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....

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOtUV0Fkmf

It was a dirty story everywhere.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyjs5MKqFw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8n96k6o3B

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguKnEiYBlV

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ5B5NqnpX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8TGKrKrgU

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusW8tt3v2L

Jeong Tae-ui has been grumbling for a while.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM9Nb57WTG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumtJm3hjnw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkQ468n2GY

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''.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64uhZ02l1c

......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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuE2MD0XoM

"Beer would be perfect."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo9TYHaCQZ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IYRuDsT6W

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI87WbeOlK

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcIKwI8EKy

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh20iA9pTnR

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TJn4wffof

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBSyU15Uy5

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMBn3dfMtu

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBeVfbDpFq

Jeong Tae-ui muttered lazily.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPDwLJF4SW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8mJrT98ah

"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.''

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj2e21mgR4

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlmOZq0EX0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVSKDUwOYw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6uuCbhWGJ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWeuD06WxF

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzMiK4Gl4f

However, he shook his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59J2FbwZyq

"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..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWOmFKDMRU

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NGBLIReNe

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MbSn3L0w9

"Why?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GOsgk6ZPx

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxEICagKlt

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzN1uYqKAM

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqn7J2r06M

''Then what can I do?''

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCQKhtcPua

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKMMIGi6fg

"What about you?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gz1b7mc4E

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISXkrsdm7y

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKll2OKoECu

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRtOLQFvI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W9GtZP1Y0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10GtCcE2Ar

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqXhJPWTkw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3AiLe25k0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZyT57zLZl

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIUAcuVJyL

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv9TvAywys

"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.''

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdM36UaE06

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJfS46EjZm

"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.''

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90M3xdP16j

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBiGp9V56c

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXlirBnON9

''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.''

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSEiRnJmN1

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKoLvreFNU

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHaQ9QiR6I

"Then what if I get trapped or tortured?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLIspNhE23

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFvd8G6w1s

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcLELP5iMl

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2MyzETo69

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TOYEE3U0m

But his life comes first.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhMXSiWfIE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIAlRQBJwU

One day like that.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0tA8zq0xl

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkCmq1rEIL

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SvWpGvUDT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5dECMoghw

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfREEiYZ34T

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIEyHGSsM

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpHdwonDk5

"By the way, hyung."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZt2nFWmXq

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHjEyyzkQx

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXi7CWlbYd

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDJq3rQQr

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeER9gzFEW6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUBcy9yKFv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQrbHCKosw

"Do they want you to make a weapon?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ijOKsLTk

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTx2nskcah

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqObEqg2Pnc

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4LFQfzh2H

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVnrPkPWK

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jnB8qNJmS

"That's you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DcA0Y2aLc

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3058WY5Nx

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo2AqHcTk5

"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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9U17WxwZS

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoIIxvY1gC

Jeong Tae-ui murmured to himself.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL5CoPgD0O

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRlVpkqh3w

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtK7sQtG8m

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1c2kZjFHw

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpWdejyDvf

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XbemV9qz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJNdfdNDx

Jeong Tae-ui heard Jeong Jae-ui sigh.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7PtnAvhPG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtttgJztAYV

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YB5NOD3A7

"I will."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WscJw9pRt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbmXe3KILw

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp43Un8zDW

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbokhK9VW

"......Then who?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRB2QwtBc7

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB5nyQLImA

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxFWO3VFyL

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLKe7wEA1H

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHYq3YpYIN

Ilay Riegrow.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Q8mcikJ8

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ESR6mGiRv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhfpvAFnks

Then, should he come here to find me?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eKqhStBwh

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fQ4951DxF

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGigKw0zlYN

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHlhjbLI1z

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF4YRTO4Ik

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN9VjwUyTM

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaL55JVvSu

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoBwCnUsVZ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1I4VyuXKw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuJ4Epk4kQ

"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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl40uDwdEWS

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTn5KqmrZe

Jeong Tae-ui slipped his hand awkwardly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1MSa67KQj

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.)

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV42qCEBXS

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z6Es6BWEL

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfzULoD6HD

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbQx3Q4FWu

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsFYyXOCYR

Of course. He has never seen him before.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcsxRAwH9H

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFSeaKBbjs

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT4jlYZLX9

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW03D4gM7gt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA8MIROo4s

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaO4VvqODu

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVe373G4JX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sAUJPZRww

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMztonTvV8

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9EMUE08IE

"Who is this guy?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8LxBHLhl8

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGamCTDqL4f

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKunVakC2rB

Then, is it a watchman or security?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXKuotXBfH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ezKVe6OSk

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOIaoSbu6c

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3LJXJTGhG

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdESFj5fGub

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRk2ewUdaA

"Raman. You came early."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk56MwB3zl

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.

Raman.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC9HOlaZzl

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd80wcSPwiZ

"This guy is..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfmfB2lsgw

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr9oATOm20

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0CwaEB0pt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl1ucV0A1u

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs1e25dIG7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWCgY6fUUj

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVn6JHH1H4

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXZsr5yqQl

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKne8pBr9ZM

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkiWwcjQYt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBCKTSzC6R

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvG6YXNB10

But.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsrQuC5G0n

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx1IeizFHo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdI1NevbOi

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIpcOgM3kJ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ngXUPEu9

"Have you considered accepting my offer?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RRv2l1IAB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYM2PmtCRd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXziHXmyDN4

"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.''

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vjg5fzpG7

"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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfkpW1hF5R

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc4779bzUv

He heard Jae-ui's answer.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04mYhLWFy7

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtkIrqa1M

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXkTKok2a

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvN9Z7Gc9Y

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8fH7sZNog

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF5MLzJ2Q9

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9RJsa5mm5

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA7H4nXayT

There was a moment of silence.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfYohZcc9K

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIsYHyAXPv

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbxQlgGHJs

Jeong Jae-ui still nodded vaguely, without answering.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJjqMpZi6O

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ3DqT376Y

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6eRLsGSEh

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDGGqZalDA

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebLJjbxp79

"Oh….me?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7rK6jcIiO

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56pzNt2TNe

"How did you know this place?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRx6axffMO

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z4CGYbkPl

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?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzYw165Bpx

"I don't know where this is."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJxaYDC36K

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUCsyoJGL6

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx0VYkhhPt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi88gcpjPMj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVjpsOo2Bb

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieo5UH8BTA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o6aBih2wn

