly. Jeong Tae-ui grimaced.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQ9xKCLgz

Raman saw Jeong Tae-ui. For a moment, his expressionless face seemed to have brushed against him. It was a cruel and harsh look.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8A60fVao1

"If I kill this man, you will die......?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMiQrYR2St

Raman's low voice mixed with laughter. Walking one step closer to Jeong Tae-ui, he raised his hand. He tries to grab Tae-ui's chin.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA59ZzKx22n

Jeong Tae-ui reflexively took a step back. He rubs his own neck with a little shyness.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWxY8j1M6L

Why are there so many people aiming for his necks these days? No, but he thought one would be less threatened with life, but he didn't expect someone else to come out looking for life.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5iQEdg3Cb

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and muttered useless words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcjfCT326F

"No, I can't die here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qOXEhWgNa

Although it was not his will, Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue thinking that if he died after hiding his whereabouts in his own way, he would die by Ilay.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwoW7B6wZZ

Raman did not seem to have any intention of chasing Jeong Tae-ui. Stop walking and raise his hand. And while staring at him, he turned to Jeong Jae-ui. Before he knew it, he had returned to that smiling face of the moment before.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmJZ4egIok

"I'll be in trouble if you die. I won't touch him....But I didn't know he was so good that you said you would take your life when your brother died."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRNUTiKl7s

"I'm not saying I'm taking my own life."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CfreuU9cn

Jae-ui shook his head, saying, "That's not it." Then, he thought of it, and he looked at Jeong Tae-ui and said it as if he was making an excuse. However, Jeong Tae-ui nodded as if he understood his brother who hesitated, saying, "It's not that we don't get along well."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2PQt4n8zR

"It's my luck."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMJttmMoGs

Jeong Jae-ui left for a moment and concluded his sentence. There was a faint bitterness in his words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQXXNbMZYB

"Gilsangcheon."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYMwb1oXHI

Raman repeated the words. However, he did not seem to repeat it because he did not know the meaning of the words. There was no wonder in his gaze.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfq9QgXE2Y

"I've heard that your brother gives you good luck, but if I kill him, you'll die too......?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Zw2Nrih4

"I'm lucky to be alive because I'm lucky to have him."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbYmhQ1hHE

Raman shut his mouth at Jeong Jae-ui's words. Maybe it was a little unpleasant.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiwz08wnp0

But the next moment, Jeong Tae-ui suddenly saw a strange light rising above his face. It's a little different from a surprise. Jeong Tae-ui looks at the expression that seems to have remembered something important, or that he has realized, perhaps a quiet surprise.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ox0UyRTy6

"...?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUJ6vZHsJR

It occurred to him that it was strange.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlANHkaVUE

The frozen expression of that Arab man as if he had noticed something, and Jeong Jae-ui's silent mouth in front of him. It's as if the two of them are planning to hide something from Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHkEBy09ug

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him suspiciously. But he was unlikely to say anything convincing. It seemed that the silence would continue. This strange atmosphere was somewhat unpleasant and strangely bitter, so he scratched his head a couple of times while smacking his lips.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55r78uCde4

"I feel embarrassed or uncomfortable listening to it...I'm grateful that you say it so nicely, but....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnXL6tOejq

Jeong Tae-ui murmured without hiding his awkward face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49cBf6knYr

Gilsangcheon. Jae-ui's Gilsangcheon. I've heard it many times so far. Without knowing the reason or the authenticity, I remembered the name as people around me called me.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QIh4rLEOG

However, when he heard that from Jeong Jae-ui himself, he felt awkward and embarrassed. Doesn't it feel like he's giving him even a tremendous favor?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYmN2Y2P9R

However, Jeong Tae-ui blurred his words even before he could finish the last words. This is because he didn't know how to continue talking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmaszquWCM

Raman looked at Jeong Tae-ui with his expression off. The cold glass-like eyes looked at Jeong Tae-ui's every corner of his head as if digging into his head, and then turned around.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpNPl7AJi7

He turned away without saying a word. Following him, who climbed the stairs without saying hello and strode into the corridor, the watchman behind him also stepped back.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqS3wParYD

Only Jeong Tae-ui and Jeong Jae-ui remained in the courtyard.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPBscWO9qO

Nothing changed before he came into this place. The wind was still pleasantly cool and the blue sky was dazzling. Even birds flying between branches and flowers that scatter the scent thick and light whenever the wind blows remain the same.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHvPYEe3uv

In this quiet and peaceful place, only two of them remained for the first time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszNJTepFkG

But it was no longer the same as before. It wasn't a quiet silence. It was a heavy and breathtaking silence.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuMKxYszFH

Jeong Tae-ui looked down at his feet. He was barefoot without shoes on. He also took off his feet following Jeong Jae-ui, who walked barefoot from the room to the corridor. He followed him wherever he went.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmdOeigNMU

There was nowhere to hurt the soles of the feet. There was nothing to hurt the feet in the middle of a flat, smooth stone floor, no corridor, no room with soft lugs, or even a courtyard with bushes growing over soft soil. Even there was a careful hand, and there was no small stone hiding under the grass.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7VM9jmXGL

He clapped his toes. The soil tickled his toes under the grass. Behind Jeong Tae-ui, Jeong Jae-ui sat on the spot where he sat earlier and opened the book again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQtXoVFOtV

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdY1QfdDNe

Suddenly, he lost strength from his body. It felt like the tension that was tightly tied in his heart was loosening.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVm60PRxXa

"What? I was the only one who felt heavy and suffocated."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh0wVjZHN8

Jeong Tae-ui muttered like a sigh, and fell down there. On the bushes, which are not far from Jeong Jae-ui, grass falls down regardless of whether the clothes are filled with grass. He hugged his knee and put one arm on it, and looked at Jeong Jae-ui drowsy.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuv2hXgxU8

As if nothing had happened, he was relieved to look at his brother sitting there for a long time as if he were always there. So, he suddenly asked. Without any hesitation.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhHa1cFMSI

"Am I really your Gilsangcheon?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZIClHqFkR

Jeong Jae-ui's gaze, which was looking through the bookshelf, briefly touched and fell. Jeong Jae-ui nodded silently. Fluttering, the bookshelf goes over one page.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9SWB8yETo

"How come?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qbuLGBxy

This time, the gaze did not come. Just as he focused on the book and couldn't hear it, the answer didn't come back. However, Jeong Tae-ui waited quietly. Then he knew that the answer would come back soon.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasSbIvuMAB

Soon after, Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF8vsKCTZC

"Just because."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgskiH4Lobw

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldvkW7Ojqj

Just one answer came back.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUzrwJkbA5

Jeong Tae-ui's shoulders lost strength. He managed to calm himself down and murmured, "Hey, hyung, it's me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM2PpXXVAj

However, to Jeong Jae-ui, who returned silently, Jeong Tae-ui waited calmly this time. He doesn't think the answer will come back even if he goes throughout his life, so he threw out the words he had picked up in the past.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99zgFlVIm5

"When I was young, you were sick too?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnB2M9Mi4J

"That could be a basis, but it's not a reason."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ox3EFHOxS

"Then what's the reason? If I'm sick, you're sick, so I'm giving you luck, this is too unscientific."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SpNQY0JMR

Originally, science is nothing more than a collection of common results of countless experiences."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn68UUAiCb

"...No, I mean..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LKDHZD3rW

Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPohjdTVXb

His brother was not a bad listener. Rather, when Jeong Tae-ui threw a word, he was the one who pointed out what he didn't want to know.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wHVl8Hpz8

But.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH0lk6caDp

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly sighed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8w4LBjG8n

He just raises his head as he crouches down and looks at the sky. The sun was slowly starting to fall past the highest point above its head. After a few hours, the day will be over again, and today will be submerged in darkness. Like every day.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmAiuCimiA

There was nothing great. There was nothing to change. In the end, there was no great problem in this world. But whether Jeong Tae-ui is Gilgangcheon or not, what does that matter? He doesn't know if misfortune comes from him, but if luck comes, that is good. It was a good thing. If he didn't want to talk, it wasn't important enough to force him out and get an answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN7qdLPuHu

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head alone. And sighs and smiles.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7PxwY9IPp

"Tae-ui, you're quick to catch on. You've been like that since we were young. Should I say that I have a good feeling?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXrkTKjvPv

At that time, Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth. Put a bookmark and cover the book, giving Jeong Tae-ui a look. Jeong Tae-ui slightly frowned at the smiling face. He thought it didn't matter if a person didn't listen at all.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKK3yuhfKi

"Me too."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92lUEk1vqz

He said so and shut up again. And as if he were seeing a stranger for the first time, he slowly looked at Jeong Tae-ui. Slowly from head to toe. As if to find someone he doesn't know in it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95GNmkuY26

Jeong Tae-ui opened his eyes slightly wide. He lowered his gaze and looked still at his hand over his knee. It was a hand that had been attached to the body since birth and was always together, but it looked exceptionally unfamiliar. It looks as unfamiliar as Jae-ui in front of him now. Maybe he looks like that even in his eyes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19r1e9lCFc

Jeong Tae-ui gave him another look.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhydEAqrc3G

But he was Jeong Jae-ui. It is another static that Jeong Tae-ui loves, or does not even recognize that he loves. He laughed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SjZR0um7P

"The reason is too poor....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4KTa9QSME

Jeong Jae-ui also smiled faintly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKEO5nFLDH

As if he had finished what he had to say, he stood up. Jeong Tae-ui also stood up and followed the slow and light steps up the stairs passing by Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJZh7ZYsyv

There is soil on the white and smooth stone. Walking along the traces, Jeong Tae-ui looked at the back of Jeong Jae-ui, who was going five steps in front.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvGaAS4uuz

The backside was straight and straight as always. Just as his sexuality is.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2By36G0o6X

This place was completely blocked from the outside.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7qX1HdeiD

Although there were eight doors in total, one magnificent door in the middle of each of the four corridors and one small side door in the corner where the corridor meets, this annex was completely isolated and existed only as one.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTDWma0L14

The four magnificent doors were firmly locked, although they were certainly not decorative. The large iron door, which seemed to have to be rushed in by several generals, seemed to be impossible to open alone, even if it was not locked.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0A470puxd

The four side gates at the end of the corridor were divided into two branches. The door leading to the interior and the door leading to the outside. The door leading to the interior was in contact with the interior of the building, such as a bedroom or study. And all the doors leading to the outside were locked except for one.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABHeWpvXEe

One of them, even if he went out through the door leading to the courtyard, of course, it was not entirely outside. Although it was divided into high fences, the spacious courtyard, which did not feel closed, was a dead end space.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxnHxslmkx

The other three doors, he doesn't know where each one leads, seem to be the door that goes out of this annex, but two places were locked. Not only was it locked, but the plaster was applied to the gap of the door, so the door itself was not allowed to serve as a door.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zP7J3kB15

The other one. The only entrance left. There, the Arab man stood. He is the man who guarded the door while watching Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2eb0QRuw

Jeong Tae-ui could not know the purpose of the pond, which was squarely carved in the middle. He thought it was a pool, but he couldn't swim in the water that only came up to his thighs, and the water was too cold to think of it as a bathhouse, and the location was in the middle of the center. But that didn't mean to raise fish there. He lay down on his side and moaned with his hands flapping the water.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHOkiy0d7p

He was in trouble. That was the only thought he had in his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEOo1knDqe

Jeong Tae-ui has been spending time here for several days already. Until now, Jeong Tae-ui and Jeong Jae-ui have been trapped here. As Jeong Jae-ui had already been doing so for more than a few months, he led a life that seemed to be filled with water.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybXiDAfo6v

In fact, Jeong Tae-ui could not do that. No, he wanted to live like Jae-ui if he could.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCfls25wRB

As a matter of fact, he was exhausted. The day he spent relaxing his body and mind was so far away. The body that was chased by time and circumstances, and the spirit that was overworked by it, were willing to accept this quiet life.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OfGGV5Cfa

But.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOy4ebDyCe

"I'm scared of him...."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytfMmcXRqv

Jeong Tae-ui lay face down and buried his head on his arm. His arms were cool, his elbows in the water.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WoGUHk9ZN

Ilay. Ilay Riegrow.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrv5oAk1rp

What is he doing out there now? Once he was in a very, very bad mood, it was a good bet. However, it is a problem because he is a human being who will not only be in a bad mood.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHv9C2qE6Y

It was completely blocked from the outside world, so he couldn't hear from it. So he was more anxious.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycVWmYXDYa

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ZykBZTNl

Jeong Tae-ui hit the surface of the water with a slap and a palm. A couple of large red petals, floating above the water, waved along the waves.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWnpyOtijJ

"Ilay......"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡialXDukddV

He spoke the name quietly. So small that he can't even hear it, like the sound of the wind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxRLvIx1Uh

Maybe it's a good thing.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWKtVCwHU

He could get out of his hands here.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhOK3RxWUH

The same was true of Jeong Tae-ui, who is now on the same boat as Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLv7vJbwQP

If he is here, he can avoid the relentless pursuit, the constant insanity, the threat. It may be a little inconvenient because he can't go outside, but that's fine. If he could get away from that creepy, scary guy.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNGIeuGb5b

"That's right. In a way, it went well. Perhaps it would have been nice to stay here with great joy for good fortune.....If I weren't for schizophrenia."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHICpWNGK6

Jeong Tae-ui lowered his head again, which seemed to raise a little. Suddenly, his earlobes seemed to be warming up.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxsAjRiJB

Slowly, he pushed himself forward on his stomach and dipped his head in the water. Bubbles and bubbles leaking from the mouth tickled the cheeks and climbed to the surface.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlK5B3EtNq

Oh, my. This is ridiculous. Now that I can get away from him, why am I trying to get back there? Tae-ui, you're crazy. If I think about it, he might have just clicked his tongue a few times, saying, "He ran away again."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vq1g9CVmB

.......That can't be right.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWyvDU9NaU

Then suddenly, a question crossed his mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48stuOZnpH

What does Ilay think he has about him?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pw0Eu6QCo

"...Pu-Hap!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc9xObVXHh

Jeong Tae-ui raised his head. He couldn't hold his breath any longer. The water streamed down from the wet head. His neck and clothes quickly got wet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1L50Ped20

Jeong Tae-ui, who was breathing hard while touching the eye area with the back of his hand, found a foot standing next to him a couple of steps.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X6BwkKGmc

Jeong Tae-ui looked at his feet, feeling a foreign feeling for a moment. It was barefoot. A few steps ahead, he saw a strange foot. He was wearing leather shoes. Somehow, the bare feet and the feet hidden in the shoes looked so different.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqDUAPU6Ma

When he looked up, there was a familiar face. It's a low-brow, but not friendly face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Rz1NUeIK

When he came to the detached house, the long-named Raman Abid Al-Saud stood there, with his usual gentle smile.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8rXQqyShS

"Oh... Since when have you been there?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Z5rP7L6U

Jeong Tae-ui squeezed the water out of his head and said, Raman answered briefly a while ago, and stared down at him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCFDdJoY1v

He knew he came to the detached house. He saw him go through the corridor to the study. During the day, the main place where Jeong Jae-ui was located was the study or the courtyard, so he used to go to the nearby study first and then to the courtyard if Jeong Jae-ui was not there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pkW5iNxGx

He used to visit the annex once a day and meet Jeong Jae-ui. However, it was not that he stayed for a long time or talked for a long time. There was always one major requirement.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuaUmLYZ3a

Did you feel like accepting my offer today?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy49UFYvR9

If you don't accept, you can't get out of here.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlLy6qiFS1

If you accept it, we promise not only to let you out of here, but also to provide sufficient compensation to you.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ZxjMtRau

However, Jeong Jae-ui's answers to those words were always the same. Looking at the wits, it seemed that the questions and answers continued after Jeong Jae-ui was trapped here. So now Raman doesn't seem to be disappointed or angry, and if Jeong Jae-ui refuses, he would go back and tell him whenever he changes his mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkzpQWj6C2

The same is true today. As he entered the study, he heard the sound of Jeong Jae-ui's greeting from afar, which is not different from any other time, and Jeong Tae-ui turned his attention and lay down next to Jung-jeong's pond. While Jeong Tae-ui rolled around and pointed out the structure of the corridor and dipped his head in the water, he seemed to have finished today's story.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXilxGjKCb

Jeong Tae-ui faced Raman, who looked down at him without telling him what he was thinking, and removed the hair that was soaking wet and stuck to his face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXvvEjIHz7

Is he angry because I dipped my head in the pond? Don't tell me it means anything religious.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb5A9G5q6M

Jeong Tae-ui opened his mouth with a smile.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoHMdqaC1K

"You look scary......Don't tell me that while I'm dipping my head in here, you want to grab me and drown me?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzKdgkOc7e

When Jeong Tae-ui laughed jokingly, Raman raised his eyebrows and burst into a low laugh.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchddvJVQ8J

"You're really Jeong Jae-ui's younger brother. You have a good sense of humor. You look like him."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9UumuQeaf

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR20JLcDiD

Teeth for teeth, eyes for eyes, jokes for jokes. Or is he serious?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf2uvdtCsc

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with white eyes, smacking his lips suspiciously. But he changed the subject without saying "joke" or "serious".

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6rdhCRLRb

"How is it here, is it okay to stay here?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMOh3OtDCh

"Oh....I'm a little frustrated because I don't know what's out there, but I'm fine. It's very pleasant inside."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aBUitYqeL

"That's a relief."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3RFXtCMSp

Raman nodded and smiled.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VN5eLT8xi

Looking at him like this, he even wonders if the man who tried to kill Jeong Tae-ui with a face without an expression recently is the same person as this person. The very next day, he thought it might be a dual personality, smiling softly and politely greeting him as if something had happened.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5MlSBJdPW

But after going through him for a few short days, he realized that wasn't the case.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNKAEw0DPZ

He was a man he didn't want to treat as much as possible unless he inevitably encountered him in a place like this.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NGNnganff

Regardless of the meaning of evil or mean, he felt like his personality was completely incompatible with Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeNhHmNEOT

In fact, Jeong Tae-ui already knew one person, who would be second to none if it were considered that human nature was evil or mean, or that human nature was a mess. Of course, he never had a good personality with him either. He was willing to tear the person's mouth open if someone said, "You guys have a good personality."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIbFZt4Nrr

However, apart from that, there was something that made a man named Raman upset, similar to discomfort, when he was close.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbka0pFz2M8

If he thought about it, he didn't know why. He has never seen such a strange personality. No, he didn't even know that he was a human being who could be admired in many ways objectively. Nevertheless, subtly, this man is uncomfortable. Yeah, it looks very similar to discomfort.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBaK2h1b7I

"Why?" Jeong Tae-ui, who was thinking like that, quickly caught him, who seemed to turn around soon, perhaps because of a formal greeting.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZSsx4F0U

"Oh, by the way."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLm8TWj9PT

However, he regretted it shortly after he caught him. He grabbed his sleeve without realizing it, and his icy eyes glanced at his hand. Quickly let go of his hand, he shook off his sleeve without saying a word, and his voice was still soft.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIJhvwGlKP

"Do you have anything to say?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ2BsvyiJK

"I'd like to get out of here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTpyXWjNxU

Jeong Tae-ui said so, even though he clearly knew the seeds wouldn't work. Perhaps Raman was in the same vein as going to Jeong Jae-ui every day to ask him to make a weapon, even though he knew clearly that he would be rejected.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiNV1KAM6j

Raman listened to him and remained silent for a while. He stops walking and looks down at him quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9MAZTThOd

"You want to go out?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULHQEMA7L6

"Yeah. I'm....I've left something out there"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvJcFOLCgo

"Is it related to T&R's Ilay Riegrow and Ling Shinru, the son of Ling Hou Long, that it was left behind?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZBMvtgiB

Jeong Tae-ui closed his mouth. Unfortunately, his mouth was distorted, but he soon regained his composure. Come to think of it, there was no way he didn't know. The time has already passed to remain even after completing the investigation into how Jeong Tae-ui came here.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQGwxGsF9A

Jeong Tae-ui looked straight at him and smiled.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2EvThxJpu

"You know it well."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zYJYNYr3P

"I met my home country friends at the mosque yesterday evening and talked for a while, and it became a hot topic there."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MNbPNevaZ

Jeong Tae-ui raised his eyebrows. Raman raised the tip of his lips slightly as if smiling or drying.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSw0ZuWhW9

"A friend of mine who visited this place for a vacation went out yesterday morning and was attacked by a man named Riegrow."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDzgGUeaHa

"Bong..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlpV9NJD71

"He said he was looking for you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCJYSr2y1t

Raman's lips were raised a little more. However, the eyes, which are not very pleasant lights, rather close to the light of annoying look down without ever falling from Jeong Tae-ui. As if trying to find something in his face, he looked down on strange things such as snakes and reptiles.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gg4HyRqjT

The smile disappeared from Jeong Tae-ui's face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJbU9Ob2Q6

He has received as many eyes as he can. It was so disciplined that it did not shrink to this extent.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaNvNDrJdB

But this gruesome, obnoxious, yes, near-disgusting feeling of sinisterness was different from any threat Jeong Tae-ui has ever received.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdP1Pb7cX

"He's looking for me......?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjyG0SYVyV