"Did you come to Seringue with your friends?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI6NVP0wlz

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtV4aiEVZF

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WnDonoJUt

It was only a matter of time anyway.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cZ9ZBMbQI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaveP1jN8IB

A companion. Gable and Ilay.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJfSBfGAPs

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlOSGg7VXD

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs8JWb9naz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Z0CuCJbw

"How did you know he was in Seringue?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jFKCypsRf

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?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZZgWMUm3Z

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbElE7ysFr

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcuyJk0c82

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc420M3C8PE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNscXawDjt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTBsc7Fc65

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF2R4zNwRp

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZmiAt5zQ1

Then.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7KG06thdY

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRikSOCBVmE

It was Jeong Jae-ui who spoke quietly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXFbFtmOGd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2FN1WkLWJ

It was just a calm voice telling its own facts.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU25RnhvyV7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybqm97s39a

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bj0qz2Ucv

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfeynBSWJb

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwDCiSiwEH

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPduYYwOtG

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ARP1CDQfg

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7E93qTG2V

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDchnq8FW5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZwa10cVPn

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and muttered useless words.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNijQgFIKOR

"No, I can't die here."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWfesAZhnT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr1RbjXVnO

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iAXnOZejq

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGyw4D3zNM

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1WebS8vZV

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTpx3zW1U7

"It's my luck."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG8LlY8m5o

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqvbvJIjYl

"Gilsangcheon."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrUAXfJIIK

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPfddO80wd

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Ay06z4yN

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy65XYWAH0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNpD0GIvGw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lnAw9iABw

"...?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8g0MR43y

It occurred to him that it was strange.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rkuelCLLM

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnVzmgASkA

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7lgw8uKW5

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksAdi2ZfIh

Jeong Tae-ui murmured without hiding his awkward face.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTIYdFhvqu

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj2mYdphwM

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?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQf4X4hzf0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHwY91UBrB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHcZxP30fb

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RasBQQzeC

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kzuOeNl8g

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRLYirMjZa

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE7dCA4xXG

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ADMWfUKg

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax9gdgZjbd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDILRDfDAlG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHajO4O7Hba

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NH0tQYPxT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhG8Bt7bus

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bJu8lN77L

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOQur6GTQa

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaEgvl2TlS

"Am I really your Gilsangcheon?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p0eV2h5OC

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7l3HDYDKU

"How come?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wQtQkVtVB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivBSvx2s4K

Soon after, Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6epMUh6aIi

"Just because."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqjl1KGvkD

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOIK2NIgmA

Just one answer came back.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykqlQR41FE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9BzwMFRdI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRzpJxdhVo

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHltjBYJOVw

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0n630D1KX

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdJvF3R2z0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVcX0LZRd1

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eO3DXsNbM

Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub6u2DZopj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOJTJi0qnt

But.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE3JycFVTA

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly sighed.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoofHgpwMtY

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzUYF7ktCa

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3br3ceQ9rc

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0svdH887Xs

"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?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9PHWim0Cg

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShVfww984L

"Me too."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WfpEQwsly

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FWFYql0qa

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWck9icoeW

Jeong Tae-ui gave him another look.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1HAPuTZaF

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoMFTyJ8M8

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq77dsNlFJ0

Jeong Jae-ui also smiled faintly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMRl1SpnRe

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXBUr0GNK0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsDxtMrjTt

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

***

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf0wNuxPuh

This place was completely blocked from the outside.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjRZKXE0A3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4ENTtajP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDGavrkqUk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnNxWKTFJl

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZfldvBnUP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQeDzv7C9q

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48WHRiOXwO

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2vtc7pLRG

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNHGyEFLqw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyme2Nt7q0Y

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7efKGIO9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUhyEsJ3dC

But.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC9Ma5tQ1B

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU577HCiTqA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLLdEmA8tx

Ilay. Ilay Riegrow.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEYISiv5b0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9lYypUgi

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i2Oxrlj9S

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L9c58E07k

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZenOWnfwQA

"Ilay......"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZvtL4WQ7M

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIDZMz1Ady

Maybe it's a good thing.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79YQ481ism

He could get out of his hands here.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEWK90iGP2

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm1xNIWr9t

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOQ6mtRKyS

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ1VP9iojH

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiIOTxqfil

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5d88MhtUz

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWMECfICYm

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADMYdy7NUH

Then suddenly, a question crossed his mind.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnC2YzsHT1

What does Ilay think he has about him?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHDczAjzsp

"...Pu-Hap!"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWByppcCA76

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OZOfPMT58

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheuTa3glAz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aYMoWQ0hL

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbzFKX8IBx

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7adHZXL21L

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9BXxc9OS1

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDj87zJljm

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPIUcWcOXz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmzwj4dzTm

Did you feel like accepting my offer today?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2EPtmkUr1

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcZmBa5phe

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71JB5fWgBC

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBPQb22136

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkjSSnRbOj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r7SQDC3UT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgdYfqLaqu

Jeong Tae-ui opened his mouth with a smile.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVTTl8LQyl

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAwKMfRgIf

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwtoVDt6DF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VH46h9RrW

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDoz0R94rI

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpzCTPoKbk

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nkiEKI1jC

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsMoP1EYIG

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Hn5221V1

"That's a relief."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Ey6Hs7yu

Raman nodded and smiled.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hCTyC3ddf

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpLjJDVID3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdPS6cS8E0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3KzarK4mP

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a11lc3Yyx

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoBayky3wJ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T1QtiW4Xk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZS4JP7ZpH

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLoHGxRBYh

"Oh, by the way."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYxvHfQx1X

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84fUzsQGC

"Do you have anything to say?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgESrTbiE5N

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT9gsdSND3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpcbSIImzr

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm0To7wWWq

"You want to go out?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHDUz5KmmF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA3Kd0WtcT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9vjHmiqrN

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabE0YYpLTi

Jeong Tae-ui looked straight at him and smiled.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKPKrRMpSW

"You know it well."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyoX2vEzG2

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7f07azQjM

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOW9NKXWG3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHYfGvRYSp

"Bong..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyktfGYmxQA

"He said he was looking for you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd3ELx0bKS

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwVD6ZGJWH

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZo70t7W5I

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3xYyivMj3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb9WrRCehQ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3h3KVfHxo

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4595QqfWb

"........"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjDvg3QbdN

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyVJT8T2my

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr7l8IhLLg

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68iVyxf2qh

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsj2x2jXGK

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVkK9y8JYz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KkanaMTX8