"Of course, at that time, I was on my way back to Seringue because I had heard of an unwelcome guest in my house, but the poor fellow was wronged and had to get out of Seringue immediately because he was a Muslim with a detached house around here. There's no place around here that has such excellent medical equipment."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTezDPxbZR

"........"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaKQQjkVaV

"I've been told that unfortunately, my friends are afraid of the monster and are reluctant to go out. Who is he? So it was easy for me to identify who he was."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmgod9rWok

Raman made a slow conclusion. And he glares at Jeong Tae-ui with subtle eyes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg4AEH8a38

"It was easy to recognize him because he was familiar with the rumor. T&R's untouchable jerk, Ilay Riegrow. If you're with that famous person, you don't seem to be as shabby and insignificant as you look."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtEkSxbPpb

Raman's way of speaking has changed. A little lower, a little smoother. However, the faint smile did not change at all, creating a more faint displeasure.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvmEoz3KyO

"Don't think wrong. No matter how big it is, it is just a business. No matter how long it flies, it's just a small family that talks big in the East. Do you think they can affect me in any way? You're welcome. Even if they poke me somewhere else, it's not hard. If I put Jeong Jae-ui and you in a dungeon where no one knows, and pretend that I don't know, that's it. They went out on their own, I let them go, so to speak. Because you think they're gonna be able to walk into my house and dig? You're welcome. They can never do that."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKdNgy6mOK

Words that penetrated into the ear quietly continued without hesitation. Jeong Tae-ui looked at him without expression, without blinking once. Not a few steps away, he was looking at Jeong Tae-ui with an unhesitating gaze as much as Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12m4uXvt0Y

"This is Gilsangcheon......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpfH2oXkUQ

Suddenly, a cold scornful voice came out. Cold and cruel eyes scan Jeong Tae-ui's face again. It's as close as hatred. But hate, there was no reason for him to feel that way. Wouldn't it be better if it was the other way around?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqE9vvtJY7

"You look nothing like Jeong Jae-ui. You ugly rascal, you give him luck? Funny. It's not funny either."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp89pW5yz6

Raman spat out with his teeth. Then suddenly, he glares at Jeong Tae-ui with strange eyes and speaks softly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXPCcSuh7C

"How come he's like you......?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUWqDuXCYi

It's more like talking to himself, not asking for an answer. He didn't have to answer, but Jeong Tae-ui looked at him silently and slowly opened his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ngSsIsQAv

"I don't know why it's me, and I don't think I'll give him that, so it's funny or not funny to hear...I don't want to hear it from anyone who's got that ugly bum."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX8vAZzxgp

Raman shut up. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ykg5j68e4

Suddenly, he opens his lips as if he were smiling, and speaks very politely in a tone that goes back to the previous one.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4jpFfh5qr

"In conclusion, you can't get out of here. You can go out together when Jeong Jae-ui goes out. So if you want to get out of here, I want you to help me and convince him to accept my demands."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd9S6fbg2g

Raman said without hesitation. With that outspoken remark, Tae-ui realized that maybe he was going to say it from the beginning.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXuY8QeKib

His gaze was uniformly cold. Jeong Tae-ui looked at him without saying a word, wondering if there would be any heat in his eyes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIILwjqVY5F

"As you may have heard, I'm not asking too much of him. A weapon named after him, that's all. Of course, it's a lie to say that I don't expect anything great if he makes it himself, but if he makes it, it's not much different from an ordinary anti-tank gun."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyehI9IqB65

"...I don't know that his name has become such a famous weapon brand. Does anyone who confronts you hate the name Jeong Jae-ui?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd8v4TEoSD

Raman laughed aloud as Jeong Tae-ui spoke softly, showing a disgusting look. Even when he laughed out loud, that gaze, which was always cool, was always bothering me.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qwf2hviQ8

"You are not as quick to grasp the situation as Jeong Jae-ui. He's already figured everything out from the moment I first mentioned making weapons...What's important is those who can take Jeong Jae-ui's name to our army. To put it mildly, some of the warlords could easily be taken in."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNcJ8pS6vE

Raman smiled joyfully and slightly leaned out to Jeong Tae-ui. With his face close to him, he speaks pleasantly by lowering the volume.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrTUtVmz5e

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him without blinking once.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNOtPMsVno

Indeed. What this man wanted was a weapon. It is a weapon named Jeong Jae-ui. Jae-ui handing over a new blueprint to him was like an implicit consent to hand over his name as well.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC44drvekN

Raman looked at every inch of Jeong Tae-ui's face as if looking carefully. Then he straightens his posture and smiles again with a soft smile as usual. The tone of saying, "Jeong Jae-ui is a rare, great talent." was also back to its original form.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKGnPh0wT

......Hyung. I don't like this guy.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHauRkjODty

Jeong Tae-ui thought firmly at the moment. If there was Jeong Jae-ui next to him, he would have shouted so in front of this man. Considering the situation, in Korean.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJreNxDBc8

Raman took a step back. It seemed like he was going back this time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrNhHyUSzN

"As you may have heard, Jeong Jae-ui only needs to make a weapon. Then I'll get you and Jeong Jae-ui out of here immediately. So I hope you can persuade Jeong Jae-ui."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8vPZzjcDF

"I don't want to force him to do something he doesn't want to do."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dTbDnT00q

Raman raised his eyebrows. However, he shrugged and continued, saying, "At your convenience."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzJyyjJxBi

"You'll have to stay here until then, anyway. Feel free to tell me if there's anything uncomfortable....Oh, I see. For the time being, I'd like you to refrain from watching the night market in Bahep."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu3gpXptKA

He smiled calmly and said so in a polite tone, and then turned away.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhhcnbfyHL

Jeong Tae-ui stood there, walking toward the corridor on the west side and only looking at him coming out through the door at the end. Outside the opening door, he could see short trees as if they were garden trees. There was a glimpse of a wall covered with gray walls among the trees.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpFOiFHD2I

"...I don't have a clue where I am."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvzVaaUrYf

Jeong Tae-ui sat down with a sigh after the open door was closed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLfYS4Gy1T

No more water droplets fell from the hair soaked in water. It was still wet, so when he touched his hair, his hands were wet, but it wasn't to the point of dripping on the floor. He looked a little thin talking to that man.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqPDJJJ1uy

"I don't like that guy. Raman Abid Al-Saud. I don't like that guy. Damn it, I'm gonna catch him like that."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7t8JKjagC

Jeong Tae-ui cut off the name and murmured, pronouncing it with strength. He glanced back to see if it was a watchman or a familiar face, but it was none of his business. If he wants to tell him, tell him. If he understands Korean.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCJMukM6s9

A friend of mine who visited this place for a vacation went out yesterday morning and was attacked by a man named Riegrow. He said he was looking for you.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA5Dn3T3nB

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgie90HOfI5

Jeong Tae-ui hesitated and crouched his hand on the floor. He scratched the stone floor on his nails.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1WnmGQdgJ

He said he was looking. Riegrow.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuFOvC1YoM

Suddenly his heart ached.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAEcNJsZ5M

It seemed to show what kind of face he would have. He thinks he knows what kind of face he would have caught someone with.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzwtmw0xeH

He's looking for him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiokYiIClO4

The fact that he had already guessed, somehow knocked hard on his ear.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a8DQ20Tbq

"Uh..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9u2WJ5ZQ7

Jeong Tae-ui raised his hand and put it on his hot ears. However, the well-received hands on the stone floor were of little help.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyULyxMmk2G

Jeong Tae-ui lied down on the spot. Then, he slowly crawled toward the pond at his bedside, and put his head back in it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqORfU2Yb

I want to get out of here. Hurry up and do it a little bit faster.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfddoQEuTh

Jeong Tae-ui did not lose his voice even after dipping his head in the water for a long time to faint, so he couldn't move until the watchman approached and knocked on Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxGXDdt1Ui

What should I do to get out?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnVM2iaddd

Jeong Tae-ui sat next to the pond, looked through himself with eyes as if looking at a lunatic, and thought while staring blankly at the watchman returning to the door.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eAUVmmyUV

But I couldn't think of anything. What should I do? How can I get out? It would be nice if there was a way to get out of here secretly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJSZUBtlv

"It must be hard."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YpgL6t4ux

Without thinking for too long, Jeong Jae-ui replied.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3IGBM9llP

"Uh......is that right? Is there anything else? In Islamic architecture, there's like a hole just in case......."

"When you build a castle or a building of some size, you can expect it, but you don't know if it exists in this simple villa, and even if it does, it won't be connected to this annex."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs3n2zpUW0

Jeong Jae-ui added seriously, "He's not a fool enough to lock people in a separate house with a hole, the owner of this place." Jeong Tae-ui muttered disappointingly, "Yes." and began to move his stopped hand again while wiping his hair with a towel. Jeong Jae-ui, who was looking at Jeong Tae-ui's expression, asked quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoZWAvWuSR

"Do you want to get out of here?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZcJ6gpo8K

Jeong Tae-ui did not answer his low question.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadxWs6bBqL

He wants to go out. And probably Jeong Jae-ui didn't answer immediately, so Jeong Jae-ui probably noticed the answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vlMTo6tA

Jeong Tae-ui wanted to get out of here. Earlier, the same urgent impatience as right after hearing the short news outside had subsided to some extent, but in his mind, there was still a ripple of jutting, and anxiety.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8qc8S7yG7

It's simple to get out of here. As Raman said, it is only necessary for Jeong Jae-ui to give him a proper blueprint as he wishes. Jeong Jae-ui clearly did not want to do so and said he would not intend to make weapons again, but he would nod if Jeong Tae-ui asked.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpcr0iYLFI

But he didn't want to. He doesn't want to make Jeong Jae-ui do anything against his will because of his personal work.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMf4vEWpPm

Jae-ui also knew that Jeong Tae-ui thought so, so he also knew that Jeong Tae-ui wanted to go out, but did not open his mouth first.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v35pxufhN

Jeong Tae-ui groaned with dissatisfaction and rubbed his head like a towel. It was almost dry now, so there was no more water to wipe off on the towel.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6TsuJLn58

Jeong Tae-ui glanced at Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXOmXTf6pe

He was sitting in a chair by the window next to one side of the study and listening to music. Raman, who said he would bring anything he wanted so that he wouldn't feel uncomfortable, saved it without saying anything if there was an album that Jeong Jae-ui wanted to hear or a book he wanted to read.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeCHB0TaZE

Yeah, he wants to go out, but in fact, he might be much happier staying here.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCheEyycjTV

Jeong Tae-ui hung a towel around his neck while washing his hair and looked around the study with a little tired of it. He still clearly remembers the surprising memory when he first entered this study. At first glance, it was a simple study. A large desk, a bookshelf, a chair by the window, the chair where Jae-ui is sitting now, a few ornaments on the shelf, a flowerpot where a small flower tree grew, sound equipment and countless albums on the other side of the bookcase.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA3EdUJFLD

That desk and bookshelf had been seen in the General Secretary's Office of UNHRDO. It may be the same thing, but it was very similar. And rumors circulating among the members said that the desk and bookshelf were equivalent to the cost of decorating the entire multimedia classroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvUQu54kFo

That chair, Yes, that chair where Jeong Jae-ui is sitting was seen at an exhibition of famous furniture artists abroad shortly after being discharged from the military. Looking at the catalog of the exhibition introduction, which was displayed in a booth with separate partitions at the last corner of the exhibition hall, it didn't seem to be just a feeling that it looked very similar to the chair that boasted an astronomical price.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LR4i4kP3t

Perhaps that's why, while those pots and ornaments looked unusual, Jeong Tae-ui lost his words in the last noticeable sound equipment.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnGEn6EBbq

It cannot be said to be a mania, but Jeong Tae-ui was interested in sound devices as his friends were usually interested in cars and motorcycles. So he knew very well that just that speaker was about the price of a small apartment lease in a big city.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU4O21U2uM

It was a very new realization, but the owner of this annex was the Arab royal family. Even if he is far away from the succession ranking, he is the one who holds oil money. Jeong Tae-ui, who thought that far, kicked his tongue disapprovingly, recalling Raman's face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSSfefPWur

Indeed, he already said everything he had to say just to have a separate house of this size in such a place.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgH9zDCdBN

"I think people who bite a diamond spoon will have prejudice......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMfTbWG51J

Come to think of it, it really is. Neither Ilay nor Shinru, nor the man named Raman, were all unsatisfactory.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOHsC9QyXP

"Or did his personality become like that because he has a lot of money?..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jyvX69svQ

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head while seriously considering the prejudice.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxB6KJsSAw

No. He shouldn't be prejudiced. Jeong Tae-ui grew up in his head from an early age because he was a victim of prejudice as his brother.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CMsDLzWS1

It must be strange to have such a smart personality, such a smart personality that there must be social problems, and if he is so smart, he must be an unlucky human being anyway, he couldn't understand just by hearing those words accidentally.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL2nYAAfvl

So he tried not to listen to general prejudice. When he thought of a human being called Raman, his prejudice seemed to deepen.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAgWjaJuA6

Jeong Tae-ui sighed as he sat comfortably in a chair that was on par with the price of the house and looked out the window.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMqPDyYbOt

He thinks it's good. In any case, he was providing the best convenience to Jeong Jae-ui. At least, he did not perform violent treatment, whether environmentally or in action, to fulfill his needs. It must have been a happy life for Jae-ui to live quietly, studying books or things he wanted to read and study as he wanted, in a situation where anything he wanted came into his hands.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UChnIiaEb

Jeong Tae-ui sat on the floor and held his chin on his arm over his knee and looked at Jeong Jae-ui still. And then he murmured.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNbJZWiF7

"What if that man gets tired of waiting like that and runs around saying he'll cut your neck if you don't make it right away?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5fCF49uz2

Jeong Tae-ui recalled the eyes that he could not read. He didn't think he was such a hot-tempered person. But if that happens, what will Jeong Jae-ui do? Should he nod because there is nothing more precious than life?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQoIKW4g0

He has never thought about it, but Jeong Jae-ui, who Jeong Tae-ui knew, was unlikely. After thinking for a while with an indifferent face, he thought it would be most like Jeong Jae-ui to suggest an alternative that would satisfy both.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqeieFFxya

Even if he rushed to cut his throat, he would save his life by suddenly breaking the blade.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CuW4JfwXf

Jeong Jae-ui shook his head at Jeong Tae-ui's words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPBUeWMkNo

"He's not such an emotional or hot-tempered person. He is patient, very meticulous, and cold. He's a person who can kill and wait as long as he wants to get what he wants, so you don't have to worry about that."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk9FzA1GxZ

Jeong Tae-ui recalled Raman. And he looked back at what Jae-ui said, who would have seen him longer than he did.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGYl0FzWvX

Then someone suddenly comes to mind, sighs and mutters to himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF9TxHD6rT

"It's the complete opposite of someone."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Tc7smO4H

Jeong Tae-ui knew a person who did not hesitate to tear a person to death immediately as soon as the blood boils, as his feelings said.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVudrVm52j

As soon as he remembered him, Jeong Tae-ui wiped his head and rubbed it with a cold towel. Thinking of the face that would be running around madly somewhere outside the fence of this annex, Jeong Tae-ui closed his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgjbxpwbB

He thought it was okay to hide here as it is. Yes, it might be better to enjoy a quiet and quiet life here, locked up but a little bit unfortunate, than to live next to the madman.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCRZ6yesNv

A man named Raman always talked about a dungeon, but considering his attitude of taking money to provide for him and treating him sincerely as a valuable guest for Jeong Jae-ui, who doesn't know how long he will stay, it wasn't likely. So it would be nice to live a comfortable life with his brother in this small paradise.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIID27Dg1gQ

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡineeNn7q30

Still, I should go out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dp6tinetl

That's what he thought.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3e2qAHwnG

Jeong Tae-ui clenched his fist with his hand holding his chin in his hand because of the nervousness that rose again from his chest. Then, he murmurs softly, saying, "My cheek is scratched by my fingernail."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8A6CI8xOP

Jae-ui was looking at Jeong Tae-ui silently and asked.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUJtcZaAJU

"Who's the opposite?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLR4nez8kr

"Hmm? Uh...Ilay....Riegrow."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwa6o11AW8

For some reason, it was hard to say the name right away. Jeong Tae-ui slowly said the name only after taking a break from the monster-like man and Jeong Tae-ui's story, no matter how scary he was, no matter how genius he was.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviq4xp5I03

Jeong Jae-ui nodded.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamrJjztPN

"Ah. Kyle's younger brother......"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lasQ1mWIA

Jae-ui said so and shut up again. He kept his mouth shut for quite a while after that. Jeong Jae-ui, who had been silent while Jeong Tae-ui, who had become awkward for nothing, said little, opened his mouth after considerable silence.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL1m5bODVO

"If it's him, I've seen him.....Tae-ui, did you get close to that person?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxw1Pk93jY

His careful words made Jeong Tae-ui feel very complicated. He doesn't think they're close enough to hear that they're close. And also, he didn't want to hear that they were close.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPnhmmJzjl

If he's asking if he's close without knowing what kind of human being Ilay Riegrow is, he doesn't know again, but if he has seen him, Jeong Jae-ui must have figured out what kind of person he is.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDzK1JVVAX

But he's asking if we're close. Isn't that too much?....

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb39rdzwp6

Jeong Tae-ui felt disappointed by Jeong Jae-ui, but soon changed his mind. Perhaps, unexpectedly, Jeong Jae-ui and Ilay had a short meeting that made a good impression in their own way. Kyle introduced him and greeted politely.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrccXO3zd26

"No, we're not that close, but......How did you meet up with Ilay?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdmvDeppyL

"Hmm....It was time for T&R to make a gun and test-fire a prototype, but he fired at me, saying he was curious about my luck."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzjFPfKcpr

When Jeong Jae-ui said something that seemed insignificant, Jeong Tae-ui looked at him in shock.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh15Z1lZ77

Ilay Riegrow, he didn't know his temper, but he didn't know he would have done that. Besides, it's kind of weird to ask him if he's close to this brother who talks about it calmly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeRcCdez4J

"We're not close. We're not close. He's so impatient that he can eat me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SsUkiQXC4

Jeong Tae-ui waved his hand. It wasn't a lie, but he stopped talking there because he couldn't think of a fact to tell in detail.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPjszheFE5

Jeong Jae-ui looked at Jeong Tae-ui as if he wanted to say something, but he said nothing.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1MxR4cJuG

There was a moment of silence. Jeong Tae-ui quietly looked at the grain of wood on the floor in silence and asked quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29AZwkL4af

"So you, you don't like him?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNKMf042Co

It was only after he said it that he thought he shouldn't have said it. He didn't have to do anything about asking. Moreover, it is none of Jeong Tae-ui's business what Jeong Jae-ui thinks of him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTk7IUqdzX

But he's not that bad. No, he's sure he's a bad guy, but judging by the image he tried to shoot like that.....He's enough. But still.......

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo9cv6DijX

Jeong Tae-ui murmured in his mouth and picked up thoughts that were more of a curse than a compliment. While looking at Jeong Tae-ui, Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP11w9ce83K

"I haven't seen him since, so I haven't had anything to think about. By the way...I might hate it a little bit."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe3EFkH7lm

"Huh? Why?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcjR1D310L

Jeong Tae-ui asked back, wondering. But he did not answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6GGjVp487

Then, the record stopped. The sound stops when the board spins. Jeong Jae-ui stood up from his seat and walked toward the component.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnmBnxJz0D

Seeing the fresh back, Jeong Tae-ui thought he didn't want to talk more. Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head. There was no disagreement that he was a bad guy, but it's not so refreshing to hear that he might cut it like that and hate it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ffUKAVMbt

But he suddenly came to his senses while trying to mutter, saying, "He has a good place in his own way." He realized that there was nothing to answer when asked to pick out what it was like to be a good place.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lK2xRkJy6

Looking at Jeong Jae-ui's white fingertips that gently crossed over the album to see which of the albums he was stuck in, Jeong Tae-ui suddenly recalled a clear white hand in his memory.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzV2t3JRxP

Jeong Tae-ui knew the hand.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgnScHNGlc

Jeong Tae-ui knows what the hand looks like, what it feels like, how it moves on the skin.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaGqvRMdGe

Suddenly, he thought he wanted to touch that hand. The white and beautiful hands that are always hidden in hideous gloves. Smooth nails like glass. That hand gesture that contains strength but is not crude.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCJ6tTYSMg

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0PUspxtjb

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtRuyUdx7a

He has been thinking about weird things.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfZWWKCPmO

He laid down on the floor. The cool wooden floor felt as good as the stone floor outside heated in the sun. However, while feeling the pleasant feeling with his back and shoulders, Jeong Tae-ui thought of white hands.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSUuvG8pUV

"I guess I really have a mental breakdown......"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm6DnMSmNk

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly muttered to himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfmFZI7HQg

And at one point, he slapped himself on the cheek. The touch, which slapped me quite painfully, was much spicier than intended.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WvZ6jjcOS

Aya, Jeong Tae-ui, who rolled around his face and rubbed his cheeks with tears in his eyes, felt Jeong Jae-ui's back and sat down again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU13m78QVo

"Why are you doing this all of a sudden?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFj1IlcBYy

Jeong Jae-ui says with a faint smile. Jeong Tae-ui shrugged his shoulders, equivocating, saying, "No, well."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYWn6lbd5h

If it's something that he has to think about and think about alone to get an answer, he doesn't think about it. If they meet again someday, they could have grabbed each other by the collar and asked. (Then he might break his wrist before he heard the answer.)