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U1WTCBFac

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?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMLZ53SpB7

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCjjmGtQU8

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNv0aWxOGL

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD51ffEBImu

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1v5UaZGkh

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JL88UjwPR

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg77avDC7bR

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny7QC3cR8H

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MRsDsSD3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOn6zSMdZj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0YBrhlxl4

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCNKFbOB3

"...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?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVrdGex5A2

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0WXyAEOku

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dYnoqLw8A

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnyQq2SC0s

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him without blinking once.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6sWTLmGCp

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHFJaLl71E

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXG82xiFmW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9591UFw76x

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1XDaVlsPO

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuem5AwBR9

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWMftRoA0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdNTGqVesq

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPWTff6CtX

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAusuReVvBS

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l77bkiIiq

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWut7PraAKA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Fuod1NMT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQgpgBAXv6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErngzDg6PP

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnL1bLZixn

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt9CONdE2Q

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sn0ALbHqx

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohFYecnzJ9

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaIRN7ebbF

He said he was looking. Riegrow.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8CjKvPImr

Suddenly his heart ached.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB5Q5cJ0ct

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3eUlgzpha

He's looking for him.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh1Uln3KOb

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyomaWg6pm

"Uh..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTweplJ6Ix

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBiYQTPFkN

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pvnz2zrNF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUpwG2q34l

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mz9eCK292

What should I do to get out?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mprEE3jTD

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvrOAruLVQ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECJcCUFQRz

"It must be hard."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgD1HdE0yo

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUWymOmduL

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dG2vn15Uc

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn7mrZYBa9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2adnY41lC

"Do you want to get out of here?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgp5LOASbC

Jeong Tae-ui did not answer his low question.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQloXtKHd2H

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRp0u0fFCm

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf5ALFEoXB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTSKcS9HBi

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP6SWDGfqk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0WDPKfon4

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu57Ypn5SXT

Jeong Tae-ui glanced at Jeong Jae-ui.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu8V94sBVU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKgedqoR2K

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXkei8jDJt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPlwR6r7ji

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6piQRvJtkH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq7rIUm5sr

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTNZAKeaqT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas6ieIZCKh

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd8pTtr77m

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZBFwhBnv

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN0XGxrDMj

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOR73rBeiw

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC7yCYLM8P

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ElJWwiFg

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OUDb5KwsU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy21myxx6Y

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmkdeErgQA

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSfJqz4OXT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTtIAVT5L0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lt2FQNJ6S

"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?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8oaDtTyNU

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?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHsE86UVPA

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fQzB2U4Ix

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIUumGVgra

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsrP9s5LCE

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAHEt3cxLT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ZvJEnedE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5MZLSyMXG

"It's the complete opposite of someone."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKHV4InUd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkDy6XV3ou

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEAAeELJHG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3NsjRjhw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChL0WDX8o9

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfilXzXwF0Q

Still, I should go out.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Mr16d6ZT

That's what he thought.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU6cpaQ1ov

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiAKguwokv

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8yaMCN4DZ

"Who's the opposite?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HCXp7vEUA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaM2LOwxHu

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6tSZlmiFO

Jeong Jae-ui nodded.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rn5CSARXP

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYDwZAIeJD

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3zyfT1Wht

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38XJP6l0dX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy6EbQlYAo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi3xEqP0oE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlgVeGRfS

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmHcOiSM7R

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7a7CCA4lK

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rtxEW8oBJ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoTjciS5kM

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcR10zcA3i

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO4uMlnN7B

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQkzrbWaU

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrKLrKnyYW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUOYrvS91g

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuojrxP3sYc

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTylhyuxWh5

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.......

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCffQaCdF7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM0c6Je5qc

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWULGph8oal

"Huh? Why?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs34DtdlTs

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kerFIYr4B

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY8AUS2Q4b

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyoFikJH1X

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J8a5BnijT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbSpkkqpbE

Jeong Tae-ui knew the hand.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy925Gv4asM

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0gwVVuJ4j

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ncBtAKNF

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav24BJ84xt

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY82Qd1sOL

He has been thinking about weird things.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zhg31U69I

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh4LeB9vZr

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS5PY4BRDj

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly muttered to himself.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cWLaaunXb

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsd6LQZbMP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP2U0sU7Ss

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZGHDN7i1S

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP6AGvjSTM

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.)

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOvFY15SSp

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuizlb0ukt5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwdsgV8Ub

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OATIrFNuF

Come to think of that.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeZLMMhKZx

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXgKruinMZ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQip9FWmX7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUfym64bcG

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyycv43e3jD

Jeong Tae-ui frowned.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ff5xiIr7R

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1T6m0Fc83

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ul5AJmVvI

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW4YjlKCDS

"Why don't I wear shoes?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXyLd14Vkw

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjpSyFgq7P

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c5Hkk3YN9

"What did he say to you?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UgN8trnKE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4NKexZebV

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k4195Bml9

But.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBvUY9DAHB

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUukzIuNGTc

"......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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6m3HiaoYN

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJKng5iVP2

Jeong Tae-ui frowned strangely.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTkwTcLAGX

"He comes every day."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxTJtcp0iG

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrs0S34QPZ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynicx3Daxn

Jeong Tae-ui stared at Jeong Jae-ui.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUost3rHYC

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTnFshz2lv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoR8g0RWNW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi2lTn5UEt

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpcln1N1om

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqeow8qUoz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJnJsAyLs

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vOoUhEQQ3

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESaHEtJkjW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeZHw4kUAc

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rgrs5Zm8O

Jeong Tae-ui muttered, "Ha!"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49RXsphBPT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78S4Tt2g7d

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnH1Pnqb3z

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6HSNHwMlt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoOflnDtdH

"Do you want to go out?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukP5mMFxRI

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ067B2wJawX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg0q6lYlsx

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX3ZXSEIhf

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchI1kDiJMX

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr9NQL5q6R

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpfphLzj6y

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoy4VJeaFa

"I don't mind going back alone."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFJXtvWVBA

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnH7TVZUkO

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqg4er4xu

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLNuDKiDQ3

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.....