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjx6MMpatO

Jeong Tae-ui looked at Jeong Jae-ui's white hand, which was different from Ilay's. And reached out and grabbed that hand for no reason. Jeong Jae-ui raised his eyebrows in wonder, but he stayed still.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUTPXUxqUT

While holding his hands still, Jeong Tae-ui thought for a moment that it would be a strange sight to see the two grown-up brothers holding hands from the side, but even he erased it from his head thinking what would happen.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSqbrTLSMA

Suddenly, Jeong Tae-ui's gaze fell down. There was a foot as white as a hand. Even though he went out to the courtyard a while ago, he can't see any traces of dirt on his feet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPSERxvga

Come to think of that.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h76RH3YHR

"Where are your shoes? You're barefoot."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMinuUtZwvV

When Jeong Tae-ui asked, Jeong Jae-ui looked suspicious. He looked down at his naked feet, leaning his head as if it were strange for him to ask.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdPmKfsfF0

Jeong Tae-ui probably wouldn't have asked until the day he left here if he hadn't seen Raman's feet earlier. He didn't think it would have been strange here.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZnHJfkUTv

"Well, I haven't seen shoes since I came here. Sometimes they bring shoes only when they allow me to go out to see Bahep. I didn't really care."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU8riNQzD8

Jeong Tae-ui frowned.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTiVQ7SMVy

He doesn't know exactly what it means to not give shoes, but the meaning that comes to mind right away is confinement. Of course, he won't have to step on the outside ground because he doesn't have shoes, but the word confinement suddenly emerged as a meaningful image.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOoW9164Vi

"...I don't like it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNlQQv6sau

Jeong Tae-ui blurted out. Jeong Jae-ui leans his head slightly as if he were groping for the context of the words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2GRvvA0Ft

"Why don't I wear shoes?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgmB7SrNVI

"No, that's not it. That man. I don't like him."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUDtnmCVw5

Jeong Jae-ui looked into Jeong Tae-ui's face, which showed a sulky light.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55UshFYIkd

"What did he say to you?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZhkafJfLt

"He didn't say anything in particular, but his personality and way of doing things didn't match."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr2kFoWTsL

Jeong Tae-ui said so, but inside, he clicked his tongue. It sounds like a child. He didn't really like or dislike anyone, he didn't think much about it. It was much more rare to speak out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxRByGCTub

But.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNyebmYrYf

The subtle tone of voice that spoke of the outside news. The eyes that smile but don't smile. A gleaming gaze as if observing him

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JBYhJFe1u

"......What's the point of coming so often when he keeps getting rejected anyway? If he doesn't have enough time, tell him to come a little slow."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcR3JGUnJl

"But these days, yes, he hasn't walked much since you came."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwLQI5yKf5

Jeong Tae-ui frowned strangely.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko3TvKmjkm

"He comes every day."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws3nAxzZXw

"Well...But before that, he almost stayed here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qnwy14hvD

".......What is he doing here?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYg48OTJFK

Jeong Tae-ui stared at Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DkHr4Dm1E

Whenever Raman came there, he seemed strangely familiar with every corner of this annex because it belonged to him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYGBWz72D3

However, if he thinks about it after listening to Jeong Jae-ui's words, it may have been that he was familiar with the space itself, not just because it belonged to him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFzin6zeA6

"He usually asks questions. Just like you used to do to me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpWq0SNYRO

As he often said to him, Jeong Tae-ui soon understood after hearing that.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAeTETFIoY

This quiet brother rarely spoke to others first or made his point. Most of them simply returned only the necessary words even if others talked to them.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIp9adqmfL

But he knew a lot, and all he knew was not just dictionary knowledge. He excelled in all areas of judgment, understanding, and rational reasoning in any situation.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJa0AIREi

Jeong Tae-ui also used to hold onto Jeong Jae-ui and tell stories when there was something to think about. Then Jeong Jae-ui was listening to what he was saying, and then he was able to fill in the missing parts of the story and take out or correct the overflow parts, leading him to the conclusion he needed. There were times when it was a quarrel with a friend, times when it was an unresolved task, and times when it was an important choice to go through in life. And the conclusion obtained by talking with Jeong Jae-ui has never disappointed Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bxeEHCXOP

Jeong Tae-ui once said with a smile, "If my brother doesn't have anything to live for, even if everyone in the world dies of hunger without work, it won't be like my brother, but I can be a counselor."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFEn0ydnEG

"....I didn't expect a counselor here. But I don't seem to need counseling at all, what the hell are you saying?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyTNhjLyrr

"Well, we usually talk about the trend of the power struggle....It's not much to say to others."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeFDujaWBg

Jeong Tae-ui muttered, "Ha!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBposM77GYD

He doesn't know if it's because he hates him, but he thinks he's living a comfortable life. It didn't sound enough to kidnap and imprison him to produce weapons, and every day it sounded like squeezing a person's head in the name of counseling.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemFxbHHrdl

Jeong Tae-ui, who muttered, "Poor brother." collapsed on the spot as if he had collapsed. He closed his eyes feeling the grain of wood touching his cheek.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Nq7oA7fu

"It's just the way he does it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnm6kQrOsX

The voice was pleasant but he didn't answer because he wanted to hear the voice again. The voice calls his name once again. Tae-ui opened his eyes instead of answering.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIJETwwLML

"Do you want to go out?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaAOkzLTVI

Jae-ui asked quietly. He looked at Jeong Tae-ui with a calm eye.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazaCd61LRP

If Tae-ui nods, he will nod, too. If Jeong Tae-ui wanted to go out, he must have found a way to go out for Jeong Tae-ui. And there's only one way he can.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56JsyavKSS

Jeong Tae-ui was silent for a while and murmured.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX5rIWfQ2d

"Uncle is looking for you. Yeah, Kyle was looking for you, too."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFnfeQH0EO

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozVB5IuwTQ

"I didn't find you because I wanted to take you back. I just need to meet you, and that's enough. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we just missed each other."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlrmyERn4q

Jeong Jae-ui nodded, almost invisible. He couldn't tell at first glance what he meant.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPcZD0ZGfz

"I don't mind going back alone."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPmSerH6QW

Jeong Tae-ui said. If Jeong Jae-ui wants to stay here, it is okay for Jeong Tae-ui to go back alone. It was also like saying that he didn't want to stay here.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6JrJSiEUt

But this time, Jeong Jae-ui shook his head. The meaning was soon known. Raman will not let Jeong Tae-ui go out alone and threaten Jeong Jae-ui's confinement. He thought so. Jeong Tae-ui wanted to go out and also had to go out, but he did not intend to carry out his will until he broke Jeong Jae-ui's will.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWaiKIQury

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLIEQspLQy

Sorry, Ilay. You will be looking for me there for a while. I might have to stay here for a while. But don't be too angry because I also share the nervousness that you may be feeling. And... If I meet you someday, please don't kill me immediately.....

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIIZpqspyq

***

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju756g4ndv

He woke up from a deep sleep.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdD7ZWUkLI

He felt like he heard a voice from somewhere. But when he opened his eyes, there was no one there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1eiLXb6x4

"Ilay..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvudW3DwJg

Jeong Tae-ui called the name of the person who seemed to have called him a while ago. Apparently he called himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqkocekkgC

However, when he wakes up, he realizes that he is the only one there, he must have dreamed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs4zO9kLlz

A dream that penetrates into the dark night is a fleeting melt of memory, and he sat on the bed and soon felt his memory melt. The dream faded rapidly in his head. In a few more minutes, he thought he'd forget whose name he woke up from.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRIqPSPSvW

Jeong Tae-ui looked down at his hand.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdHcDrPXZU

The hands, which lay as if they were thrown out on a soft, textured quilt, looked as if they were in the dark.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdJb1J8Cuj

From the window a little away from the bed, so that the sun wouldn't shine right away, the anchor was pouring. It's still 1 or 2 o'clock. Is it a little past midnight at the earliest? the deepening admonition of the night.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf4w5bxjmx

He was so curious when he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He can guess the time as the body feels. Most of the time, if approximate, was right.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs2OTEhbXN

He didn't know it was because he fell asleep early. The reason why he opened his eyes so clearly during the night.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUGu0tw3e

"Ha......" Jeong Tae-ui sighed quietly. The quiet breathing was heard exceptionally loud in the stillness of the whole thing. He thought he could fall asleep again soon if he lay down and went to sleep like this. But somehow he felt sorry to see the glaring moonlight, so he rose from his seat.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKbKFOqcfi

Is everyone asleep? At this time, everyone would fall asleep and the inside of this annex would have been soaked in silence except for a few guards who patrolled occasionally.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIylzzi7FPQ

He got out of bed. Then he goes to the window and stands.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszghHKTKW1

He couldn't see the moon very well. It was floating on top of his head, covered in a window. He has to look up close to the window to see the bright light on his face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf07g2yMmsJ

What he sees is stars that are brighter than the moon.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKQufCjyxS

A thickly curved white stem was above the sky. The Milky Way. Here in Seringue, the most beautiful star sea was flowing overhead.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeEUVD2DMM

Jeong Tae-ui breathed out a quiet breath again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZhbWgZun9

He turned his steps. He's going outside and lying down in the middle and looking up at the sky.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyw8rBw6A7

He suddenly remembered his childhood. It was a very young age. But the memory was partly glimpsed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFvZPNQQBL

It is said that it was a day of meteor showers.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHDtF4Iczi

A few days before the forecast of the meteor shower, his father and mother took them into a mountain that night. He thinks they drove for hours, bored, but it's an exaggerated memory of his childhood, so he doesn't know if it's really that far.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkXMtOBqsw

They ran into the dark mountain, stopped the car at the foot, and walked up from there for a long time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpaU0J9OMq

He remembered being happy as if they were going on a picnic. The place, where they started excitedly preparing snacks and arrived long enough to get tired of them, was a land that was hollowed out in the middle of the mountain. There was only a hole in the middle of the forest, and there were no tall trees or short trees, and only the bushes were rustling under their feet. There were already a few other people there, besides them, hanging around. Maybe they were the ones who came to see the meteor shower.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcz3OF8byY

Even though he wore thick clothes, he remembered shaking and asking, "When will the stars fall?" at night, because it was very cold in the mountains. Meanwhile, Jeong Jae-ui was looking at the sky without saying a word.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBdy2jKGhj

Jeong Tae-ui also asked several times when the stars fell, but eventually swallowed the question.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicx3h7ZbpW

Stars full of the sky and the milky way that were clearly distinguishable.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf39NYaqq9T

He even felt a faint fear. If all those stars fall. At the same time, however, there was a small desire for it in one corner. How beautiful it must be. If he put on those beautiful things that look cold and stinging.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8tp5zdZKB

He remembered looking at the stars that filled the sky, his heart was very hot and stuffy. Now, the feeling would be called emotion or emotion, but the sense was more intense and affectionate than the language.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQok1FTuzt

"I fell asleep, so I couldn't see the meteor shower..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCBcb56V8e

Jeong Tae-ui grinned and muttered.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5yyJAzQcG

He thought he fell asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he was in the car going home. When asked why they didn't wake him up, all the family members insisted, "We woke you up, but you didn't wake up." When Jeong Tae-ui, who had not seen the meteor shower that he had expected at most, was sulking with a sulky face, Jeong Jae-ui, who looked at the sky without sleeping, spoke quietly to Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGXgBlDZO5

"If you wait, you'll see a meteor shower like today again."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3caCDa2fQ

"Where was that?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gDqKbvN7W

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly muttered and recalled his memory. All he could remember was that they drove home for quite a long time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANzTjGND0s

Will it still be there? It's already well past twenty years. Maybe it's already been developed and cut down and there's not even a trace left by now. Still, suddenly remembered memories drew the desire to visit the place.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ19uGTe9hu

"You might know."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZDCpKnYVe

He should have asked him when he woke up tomorrow morning, but Jeong Tae-ui moved to Jae-ui, muttering whether he would remember until then.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsno0FUyJwq

But as he stepped out into the corridor, he paused. In the dark, the moonlight dimmed the center.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH3w3DJuTZ

The place stopped motionless. Even the leaves floating lonely on the pond remained still without shaking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu4z0GlWLk

Next to it, there was a backside.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YznIuqMUg

Jeong Jae-ui was sitting still next to the pond and looking up at the sky as if he was lost. Jeong Tae-ui paused, standing in the shade of the awning of the corridor, and looked at him quietly. It seems that he was still awake.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65RVVp2oq6

He began to walk again. There was a small sound of beating and stepping on the stone floor. Jeong Jae-ui did not look back even though he might have heard the sound. Jeong Tae-ui approached him, stopped a few steps back, and stayed still.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl2hJU4LGq

"When I was young, I went to see meteor showers......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAc7pNoqKa

As soon as he sat down, Jeong Jae-ui quietly opened his mouth. Jeong Tae-ui paused and turned his head to look at him. He felt strange.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZuAt5PKAj

The story that Jeong Jae-ui is talking about may have been the time when Jeong Tae-ui was thinking about it a while ago. No, he only remembers going to see meteor showers when he was young, so he thought it would be then.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzHdik9Jn6

Did he see the same thing and think the same thing? Somehow, Jeong Tae-ui smiled with joy. Jeong Jae-ui's words continued.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgFJlXTH67

"The meteor shower was very beautiful, but there were so many stars, so the sky was more memorable than the meteor shower."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJT0g5SBoA

Jeong Tae-ui paused again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5gj1THLcG

Jeong Jae-ui is not a person who talks to himself. Jeong Tae-ui himself sometimes murmured to himself to the point of slightly doubting his mental health, but he did not sleepwalk. He didn't think that was what he said to himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T75ZhQNbe

"............uh......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wzTEOSEen

Jeong Tae-ui hesitated for a while and answered vaguely.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ6MMvVNjA

Then, Jeong Jae-ui seemed to be slightly shrinking his shoulders, and turned around a little surprised.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqWwDRQVr

"It was unconscious."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRtvNyWJYy

"Well."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73LYnG7YXh

"What's up, at such a time."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdeRQvNw5j

"I just woke up suddenly. Were you with someone else?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkN8qaIgX5

"Huh? I'm not."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSApC2r0PK

Jeong Jae-ui looked at Jeong Tae-ui with a mysterious face as if he was wondering what he was talking about. Jeong Tae-ui looked at his head with the same mysterious face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWMTfaHPmU

"No, I thought you were talking to someone a while ago."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkum6Kgngng

"Huh? Ah, it was Raman. Sometimes he comes to me at night. He said that this is the highest area among the buildings in the annex, and this Pavilion is the closest to the sky in the annex. Maybe that's why the night sky looks the closest."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcEXLL3uPD

"That way, the stars tens of thousands of light years away look closer, even though they're meters apart by meters."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98pvqT8THz

Jeong Tae-ui was sulking. Jeong Jae-ui laughs quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZHePrpwQL

Jeong Tae-ui lay down as he was. During the day, the hot stone floor was heated by the sun, and now it is chilly. When Jeong Tae-ui lay down, Jeong Jae-ui also lay down next to him. Lie at a right angle, put their heads together side by side, and look up at the sky without saying a word for a while.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhA0kPhYFZ

Suddenly, Jeong Tae-ui smiled. He thinks he heard the breathing sound, but Jeong Jae-ui seems to be looking back a little.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GNjPowYxP

"No, the meteor shower I mentioned earlier."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfkzw3X0LC

"Oh......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9o3GyjxU

"I couldn't watch it because I was sleeping."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg2wnrXpsh

"Yes, I woke you up, but you didn't wake up."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CNa7wfy7D

"Yes, but we had a meteor shower last year. At that time, I watched it with the platoon without sleeping, and it was beautiful......but I thought of it then. I think the star sky that I saw when I was young was more beautiful."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBuycmOrqo

Jeong Tae-ui grinned and muttered.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHGxJQ6UGd

Emotional empathy warms his heart like this. The memory of having the same experience and experiencing the same emotions as someone has become a small nutrient in life. That may be why a friend who has been dating for a long time is precious.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo01OwuKGVa

Tae-ui's intentions were understood. He's sure Jeong Jae-ui has similar thoughts with him. He felt better and said with a small smile.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWD2ehOypV

"...Looking at it like this, the sky I see from here looks the same as the sky I saw then."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe4OxMIluW

"No way.... Our country is in the Northern Hemisphere, Tae-ui."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFkhJMbzVM

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVFdeGrZbr

He forgot for a moment. His brother sometimes said something unbecoming to his quiet, calm face. Like this, there are times when he breaks the situation.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzErxyD3jP

When he tried to be a little touched for the first time in a while, Jeong Jae-ui, who was still looking at the sky with resentment, smiled quietly and whispered to himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3fJTmAFc7

"Gangwon-do."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgp44XWTGG

"Huh?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzHtJOFH6W

"It was Hongcheon....Let's go there."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFhiQXpqPr

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him gently. Jeong Tae-ui laughed after looking at him whispering to go later for a long time. murmured, "Yes." and he turned his head back to the sky.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjjaUs7R2e

There were so many stars. Looking at the flowing Milky Way in front of his eyes, Jeong Tae-ui suddenly remembered Jeong Jae-ui one day. At the bluish dawn, he sat still in the cool air and quietly listened to a sound that would not be heard by humans.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ458S9OQ2q1

Even now, just like back then. He seemed to be hearing something. He can't hear himself, but if he's in that faraway sky, he will hear the white shining stones that will constantly whisper in his ears.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dZeGEoXI2

"You are...."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAYLkkc3SV

Jeong Tae-ui opened his mouth at one point. The words that took a short break followed the silence of Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0jV2LPbGj

"Sometimes, I don't feel like a person."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYu0HBeJE5

"......Did you?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBtrQaV90P

"Giving good luck to someone......If there's someone really interesting like that, it'll be closer to you than to me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Zxhjg6wh

There was silence for a while.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf51L57LLQb

But really, he didn't know that. Come to think of it, after separation with Jeong Jae-ui, Jeong Tae-ui suffered a lot. He was trapped there, doubting that he had a disease in his head now, even though he had met a crazy man who he couldn't handle, been chased, and caught.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJim4FcLum

"I think my brother brought me luck."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduQZDmfQHk

Jeong Tae-ui said quietly. The voice vaguely contained a grateful light. Actually, it doesn't matter if he knows, it doesn't matter. Jeong Tae-ui received numerous things to thank Jeong Jae-ui. Just being around now, it's so peaceful.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37v8oQiC2e

How long has it been? There was a long silence. Like those endless stars, silence seemed to continue endlessly, but at one point, a low voice obscured the silence.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5snKlZd41

"It's just the way you do it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L06IjzGEp

Jeong Tae-ui, who was feeling sleepy on the cold stone floor and under the pouring sky, listened quietly to his quiet brother's voice.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDlqgNqaaS

"Without you, I'll die."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSamYwED5IQ

"......Why do you keep saying weird things? That's not a very nice thing to hear."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnbXCd8u0T

He can hear a quiet laugh for a moment.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPRz57KZP

"Whenever something happens, you always come to me first. When people kidnap me, when I'm kidnapped, when I'm about to have a car accident. On such days, you always come to me first. We're in different classes and we have different friends who hang out together, so we're at home at night. We're always apart when we play at school or after school. But sometimes, I just miss you all of a sudden. When you put your head into our classroom and smiled, something always happened that day."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLLB5WfyaO

".......I don't remember."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAq3LKRQQk

Jeong Tae-ui frowned and murmured.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dkzoLzs2K

As he said, they sat side by side and pretended to be serious after entering middle and high school, and he had different tendencies when he was young, and at that time, Jae-ui was already in a situation where he couldn't be called a normal child, so he almost played separately. They used to sit side by side and read books or play jokes sometimes until evening.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfuSf6dMnI

Sometimes, he ran around the hallway, played with his friends, and when he suddenly remembered his brother, he ran to his brother's classroom and checked his face. That's how he felt. Even if his brother was not in the classroom, he went around to the bathroom, the teacher's room, and the other class to find him. Then, when he saw his face, he was just relieved, so he would smile and go back quickly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFHaRDTApM

But he didn't remember what happened to his brother in those days.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY5NzSjJZE

"If you were sick, I was sick with you. When I was sick first, I was sick by myself."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8DEfWb7j0

Jeong Jae-ui continued. Jeong Tae-ui thought for a while and nodded, saying, "I don't remember because I was too young, but mother always said so."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKndU6iJkas

"Was it unfair?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8siIapHmzG

"It wasn't like that. But since you were very young, yeah, you don't remember, I thought, You and I are connected by something. I don't know what it is, but I felt like you had some kind of string that led to me......Before I grew up to a certain extent, I wondered if you might be my history. If you're sick, I'm sick, and if you come to see me out of the blue, something bad always happens that day."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ349PgdP6xW

".......After luck, is it a disaster?....It's such a sudden change of direction."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdu3JnnalD

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his neck with a bitter smack. It's just unbelievable that he gives his brother good luck, but if he gives him bad luck, it's something he doesn't want to believe.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL4sGo0z24

"Then when I was twelve. You were in the hospital for a while because you fell from a persimmon tree in the back of the school and broke your leg."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEI3qT81OO

Jeong Tae-ui murmured, "Ah!" He remembered that. Jeong Tae-ui had never had a cold or any other illness since he grew up, but he had quite a few injuries while playing with his friends in that way. There was no day for bruises to stop.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8X85c5aEI

He remembers clearly then. Before that, when he was seriously injured and on the operating table, a rejection occurred, and even then, he was worried while he was going to the hospital crying and moaning. "What if I die like this?" Fortunately, the bone broke very cleanly, so he just had to keep it fixed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2nVgCPtP

The reason why the memory of that time remained exceptionally clear was not because it was sick. While Jeong Tae-ui was lying in the hospital, Jeong Jae-ui was once again embroiled in a kidnapping case. Even then, with that incredible luck, he returned to normal without any injuries. Perhaps that was the last time for crimes such as kidnapping or kidnapping surrounding Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O7K0xxC9Z

"I don't know if you remember.....Mother, who stayed with you at the hospital to take care of you, suddenly called me in the morning. You begged her to see me so that I could stop by before going to school. But I didn't have enough time to stop by the hospital because I was on class duty at the time. Besides, it's not like you're dying right away, you just broke your leg, so stopping by in the afternoon won't be a big deal."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkymhBzlSSK

".......I don't remember."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05KGFmlUFe

"Yeah. I asked you once a long time later, but you didn't remember."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnmelNwhvW

At Jeong Jae-ui's words, Jeong Tae-ui smacked his lips awkwardly again. The man who lies next to him even remembers when he took his first step, but that's strange for him. It was normal for me not to remember small things well.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKnFkb3JYE

But as the story goes.......

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzLkktRhos

"Was that the day you were kidnapped?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Pf3f1qi4

"Yes, I was going to the hospital to see you that day."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvupg4NT860

"But you were back to normal then. Even if you don't meet me. Luckily."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXjZdz22dc

There was no answer for a while.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx6xRWM2nH

Jeong Jae-ui was silent for a long time as if he were lost in another thought, but he continued quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxs6QCy2d6

"That morning, I was on class duty, so I didn't have time, but the moment I got a call from my mother, I actually got scared. I was thinking you might be my perversity then. Something bad happens when I meet you. So, I thought it was again because you suddenly said you wanted to see me. That's why I didn't go. And on my way back from school...I was dragged away."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTRQcdM1wR

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsaCEV7WCO

Jeong Jae-ui closed his mouth again. Jeong Tae-ui also remembered what happened at that time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYflZTKzY7

One day when Jeong Tae-ui was hospitalized, it was heard that Jeong Jae-ui was kidnapped again. However, it has happened so many times so far, and he has always been miraculously lucky to return, so the family was worried and on the other hand, they were a little high-minded. And at that time, as usual, Jeong Jae-ui returned with a casual face around the evening.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8A84a0DJK

So maybe it was that day.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDQEQq1s9f

When he woke up from sleeping in the hospital, Jeong Jae-ui was next to him. There was no mother or father, and only Jeong Jae-ui was in the hospital room.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e9foST3PB

Sitting next to the bed, Jeong Jae-ui was staring down at Jeong Tae-ui. Just silent and still. Jeong Tae-ui also said nothing for some reason. As if he were asleep or dreaming, he only faced Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zM0kSy6tv

After looking at it for a long time, Jeong Jae-ui left the hospital room, and Jeong Tae-ui seems to have fallen asleep again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lV60JQVpu

"Then I found out on my way home. You're the one who offsets the bad luck that comes to me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCmcZT8uy4

"......I don't know."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0nN88G3yv

Jeong Tae-ui murmured slowly. After a short pause, Jeong Jae-ui smiled quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyADjyQyyI

"It's not something that can be explained in words. Actually, it's not about that, or when you got hurt right before you left the army and you were in danger from surgery, I was stuck at home and lost my mind, or anything like that. It's something that's there that can't be said."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7mPGeJxnm

"It's so vague.......Hey, I've never felt like I was such a mysterious and amazing person. Is there anything I can understand?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOLFxD303W

"I think I saw it wrong." Jeong Tae-ui said with a sigh.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnmLMVr6sx

The more he listened, the more strange he felt. It was like listening to a story like a psychic program or a mystery experience, and it didn't feel real.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO2lhXofsQ

Jeong Jae-ui was silent. In the silence, Jeong Tae-ui realized that there was something left that Jeong Jae-ui had not said. However, even if he waited a little longer, there was no sign of Jeong Jae-ui's conversation, and Jeong Tae-ui felt that he had finished his part of the story today. He sighs lightly once again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3RaWZgllZ

But if.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn2e6F9QJ7

If one thing, his story is true.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih1nESAfm9

Not all of that happened by accident, but Jeong Tae-ui himself was really influencing Jae-ui. What an amazing, and frighteningly heavy fate it is.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp5X1ThKJn

Suddenly, a corner of my chest seemed to be weighed down. The pressure, which is completely different from pain, gently presses the heart and carries the weight.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hQNoybo8B

"That's it. There's no...no more. Actually, it was a story I didn't even need to know."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIhbu9GiX4

Jeong Jae-ui whispered as if he was trying to make a speech. The light that Jeong Tae-ui didn't want to know was dimly mixed. Perhaps if Jeong Tae-ui had not heard the word luck from his uncle or anywhere, Jeong Jae-ui would never have told him first.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYof33C1ro

"I didn't have to recognize the relationship that led to that. That heavy, awkward strap."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IdzusxiDY

A self-contained voice talking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0b0dei9KV

Jeong Tae-ui was silent at that sadly blurred voice. A thought suddenly popped into her mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6bjxgWRmE

"....I'm not like that."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSb6yaO9PU

"...?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGqZEP0sdt

"I still don't understand or understand Gilsangcheon or anything like that, but even so, I'm neither heavy nor clumsy. Because of that, there are things that make me feel heavy or awkward, distant or alien. It's nice to have a bond that is extraordinarily stronger than people."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxtuuru3kp

Jeong Tae-ui grumbled disapprovingly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSNvyiSSU7

What, he's always thought of me that way, damn it, did he have a crush? As he grumbled like that, he pouted his lips and frowned.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1JPaBS0n4

He mumbled a joke like that, but he thought at the same time in his heart.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8es9pgLtZ7

He saw this relationship that way. It was a different matter than whether he liked or disliked Jeong Tae-ui. He didn't think he hated him. He probably loved himself as much as he loved him. But aside from that, he found the relationship heavy and difficult.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2PsrLSrno

"Damn....what is this? I'm mad. What is the red thread that hyung cut off? Why are you running out of the house with scissors? Thanks to that, you're locked up like this now."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBzoHTbrRY

Jeong Tae-ui jumped up from his seat and sat down. And when he turned his head, he saw Jeong Jae-ui looking at him with a strange face. He blinked his eyes for a moment, staring at Jeong Tae-ui, then raised his hand and looked at his palm and murmured.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnX4eP4Aae

"It doesn't look like it was cut very....well. There's no way it could be cut like that."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjbML2I9s2

"It must have been because of my brother's heart, not a relationship."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCupTqCCwC

Jeong Tae-ui said sullenly. He bluntly grabs Jeong Jae-ui's hand and pulls him in, and Jeong Jae-ui looks at him again with a strange face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwedzSqWFBp

"Give me your hand. Let's tie it up again. Hang on, was it your little finger?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9aSyCuj7t

"Huh? Uh...but I can't tie it again."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1cVNyrVGn

While holding his hand, Jae-ui stood up and sat down. And he still has a strange face somewhere and continues to look at Jeong Tae-ui. Jeong Tae-ui raised his eyebrows.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dWuJgENJN

"I can't tie it. How do I tie an invisible string? But if I could cut it with scissors, I could tie it. Let's tie it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWkBk4beCh

"It's not...No, it doesn't matter..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH46rB7Mcma

Jeong Jae-ui was going to say something, but he wanted to think for a moment, and then he quietly muttered to himself. Jeong Tae-ui glanced at him curiously and touched the edge of his little finger. He pretended to pick up his thread from nowhere and thought for a moment what he was doing, but it didn't matter. This is a symbol.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K3T2ASZyI

The symbol is faith.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCfyKuQbYP

Suddenly, he remembered a saying he had once heard. Yep, that's what Ilay said.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6lCwFcixN

At that time, he said so, and he said that he would own Jeong Tae-ui. Maybe he was thinking like this at the time. He considers it his own, and he didn't even know that he had pulled Tae-ui and tied him to himself, as he is now trying to do.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKejEb18Hit

"...."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvPbm2Vqnl

Jeong Tae-ui stopped holding Jeong Jae-ui's hand. Suddenly, his voice, expression, and touch came to mind as if he was right next to him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiypMDld7q

You know you are mine.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF5CWd1H4r

That soft, warm voice.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFUQZnjf11

You remember it well, Tae-ui. From today....From now on, every day, you are mine.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfbXXz52zv

His hot breath, his hand, his body temperature, stick to his body.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrSO44zd0j

"What is it, Tae-ui?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLxTqc08xU

Jeong Jae-ui called from the side as if puzzled.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENKoJBuTQs

Jeong Tae-ui thought the night sky was too bright. He wishes those stars could only half close their eyes right now. To hide this hot face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfmjBFGspu

Jeong Tae-ui murmured, "No, it's nothing special." and stole his hot face with the back of his hand. And he lowers his head without saying a word for a while.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCV86RHvS

It was then.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz8h7g5DWk

Then, suddenly feeling a sense of alienation for an unknown reason, Jeong Tae-ui raised his head. At the end of the west corridor, the wooden door was open. And in front of it, under the shade of the awning in the corridor, a large human shadow was cast.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrVnQTnXFZ

In the darkness, the man stood like a nocturnal beast. With black eyes that have sunk like ice, the owner of this annex is watching this place quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwDyJiAfHR

In an instant, his heart became cold.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNAG046TqP

He didn't know when he had been there. Without a sign, the man was staying there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuAFGDOkZK

...oh okay. Come to think of it, hyung said that he sometimes visits at night. They sometimes come here to look at the night sky. Perhaps today was such a day. The man's gloomy eyes and his eyes met. But before Jeong Tae-ui could pretend to know him, he turned and went out the door again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegCMerLcMK

"...?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuGlZz0h6t

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him curiously and tilted his head. Then, his eyes met with Jeong Jae-ui, who had his back on the west corridor. Jeong Jae-ui was looking at Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAafCjmwAZ

"Why is that? Tae-ui."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRx1MJyHh8

"Huh? No, right now..........No. I must have seen it wrong."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO5KL4aHkA

Jeong Tae-ui replied, scratching his head. He tilts his head a couple more times, and then mutters, "I don't know." And then he lay flat on the floor again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun0Pm5O4jE

He could feel Jeong Jae-ui's silent gaze sitting next to him. As he turned his head, their eyes met. He looked at it like that for a long time, and then he lay down along the road.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwBAfos9Lw

Lying side by side again, they looked at the sky in front of them silently.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRooh8qBml

Obviously, he was thinking the same thing while watching the same thing earlier, but now he doesn't know what he's thinking. But maybe now it's not the same thought. Jeong Tae-ui thought so with a little regret.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UigalPMlH

Apparently he was thinking the same thing while seeing the same thing before, but now he doesn't know what he was thinking. However, perhaps it is not the same idea now. Jeong Tae-ui thought so with a little regret.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh53grBsIGt

***

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdDlCOae8x

You are mine.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePEKXqrKhF

He thought of some thoughts.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV3rAER1A7

From the moment he woke up in the morning, Jeong Tae-ui sighed and lamented inwardly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqagwx5ePe

"I'm not Ilay's."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmRm8mKrk

He even tried to mumble in a small voice. Then he wondered if that word would be offset by any chance.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFgnssIC6d

It didn't seem to have much effect, probably because he was whispering in a small voice like an ant crawling while looking around to see if anyone could hear it. Those words kept running through his mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnDNKzm8xY

"Because I'm not. Because I'm mine."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaosGNAes3J

Jeong Tae-ui buried his face in his arms as if he was about to cry.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnpqhmO94w

He knows the truth. A person cannot belong to anyone. He wants to become someone's possession by his own will, and although he can be next to him, he cannot forcefully enter into possession against his will.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5oCsM0VzS

He was completely his own. his own body too. his own mind. his own spirit too.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4XgSg6Dhd

But since it was his own, he was also fully responsible for all of it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedHb62QBve

"You have to take responsibility and be mindful..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h57txEgeX

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head sharply.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Zm0PWo0d

He thinks at the same time. "How are things going on the outside right now?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThEpOcQL5b

After Jeong Tae-ui came here, he was told that Ilay had turned some Arabs to pieces. "He didn't show any anger or concern." Raman said. But after that, there was no word from him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgyHFbGsdy

How are you doing now?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMSCb6bLqD

Hopefully, he's not just catching and smashing all those who look like Arabs at random. If he did, he might become an Arab achievement, and Arabs with the Quran in one hand might attack him with a sword in the other.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ4IeLZUar

"Wow... that must be a real harpoon."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEFcduUKEA

"I'm glad I'm not that guy."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshnQR075Pv

Tae-ui thought so, and if anything like that ever happened, he prayed earnestly that it would happen when he wasn't by his side. But really, how is he doing? He could have guessed that he was here. Given the circumstances, it is inevitable.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRneqe4VkCz

But if that was the case, there was no other way to do it. For the same reason that they could not do it while they vaguely guessed that Jeong Jae-ui would be in Raman's villa, they would still be stranded there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzrVHhXz5R

Ilay is...his attitude may have changed a bit.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD6STWquVM

When he came to Seringue, even before that, he had an attitude that he didn't really care whether he was looking for Jeong Jae-ui or not. He premiered there, even though he knew that Jae-ui was extremely important to both T&R and UNHRDO, with whom he had one legged. Perhaps, if Jeong Tae-ui had not come here, he might not have paid any attention to whether or not Jeong Jae-ui was missing.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VjYWiaioo

Now then, he's starting to look a little harder...But as a way to find people, if he's hurting Arabs one by one, that's a bit of a problem.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvTCRwauiB

In the meantime, he thought for a moment that outside the fence, a bunch of Arabs might be uprising to get rid of their achievements.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu3kPbXV85

"......"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PIfFHKruq

It would be nice if there was a way to get in touch. If anything, he can contact him, even for a short time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafrELaxxzf

Jeong Tae-ui, who had been lying on his face next to the pond, raised his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf9WE3ncZM

Still at the end of the corridor stood the watchman in front of the only movable door. He was sitting on a wooden chair, yawning loudly, with a large sword around his waist that he doubted would ever be pulled out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKuhX2hDXk

.....Knock that guy down and walk out that door.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOge94vVm6x

Jeong Tae-ui thought about it for a while, but then shook his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu51eiSW1C4

Even if he went through that door, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of the annex. This is one of the many annexes built inside the huge wall of the annex. Then, even if he goes outside that corridor, he will end up wandering somewhere inside the annex.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPPmBRP28d

In addition, luckily, this annex is located near the main gate of the annex, so it would be nice if it was possible to hide well and see the opportunity when the gate was opened and jump out, but the possibility of that was small. As soon as Jeong Tae-ui crosses the wall of the annex, an emergency alert is almost established throughout the annex. Moreover, if this annex was even in the deepest part of the annex. Needless to say...

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKyjXJuwmo

"Come to think of it, I heard that this annex had the highest rent in the annex..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBxXdvXHeO

Jeong Tae-ui remembered something he had heard a while ago. And he remembered a map of the area he had seen before, as if drawn by a child's feet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybfe2uXLND

The villas around this area were surrounded by the coastline of the southeast. He doesn't know which of these annexes are, but considering the topography, if the annex is located in the highest place in the annex, it must have been a place that was quite far away from the main gate of the annex and entered deep inside.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdcTBDVJLg

That is, the farthest from the gate.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPzPfc9Hg2

"He must have made the deepest living quarters for fear of running away. I don't know if it's me, but where is brother escaping from? Because that person doesn't do such troublesome things."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqToJprD5Pj

While grumbling, Jeong Tae-ui looked sadly at the side door at the end of the west corridor. In the end, it is easy to get caught only after defeating that guard before crossing the gate of the annex. And more importantly, Jeong Tae-ui wasn't confident he could beat that Arab man.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMtWukN7Wo

He already realized it at the moment he first met him. To be exact, it is the moment when he was hit in the pit of the stomach as soon as he first encountered it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrz8m5gFOX

That was accurate.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvc2xOVZLj

Even if he knew in advance that Jeong Tae-ui was running after him, it was easy and quite difficult to hit the pit of the stomach at the very time when he appeared, with no error, and with no less than enough strength to faint.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFZjQusmix

At the moment he was hit, he thought, "It's a gong." And the idea didn't change even while looking at him while playing away for a few days. It looked like a common old man scattered in an alley in a market in the Middle East, and it was probably only a few people who could fight and win against that man properly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGXTBJHr9Z

In addition.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADa51OmoIE

"First of all, that guy...Let's see.....2, 3, 4......5? I don't know. I think it's about four or five."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGwrkwIUt

Jeong Tae-ui muttered and picked his hand.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn8rOIxGBF

Perhaps if Jeong Tae-ui did something suspicious or caused a disturbance and if it was something that was hard to deal with with just his stumpy uncle there were a few more people who could show up right away.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwghiQETnQ

In conclusion, it was right to see that it was impossible to break through by force on its own.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FAAbRYukK

However, it should be considered impossible to wait for rescue from outside. That's why he couldn't confirm it even though he assumed that there would be Jeong Jae-ui in Raman's separate house.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI0O1OURYt

"I don't mind if I can't get out of here right now, so I hope we can get in touch."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy60UexkPI

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekIZVEN4DU

In this annex, contact with the outside was strictly prohibited. He couldn't write a letter or look for a phone at all.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJzxxHes2O

Until Jeong Tae-ui came here, on Friday, Jeong Jae-ui could go out to the night market for a while with Raman's permission, even though he had to wrap a chador around it and wear a veil over it and a watchman behind it. Perhaps he knew that Jeong Jae-ui was a person who would not try to escape hastily.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgYVCPuwk6

But now even that was forbidden. Jeong Jae-ui can't go out either, and Jeong Tae-ui can't either.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3e1kdZUfC

Jeong Tae-ui glanced again at the Arab man watching. If he asks politely, can he borrow his cell phone? He thought so, and laughed at himself for thinking about it seriously for a moment.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdLDrCZMVX

They had a medium to contact the outside world, as well as being trapped inside the annex all day to monitor Jeong Jae-ui. It's for themselves and for one situation in a million.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M62acOxOm

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEBbD1cTp9

Should I give it a try?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZONa1SrLy

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly came up with a dangerous idea.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZnOLXn1Nk

He learned something from Alta when he was at UNHRDO. Alta, who had been out in Hong Kong for a weekend at some point, said that a dork pickpocket was caught trying to rip him off, and he smiled and boasted that he had ripped it from him. At the same time, he even showed him how to do this to catch Jeong Tae-ui, who was drinking beer next to him, and taught him how to pick his pocket properly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonryZK8Xck

Next to him, Carlo said, "But he's a very talented guy, so what is je to do if you teach him that?" but he didn't even listen to Alta, who had a lot of alcohol in him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UMTIki77K

He didn't really want to learn it, but he learned it from Alta's drunkenness.....