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RWUDCVbR1

***

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYjKUP53HY

He woke up from a deep sleep.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2UUfraHG0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeixe5d6xCT

"Ilay..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1d9aN9YnW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcmsNYWcjM

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8zrbEzb6E

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3xLVZrpH9

Jeong Tae-ui looked down at his hand.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp4Jp93R4u

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXZlTz9BNf

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVFpDc6DtD

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq5PX6aVcq

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLl9fdJNTa

"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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7IZNOd7ho

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROUAavmojc

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK7oA300VZ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBEYtJWuRR

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLUeekGi3w

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgZkGkVyuy

Jeong Tae-ui breathed out a quiet breath again.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R92jW7MaT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCiLYjbqjq

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoObU8D75U

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwHZOXAVW5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWLY8g8Ks

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci2aWQ3MaR

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZuEZaksOk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gtJog2GEd

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiNZ7H1eWA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSngNqdcDi

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFft2qqJJfU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxThtfRe5Sd

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MwvomSJYp

Jeong Tae-ui grinned and muttered.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYlwR6umUv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQNDH7Y503

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oVgTYTgca

"Where was that?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgwZN1rX7u

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVftC85VVjt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpNtPszG0N

"You might know."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm99k3ub5Qw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa3TmrGzmC

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMvMuhA9fv

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiszTxem8pL

Next to it, there was a backside.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsikihjQ5O

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQLVxD1Bil

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH5HOBYry5

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgLlly3bwP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qRiaiOsdB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9wBNY7rL6

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EtYpWeqQs

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBc0DC34f5

Jeong Tae-ui paused again.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5HkivREd0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Eluj6VPjs

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSxpsNlgsg

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIq5cPnRfY

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRp9Tban6R

"It was unconscious."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARnUDG4c4p

"Well."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYqsZgr4OD

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL51MzRgno

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxS4NdjUvn

"Huh? I'm not."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKPApcbqSz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3XfxXOppV

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1TNuoNHst

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGZt0c8fJW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTDXHehb7C

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJISFoLXmv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPTmvmDVdf

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAvLSuPJ99

"No, the meteor shower I mentioned earlier."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk8HUiWcvV

"Oh......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoVCnTgpQX

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukcNlySSxA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz7693TL1y

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2edAgjJtTX

Jeong Tae-ui grinned and muttered.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcW22b1iCU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyG673Pb0E

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0IRUaR6ny

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTqmoZi9Tn

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9caYcBpOT

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BPeA09i93

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQEZMhMGDz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqD1Mlwaky

"Gangwon-do."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFcrfEYpZD

"Huh?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbSEpoQbq4

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ598xwFALjb

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJvqxLK6q3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPrRpwrKJB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZyuvsJ2fP

"You are...."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOimhEK3Lsz

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzeD7QcQRA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksGy2048rJ

"......Did you?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXnLsYVa0X

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoftVqLHrK

There was silence for a while.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqCSAEbiQx

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDt3VH9XAx

"I think my brother brought me luck."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuKdE7QR2C

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXxHR4Sl8t

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2TtbsXuig

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqossNkfYd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYxaEGAKH2

"Without you, I'll die."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgpESiijK3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0dq4zJwFS

He can hear a quiet laugh for a moment.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3SMsVUb1N

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnFO9peZo5

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7K2H9dm6i

Jeong Tae-ui frowned and murmured.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHI5PYBxj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy2hJlaLJk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FmPShxWbF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUPd3TV7XB

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sRUTVSz5p

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS9bEhiihL

"Was it unfair?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9szbBVDa1

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFIW6FON2S

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCwXRgQr4x

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao75D4W4V4

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3br4BW0o3e

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC0XKWSRZX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tBqVxvG3g

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GO55deOgf

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplisGyN4ez

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC1IlbQ9NO

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR7S8Qp5Ra

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzoiNjmQoW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnwVSoPU3Y

"Was that the day you were kidnapped?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidLHJQjZXg

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwmbopni2x

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPJKUBvCX3

There was no answer for a while.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmU2991gJN

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ4eE2mqwz

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvgduPjIKk

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOS6rqJb2S

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3sdf2QUxw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHBD1BMPVq

So maybe it was that day.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63J6HWaWUI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJNgFkYX74

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijpiqMtgey

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTUG4QQqr3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJq2ma5VUF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjW1f3WgTv

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmB0Lt5489

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BRMDexcJf

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjVorELaz8

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzyIyHb0AP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBounhfL3e

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe5lhFMSfC

But if.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnPdIRYvPP

If one thing, his story is true.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHRP4FyTa3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDOTQJte3U

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRnh3LoQWA

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqFwfAqZ1u

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZtnhVncK

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWho3xUGsa7

A self-contained voice talking.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdhcx36mKS

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGZjRxLFIK

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafavc6J4WA

"...?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHBCmwDus

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulQqTvCaG4

Jeong Tae-ui grumbled disapprovingly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDQn8usRY1

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbccFIhOf5l

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rm259LD7Q

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPd6Ea217T

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUrZpq6bwT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgubNT9qMx

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwuikoFvg7

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5FY1adifH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7yOkk1FEk

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70P0WGbAih

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgnKKVXXPW

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpKhvg4M4N

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIC1a4KJzd

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcj1nkNCHl

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ecHMg5XRw

The symbol is faith.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAXCNBIHHU

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddKTCfPdxU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuysiw0yggM

"...."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6IoI9RyDy

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk75Sxd7XbE

You know you are mine.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1wvYoUgBA

That soft, warm voice.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetAu2QYBuf

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE66U1gi6Uo

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4II01EjDho

"What is it, Tae-ui?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9d7F1oXRr

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9FkkecVnc

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1HXKRgY1B

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOBW1ANUOF

It was then.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi5EfFEmRf

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnrdKeNNi1

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqfhgzS8Hy

In an instant, his heart became cold.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka1nwo9CHd

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcm90zc3js

...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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp2WV5uOEt

"...?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohS87xBAA0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSn1Z27Sfp

"Why is that? Tae-ui."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZImDQ9B5mF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gQv0kcCTe

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6FzGXwiBl

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndQEw8vuYb

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvHs5HClAI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZOi9sJTrf

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FUDVXkYHa

***

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveL3Mcmc63

You are mine.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjrWobJW8E

He thought of some thoughts.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZeIZC5Co8

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6du6CtqtG

"I'm not Ilay's."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpIeZ3L8JT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpY2eZOGxQ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J1dHiNsz2

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mBb1yGFZ8

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrVtMI35p7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SYGXSM1Lx

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4EhNfHaWm

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hdFtKLN7D

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugKH90mSF0

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head sharply.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96AQc5mio4

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOh8VsBTm2

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgTFxuFcjN

How are you doing now?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUy9Cf4L4m

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9YwI5uQhv

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fjOF8f9VE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsmTcVBRgb

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqgv1CSpfC

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mYVpIKKEM

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0NrXCsPlv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeCdBYPd6l

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ddtkYfa26

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoeGF6krmm

"......"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLPgPv52kY

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8h8TeeB8S

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOeynrQxfv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq52kTJ3izn

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpr9rMMSiT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Zqjw0dtK

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQCIpXocwn

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...