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7SfCewJV

Jeong Tae-ui looked down at his hand. After learning that time, he used it a few times because it was quite fun, but then it withered and did little. He doesn't know if his hands will still move properly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2caOO0bdT7

At a glance, he saw an Arab man. The Arab man, who was looking forward bluntly, looked back at Jeong Tae-ui. His indifferent yet sharp eyes looked directly at him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo09dtlhqV

......Ah, I can't do it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'll die if I have to.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Mrli2OZJ

Jeong Tae-ui smiled and waved. The man turned his head again, looking curtly, but nodding his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF83D8mIFA

But it was then. As Jeong Tae-ui tried to roll his thoughts, the man stood up from his chair. Then he shouted something inside the corridor. Soon a young man jumped out of the corridor.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQY2YQVgFZ

That Arab man was also a watchman there, and he might be an unexpectedly well-known person elsewhere, so the young man seemed to be attached to him and cared for him. When the young man came out, the man muttered a few words and left. Jeong Tae-ui, who was muttering, "It's a bathroom." suddenly opened his eyes. And he looked at the fresh side of the young man who stayed for a while instead of the man.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCCfP69T9J

......At that rate, maybe.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUSS3BRDO8

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly stood up from his seat. Confirming that the man had entered the corridor, he walked occasionally to the young man. The young man standing in front of the door raised his eyebrows as if he was wondering when Jeong Tae-ui approached.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUGgduc1FX

"I wish you'd let me out."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKc0VO0l16

Jeong Tae-ui smiled as he pointed to the door. Of course, the young man could not understand what Jeong Tae-ui said in his native language, but the young man shook his head firmly as he guessed the meaning from the gesture pointing at the door.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfsT2fNvKI

"Don't do that, let me out for a second."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyDFOGvqdv

Jeong Tae-ui frowned, but with a smile and a face that seemed to be sufficiently brazen, pulled the doorknob obstinately.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6bKWg7Lj

The young man seemed confused for a moment as if he was embarrassed when the calm hostage suddenly forced him to leave, but soon grabbed Tae-ui's wrist as if he was burning with a sense of mission. However, Jeong Tae-ui smiled slightly at the clumsy gesture and shook his wrist lightly to shake it off.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6mrRRZqmx

When he missed it so easily, the young man seemed to be flustered and angry. After shouting something roughly. He guesses it's cheeky because people let it go. He crossed his wrists and grabbed Jeong Tae-ui by the collar. And very neatly threw away the static.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n5ZPKxP7V

Oh, he is an actor who learns something.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XGQYrVbHY

Jeong Tae-ui thought as he flew in the air. Thinking about it, he kind of missed the timing to use the fall. He hit his butt against the stone floor.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB98W4uujY

"It hurts!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdjVm7yTD9

Jeong Tae-ui let out a short scream. But he thought it might go far to the bathroom, so he turned it down and...took a painful breath. The young man murmured something behind his back, and slumped into a chair, recalling the indication that he could never get out of the way with his blunt face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlroIAwKSP

Oh, it really hurts because it's a stone floor, but he's sorry that his buttocks became a cushion, and Jeong Tae-ui stood up rubbing his buttocks. With a throbbing hip and a limp, he walked towards the bedroom. When he glanced at the young man with resentment, the young man was staring at Jeong Tae-ui with a face full of mission.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6qaPRFuL

Jeong Tae-ui murmured to himself, "That's why young people are like that." Then he went out through the bedroom door into the courtyard. In the meantime, he sincerely hopes that the Arab man doesn't come out of the bathroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxcmupgpIc

Jeong Tae-ui walked slowly and quickly. The walk was almost running as he turned from the end of the courtyard to the outer corridor to the study.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrAMq8HUPF

Jeong Tae-ui looked back for a moment. There was no sign of anyone chasing. But he didn't slow down. When he took out his hand that he had put in his pocket, he had a cell phone in his hand.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tM30Kz8VJ

"It's still useful. I thought my hands would be stiff because I haven't done it for a long time."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoXLGCWkhV

"I think he's a little dull." muttering, and Jeong Tae-ui was glad that he wasn't the original watchman. Perhaps if it's the Arab man with the big sword who was originally standing by the door, he would not have succeeded so neatly. Jeong Tae-ui opened the flip of his cell phone, pretending to whistle silently.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNynQJU64w

His heart was pounding. He never knows when they'll come after him. Even just now, he might notice that the phone was missing from his arms and come right after him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JNTnj8guh

Where would be good? The best place to get rid of the person chasing him. A good place to be alone is a..... bathroom. But he can't go to the bathroom. At the same time, it was a place where he could be alone, and at the same time, it was a dead end where there was no way to escape.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJaYpe9ifQ

As expected, is the best place to move? So that even if he chases me back, I can run recklessly and make a phone call while running away. Even if the phone was taken away during the call, it was best to create an environment where we could talk for as long as possible.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweEHSEKY01

His finger pressed the number he was memorizing. It is a number he has never called. However, he naturally memorized it because he had a lot of work to tell others his contact information while he was teaching.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpTOFOh8I1

Ilay.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WzZyI9aA8

For the first time, Jeong Tae-ui thanked the UNHRDO for its appointment as an instructor. Where could he contact without the instructor's phone number that automatically roams anywhere in the world?......unfortunately, Seringue is not categorized as an out-of-the-way place. No, that can't be true. Anyway, there was a normal cell phone in his hand.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wwNCrZg6Y

Suddenly, his heart throbbed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOOjXSxC8h

Come to think of it, how long has it been? Wait. What should I talk about? First of all, the most urgent thing is that I have to insist immediately to avoid a misunderstanding, saying, "I didn't run away."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0urbysQl6B

He doesn't think he ran away because he smashed an Arab, but he will never know. The sad voice that told him to really be prepared to die if he ran away twice crossed his mind. And the second thing he has to say is the location here. Jeong Tae-ui, who thought that far, bit his tongue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXhETAL6Uz

Jeong Tae-ui didn't know about the location here. It is certain that this is inside the villa owned by Raman, but what kind of detached house is in it? He can't even go out. But first of all, the highest place is probably the farthest from the entrance....but what's the use of saying it? He's not going to come in with Panzer Faust again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkag3cblcgg

......If he does that against the Arab royal family, his brother's military business will be severely disrupted.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQW6lvArWW

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head shaking as he imagined Ilay carrying Panzer Faust over his shoulder in a modified Rewako. If he does that, there will be a series of Arabs holding the Quran in one hand.....

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePivfsasAr

What am I gonna say after that? Let's see, there was something more to say. Obviously there was something important left. What was that? Something, I think there was something to check.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViC1CEZVfK

But while Jeong Tae-ui was nervously thinking, the tone in the phone did not stop. Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue, saying, "Oh, my!" only after hearing the sound of the signal that did not break until after the turn. The possibility that he would not answer the phone was also negligible. He might have gone to the bathroom for a while, or he fell asleep or the battery is dead.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl834fQCZdl

Pick it up. Pick it up.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7t83tEvAV

Jeong Tae-ui looked back for nothing even though he could not hear anything. Even if he's not the owner of the phone, if someone else sees him on the phone and shouts, it's over.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ576NGLVXaM

However, when he is anxious like this, his wishes don't come true.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLjbgHJylx

No matter how many times the signal rang, there was no sign of answering the phone. The owner of the phone didn't give a voice until it eventually went to auto-answer. Jeong Tae-ui closed the flip with his tongue clapped. He knew that it was unlikely that he would answer the phone again if he called the phone again immediately, but he still called the same number again. The signal started ringing again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhd7xXIHd6

Jeong Tae-ui continued to move from the corridor to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the study, and from there to the courtyard again, contemplating where it was not a dead end. Meanwhile, the signal kept ringing without interruption. Nine, ten times, and this time again, it seemed to move on to automatic responses.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgxXoMIfG3

"......Damn it, pick it up, you lunatic!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv9BR69dRG

Jeong Tae-ui was choked up with tears. Even though it was a low voice, it might go into other people's ears.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5sFXKwOo8

But it was loud enough to be heard beyond the phone.The voice would have been in the ear of the person who answered the phone just then.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLaLjivpU1

".....Tae-ui?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5eReWuuTT

A low, slow voice.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalIqQTAVND

Jeong Tae-ui grabbed the phone without realizing it. Anxiety sprang to his mind at once.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZwnnrS7iv

A familiar voice. It is a voice that will come to mind clearly even after decades. Jeong Tae-ui clenched his lips and shouted in surprise.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHvi2pXpWK

"Where are you now?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeKI17K2pm

"Uh, this isn't it." he thought for a second, but it didn't matter. At any rate, he's at a loss for words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWXfLH9fgY

"TAE-UI...Where are you?''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU13W3NXsUH

His voice changed on the phone. The low, slow voice instantly changes its light to that of a fierce, wild beast.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht5zBqwh9o

"Where are you, Tae-ui?Where are you now?.....TAE-UI!''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r48h1AROT

Over and over again, the voice called Jeong Tae-ui's name. Jeong Tae-ui suddenly lost his words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqtuoOwi5Y

"Uh......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNIquN8GcI

What shall I do?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdOhuBPm82

He clenched his fist nervously. Suddenly, the color seemed to fade from my head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV7grPWwSJ

It's been a while since he heard that voice. He doesn't know what's going on over there, he doesn't know where he's going, he doesn't know where he's looking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxh19bXCDQ

Just vaguely looking for it, the reality that he thought like that is now starting to take on color clearly in his ears. Jeong Tae-ui became nervous for no reason. It was a different anxiety than the anxiety that someone might come after at any time. He felt empty in his head at the sudden strange sensation. He thought there was something to say. There was something to check. Before he came here, he had something to ask. He was afraid to ask, and he thought about what to do if he heard the expected answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR7MJPyixZ

What was that? That means.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsTzYi4otL

Jeong Tae-ui's palms were sweaty, so he switched the phone to the other hand. Wipe his hands nervously on the hem of his trousers.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmkqBX1Z7I

"TAE-UI, answer me!....Damn, you're in good shape. If you hurt yourself, you'll die.......Please answer me! TAE-UI, JEONG TAE-UI!...steady!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JbupSzZXn

Oh, again. This guy's pronunciation gets better sometimes.....Who taught you how to correct your pronunciation?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bs9N2FeYm

Jeong Tae-ui, who thought of a strange idea blankly, was listening to the voice that tickled his ears, and suddenly at some point, he did not even recognize what he was saying and said it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z8KpO6jSw

"Hey, maybe I like you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNXMB2yxBX

Oh, this isn't it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafjz5VdBD0

As soon as he said it, he thought, "Oh, my!" But it's good anyway. He's at a loss for words. But what did he just say? He thinks he said something weird that he didn't think he'd say because there were slight signs of illness.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNThQ51ZHRA

Jeong Tae-ui nervously touches his lips with his fingertips.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2dlKA9Kab

There was a sudden pause on the phone. There was no sound from beyond.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDGJqSAGOM

"Oh, hello, hello! Hey, Ilay!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKunXMQPlWo

He wondered if the phone was cut off. It's hard to get cut off in this urgent situation.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jpXCZs7Df

Jeong Tae-ui called out his name two or three times in embarrassment.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrAmoPc8rO

At that time, he heard the noise, or he heard a buzz at the end of the corridor. The air turned to a murmur of footsteps and was drawing nearer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAd2dDz1ll

Jeong Tae-ui quickly turned his steps in the opposite direction and increased his speed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmehjVAThM

"Hey, what if it gets cut off now? I don't know when I can even call...Come on!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE961FM3ABh

"I'm listening. Hurry up and tell me where you are now."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lb6c1RyH1

"Oh, here, Raman's annex. It is a separate detached house, but I don't know where it is because I can't take a step in the detached house. But I heard it's in the highest place in the annex."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBb4qbf0VW

"The highest place in the annex......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBAy4NpC6i

Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue. The sound of steps coming from behind seemed not to be a sign of accidental passage. Jeong Tae-ui was following him in the direction he was going. Jeong Tae-ui was also unable to suppress the sound of footsteps due to the increasing speed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SrnMFA9C4

As he almost ran, Jeong Tae-ui glanced back. Then a figure was seen turning the corner of the corridor. The young man earlier, the owner of this phone.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Cp2yPgMs

As soon as the young man saw Jeong Tae-ui, he shouted something and came running red. And Jeong Tae-ui, who couldn't be caught naturally, ran without looking back.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZea8sUNBx

"Damn it. Hey, I can't call you long. I think it's a little hard to get out of here. Raman is asking Jae-ui to make a weapon. He said he wouldn't let us go if he didn't. But he said he'd hide it in a dungeon and pretend he didn't know if there was pressure from outside.......anyway, so you won't see me for a while, but I didn't run away. I can't come out of nowhere."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1YP3VS6PO

".....Damn it, it's hard to get out of there."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QVRUd1PF3

There is a voice on the phone that seems a little anxious, but seems to be nothing different from usual. The somewhat lowered voice was perhaps angry.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi29Ft6cTo9

Jeong Tae-ui shut up for a moment.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpkUMbAq8I

It was a fact that he already knew. If it was easy to take it out from the outside, there was no reason for Jeong Jae-ui to be trapped in it so far. No matter how little Ilay Riegrow thinks, he can't come in here. If he messed with one royal family in the Middle East, it was a series of hives.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL5qC1KlDr

"I know, I know. It's gonna take a while, but...."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbDs1j1E9H

"Tae-ui, do you want to get out of there?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQPMCLCEBr

Suddenly, before Jeong Tae-ui said anything, Ilay said. Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWBG0r08Ok

"If only I could get out....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS2EyonaeM

Jeong Tae-ui shut up. The number of people who followed behind his back has already increased to two. To make matters worse, a person is popping out of the front. He didn't think he'd be able to defend the phone for long.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDILOMU0Mmt

''... yes, all right.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPziHmt27Np

The voice, which had been silent for a while as if in thought, soon fell heavily. And his slow, determined voice followed by the short, heavy answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCoCNgHCbj

''But Tae-ui. Keep it in mind. I'll make sure I get my share back from you for that."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuBpHEmGL8

"What..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3miPfoaUDX

Jeong Tae-ui lost his words along the way.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQjnnTFfcL

Somehow he felt a thrill. A feeling of a mistake rose in his heart.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X5eZ2Srvs

Would it be like this if I cross a river that I can't come back to?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3YuonqEDV

Jeong Tae-ui murmured and ran breathlessly. However, the distance from the pursuers was gradually narrowing. He was confident in running, but there was nothing he could do better than chasing three people. Then one of the guys grabbed him by the shoulder.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHSu6Kr19O

"Damn it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1L7DRagNg

Jeong Tae-ui muttered briefly and slapped the man in the face with a double whammy. It turned out to be the owner of the phone.I'm a little sorry.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYXFzUXxuh

"TAE-UI? What are you doing?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4LgW3RdjB

"I'm being chased, trying to make a phone call. Oh, damn it, I'll be caught soon."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ujP85EuQ

Jeong Tae-ui gasped and answered briefly. Run, shake, call, he's dying of breath away. It was obvious that he was going to be caught soon. Jeong Tae-ui ran into the bathroom that was right in front of him. Rather than being caught soon, going into the bathroom and staging a sit-in can earn even a few more seconds.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27RdxjUvzb

Bang!

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mUINtvsCa

The door broke open and closed mercilessly. But just before locking the door, a man hit himself and couldn't latch it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbb4p9Lka3

"TAE-UI!...Damn it....... Don't hurt yourself as much as you want!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EjYCuRb2c

"Are you sick when I'm hurt? My god!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSUq1zDreM

His finger got caught in the crack of the door when he tried to close it. Tears welled up in his eyes. He cried more when he thought about what he was doing to make a phone call.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NhbstzVD2

How many seconds will it last? Maybe I'll never use the same number again after this call is cut off. Maybe it was the last outside passage before getting out of here. I think I had more to say. I think there was something to say.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxulh9ZRwSE

Jeong Tae-ui thought nervously.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NBu0hHTJQ

"Why do you hurt my feelings? Damn it, why would you go after him?...!"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPyWsT6IOg

Jeong Tae-ui, who was opening his mouth to say something, shrugged his shoulders at the harsh shouts coming from over the phone before he could even speak. He opened his eyes wide.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTVpQ0iCwC

He has seen this man angry many times. He saw him beating people like a dog, not just angry, and there was nothing new about the man's sad appearance anymore. However, it may be the first time to hear an angry voice while saying nonsense.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UoPhWyEv1

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IUTDR97d6

He suddenly remembered. What he had to say to this man. He should've checked.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNiqxAqRN1

Jeong Tae-ui hesitated for a moment. He wanted to meet and talk to him in person if possible. So he wanted to see how that face changed.....Maybe, if he asks openly, he might reveal it like a monster right away, so it's wiser to ask on the phone when he's far away.......No, but it's a little.......

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibjI8Ownmc

However, the hesitation was that the bathroom door, which Jeong Tae-ui was holding out with all his might, opened wide by the power of the three men and flew away with urgency that rose in an instant.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zZZTUKHgd

"Ilay, you......do you happen to like me?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0anJ0qbvJ

Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue again. This isn't it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LBUI0v87h

No, that's exactly what he meant to ask. However, there might have been room for a more casual spin, but it was so urgent that he shouted out suddenly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe7gmTV7bn

But no answer was given. Maybe he didn't hear it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITjBshrhoA

Beyond the phone, before waiting for a brief, caught-off silence to end, the young man who was beaten earlier took the phone and hung up.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhncu64GOF5

"Hey! That was the most important thing. Why did you cut it off?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEeH2reix4

Jeong Tae-ui roared heavily at the men. The young man, who could not understand Jeong Tae-ui's yelling, and who was also the victim of the phone theft, looked angry to the tip of his head. Perhaps he was beaten up by that original watchman, the Arab man he followed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw0grVQwd2

Along with the young man's outrageous swear words fortunately, Jeong Tae-ui did not understand the swear words. He had to receive the young man's angry fist intact.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnthgYuSP9G

***

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Yf84O965

Jeong Tae-ui sighed looking in the mirror.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxF6k5MlXR

There is a black bruise on the face and right temple, and both eyes are plump. His lips got ripped, it has blood on top of it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezBDcDacGT

"I don't blame others for being inhumane.......Is there any other sight in the world as inhumane as this face?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsDnSY8LWZ

Jeong Tae-ui murmured, rubbing his face in the mirror. If he touches it hard, it hurts, depending on the wound, it hurts just by touching it, gently, carefully rubbing it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWUrGaBjty

He asked for some ointment, but the men didn't listen. Eventually, he pretended to be poor to the white girl who was passing by and secretly got one. In the Arab world, they kept the iron rule that they should never talk to women recklessly, and he was crouching next to the pond in the middle, pretending to be very sick when the girl passed by, and thankfully, she secretly left a small ointment tube on the bed table.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPdVBlY9aF

Seeing that, Jeong Jae-ui said admiringly, "You should sell the ship to the people here." Jeong Tae-ui also thought seriously, "Should I?" and shook his head. He has no stomach for arms and belly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykk0ip42cJ

In fact, his face was so obviously damaged that he didn't get hurt much.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS66Zpn6wC

The young man seemed to want to die young, but at the point of moderate tapping, the watchman standing behind him stopped him. Although the actual form was the victim of kidnapping and confinement, the nominal form was a precious guest. It seems that it is impossible to hit such a precious customer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhUl110IUy

The Arab man, who was not an ordinary wager, had a very good timing to stop him. Jeong Tae-ui, who was beaten enough by the young man, stopped the young man at a time when he was slowly thinking, "I think I paid for my crime at this point, but should I get hit more?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HogNNAxLI

"But I'm glad he didn't use his own fists..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elzjLXtON

Jeong Tae-ui groaned while applying medicine. It's been a few days since he got hit like that, and it still hurts.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVGSwFqEMH

Jeong Tae-ui, who had been left unattended for a while after being beaten and found the medicine in the bedroom late last night, was about to apply it once before going to bed yesterday, wash his face now, and eat.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZpMlSTrAX

The beaten wound was not very noticeable on the day of the hit, but after a few days of holding it, the wound was very ripe. It's a very inhumane molar. The next day, when he was beaten a few days ago, he went to the restaurant with a disheveled face and sat down, and Jeong Jae-ui, who was eating first, saw Jeong Tae-ui's face, opened his eyes wide and put down his spoon.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYQRPvyE7F

Jeong Tae-ui's face, which had already been beaten up, was the source. So he thought there would be no surprise, but Jeong Tae-ui immediately nodded. He woke up from a sleep and thought his face was more swollen.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOaYb5ZwYi

"Is my face swollen a lot?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBmZDlo6sx

Jeong Tae-ui, who couldn't even see the mirror because he just washed his face after waking up, had no way of knowing what his face was like. When he muttered, "It doesn't hurt much." and asked Jeong Jae-ui as if nothing had happened, Jeong Jae-ui nodded and said quietly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf96QL1UI9

"Tae-ui. When you were on vacation, you fought with your colleague named Kim So-wi."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7nxtICnB9

"Oh? Oh, there was."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi1mySVWxn

Jeong Tae-ui frowned, citing a name that was not very pleasant from the morning. But on the other hand, now that much of the name sounds cute. Still, he was very human in his own way.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqveJILezf

"You're more swollen than then."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91UptswGOc

"....... I'm scared to look in the mirror."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYbMaj7NnQ

Jeong Tae-ui slowly rubbed his face and muttered "aya, aya." and ate.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ40nYg1U9X

And when he came back to his room and saw his face, it was very colorful.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITeMtr174l

After a few days, the blue bruise turned into a mixture of purple and yellowish light, making it even more colorful. The pain is much better than then, but it still hurts when he touches it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPkbMohN9x

"If you want to hit me, you have to pick a place that doesn't show on the outside and it hurts on the inside and hit me well. What is this? It shows on the outside and the body is smooth. That's why I like young people....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdHScVoRe1

Maybe if he had been hit by a watchdog, he would have been hit like that. Or if the young man had hit him like that because he was good, the watchman would have watched a little longer and stopped him slowly. After applying the ointment, Jeong looked in the mirror again. There was a very good face in it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQJEpumIr

Jeong Tae-ui's medicine is so small that he applied it twice last night and this morning, but he was unfortunately touching the ointment tube that he had already used up and threw it into the trash can. He missed the tiger ointment that Luther loves.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ6N5dYtT3

He sighed and went out. He thought he'd go to the study room and read a book. However, Jeong Tae-ui, who was taking a step, paused and stopped. This is because he could see the back of just entering the study from a distance.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TmNzkcHBK

It's Raman.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLM0HA6wdO

When he tucked his head into the room and looked at the clock, it was time for him to come.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8kjKYPn2k

Jeong Tae-ui frowned slightly. He thought about what to do for a while and turned to the courtyard. Next to the rubber tree inside the courtyard, he could see the inside obliquely through the window of the study. He stayed there for a while and looked at the inside movements, and after Raman went back, he thought he would go to study.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg7zDfX2nX

Raman stopped by the annex every day.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwXW0nS3QO

According to Jae-ui, he came more often before Jeong Tae-ui came, but these days, he has become less frequent. But he shook his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxM4Okhy8B

In fact, he didn't have much business. It's always the same thing to say for business. "Have you come up with the idea of making weapons?" And Jeong Jae-ui's answer to that was always the same. He just shakes his head without saying a word.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pPjLIQidQ

"I think I can memorize everything without making a mistake."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2umANDCAQk

Jeong Tae-ui sat under a tree, raising his head and muttering while looking at the leaves.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQLQug1Sl

As he glanced at the window, he could see Jeong Jae-ui shaking his head. Then, Raman's voice flows out from time to time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zFeJKrQGX

"Don't you feel uncomfortable staying here without getting out of here?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq5rQPmVKb

There is a slight change today, though. The basic form of that word was ''If you don't make weapons, I won't let them you of here.''