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWYY29tTW

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs4xwKWyRI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR3lvC0QwU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhijFwwci7v

That is, the farthest from the gate.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjl9dtYnXt

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUFAXqS8oy

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipkPk1HZsC

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKpHSaBX2o

That was accurate.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1v5jpdknk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyTr8lNtk2

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9QdcVwBvJ

In addition.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vz6gcZpJI

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmmlveNIQK

Jeong Tae-ui muttered and picked his hand.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVHvEdLlku

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybDDWHDuU

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowgVyi7zXY

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX88B3nV9P

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlNl0wCC1B

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkG8lpF6vk

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSnZW94zJ6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM2Tq4Z6KD

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByyon0siDz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWe7CLKbgn

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsI2Ux4kvu

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQREmnzGgyu

Should I give it a try?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52OJuWC96q

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBEOQOTDE0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylmS465Da6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpykTTsW89

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgTCXN5hpj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GZOsBZuHP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9zkY7b4k

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jo02Jr0pS

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAQWrEGGhV

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLiP04fbuP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrKlBtxcNz

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLID1kQYXc

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuf6QDH1Do

"I wish you'd let me out."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEvlBpueI9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Eu65gWp9

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqnanq1dVp

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBEOUCMpHQ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LOYmAq3BH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL8IKgLiTw

Oh, he is an actor who learns something.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB5WSuGbs1

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPMvrIUkJG

"It hurts!"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvvWvEGOVB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa8bdmor2g

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFLwdzjpR5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCWUghZQd0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEmvCDcL3J

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCTRzfMzAm

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GtWraVU2Z

"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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR6K7FQQ4L

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH5rtifvvh

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOGzpHwHTj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBbRR7qZ8W

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAOJ5m5iLC

Ilay.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7inIoRk3WG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2nabOOxrv

Suddenly, his heart throbbed.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJaYurPZGj

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcgi2hhemS

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMY6jcyuA8

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kl2BpMmYo

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRGviF4MDJ

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.....

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b5ifYfSho

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlzn5bFbja

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN1P90h67d

Pick it up. Pick it up.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBkrHMHcPV

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HoyO4sAQF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa06M9H8H0c

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s9yVmojc6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LUPFr8cWt

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzcgn4xjN1

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lo9F6QmGH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWVtrWpPeI

".....Tae-ui?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOVwa8KRGJ

A low, slow voice.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawcazljae0

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6fkx2nXg

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBrVXKlNXt

"Where are you now?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxQ4Xa8WD9

"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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLfFUyOIh2

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2AAeWnC0E

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNULuCmS79l

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhqnuUZcip

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25v2wyLg7u

"Uh......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhBKhaRptD

What shall I do?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AsR400rc9

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFueCmtonY

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B1HJnamEW

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxKroug0U

What was that? That means.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthiAhwRsEw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVPKVUf2UY

"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!"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eFvw3YsUQ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0t72HEVw9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj3u5Zaob5

"Hey, maybe I like you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3KKLb6ISH

Oh, this isn't it.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yzb2biF3P

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zy9otYCjI

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnf5X0Jqei

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiagnCDUtMb

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqpljPOKvN

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJm1d7TwdP

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2HiDVul3E

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU86JWO3DN6

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qlmMYel7L

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGO7hIXLuX

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc0hjR6JRx

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfxDzal5dY

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwqGHSxdM3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG3ldb7GNy

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi3Ma1b32x

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoehDD0LEqD

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW5N7nFDKY

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9I5Bz3Pd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXQe8YW46S

Jeong Tae-ui shut up for a moment.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrlTL1sqO6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrZn3xfw3r

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBiIcPKYSR

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PiznmPcAD

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfRDYJxCs3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKIeF2Ax5G

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnnbV7sGuK

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGREfYvyga2

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4giI74xRhF

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzTTgY1EOQ

"What..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhRXt4983s

Jeong Tae-ui lost his words along the way.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdaCwopZpf

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qYK0k9vKe

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtB1vhF2b5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7i9NrCajf

"Damn it."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKnHxEbH9M

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX4TtpQPgl

"TAE-UI? What are you doing?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSHvrYzIjJ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEW1WYbkL6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH1VhZ6vCo

Bang!

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1h7kOxwIQ

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xppBzLJoI

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vf97stuEy

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkjHQjVZse

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDBJFvL9p7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTizUvS2Ix

Jeong Tae-ui thought nervously.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoChpvtHO5F

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL0t41uDMi

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoDmv2A26G

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28gyQQujhz

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHa7BeDc1Y

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwIu37JzE8

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.......

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKrRoBTDoP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNZGsQ3sdC

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTe4ztO0VT

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuut76Ujfzn

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGejVNya1ZE

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTUqxFfFyU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2yoUb0Q37

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fcF3BVJVT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEMQRPhLUd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04aQgKJ4xu

***

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gBG4PeS4n

Jeong Tae-ui sighed looking in the mirror.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJNtH3f4Wo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWlUXkKZh7

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCGegreZNx

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKulq85vDkR

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ADGOXT6bD

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTXXeIgDAs

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMDAS6o0i9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFB92yWIDo

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?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6YPWCkiTy

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZuqR3NhFu

Jeong Tae-ui groaned while applying medicine. It's been a few days since he got hit like that, and it still hurts.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxvOhnzaUE

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH1EVSrP5P

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KOybqRH6O

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95DVnDyF80

"Is my face swollen a lot?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl4xhJlFSy

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWnnF4IPNr

"Tae-ui. When you were on vacation, you fought with your colleague named Kim So-wi."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90SwBsMb7d

"Oh? Oh, there was."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaZRC3BXck

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6HvPIxIBS

"You're more swollen than then."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAImwbmg8d

"....... I'm scared to look in the mirror."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8kY5ficKG

Jeong Tae-ui slowly rubbed his face and muttered "aya, aya." and ate.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5AlEGd56Y

And when he came back to his room and saw his face, it was very colorful.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzKWWh27W9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOumE066Z3k

"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....."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlFTWJVLDD

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWB4MXzhcm

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aJcx07zOk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFK01M7vX7

It's Raman.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti6RTDO9ng

When he tucked his head into the room and looked at the clock, it was time for him to come.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdtOyKgfz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNV1kavTXg

Raman stopped by the annex every day.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf14gcydVT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWR7L9e7d5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrJWHPbIWL

"I think I can memorize everything without making a mistake."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqEnJzZN6w

Jeong Tae-ui sat under a tree, raising his head and muttering while looking at the leaves.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePvukXOySW

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGmawYsbPr

"Don't you feel uncomfortable staying here without getting out of here?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ5at83EjD

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.''