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrzBdB7kj4

"No, thank you. Thanks to your careful consideration, there's nothing uncomfortable about it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDHRy2uw3t

Jeong Jae-ui's quiet voice follows.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcudAdijkrK

Jeong Tae-ui smirked. After Raman's words about whether he was uncomfortable or not, of course, he had to be followed by a word that he would let him go so that he would not be uncomfortable if he complied with his demands. However, if such an answer is returned, there is nothing to say.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQi3vnKEiE

Indeed, Raman's voice was briefly interrupted.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKUJSs12WC

Jeong Tae-ui laughed quietly, thinking that he might have a troubled face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVCqJrLazr

He thought about what it would look like if the cold-looking man, who has a soft smile but doesn't smile with his eyes, made an awkward face, but he couldn't imagine it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CK4jJXSiq

But...

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DHf5Kd4Ds

"But I'm glad he's polite for now."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG5K6mQyZJ

Jeong Tae-ui murmured quietly in his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3X5CyL8JU

He has been in vain for months. In other words, while taking Jeong Jae-ui and catching him generously provides all kinds of convenience and fulfilling everything he wants except going out, his demands are not being met. For quite a few people, patience could have reached its limit. In addition, there was no promise of when to accept it, so he could be threatened or forced to produce weapons by rough means.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q83CFZms6

However, he treated Jeong Jae-ui with the utmost courtesy and courtesy.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJgLdAGCh8

Jeong Tae-ui did not like him, but he was grateful for that. (But on the other hand, he wondered why he should thank him)

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqJloTe86v

But is it urgent to develop the weapon?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeLURpcHpw

Even if it was not an urgent matter right now, it would not have been possible to keep waiting without a promise. However, there was no sign of impatience when he visited this place every day and asked Jeong Jae-ui about his intention.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUZFZFBgHN

"......Please let me know if you change your mind at any time. Until then, please be comfortable. Do you need anything?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwR7hxYIcI

The usual conversation continued in the study. Now, the formal conversation has come to an end.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUAmldovac

"Oh, then I'd like a book, please. The book that I wrote it down here. And since my hair is slowly getting messy, could you call the barber again? It would be bothersome to call it often for nothing, so it would be better to cut it very short if you call a barber this time."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv893ZJymtG

My brother is strong in his own way.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURI1VhA5bv

Because of his casual and quiet appearance, those who had not experienced Jeong Jae-ui a few times often mistook him for an introverted and delicate person. And although Jeong Jae-ui was of course introverted and delicate, the direction was a little different from what people usually thought.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHravwALeO

However, unlike Jeong Tae-ui, who was accompanied by a slip of the tongue, Jeong Jae-ui was a "precious guest" although he was kidnapped and imprisoned. Until now, Jeong Jae-ui sometimes spoke freely if he wanted something like this, and the words were immediately implemented even a few days later.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1UkPQFMII

Suddenly, Jeong Tae-ui patted his cheek and bit his tongue bitterly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprH08B6rIf

There is nothing to be unfair about, but within a few days after Jeong Tae-ui was trapped here, Jeong Jae-ui, who was lost in thought while touching a surprise box with a spring installed, was hit by a spring that popped out of nowhere and bruised his cheeks.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7EtLrDUpG

The next day, Raman visited Jeong Jae-ui as usual, and saw him, and in a moment he erased a smile from his face, frowned furiously, there was a girl in white clothes with a watchman and a girl in a separate house for Jeong Jae-ui called for. It was an unintelligible word, but he remembered him being quite mean when he saw the girl, scolded, shaking, quickly holding her medicine and bowing her head at her feet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiKBM5zfvf

The attitude of Jeong Jae-ui, who did not say much even though he looked embarrassed, was unexpected, so he asked him later, and he said that there was a similar thing once in the past. At that time, he cut his jaw slightly while shaving, and despite Jae-ui's own mistake, another girl was attached to the market from that day on. When Jeong Jae-ui said a few words, Raman shook his head and said, "If I had changed the razor blade well, I wouldn't have been hurt. It's a rare guest, but it shouldn't be sloppy." he said firmly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXneauiR7Il

Since then, Jeong Jae-ui has told Jeong Tae-ui, who looks at him with a startled face, that he is careful not to get hurt.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSgLWLhRtE

"I don't know the whole system of thinking in this country......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iAng7CDFG

Jeong Tae-ui sighed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAfK3ENb7H

Anyway, it was perfect to accept Jeong Jae-ui as a valuable guest.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM75spv8Hg

Jeong Tae-ui rubbed his face completely different from the original version and bit his tongue bitterly. No matter how much it comes with, it's a different attitude.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7bbMGfklc

Jeong Tae-ui was happy that Jeong Jae-ui brought up the story of the barber because he could not call the barber if he asked for it. Even so, he couldn't get a haircut because he didn't have time for a while, but he thought if he called a barber, he would ask him to cut it with him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFpOP9Ab2d

In the future, if he needs anything, he will ask his brother for a "valuable guest." Let's ask for some medicine first, and do I need anything else?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqY4laWCc9

......If he needs a phone call...Even if it's him, it won't work.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9wg9AqDfp

Jeong Tae-ui sighed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVaIh9f5AF

He was beaten up a little too much for a minute or two at the most.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8uuhRS5E

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVFEypmPBm

Jeong Tae-ui felt awkward and scratched his neck.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWxH2TuNlf

That night, while rubbing his broken face, he thought he said a lot of strange things. And worse, he didn't hear a proper answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxMTYZEJJU

Do you like me?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyEHq6BBid

Come to think of it, it's something that a self-conscious patient would say. If it really is, but if it is not, he had to pound his own mouth with a stone.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkq7t7m8OR

What kind of reaction did he have when he heard that?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVwCahDudF

It was a bit disappointing. He wanted to see the face in person. Then Jeong Tae-ui might have learned more from the reaction.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fAzaw2RgL

"No, it's not. It would have been better not to hear the answer. No, I'm sorry. Maybe I wasn't asking. No matter what the answer is, it's not a thing."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrSgTHgAXe

Jeong Tae-ui tore his hair out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJeharACly

Yes, that was the reason why he didn't ask right away even though he thought at first glance several times before. If he says no, it means he's over-conscious. If he says so.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C0JHeelzf

......Then the situation was entering a more frightening phase.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK118QM6zJL

Jeong Tae-ui sighed while pulling out his hair. He doesn't know. He's a long way from getting out of here anyway, and he doesn't think anything's coming right now. He had plenty of time to think. In addition, if he were stuck here for about a decade or so, the answer was not the problem.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSdfhRxGZP

How much longer do I have to stay here?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46h8OYqj0e

Jeong Tae-ui was lost in thought for a while and looked toward the study. In it, there were two people with keys to get out of here. It was a door that wouldn't open unless one of them gave it away anyway.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAayacsipJc

"It's almost time to go......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspILi6NEhe

The usual conversation took a turn, and it was time for Raman to go back. When Jeong Jae-ui handed him a note that said what he needed and received it, he only had to say a few words and go back.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YfoMNBZgF

".......Don't you want to get out of here?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44uxuQpHZP

Raman said after a moment of silence. That's what he said earlier. Jeong Tae-ui raised his eyebrows listening to the voice. Once asked, there has never been a time when a word is asked again within that day. Nevertheless, asking again, did his situation become urgent?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxOEMvzQ4d

He didn't think there was a sign like that.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxArb52cUQ

"Thanks to you, I'm comfortable, so I'm fine."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF91aLRFGo

Jae-ui also gives a similar answer as before. As for Raman, he continued a little slower.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJJhFrhdP3

"I'm sure it'll be less lonely after your brother comes. Do you get along very well?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVNw62WhGL

"Yeah, well….thanks to you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEskBFtnSmh

Hey, my answer is a bit off the mark. Thanks to him, we are on good terms, and we are not less lonely thanks to you, who locked up my brother.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwqyyg0Vhi

Jeong Tae-ui lost all his strength. However, soon after the silence, Jeong Tae-ui came out of the study, leaving a greeting, and slowly walked toward the study. Jeong Tae-ui, who was climbing the stairs of the courtyard, regretted that he should have stood up a little later.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsuEzklNZu

Coming out of the study, Raman paused in the corridor and was lost in thought. As Jeong Tae-ui approached, he felt the sign and gave a glance.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAVymCyqCD

Jeong Tae-ui hesitated, frowning, and slowing down.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaq1KB3kY0

He didn't want to get close. It's not just the way he feels.....Raman's gaze at Jeong Tae-ui was icy. It is so cold that it suddenly occurs to him that he might wield a knife at that moment when he gets close.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSrG7s9wMJ

However, Jeong Tae-ui walked as slowly as possible because it would be more awkward if he stopped and confronted him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd95Ks8byqc

"They said you spoke to Riegrow on the phone."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJ5SKXVPG

"If it's not in Seringue......"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWPFHzeqqV

Raman opened his mouth. At the signal, Jeong Tae-ui stopped walking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkXQJCbnWL

He thought the news would have already gone. It was impossible for him to hear that he tried to talk to the outside world. Jeong Tae-ui, who looked suspicious for a while when the name Riegrow came out, soon became convinced. It's easy to find out the other person since there are numbers left.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKwWJVi3XZ

"I thought you said it's no use asking for help from the outside, but you've done something useless."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e7q30pGOa

"...What...Just hearing my friend's voice after a long time gives me energy."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4muxbIVo

Jeong Tae-ui said with a calm smile while counting how many parts are in his own words. His "friend" Ilay gives him "energy".

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr656wHjrmy

Raman raised his eyebrows. Then he pretended to think for a moment and opened his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHi1BKp41

"Friends. I see. I think it was Ilay Riegrow and Ling Shinru. Coming to Seringue with you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35GYs3k7zZ

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObz25MvXXc

"They are no longer in Seringue."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Drsvf7xb

Raman said calmly. And at the end of the word, Jeong Tae-ui's expression briefly disappeared from his face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWRoFlDmzk

For a moment, he thought he misunderstood English. He obviously said, "They are no longer in Seringue."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM5zLfogse

Jeong Tae-ui frowned slightly. He couldn't understand the word at first glance, so he tilted his head for a moment.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl4BoJ0sCZ

He poked his finger in. He called Ilay a few days ago. It hasn't been that long. It was not easy to pick up quickly because there were a series of monotonous days with no changes or unusual things, but it was three, or four days. It hasn't even been a week yet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY2JtsdULz

"If it's not in Seringue......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9FxVI36uu

Jeong Tae-ui closed his mouth as he spoke. He looked up suspiciously at him, looking down coldly as if he were looking at his expression before his eyes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDSQYCzp7b

It didn't seem like a lie....If then.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCaBFYIVg8

"Did you use your hands?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXvfVrStnf

"Me? You're welcome. They went out on their own feet. Ling Shinru, a few days after you came here, he's been out for quite a while, and Riegrow was out three days ago. There was also a man named Yuri Gable. He took Ling Shinru out. He said he needed someone to help him because he couldn't move properly."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgD2BpsrsS

"What? What?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnXpEWRfEC

Jeong Tae-ui stared at him blankly, blinking his eyes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpGxpOgDcN

A smile-like expression flashed over Raman's face, which was talking indifferently. The cool smile penetrates Jeong Tae-ui's heart.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ0q2wGcIy

"There was a quarrel between Ling Shinru and Riegrow. The cause, well, I don't know about that, but I heard that Ling Shinru was hurt quite badly and went to a dangerous level.....you wouldn't be able to see them for a while anyway, so I wouldn't say it would hurt to hear that your friend was hurt."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLQITenjIe

In a subtle tone, he sounded like he knew something more, but he didn't seem to want to talk anymore.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ROUA8b6F

"No, uh......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnBXyH6FYz

Jeong looked blankly at his lips. He opened his mouth and tried to say something, but he couldn't say anything. He couldn't think of a proper word because my head was momentarily complicated.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNGvvfx5VD

They're no longer in Seringue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiUMNK5FtG

I heard that Ling Shinru was hurt quite badly and went to a dangerous level.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobYzmVbKyh

It was a few days ago that Jeong Tae-ui called Ilay. At that time, Ling Shinru was already a long time after he was injured. But Ilay didn't say anything about him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEWTP88gUN

No, he could understand that. He was not the kind of person to say that Ling Shinru was hurt on purpose or that he was hurt by fighting with him. The same is true of the reason for the fight. Originally, they were not on good terms, so they could fight as much as they wanted over trivial things. Jeong Tae-ui was able to make up hundreds of reasons for their fight in his seat.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZgRuEPq2r

But.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8kHC6fVnB

He doesn't know if it's because of course. Why did Ilay go out? His head was unable to accept the sudden remarks. Jeong Tae-ui looked at him blankly. Raman smiled faintly at the sight of such a calmness. Jeong Tae-ui finally realized that he said it because he wanted to see his face like this.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEEBk8ASrI

Raman hated Jeong Tae-ui very much. Maybe it's close to hatred. But why?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ63rt9T5ZU

But now, that sort of thing didn't matter.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMnHxXeAol

"I have to...I have to get out."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8G4iNDUih

Jeong Tae-ui murmured in a bewildering manner. Raman looked silently at his expressionless face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5hXUOgGEF

His eyes narrowed with satisfaction, and he said calmly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKvnvqWok1

"I'm sorry about that. I can't let you do that."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeJhCVEFxh

***

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEeh8FcYxU

In fact, if he thinks about it, it was already late, and it could have been new.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡretGl3lD7D

He has already been approaching Dalpo since he entered this place. However, if Ilay had injured Shinru shortly after he entered this place, it would have already been concluded somehow now. Either he has already recovered cleanly, or he's still feeling uncomfortable, but he has recovered moderately. Or even the worst, the conclusion is already made anyway. Even if Jeong Tae-ui went out and looked at it, nothing would have changed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M2pRb0KZu

Nevertheless.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK70pSvwMaG

Jeong Tae-ui rubbed his mouth and chin with one hand. He couldn't help it himself that anxiety was on his hands. What a dangerous situation, how dangerous was it? What about now? Will it be okay? Wouldn't it be?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGHwSzPwsH

He said Ilay got out of here. After finishing the phone call with Jeong Tae-ui, he hardly interrupted. Where did he go? He left this place.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXqCGwZ5Y8

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxdGLnGNtm

He couldn't come to a conclusion even when he thought about it. On the contrary, tens of thousands of speculations bloom and disturb the mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgTN0LTCvq

A disordered mind appeared at the fingertips. The fingers rubbing the lips were nervously strained.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLA5CXapDp

He wanted to go out. Right now, he wants to get out of here. And yet he's caught without a promise. No, maybe he can put up with it right now. He could have put up with it if he were stuck here for a few more days and left. Reason has already informed us that he will not change even if he goes out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqCve12eqi

However, the fact that he doesn't know when he can go out made him feel anxious.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtyzpKbdRu

It wouldn't have happened much. It wouldn't have been a minor injury if Gable had to help him out. Anyway, if there was Gable, he would have prevented it somehow before something serious happened.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GvDBk28dK

......please.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2teq3uMg6

Jeong Tae-ui felt pain at one point and frowned. He seems to have been lost for a while. When he came to his senses, he was biting the second joint of his index finger. The lid was slightly peeled off, and it was swollen and tingling. Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqmtNCi0xq

"Calm down, Jeong Tae-ui. You know that. There's no way to be agitated. Calm down."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavMAzr4JgJ

He tapped on his chest. On his heart, tap it a little hard. However, the idea of burning the heart black did not stop.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwxbgajUDs

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and got up. Maybe it's all the more because he's sitting around in a dark bedroom. He thought it would be better to stick his head in the pond until he fainted because he was suffocated.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NfQeNzaKc

Jeong Tae-ui took a deep breath and went out of the room. However, he was a little surprised while stepping into the corridor. The sun was setting before he knew it. Jeong Tae-ui looked at the setting sun with a little embarrassment. He didn't know time had passed like this. Without knowing the passing of time, he sat in the bedroom and was constantly mesmerized.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMb8PljbgC

"I'm telling you, you have to get your act together, Jeong Tae-ui. Calm down."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHV6LH8jYs

Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtfbwz7QzW

It wasn't good. He knew how much it was bad for him to be carried away and immersed in unsolvable worries. Pain eats into the mind and makes him sick without realizing it or not.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp5hbm37c5

Jeong Tae-ui again tapped the area near the heart a few times, harder than before. Then, he suddenly found a familiar figure in the middle. It is Jeong Jae-ui who sits upright and looks up at the sky. Dozens of birds were flying in the sky at the bottom of the sea. He was looking at the birds.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MktIuNGYA

Maybe someone was raising it. Someone staying in a building close to the detached house would have taken a long time to feed the wild birds. The birds, who are accustomed to the gathering given at a fixed time, gather there at the bottom of the sea like this, and turn round as someone swings a long pole. A flock of birds that draw a big circle above the sky and swirl around. From somewhere, he heard an old sound of whipping birds.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ckSu1itS

A flock of birds passed over Jae-ui's head. The sound of a flap above his head was mingled and passed by countless times.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAW4KeTdFH

He liked the scene. Jeong Tae-ui also liked it, but Jeong Jae-ui probably liked it much more than him. Sitting there at this time of the day, he waited for them to pass overhead. May the sound of the wings over your head pass by.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bbkIM8KQZ

He certainly wouldn't complain if he stayed here all his life locked up like this. He was able to live here as he wished.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYap1A226q

Jeong Tae-ui stared at him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoEPDXhb3E

Slowly he approached the middle station. He may have heard the footsteps, but Jeong Jae-ui did not look back at him. In this short time, not too long, perhaps, with those birds, he was completely wet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8lbHKd6Wu

Jeong Tae-ui sat a few steps away from him. And he also listened to the sounds overhead. A magnificent and refreshing sound, perhaps tens of thousands of sheets of paper, fluttered overhead. One more time. After a long time. From time to time, he can hear a group of people whirring from across the sunset.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ife3hd1Zp

It was not long before the sun went down. As soon as the sun went by as fast as the fingernails, it became dark.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFP4cHcA43

Someone went in beyond the fence, and the birds dispersed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPsrNLVAg0

There was only the sky, which had turned purple and gradually darkened, and the sky was turning deeper and deeper and deeper.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XkxjrN6i

"Hair, it doesn't look that long. It's a little longer than usual, but it doesn't look messy...but if you call a barber, I'll ask him to cut my hair, too."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEE7vErT2A

Jeong Tae-ui looked at Jeong Jae-ui with his head tilted and said suddenly. Jeong Jae-ui still looks at the empty sky, but only then does he look at Jeong Tae-ui. Come to think of it, he didn't meet Jae-ui after breakfast. It's because he has been in the bedroom all day.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hVkDvhM54

In this detached house, which is not very wide and has a limited radius of activity, we usually encounter it several times even if we don't have to be together during the day, but even so, it was not strange if they never met. Jeong Jae-ui sometimes did not come out of the room for several days when he focused on something, and Jeong Tae-ui was not much different.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPhIdbhGnC

"The barber..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDZN7w0dCS

Jeong Jae-ui murmured as if he were somewhere else. Jeong Tae-ui adds, "Oh," only after hearing the words that sound like he doesn't know what it means.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhQzvTC8hi

"I was going to study in the morning, but he went in first, so I waited in the courtyard. You asked him to call a barber. You said you'd cut it short."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTyeYogccV

"Yes, that's right.......I don't know if I shouldn't have called you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVXeQgBdVs

Jeong Jae-ui murmured quietly. Jeong Tae-ui shrugged his shoulders as he watched him closely.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYfrpNBTDN

"You don't want to cut it anymore? Then I'll cut my hair. I thought it was annoying because my bangs came down."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcUcioe4SJ

"That's not true...."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRtlK1gkKx

Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth and stopped talking. And then he looked at Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDYwltCLbj

In the dim air that was getting darker, Jeong Jae-ui's expression remained calm. As if he had been lost in thought for a long time, and still in thought, he saw Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncgOBaMi3G

"......?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX3NfLcVmq

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with a quizzical look. He knew that look on his face. There was something he wanted to say, but he couldn't organize his thoughts. No, or he may be thinking about how to speak, although his thoughts have been organized.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrX0MeK7CH

"......Why. Tell me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6eTyPFafZ

"Shall we go out, Tae-ui?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR6QfriPSh

When Jeong Tae-ui nodded and opened his mouth first, Jeong Jae-ui spoke quietly without hesitation.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqrVyNrxN4

Jeong Tae-ui shut up. He'd say he lost his words for a moment. He gazed at Jeong Jae-ui with a smile on his face. Suddenly, he wondered why, and he realized it soon.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv913DwWfXi

The conversation between Raman and Jeong Tae-ui was probably heard by him, too. If he thinks about it, it's inevitable. The annex itself was an open space. There were doors or shutters, but there was no meaning other than to distinguish them.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEZHrwh4d1

".......Do you want to go out?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMeyAmTArP