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfX6wa1JRF

"No, thank you. Thanks to your careful consideration, there's nothing uncomfortable about it."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZG9o66cBu

Jeong Jae-ui's quiet voice follows.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnK1cnEbjo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw8bUAMRyY

Indeed, Raman's voice was briefly interrupted.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXdTpv9RkB

Jeong Tae-ui laughed quietly, thinking that he might have a troubled face.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcicaUz8SgX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLT0A79W86

But...

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QIADnQkhA

"But I'm glad he's polite for now."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMT3XVsZbG

Jeong Tae-ui murmured quietly in his mouth.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa78evQ8qha

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvLGHtx4Zg

However, he treated Jeong Jae-ui with the utmost courtesy and courtesy.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3S6rg6mjF

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)

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCLjfaObz

But is it urgent to develop the weapon?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeadWg8aaG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuc5eIMcIo

"......Please let me know if you change your mind at any time. Until then, please be comfortable. Do you need anything?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7DQed2Gqr

The usual conversation continued in the study. Now, the formal conversation has come to an end.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmdHyKLi61

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnWhE6zjwD

My brother is strong in his own way.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJlynTJjZK

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxENr1b3GIv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u8oC26vIS

Suddenly, Jeong Tae-ui patted his cheek and bit his tongue bitterly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcil9oUN7CD

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBhGj9Id3f

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYGmf3WM01

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbooOG1wqA

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VrrOXe9M4

"I don't know the whole system of thinking in this country......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8agKekOSe

Jeong Tae-ui sighed.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNns9Iqzx

Anyway, it was perfect to accept Jeong Jae-ui as a valuable guest.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgCkZCzA6O

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHLdXeBpsx

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteGIiH8i0X

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?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeNYmNFxni

......If he needs a phone call...Even if it's him, it won't work.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMG6L6qOAp

Jeong Tae-ui sighed.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWROY9EmZI

He was beaten up a little too much for a minute or two at the most.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIZzTVzxOX

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjEV2HzD4

Jeong Tae-ui felt awkward and scratched his neck.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mc9J1WmFL

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoNxmkP0dn

Do you like me?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqzcjnlNkR

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEAecurLij

What kind of reaction did he have when he heard that?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk61EX3Fl5

It was a bit disappointing. He wanted to see the face in person. Then Jeong Tae-ui might have learned more from the reaction.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeyYDxqHSr

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvNa6bepA3

Jeong Tae-ui tore his hair out.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkP1cKz3an

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp22eSKwozw

......Then the situation was entering a more frightening phase.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1pb2IUVeV

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWLMnJh3lB

How much longer do I have to stay here?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0aNcmYIxK

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM47MIm6jKX

"It's almost time to go......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz4tsQQ3YJ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4HEP90Ptf

".......Don't you want to get out of here?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfTCl5qNfg

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?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZDHgEjPsJ

He didn't think there was a sign like that.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSdGzLbdh6

"Thanks to you, I'm comfortable, so I'm fine."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t9JL5uqLv

Jae-ui also gives a similar answer as before. As for Raman, he continued a little slower.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSGFqGmaMF

"I'm sure it'll be less lonely after your brother comes. Do you get along very well?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4bpyR5QEV

"Yeah, well….thanks to you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILmWi6SZCa

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfKow4iga

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EU4DuM1lU

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsEkYLSEYT

Jeong Tae-ui hesitated, frowning, and slowing down.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7GqCJAVwQ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCbQTbuUZf

However, Jeong Tae-ui walked as slowly as possible because it would be more awkward if he stopped and confronted him.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgdZhitsQu

"They said you spoke to Riegrow on the phone."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw4a3xm7Hy

"If it's not in Seringue......"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw7rcAbBM3

Raman opened his mouth. At the signal, Jeong Tae-ui stopped walking.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppWiBopaHa

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GU47gvdni

"I thought you said it's no use asking for help from the outside, but you've done something useless."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUFdLd66Nr

"...What...Just hearing my friend's voice after a long time gives me energy."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPkUXZI5TN

Jeong Tae-ui said with a calm smile while counting how many parts are in his own words. His "friend" Ilay gives him "energy".

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM9UOHXL9k

Raman raised his eyebrows. Then he pretended to think for a moment and opened his mouth.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84WHBPPB5E

"Friends. I see. I think it was Ilay Riegrow and Ling Shinru. Coming to Seringue with you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs5T1282SF

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC1tCNHAvM

"They are no longer in Seringue."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT9EeukFhH

Raman said calmly. And at the end of the word, Jeong Tae-ui's expression briefly disappeared from his face.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoWFRvBRmX

For a moment, he thought he misunderstood English. He obviously said, "They are no longer in Seringue."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyFlQnv2v7

Jeong Tae-ui frowned slightly. He couldn't understand the word at first glance, so he tilted his head for a moment.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9pe7QnNID

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT7zaDQldY

"If it's not in Seringue......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2VBqJjWNy

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYebWTOYlY3

It didn't seem like a lie....If then.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDKnYD5vnw

"Did you use your hands?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFHfNFaBut

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD1rsd2oYx

"What? What?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4D957S3SC

Jeong Tae-ui stared at him blankly, blinking his eyes.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxp1NMvdJe

A smile-like expression flashed over Raman's face, which was talking indifferently. The cool smile penetrates Jeong Tae-ui's heart.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Gbdn6CeI

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSHYmBCxr

In a subtle tone, he sounded like he knew something more, but he didn't seem to want to talk anymore.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KOfzpHTH1

"No, uh......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjQny9P9y

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWGYUOBNPI

They're no longer in Seringue.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmbOojDmzo

I heard that Ling Shinru was hurt quite badly and went to a dangerous level.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxpw5b5zkp

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5QKXw5Mb1

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMkzqAtbIF

But.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3h5Iue3y

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHJvJSoJAi

Raman hated Jeong Tae-ui very much. Maybe it's close to hatred. But why?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01UJciQ54D

But now, that sort of thing didn't matter.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bWRU2Jphs

"I have to...I have to get out."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DzgkH5aMK

Jeong Tae-ui murmured in a bewildering manner. Raman looked silently at his expressionless face.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYbaHtEKPJ

His eyes narrowed with satisfaction, and he said calmly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF6QM77ALm

"I'm sorry about that. I can't let you do that."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK4nJIWKOD

***

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvxZHCiVgV

In fact, if he thinks about it, it was already late, and it could have been new.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qIQgasDE0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJOjlR9X74

Nevertheless.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1U3bqwPx4

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?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiQpZSN0dj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg2W5ega3f

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVWxfdBAmH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrfHf36XFn

A disordered mind appeared at the fingertips. The fingers rubbing the lips were nervously strained.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMfRrjNjiZ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGi4wWBcYW

However, the fact that he doesn't know when he can go out made him feel anxious.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95T06slvr

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg45ygRfYT

......please.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIeiTjLHSP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6p0ecKpsh

"Calm down, Jeong Tae-ui. You know that. There's no way to be agitated. Calm down."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMlTeT6A5N

He tapped on his chest. On his heart, tap it a little hard. However, the idea of burning the heart black did not stop.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS9hRj1Hjf

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxyjtHJYI3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dlv1ErNpX

"I'm telling you, you have to get your act together, Jeong Tae-ui. Calm down."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnKnGCPjbU

Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1JKXq7Uga

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQVhqfGEK9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzcucKw3eI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEeJZAROGJ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxVJURAau7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyAL6RTSQi

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3otDs3w3ig

Jeong Tae-ui stared at him.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbNf3r1I9N

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3hhscIBgN

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5kyG66Gfo

It was not long before the sun went down. As soon as the sun went by as fast as the fingernails, it became dark.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqCz2R6KQA

Someone went in beyond the fence, and the birds dispersed.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpz3AiFG2F

There was only the sky, which had turned purple and gradually darkened, and the sky was turning deeper and deeper and deeper.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS9sSLuAxt

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGQELLKSW6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ482cVDku

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCBrIfansp

"The barber..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTst1GiplQJ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJmQyGxUEf

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIcd455uRb

"Yes, that's right.......I don't know if I shouldn't have called you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zNGF6H4rd

Jeong Jae-ui murmured quietly. Jeong Tae-ui shrugged his shoulders as he watched him closely.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEafg1yLrZe

"You don't want to cut it anymore? Then I'll cut my hair. I thought it was annoying because my bangs came down."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VZBoab1m1

"That's not true...."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EGkbdgzhd

Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth and stopped talking. And then he looked at Jeong Tae-ui.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOisnomWX0F

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfiEiDiFOM

"......?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBseRJsUKK7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV1pUrj52r

"......Why. Tell me."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwlxRztBsO

"Shall we go out, Tae-ui?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXZsrUTqE1

When Jeong Tae-ui nodded and opened his mouth first, Jeong Jae-ui spoke quietly without hesitation.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzDvLp5Pe6

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nZzFCSkqe

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZbV6gjHdc

".......Do you want to go out?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoMX958Rn2

Jeong Tae-ui thought for a while and asked him back without answering. Jeong Jae-ui murmured, "Well, I don't know."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EteZZrYCi

"I've never wanted to go out, but I've never wanted to stay here."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv7HCbpaJf

"Well….then shall we go out?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueLThBMjvo

"If you wish."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCztxU3o98

His answer was concise. Jeong Tae-ui stared at him, and at some point, he slightly frowned and scratched his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttKVHt65pN

"It's good to go out, but how are you going to go out?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLdAmfPwVP

"Well......somehow."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTya1af7a3

Jeong Jae-ui did not show much concern. While staring blankly at him, Jeong Tae-ui smiled.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE96dpajphg

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHMt6yQAc3

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS9qoeiR4D

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ0pf5Oh24

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with a sigh of laughter.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJX103qWyq

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoqmi8clps

"Are you going to make a weapon?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznmgGnNaRx

Jeong Tae-ui asked quietly. Jeong Jae-ui did not answer. He just looked at him.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5HLxm3jBP

Jeong Tae-ui smiled calmly. A quiet sigh is mixed in the laughing breath.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyeFm6bn6G

"If it's because of me that you want to go out. Doing something you don't want. You don't have to."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIeozdsUyS

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu4WJ2OArH

Jeong Tae-ui frowned slightly because he could not understand the meaning of the subtle gaze. Then Jeong Jae-ui sighed silently.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJEstoyC4r

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYarePFuxr

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with a strange face. For a while, he just blinked and stared at him blankly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGCkcH02Mo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1HXvORcoS

Jeong Jae-ui, who was looking at Jeong Tae-ui's strange face, quietly added a word.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgFQecWhtk

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7WkEuOlB3

".......But the truth is, I don't want to make a weapon."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFNmEueSg3

"If you don't care, I'm fine. I just didn't want to because you wouldn't like it."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZymeKawn1

"...um...Obviously, I don't like making weapons. But you know......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU6w00nkLJ

Jeong Tae-ui frowned. Before he knew it, Jeong Tae-ui murmured helplessly, rubbing his fingertips between his wrinkled brows.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZHrp0SJYt

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAQz2vljPt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPby8wAUi3

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly shut up. His heart shrank numbly. When was it? Who said it?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiJgAujABt

Is it that Jeong Jae-ui suffers more anxiety and anguish than you do? That's human.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Tn5pekd0

Yeah, it was Ilay.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd096FyRAql

Maybe he saw Jeong Tae-ui from the outside, that he couldn't see from his seat.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RQWjEx4wW

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5fJWToEcB

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTs2MaJvHH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOuw1DN30K

It was an aspect that only he had to endure, which others could not touch. So he was sad.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHukWXl2AAc

But.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHQeAMnUM

He was satisfied with the position. It was the most appropriate seat from Jae-ui.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9hlnOhQku

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ISxVJispm

"If it's you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwB3PQZRbG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8VpwOIOQ2