Jeong Tae-ui thought for a while and asked him back without answering. Jeong Jae-ui murmured, "Well, I don't know."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdk4iW61tm

"I've never wanted to go out, but I've never wanted to stay here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2S0OTqtnC

"Well….then shall we go out?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0iYVufwgY

"If you wish."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n2AGQ7Zea

His answer was concise. Jeong Tae-ui stared at him, and at some point, he slightly frowned and scratched his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCoYhkdfTP

"It's good to go out, but how are you going to go out?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQiARIWDT

"Well......somehow."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYZW83e5cT

Jeong Jae-ui did not show much concern. While staring blankly at him, Jeong Tae-ui smiled.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ531oRjDmBc

Indeed, Jeong Tae-ui did not remember seeing Jeong Jae-ui agonize. Although there may be some kind of choice in front of him and he may be silently lost in thought, the "concern" with the meaning of suffering was not up to Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2mz6TLxAe

Come to think of it, Jeong Jae-ui was a person who didn't have to worry about anything as far as Jeong Tae-ui knew. What was wanted was done in some way. It was like a daily routine for him to make a fuss and rejoice that it was a miracle. So, maybe even now, if he wanted to, there might be an earthquake nearby and the wall collapsed, so he could walk out without any difficulty. though he was still unconvinced that he was bringing such luck to him

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTG4LZ9zwf

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VtgU3jryM

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with a sigh of laughter.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnHEU0rjcv

However, his luck did not come as he expected. He always envisions a way to accomplish something when he wants it. Then it was his luck in everyday life that it went smoothly. Therefore, Jeong Tae-ui immediately realized why he brought up these words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmn0NGxKVn

"Are you going to make a weapon?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JsCbGG7C

Jeong Tae-ui asked quietly. Jeong Jae-ui did not answer. He just looked at him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2HoC8SIqP

Jeong Tae-ui smiled calmly. A quiet sigh is mixed in the laughing breath.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjekdwgzj1f

"If it's because of me that you want to go out. Doing something you don't want. You don't have to."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXHVMg1q8R

Actually, he wanted to go out. It would have been nice if he could get out of here right now. But to do that, he hated that he had to force Jeong Jae-ui to do what he didn't want. Jeong Jae-ui did not immediately return an answer. Instead, an unknown gaze came.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjwMRNNjyz

Jeong Tae-ui frowned slightly because he could not understand the meaning of the subtle gaze. Then Jeong Jae-ui sighed silently.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEI2OPmFRn

"You're a little wrong. I'm not that determined, and I'm not really a moral person. I don't mind making weapons if I don't mind. If I don't hate it and I like it, I can do it as much as I want. But because it doesn't, I just said I wouldn't make any more weapons."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyRz4XI7EW

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with a strange face. For a while, he just blinked and stared at him blankly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZcQLER5Ta

It wasn't that he didn't know what he was saying. He was able to make some sense. Obviously, as he said, Jeong Jae-ui had such a corner. Nature itself was not very crooked, but it was not a strong and straight will, and sometimes moral ethics were vaguely blurred.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5SWMP7r7

Jeong Jae-ui, who was looking at Jeong Tae-ui's strange face, quietly added a word.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJvUjQATOt

"If you want to get out, but you think you'll stay here because of me, I want to get out of here for you, even if I don't want to."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDLwpvvf6

".......But the truth is, I don't want to make a weapon."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt58Hf2Wvw

"If you don't care, I'm fine. I just didn't want to because you wouldn't like it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gSHy7gX3t

"...um...Obviously, I don't like making weapons. But you know......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasqPfBmf3j

Jeong Tae-ui frowned. Before he knew it, Jeong Tae-ui murmured helplessly, rubbing his fingertips between his wrinkled brows.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGeHTTKfqV

"You're a little wrong, too. I definitely didn't want my brother to make weapons, and when I met you, I tried to pinch your cheek. But... I don't hate you. It's a separate matter."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kQ4hvaxNO

Jeong Jae-ui did not say anything for a moment. Look at Jeong Tae-ui with slightly wide open eyes. Jeong Tae-ui smiled bitterly at him. He was like, "What? You really didn't know?" Then Jeong Jae-ui laughed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaeYgb2tZp

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly shut up. His heart shrank numbly. When was it? Who said it?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidn43zdDBD

Is it that Jeong Jae-ui suffers more anxiety and anguish than you do? That's human.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzvHv9y6CR

Yeah, it was Ilay.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8rnIdCdNF

Maybe he saw Jeong Tae-ui from the outside, that he couldn't see from his seat.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeHB0cNFpQ

Each man had his place. And there are things that can only be seen on the spot, and there are things that can never be seen on the spot. And Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMN53oKiYC

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xmeYxL4Ik

He didn't even know it was a little disappointing. Some aspects of Jae-ui's that he couldn't see, he was sorry. It must have been beautiful and affectionate.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9InBn5hrQb

It was an aspect that only he had to endure, which others could not touch. So he was sad.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLtYb2DXCY

But.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8cpCoo90f

He was satisfied with the position. It was the most appropriate seat from Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ38Q0xjwaK

He liked that kind of place. He has never wanted the closest to anyone or anyone. The most appropriate distance. Each person hoped for a different position.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CsyXx1nFc

"If it's you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl3fsQ8lQT

At one point, Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth. Looking at Jeong Tae-ui without taking his eyes off for a moment, he quietly asked.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTRJDWQQzn

"If you're in my place. Then you'll make a weapon and get out of here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf62Su69cg3

He did not answer. He was lost in thought for a moment. It didn't take too long to come to a conclusion. But even after the thought, he couldn't answer. As he said, he did not want Jeong Jae-ui to follow. And Jeong Jae-ui, and Jeong Tae-ui, knew that silence was the answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3r38Miura

***

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOinwGHjN1J

Should we go out, Tae-ui?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiPtM2LfsT

"Uh...Yeah......"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zNqSCHfsH

It was only after Jeong Tae-ui answered that way that he realized that he was alone there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQxCCwhU7w

It was a bedroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhx0IzW9Jv

"Huh...?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ0Zt4cisO

It was not until Jeong Tae-ui answered that he realized that he was alone there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ypRVDrYZM

It was a bedroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3L2oZ9XPQ

"Huh...?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEScubbC4j0

Jeong Tae-ui murmured blankly again. Huh? muttered for the third time, he turned his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iiRj4VXkP

There was no one. Obviously, he heard a voice talking like that just a moment ago, but he was lying alone in the bedroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpCztYFRIj

Only then did he realize he had a dream. The dream he had just before he woke up was very vivid.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04F0Tg9If7

"Ah..." and Jeong Tae-ui sat up, breathing out a sigh or a stretch. Sweeping his disheveled hair, he closed his eyes half-closed, and reached out to the side and groped. The glass water bottle that was placed on the table next to the bed was caught.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1AuQhlDf

While holding up the water bottle, putting his mouth directly to the beak and drinking water, he thought in a corner of his dim head, "If I get caught by Rita, I'll be scolded a lot." Then, with his slowly waking head, he reassures himself that there is no Rita.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA87fysPP9J

He slowly passed the water to his throat and drank three or four sips, and he came to his senses a little.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzdv2vHtu5

And only then did Jeong Tae-ui remember that the voice he heard in his dream a while ago was not just a dream.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKny3QXr17o

Should we go out, Tae-ui?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbdCqQFMD9

As it is said, Jeong Jae-ui told Jeong Tae-ui without a single mistake.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy7GrtmGfo

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxl62GOIbh

It didn't come to a conclusion in the end. Without barking at any conclusions exactly, they met a stark darkness there. We talked about something until the stars that were about to pour again over our heads were crisp.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXucCHIcxF

He thought it was a story that didn't matter at all, and it didn't matter. Just like it used to be when it was just the two of us. It was a calm time, a little nostalgic.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQKmX5eZ1

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head. After putting the glass water bottle in one hand down on the table again, he sat blankly for a while, and then came out of bed feeling the movement outside.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkrJNMnrBk

The time was a little earlier than usual. The early morning air is still lingering. However, it was not that early in the morning, but slowly the unique fresh air of the morning was digging through the early morning air.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB3WiplSQc

Jeong Tae-ui, who stepped out of the bedroom, stood in the corridor where the air of dawn and morning was mixed and looked. In the middle, the pond was still filled with water without waves. Above it were yellow and red flowers, one by one, floating like lotus flowers. Maybe it wasn't long ago.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17dK1A9AhB

Diligent people who worked here always carried flowers on the pond early in the morning before Jeong Tae-ui woke up, sharpened flowers in vases, and wiped other places except for the bedroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg4JVYYGkX

Jeong Tae-ui also didn't get up late unless something happened, but here, everyone else was always up before he got up. There were only a few other Arab men in surveillance, a young man attached to him, and a couple of white-clad women who could barely move and trim the house, but occasionally saw them skimming the corridors.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS11RSSPX2

Indeed, if he is not diligent, it is difficult to work under a proper person, and Jeong Tae-ui thought as he passed through the vase of the corridor, which is clear to have been freshly ground.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH1bj4G0FA

Perhaps because he heard Jeong Jae-ui's voice from his dream, his footsteps headed to his bedroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuxJpWxfUr

He didn't have much to say, but he might as well get right on yesterday's topic.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsa3JxJM8n

"Hyung, I'm going in."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxx6LzzubA

Jeong Tae-ui, who reached Jeong Jae-ui's bedroom, shouted in front of the door and opened the door. He made eye contact with an Arab man who stood tall at the end of the corridor and looked at him. Good morning, he murmured in a voice that he couldn't hear over there and raised his hand slightly. The blunt Arab man nods slightly as if he understood what he said, although he didn't respond much today.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoGNo3Nhv7

Jeong Tae-ui smiled and went into the bedroom. That hard-faced man wasn't a bad guy either. Although he couldn't understand people, but understood languages, he was in a position to monitor him, but he wasn't as unlucky as the man who was the owner. Now, after breakfast in a little while, he'll come again if nothing happens. He almost said something when he came.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotZuzWkoag

"To put it mildly...."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXT6qZRrmK

Jeong Tae-ui, who went into the bedroom muttering to himself, took a couple of steps and stopped.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRBHETrAHL

The bed was empty.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIlybomdvs

Oh, he tilted his head. Then he turned his head and looked out into the corridor. But there was also no face to look for.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK70Gri3wp

Jeong Jae-ui, who wakes up earlier than Jeong Tae-ui, usually sits next to a pond in the corridor at dawn and looks at the bright sky. However, when Jeong Tae-ui came out of the bedroom, there was no one in the corridor, so he thought he would be in the bedroom. But the bedroom is also empty.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe7tGGWMtk

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDmNrpvnlS

Jeong Tae-ui patted the cheek with his index finger and looked down at the empty bed. Then he snooped his head and turned.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWPMh9Oaug

Today, the start of the day seems a little different from usual. But there was nothing to wonder about. It wasn't necessary to move as planned, and sometimes Jeong Jae-ui would move in a different direction than predicted.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQbWaa2CH

He will find him in a detached house anyway. If there is no corridor or bedroom, the rest is just a courtyard, study, and bathroom. He wouldn't have gone to the restaurant because it's not time for dinner yet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09IflbxiAm

Jeong turned to the study. On the way there, he leaned out of the outside door and looked at the courtyard, but there was no one. Then it's either in the study or in the bathroom.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMDb3iAusU

Jeong Tae-ui, who reached the study with a leisurely walk as if enjoying a walk in the morning, found Jeong Jae-ui there.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6gVkyShAy

"There you are."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznVaLQOhEI

Jeong Tae-ui smiled and approached him when he saw Jeong Jae-ui sitting in front of the desk. Jeong Jae-ui, who was writing something, gave Jeong Tae-ui a glance, said, "Yes, you're up?" and then turned to the desk again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci7ZX7HQ4B

His voice somehow seems to be quieter than usual. His face as well as his voice was languid.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjyABpZOFF

Jeong Tae-ui tilted his head and looked at his face, and slightly frowned.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GiIhCRCiM

"Didn't you sleep?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWFobEDMZS

"Well......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0sJu3yjWo

Jeong Jae-ui murmured as if he were half-heartedly. Jeong Tae-ui approached him with a curious tilt of his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd5ybXwoON

Jeong Jae-ui used to stay up all night. Originally, he was a person who forgets erosion when he focuses on something. There were several times when he stayed up all night reading books or thinking hard. So when Jeong Tae-ui woke up in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom, he went to Jeong Jae-ui's room, where the light was on until then, and muttered, "Are you not sleeping yet?" more than once.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMwR1EPsrd

However, this was never the case in this detached house.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQVcbZmECQ

In this small paradise isolated from the world, Jeong Jae-ui lived a peaceful and regular life. It wouldn't be a big surprise to stay up all night now, but.......

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PqITUKQbp

"What kept you up all night again? Did you have anything to focus on?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKV7GiNPtH

Jeong Tae-ui approached Jeong Jae-ui's back and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he looks at the desk over his shoulder. Jeong Tae-ui liked to see traces of Jeong Jae-ui's anguish written on the paper, although Jeong Tae-ui would not understand it at all if it was a piece of paper that Jeong Jae-ui could hold on to and stay up all night.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ATk7fM9tu

However, when Jeong Jae-ui saw dozens of papers spread out on the desk, Jeong Tae-ui closed his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXCVnWt129

As abstract and unrealistic as a three or four-year-old child did, the elusive paintings were gradually refined to recognize the content as the paper was added. And the unknown formulas and signs on each page were increasingly subdivided as they added paper, making the complex more complicated and the simplified more simplified.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1zEhPtHHf

"This is..."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugH5AQEqDu

Jeong Tae-ui, who can be said to know almost nothing about the difference between Jeong Jae-ui, but he soon noticed what the paintings and writings were. He has seen something similar a few times before. Although he didn't think it was actually for sale at the time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYtRhi4Vyt

"Did you stay up all night for this yesterday?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQtrvEaclQ

Jeong Tae-ui picked up the most precisely drawn paper among the paintings and murmured.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH6ovSgXp5

The painting itself was clumsy and childish, but the contents were clearly recognizable. The painting, which clearly depicts only the basic framework of the interior, was an anti-tank gun.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgCu12Ph8q

Soon, however, Jeong Tae-ui tilted his head slightly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9uVpwkYYl

No, maybe it's not an anti-tank gun. The picture was different from the anti-tank gun he knew.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ4LudUnpY

First of all, the body part was too thin and short. He doesn't know how much power he's expecting, but considering that it's long enough to support the shell, this weapon wouldn't be very powerful.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsxTmiAQA1

It can be lightened or portable, but this goes against the most basic conditions of the weapon. No, but that wasn't the problem now. More than that.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ104wGOumO4

"Well....it's over with a little more work. Hold on a second. I want to finish it before breakfast."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfCqVDO4EE

Jeong Tae-ui looked at Jeong Jae-ui, who was indifferently muttering with a lost expression. This is ridiculous, however. It was impossible to devise a weapon overnight at the most and squeeze out a basic design.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOeD1rvhA1

"Hyung....You are a genius....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMkG6ps6Ha

However, Jeong Tae-ui, who had been mesmerized for a while, soon came to his senses. It's strange to say that he's resistant, but if he thinks about it, Jeong Jae-ui has done many unbelievable things in the past. He doesn't think it's worth it, but it's too much.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtEBnIwC4d

Tae-ui's stupid voice gave Jae-ui a glimpse of him. Then, as if he was embarrassed, he grimaced slightly awkwardly, and then lowered his eyes again to the desk. And he keeps moving his hands and saying.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3TRPeZLSL

"No, I've been thinking about it for a long time. It's not that big of a deal because I'm just writing down what I thought."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUh3WfsVAu

"......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r3wCXyp3M

Jeong Tae-ui fluttered a piece of paper in his hand and put it down. Then he went to the chair by the window and sat down and watched Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaehwQcdvC

Shall we go out, Tae-ui?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFtXvXCsqd

Yesterday, he remembered what Jeong Jae-ui said quietly in the middle. He probably thought from the moment he said it out loud, he would do this. Unless Jeong Tae-ui said, "I don't want to go out." he thought that he would go out no matter how he reversed his words and bent his will.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcBJp0GT7q

Jeong Tae-ui pressed his right hand still, which made him want to hold on to his shoulder. It was a hand that wanted to grab him by the shoulder and say, "Stop it, it's okay, it's okay."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQPZXJXgew

If you want to get out but think you're staying here because of me, I want to get out of here for you even if I don't want to.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ln8WSvtgv

The word is clearly the true meaning of Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuFDVhvCtr

If so, it is rather against his will to stop Jeong Tae-ui. He knew how he felt. Tae-ui would have done the same thing in his position.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdydM3Rw1L

Jeong Tae-ui bowed his head quietly. And he looked down at the right hand that he pressed with his left hand. Slowly, take his left hand off. The right hand hesitated for a moment, but soon relaxed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLAZ2fGEBf

".......It's unique and wonderful in appearance......That thing, can it actually shoot?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFjBBmcgIr

Jeong Tae-ui spoke to Jeong Jae-ui on the back. He speaks softly to him, who is probably still paying attention to Jeong Tae-ui's appearance. Jeong Jae-ui thought his hand would stop for a moment. However, he soon began to move his hand again and wrote something more for about tens of seconds without answering Jeong Tae-ui's words, and then put down the pan. And he looked back on Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDJR6qxwpo

He stared at him for a while and then smiled faintly as if he had lost his strength at some point. From that face, he realizes that he was worried about his appearance, not anything else.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT09UP2yBov

Jeong Jae-ui picked up the paper that he had just taken notes on and looked over it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStJteiN8L3

"It can shoot. You'll be able to shoot more comfortably than your own kind of gun. It's normal in terms of power, but it's a series of portable ones, so you can use it quite easily."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2cGtZF4Jc

"What?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewfRQRagys

Jeong Tae-ui frowned. He stood up from his seat and strode to him. And he looked over his shoulder into the picture.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObvceRzZuW

"This is a series of anti-tank guns?! Where are you going to put the shells? If it's this long, it wouldn't fit."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpIvNDobgf

Jeong Tae-ui looked again at the clumsy painting drawn by Jeong Jae-ui. Is it because he drew it so poorly that he can't recognize it? He tilted his head and opened it again, but it couldn't be a series of structures.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBikv3goFd1

"Well, so this gun needs a special shell. There's a design formula that I wrote down the other day, so you can use it. It's a regular warhead of this size, and if you reduce the power a little, you can explode it up to five times. I have a heartburn.....Should I eat it for breakfast? It's almost over."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PBBzfMo5L

Jeong Jae-ui pointed at the size of the shell with his hand, and stood up rubbing his stomach. And he picked up the almost complete blueprint and pen and headed to the restaurant.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjNJGyhu9

Jeong Tae-ui looked at his back blankly, shook his head excitedly, and followed him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iZCqTqoTR

He seems to have underestimated the character Jeong Jae-ui. He knew that his brother was the favorite of the times, but he didn't know because Jeong Tae-ui would not understand well.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAydLKZ4vB

Even if he had thought about it for a long time, it seemed that he didn't think that much of it was great when he saw the more serious attitude.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zYKsBxOun

"Well, that's worth looking for in the machine. He'd like to kidnap and imprison you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm5PlkfgU9

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and muttered.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGfovf9SbN

Jeong Jae-ui still had a serious face, and while eating at the restaurant, he was lost in thought, and sometimes looked into the paper and deleted or added something and wrote it down. So by the time he finished eating, he closed the lid of the pen with the words, "It's done."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yiAw9ucPt

Jeong Tae-ui smiled with a fed-up face. He is said to be a person who thinks nothing of staying up all night when he concentrates, but he still looks at Jeong Jae-ui, who shows signs of fatigue on his face. Then, he bowed his head, took the last drink, and finished his meal himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dX24ypKxB

After finishing his meal, Jeong Jae-ui, who left the restaurant, walked back to his study, even though he would go to bed any other time after staying up all night. Jeong Tae-ui followed him and asked suspiciously.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxLECJaArm

"Why don't you get some sleep. Aren't you tired?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcK7fJ16eJ

"Well, a little bit, but this is fine. When Raman comes, let's give him this and go out right away. Then you have to pack up your stuff. I didn't bring anything with me in the first place, so I don't have much to bring."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCtJdTMmUN

Jeong Tae-ui slowed down a little. He asks him with a frown.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8uzIbz0LW

"I can't believe we will leave right away. This morning?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5jsHA5ZB5

Then, Jeong Jae-ui looked at Jeong Tae-ui as if he were strange.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVSiv6sKgp

"You have someone you want to meet. Didn't you want to leave as soon as possible? Since we decided to go out, it's better to go out quickly."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWRbsw4hCh

Jeong Jae-ui, who spoke plainly, began to tidy up as soon as he entered the study.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDXTLzrQGR

Collect the scattered papers, cover them separately, and tie the rest and put them in the trash can. In addition, the cluttered items were organized and placed in their original place, and even the cushions of the chair they sat on were shaken off and the hem of the cloth was arranged.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgIteX6AXj

While looking at the neat arrangement, which does not even leave a trace of himself, Jeong Tae-ui helped with a simple arrangement of putting a book in. He didn't forget, but he was a little surprised because it's been a long time since he has encountered it this close. But it's not surprising.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBIHXUP532

Jeong Jae-ui was always a person who left his body in plain and quiet, as time and space passed. However, he did not hesitate to move on what he chose or decided. Contrary to the rush, he didn't like wasting time against his will.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IXSIc7QHu

He didn't know he was so good in action, but it was like that before that the decision was made quickly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpJBVTSwHi

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and put the last book on the shelf, which had been placed in another place. Jeong Jae-ui was also about to put the last pen that was placed on the bookshelf into the drawer and close the drawer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MmmbMHqjW

The attic, the drawer closed, and the arrangement was over. Wait, there was silence in the study.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbfmv8dbfX

There were no more traces of Jeong Jae-ui here. Maybe it's because he didn't have his in the first place. Or maybe it wasn't his place. Nothing was attached to it as one's own thing, and this study was only ''borrowed''. The books, records, and other items that he asked Raman to receive were not his. He didn't think so.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqk8V2lFZx

Jeong Tae-ui looked around the ownerless study for a while and asked.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgnuLhCese

"In the room....In the bedroom, is there anything to pack?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWOcnDUEj

He shook his head. "There's no stuff there either." he says.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHAJNKIWoM

Come to think of it, Jeong Jae-ui was kidnapped and brought here in the first place. There's nothing left to be called his thing.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCK8VMgn2C

Jeong Tae-ui nodded, muttering, "Yeah, I'm the same, so I just have to leave my body." Come to think of it, he left all his passport and money in the backpacker, but it will be there when he goes back.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsAolMxg8R

Suddenly, he felt lighthearted.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SMLhddvS2

It's where he stayed for a while. It was a space that he liked, maybe even lovely. How long will the time to stay in such a quiet and peaceful place come back? in such close proximity to paradise

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE54SNMSUvq

Thinking about going out, he felt a little sad. But he wasn't disappointed. This wasn't their place to begin with.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUZHZ1UbNx

"Well, then.......Wait. But the passport."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCenaLMoat

Jeong Tae-ui expressed a question that suddenly came to mind.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwKgJWAbHX

Jeong Jae-ui did not answer. Then he opens his eyes as if he remembered it and stares at Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTcrZKzEfW

"......I don't have it."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jfB39sxGU

"I put it somewhere."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZGhKHFdW

"I had it up to Varanasi, but I lost my mind and forgot it after I opened my eyes here."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwgak3pmdh

He didn't think about it at all because he didn't have to go out, muttering to Jeong Jae-ui, and Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with white eyes for a while.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgAvkmxJKV

So he sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwl7fTUpwG

"Raman will do it for you. He also said he would make enough compensation if I gave them weapons."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOFwiIbLJY

It could certainly be said to be enormous if it was "a compensation" for that man to speak up. It won't be a problem to do something about a passport. Jeong Tae-ui thought of his luggage to see if he had forgotten anything, and Jeong Jae-ui casually murmured to himself.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprBLkJ2icT

"It's enough compensation for me....... I don't really need it. And it's annoying giving me something like heredity."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquxyRSTnjH

Well, Jeong Tae-ui, who was nodding at Jeong Jae-ui's words, paused for a moment. He tilted his head slightly frowned. He thought he heard something weird.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40cZzTv3CH

"What did you get?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSbsgPadXt

"Hereditary. I got one before.......Oh, come to think of it, there's a right....Tae-ui, don't you need an inheritance? I'll give it to you."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h97gF9j9a

Jeong Jae-ui, who was lost in thought for a while and spoke seriously as if he was annoyed, looked at Jeong Tae-ui without even blinking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmDsuyCuHV

It's hereditary. It's definitely hereditary. The black gold that springs out of the Middle East.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xkJhQHyvI

".......You got it? To whom?

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8cUzr9xNX

"Raman. It's not that big, but he gave it to me as it's pretty useful."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J1iGnH9x2

Jeong Tae-ui lost his words. And he stared at Jeong Jae-ui. Jae-ui said, "Tell me if you need it later. I don't need it." he said, but the sound didn't even come up.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQz523Wd6n

That's why he's so prejudiced against the guys with the diamond spoon in their mouths.....

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ynYCw7jZ

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head. What does he think of giving it to him when it's no use anyway? He couldn't imagine it when he thought of that stark, cool-looking face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv2zvKsnCj

"I guess he really wanted to win your favor. Did he need a weapon that much?....But he didn't make me what I asked him to make, and he just played carelessly, so he managed not to get angry and held it in."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vjE0LPW1L

Jeong Tae-ui murmured sulkily, and Jeong Jae-ui smiled quietly. So he tapped the paper that he put on the desk calmly, saying, "You make it for me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXpu2dc6eJ

Jeong Tae-ui sighed. Anyway, he can get out now. If he goes out, he can meet the person he needs to meet and the person he wants to meet.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrXW1MN7kZ

Suddenly, his fingers twitched.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9BM58HAE

There's only one person in his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG5zaef8rE

He's probably the first person to contact when he gets out of here.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcDsBI1aiF

"......In the end, I can't fix my illness......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1n1ZGtw2Q

Jeong Tae-ui murmured to himself. But he didn't feel so bad. Smirking, a smile circulated around his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt4rqu22Yh

It was then.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3JKCuCgKf

From the end of the corridor, he could hear the sound of footsteps approaching this way. It's a heavy yet refreshing step.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijF6ccR4cO

Jeong Tae-ui turned to the side where he could hear the sound. The sound of footsteps that came right in front of me soon came into the study with the appearance of a person.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpXVP9d9um

"Good morning."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7jKroAyAz

It was Raman who came in first with an obscene greeting. It was the same time as always.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviq8vy8ykV

As he entered the study, he slightly raised his eyebrows when he found Jeong Tae-ui's appearance. He looks like he didn't expect to be with him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhsNGAzcgM

Indeed, until now, Jeong Tae-ui used to stay somewhere else and go to the study after he returned because he didn't want to meet Raman when he came even if he had to go to the study.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1xO1eRGdd

"The brothers must have been having a friendly conversation."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRMQYvwHQw

Raman smiled softly, showing no sign of it. The laughter, which would not have been desired at any time, didn't seem so bad to think it was the last time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoNisqoB63

"I don't know if I can get a good answer today."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn0C3tt915

Raman said, taking a step closer to Jeong Jae-ui. As usual, Jeong Tae-ui felt somewhat resentful as he heard the sweet voice.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfUDRRo0kh

In the end, it was a pity to bring weapons into this man's hands. What he wanted wasn't a weapon in itself. Rather than the weapon itself, he coveted the name Jae-ui, which could be obtained from it.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGzyfbRppy

Considering that the name Jeong Jae-ui would be used by that man, Jeong Tae-ui felt bitter even if Jeong Jae-ui implicitly agreed.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0J5zuFnSY

It can't be helped now.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZcpw8pADu

Jeong Tae-ui's appetite became bitter. It's a bit of a blur on his face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDppYuqm2L

However, Jeong Jae-ui, who would be using his name, looked like nothing happened. In the first place, he didn't care about such things.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOew89jk2hB

Rather, Jeong Jae-ui seemed to be in a good mood now. Perhaps, he had given up his burden on the man who had provided him with a comfortable environment that he could achieve his will somehow.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIiHTHfJqm

Jeong Jae-ui smiled. It's not the usual vague or calm laugh. It was a really happy smile. Raman paused when he saw the smile. Rather, the smile disappeared from his face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQws44A9W2

Jeong Jae-ui picked up some of the papers he had left on the desk and held them out to him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5yl8hzMr7

"Here. I've matched what you said before. You said you wanted an anti-tank gun. You can probably use it as it is without any alteration. The first page is the structure of the warhead, as I wrote down here....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PhoINEDxq

Turning the page, Jeong Jae-ui gave a rough explanation.Without having to explain it separately, he added that he wrote it down so that a familiar person could see it immediately, and Jeong Jae-ui turned over the paper as if he were checking it in front of his eyes.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ihjmWN9mk

But Raman wasn't looking at the paper.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ExZaw2zc

His usual smile was washed away. There was no expression left, and an expressionless face that even looked creepy was staring at Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGpaOc3Ulw

"......?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XCpCaCGa0

Jeong Tae-ui, who was looking at him sitting next to him in a window chair, frowned.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmUcChH4ey

In contrast to his resentment, he thought he must be pleased. And should have been pleased. But there was no such expression on his face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQwH1Qs2hh

Maybe it's because he didn't get a good answer even though he came and went every day for quite a long time, so he couldn't even imagine meeting the expectations that suddenly fell.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWea3678cVq

Jeong Jae-ui, who finished explaining all of them by turning over six or seven sheets of paper one by one, raised his head as if he had realized his expressionless gaze. Jeong Jae-ui, who looked at him suspiciously for a while, continued, tilting his head slightly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2By6AWAlX1

"It's an outline, but I've written down the essentials, so if you look at the experts, you won't have to add anything. However, if there is anything unclear or lacking, please contact me. I'll probably go back home soon after I get out of here, so you can contact me there."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNqLtBK8ph

Jeong Jae-ui finished speaking and handed over the papers to Raman. He looked at Jeong Jae-ui without moving a little, and only then slowly lowered his eyes onto the paper.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I9LkMCt0q

"I think you refused yesterday......did you finish this in one day?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfqODQLHFD

Raman said quietly. There was no emotion in the slow hand that looked over the paper. The same goes for his gaze, which looks through the content with a cold eye. There was not even a smile that was customary.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJjstE2v9q

"Oh, I had something in mind in the past, so I just fixed it up a little bit.......do you not like it?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKyY4QOyT

Looking at Raman's expression, which was cold and hardened without a trace of laughter, Jeong Jae-ui asked suspiciously. Raman looked through the last page and covered the paper to give attention to Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwhEbYLY7B

"That's not true. Even for me as an outsider, I think there will be something very useful. It's great."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZF14nO3MW

Raman spoke in an unpretentious tone. It was a finished product that could not be pretentious.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBwYOixnRE

Jeong Jae-ui nodded with a smile.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5cKW9uJAJ

"That's a relief. I'm glad it helped."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbio9y5AYvN

He looked really happy. Jeong Tae-ui looked at Jeong Jae-ui and thought that maybe he was not so completely comfortable while staying here. Indeed, that man generously poured out everything that Jeong Jae-ui wanted. No matter how much he didn't show it, there's no way that nothing was more expensive than free.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2qw8qcI99

Jeong Tae-ui stood up from his chair. And he took a step closer to them, exactly to the door beyond them.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjZcS9pqXD

"Let's go hyung...Thank you very much."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMvnwxuGL7

Jeong Tae-ui looked back as he passed through between Raman and Jeong Jae-ui. In the meantime, he also met Raman's eyes and politely nodded and greeted him. It was a man he didn't want to see very much again, but nothing was so badly damaged. In addition, he was detained, but he was considerate so that there would be no inconvenience in living.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71tK1qX3ZK

Jeong Tae-ui, who sincerely said thank you, stood at the door. And he waited for Jeong Jae-ui to come out.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3BzdsqIfV

Jeong Jae-ui looked at Raman for a moment without saying a word. He nodded slightly when his eyes met Raman, who was looking down at him expressionlessly with the design he had given in one hand.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3PlpR5aNi

"In the meantime, I've been comfortable thanks to you. I wish you good health until I see you again someday."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT80yUO3RR

However, it was when Jeong Jae-ui, who greeted him like that, was about to walk away.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuByZG7j31L

"Are you leaving right now? I don't think you need to go out so suddenly like this."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy2rLldrZr

Raman stood in his way lightly. He stepped back a little bit and moved his body sideways, but Jeong Jae-ui, who was trying to take a step, stopped his feet because his front was blocked.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmCHPgyS9Y

"You've given me such a wonderful gift, much less a valuable guest I've been serving for a long time, and I'll be ashamed of myself if I let you go like this."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zbRpYm5Op

Raman shook his head and said softly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3PgEqXlBT

Jeong Tae-ui, who was waiting for Jeong Jae-ui at the door, frowned a little. At one point, Raman's face was again smiling as usual. The laugh was somehow offensive.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhkmGc8kSs

"I appreciate your words, but I have business to attend to. You've done too much kindness, so it's already too much to accept any more than this."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ETvHgXWP6

He shook his head. Then he stepped a little sideways. But this time again, Raman took a step back and tilted his body a little more to block Jeong Jae-ui's front. Jeong Tae-ui frowned. Jeong Jae-ui's expression was also slightly stiff.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2KdwTs6BF

It can be said that once, but twice, it had a clear intention.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczaE13xup0

He turned toward them and spoke slowly to Raman, who was turning his back on him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbFFFegPst

"I feel like you're in the way....."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlrivWFufJ

"Oh, did I?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppN283FwYy

Raman glanced back at him. The gaze was as usual. His mouth is smiling and his eyes are frighteningly cold. He slowly looked back at Jeong Jae-ui. Jeong Jae-ui was looking at him with a vague stiff face. Suddenly Raman smiled thickly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRWn4xFG7B

"I was mistaken. I didn't know you could make this much stuff without this much difficulty."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3m0egAwIU

"To say that you thought wrong......?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeGnWcGJ96

Jeong Jae-ui asked back quietly. However, Jeong Jae-ui's faintly frowned eyes already knew the answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF23BSJkXr8

"It means I can't let you go. There's room for any better in other people's hands, so if there's room for an enemy's favor, I'll have to stop it beforehand."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVA1mToZ5h

Raman's weak answer spread clearly in the quiet study. For a moment, no one said anything. Among them, Raman was the only one with a cool smile.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnwar4ZrPE

"This is too much.......That's a different story."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAKujYyFLn

He said with a sigh.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokrMKoZ4TI

No wonder things work out so easily. Luck has to be so fierce these days. He thought it would be okay if he were with him.......it's a bit sad if his unlucky fate is stronger.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fQ04vAaT

Despite Jeong Tae-ui's disapproving and powerless protest, Raman did not budge. As if he could not hear it at all, he turned away from Jeong Tae-ui and was only looking at Jeong Jae-ui. As if waiting to hear what he will say.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAmu6wDVn3

Jeong Jae-ui remained silent for a while. He looked down at Raman's chest, and then he looked at him again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5XX8F3C4J

"I don't intend to make any more weapons. Now, this is probably the last time I've given you. So you can't ask for and get the same thing that someone else, like you did to me."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzngHEKh2d2

But Raman laughed low. Shake his head slowly.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlmM1Sz5GG

"I can't believe what people say. As proof of that, you gave me this diagram of a new weapon, which you said you would not make any more weapons even if you look at it right now."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8TydW6Gz5

Even before his words were over, Jeong Tae-ui sighed and shouted, "It seems like you were dumbfounded."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTJ4XORYr

"I can't choose one with that logic. You keep your word, you don't make weapons, so you can lock them up for life, or if you break them once, you can continue to break them and make them somewhere else?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt3i5vPEHf

Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue, adding in his native language, "To match to which rhythm, you nobleman."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevyghRVPrT

But Raman seemed to have no intention of backing down. He just shook his head. Jeong Jae-ui, who had been thinking for a while without saying anything, opened his mouth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnuEurxn7d

"Raman, you promised me. If I hand over the weapons as you wish, you'll get me out of here as soon as possible, and you'll compensate me accordingly. There is no need for compensation. I've already been overpaid during my stay here. I just want you to fulfill the former promise."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7LvBziPF

"I apologize for that. I was mistaken."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW37Y10Mnd

Raman shook his head unconcernedly against his words.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb1CcuUmzI

Jeong Tae-ui managed to clear his hot and rising stomach, and turned his back because he thought he would have a disease if he saw the man's face even a little more.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI36uEDDoy

He didn't expect that. He never thought it would be like this. As Raman said, he thought that if he gave him what he wanted, he could go straight down the road. Don't tell me he's going to have ridiculous difficulty.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE2dcegDe0

"Well, if you're a royal, shouldn't you keep your word?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsroLeStwH

Jeong Tae-ui felt heavy inside, so he stroked his chest and murmured crookedly. He felt an icy gaze on the back of his head, but he didn't look back.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2U3vKylBX

"It is a great pity for me to break the promise I made myself, but I can't help it if I am to discredit myself for something more important than prestige."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj3aKalUNK

Raman's brazenly nonchalant voice came over his shoulder. Once again, he's getting choked up.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGGmoKeiTI

This is why diamond spoons are no match for each other. That's why.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EQyMfhWJB

Jeong Tae-ui controlled his rising stomach, reflecting on the prejudice that it seemed wrong to be corrected. What does he say? He does not seem to be great, so he turns his back and only pats on the heavy chest.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8b0k04KGr

"......How can we get out of here?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt3njYOxVg

Jeong Jae-ui said after a moment's thought. Raman raised his eyebrows slightly. Soon he burst into a low laugh.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFBsGp3L2O

"Well, that's wise. Another way of suggesting......."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgafdP2oUvL

He seemed to be thinking of something. He opens his eyes slightly and looks down at Jeong Jae-ui. Jeong Jae-ui waited for his answer to come back after his thoughts were over without saying a word.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8tD4kdnx3

After a while, Raman slowly opened his mouth. But what came out of his mouth was a disappointing answer.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVeKQBaVYA

"I'm afraid you don't have a viable alternative. I have to ask you to stay here until I have a good idea.......Of course, as always, there will be no inconvenience in staying here. I promise you that in my honor and in my family."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0twCp6TtSo

As if Raman would not listen to any other differences, he said so far and turned away. Then, he left the room with a short greeting, saying, "Take a rest." and he turned his back in front of the room and passed by Jeong Tae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ylyoLYmx

At this moment, if he holds this man's neck and puts a knife in it and threatens him......For a moment, Jeong Tae-ui thought of a terrible idea, but he already gave up at the time when he thought of it because he was unlikely to be able to hear it effectively.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a609VFbds

Jeong Tae-ui glanced at Raman passing by.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx6HWCamvL

There was no expression on Raman's face. He couldn't even guess what he was thinking.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLwzPUmy6r

Without looking back, he walked straight across the middle to the west end of the corridor. Then his figure disappeared beyond the door, and the door was firmly closed again, isolating the quiet space from the outside again.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSzwdl8wa9

Jeong Tae-ui sighed slowly. Scratching his head, he looked back. There stood a Jeong Jae-ui.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv4ZO7SSOs

"....... He said he wouldn't let us go."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD0o1vFfvi

While thinking about how to open the door, Jeong Tae-ui shrugged his shoulders, muttering what Jeong Jae-ui already knew. Jeong Jae-ui also did not seem to have thought of this situation. There was a glimmer of embarrassment on his face.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxCTzDjYw

"I know.....What should we do?"

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2BGRcLW66

His muttering words were more like talking to himself than seeking Jeong Tae-ui's opinion.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpytwlhaRmV

Jeong Tae-ui sat down on the spot. Sitting on the ground in front of the door, he scratched his head.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J0xTuTfT8

Jeong Jae-ui, who had been lost in thought for a while, suddenly saw Jeong Tae-ui. Seeing Jeong Tae-ui sitting a little depressed, he soon exhaled a quiet breath. And speaks as quietly as that breath.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4vs64f6H1

"It's all right. we'll be able to get out."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomeN5BZEHM

Jeong Tae-ui paid attention to Jeong Jae-ui. It was not a consolation light. It was just a calm tone that seemed to tell the truth.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqYMDcJ6v

He didn't know there was any other good move. Yeah, maybe. This man in front of us is, after all, a genius that everyone can keep an eye on.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPkgcu50oI

His mind, which was heavily depressed, seemed to brighten up a little. Jeong Tae-ui was facing Jeong Jae-ui and laughed at some point.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBdsaz4BaK

"Tell me if there's any way."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo93S74rxh

"No, there's no way......We'll be able to get out."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wSUFGj3cE

Jeong Jae-ui shook his head excitedly and said seriously.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM833Gnj3ux

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him. Suddenly something vaguely came to mind. If there's a reason why he's arguing like this for no reason...

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4B802DWzT

"......why."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEBCveoX6Y

"Because you want to go out. Because I want to go out."

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg84HpOlol

Jeong Jae-ui said in a casual tone, as if nothing had happened. And Jeong Tae-ui knew better than anyone that the words were neither excessive bluster nor groundless confidence.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHb0Lv1Vw5

It's time for this.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlh9gqQrMb

To think that Jeong Tae-ui envies his brother for a moment. Jeong Tae-ui burst into laughter. Laughing out loud. At one point, both anger and depression disappeared.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBFAic79b5

Nothing has been resolved. Still, they were trapped in this little paradise, and now the logical way out of it is completely gone.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD5838xqgm

However, Jeong Tae-ui laughed as he looked at Jeong Jae-ui, who had never been worried about life-related issues with a carefree face, saying, "There is no choice, there will be another way." It wasn't that he didn't believe in Jeong Jae-ui's terrible luck. Apart from his correlation with himself, he has seen his fortune beyond measure.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiZnk9QVXP

Jeong Tae-ui saw Jeong Jae-ui with a face that still couldn't stop smiling even though he laughed for a long time.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36KSvAAo6g

In fact, Jeong Tae-ui was accepting Jeong Jae-ui's miraculous luck as a reality, but he was not optimistic enough to wait for a miracle in advance. Luck has always been uncertain, no matter how many times. So he didn't believe it with firm conviction that he could get out of here, but he definitely felt at ease.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhQ5bhwLUf

Maybe it was the luck that Jeong Jae-ui brought to him.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea7hgSIygU

It was that night.

456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqkMDcLBic

Just five minutes before midnight.