"If you're in my place. Then you'll make a weapon and get out of here."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFVB9xj6S9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2O2lnRooN

***

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPyi9mzrVs

Should we go out, Tae-ui?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7AuGJGrnR

"Uh...Yeah......"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0tWymVZC

It was only after Jeong Tae-ui answered that way that he realized that he was alone there.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUdpOqXoQZ

It was a bedroom.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm34mi5FCE

"Huh...?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgm7qwS3t2

It was not until Jeong Tae-ui answered that he realized that he was alone there.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJIxvPgmlF

It was a bedroom.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS6ZjHA1dN

"Huh...?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUA8ogwxbQ

Jeong Tae-ui murmured blankly again. Huh? muttered for the third time, he turned his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH6KYdhXje

There was no one. Obviously, he heard a voice talking like that just a moment ago, but he was lying alone in the bedroom.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehDOQ3W2vn

Only then did he realize he had a dream. The dream he had just before he woke up was very vivid.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRsKA1isVu

"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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBJldaKYRL

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLmSe7L8sb

He slowly passed the water to his throat and drank three or four sips, and he came to his senses a little.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZeymjWauB

And only then did Jeong Tae-ui remember that the voice he heard in his dream a while ago was not just a dream.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H2BsLuASE

Should we go out, Tae-ui?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GST2fQA5u

As it is said, Jeong Jae-ui told Jeong Tae-ui without a single mistake.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q2cm7H4Qm

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbJo7QzDUT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J8r3LNWNO

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrKL3FCNww

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQV9dGBaUk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCO77MCvPJ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRukhfP22Eu

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXsjbhROM5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKoy3Kxl0m

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMWBzqHu60

Perhaps because he heard Jeong Jae-ui's voice from his dream, his footsteps headed to his bedroom.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbyObZ7DK

He didn't have much to say, but he might as well get right on yesterday's topic.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoFAjb9JpN

"Hyung, I'm going in."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOIlEGn6R9

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT8mOCOVG2

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdkggz0FU3

"To put it mildly...."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZYsspsTzR

Jeong Tae-ui, who went into the bedroom muttering to himself, took a couple of steps and stopped.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDhJOnkF3H

The bed was empty.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGLB6fQXUN

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMc0fzVmfJ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQnRkt9SWG

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFaeRviAze

Jeong Tae-ui patted the cheek with his index finger and looked down at the empty bed. Then he snooped his head and turned.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJyCsN17Tm

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdWooLoojC

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TEzCuWgnL

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ncxbXD5uW

Jeong Tae-ui, who reached the study with a leisurely walk as if enjoying a walk in the morning, found Jeong Jae-ui there.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCdScauRiB

"There you are."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNrGIfbSHX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt9HVhyfyq

His voice somehow seems to be quieter than usual. His face as well as his voice was languid.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9BF3JcFtO

Jeong Tae-ui tilted his head and looked at his face, and slightly frowned.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjlEvvvfPx

"Didn't you sleep?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDmXyZZ5q

"Well......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7hnMvU5nj

Jeong Jae-ui murmured as if he were half-heartedly. Jeong Tae-ui approached him with a curious tilt of his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnZ2YH54o3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusEQIliVjD

However, this was never the case in this detached house.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyL3YOtdh7

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.......

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLr0uI29jf

"What kept you up all night again? Did you have anything to focus on?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNBd2v83cD

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxax7TzjNTs

However, when Jeong Jae-ui saw dozens of papers spread out on the desk, Jeong Tae-ui closed his mouth.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vb5Hrm6p7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdlpiD86gc

"This is..."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYib3CZWtX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPHVi8oBeM

"Did you stay up all night for this yesterday?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk67IfSsnL

Jeong Tae-ui picked up the most precisely drawn paper among the paintings and murmured.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL4WaN7xY5

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF2XjG9Ac6

Soon, however, Jeong Tae-ui tilted his head slightly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2y045PQhO

No, maybe it's not an anti-tank gun. The picture was different from the anti-tank gun he knew.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjeThal4xo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhngCOEH4Yr

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLruqbNE8LG

"Well....it's over with a little more work. Hold on a second. I want to finish it before breakfast."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiKs2URj8i

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmsel8A7ku

"Hyung....You are a genius....."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrOZRxONkX

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQLbfkBbpQ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS4hmJJkoR

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VwzjkemVt

"......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx7IdMHBT7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHns1tkRqK

Shall we go out, Tae-ui?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzZQSwlSej

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm1g39IUts

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWSM6qHGIk

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63VdDFgzVW

The word is clearly the true meaning of Jeong Jae-ui.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HvKy0M3dj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6A5oTsw2r

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7icaS9VVT9

".......It's unique and wonderful in appearance......That thing, can it actually shoot?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKg0SgUEoB

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86AbVpfbAm

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqWZk3ex9M

Jeong Jae-ui picked up the paper that he had just taken notes on and looked over it.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEiJ2iJHxT

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BgRww9HB9

"What?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCwOgPbmh4

Jeong Tae-ui frowned. He stood up from his seat and strode to him. And he looked over his shoulder into the picture.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKKkzey4U8

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN9QbOLsXb

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF2QIvcYOv

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzv63X9WFS

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33e3AnGfuS

Jeong Tae-ui looked at his back blankly, shook his head excitedly, and followed him.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNeYWRhgDR

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjdOpOXRKe

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIYLGCLcA4

"Well, that's worth looking for in the machine. He'd like to kidnap and imprison you."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNVDGinUd3

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and muttered.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLILiaFeZc

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZZMtlXMOo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9dCcwyocH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYaSIML6yZ

"Why don't you get some sleep. Aren't you tired?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqoQtdX9fF

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdndUSXQAjL

Jeong Tae-ui slowed down a little. He asks him with a frown.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLCEdYM4O6

"I can't believe we will leave right away. This morning?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZozGLSUCbz

Then, Jeong Jae-ui looked at Jeong Tae-ui as if he were strange.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m8HbhHBTM

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvFHvvRJfg

Jeong Jae-ui, who spoke plainly, began to tidy up as soon as he entered the study.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7bl8XCPZ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5HLyqyEk1

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz3yAKQrJO

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsGBVwNOaa

He didn't know he was so good in action, but it was like that before that the decision was made quickly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWJrf4tWPM

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvKimLLn05

The attic, the drawer closed, and the arrangement was over. Wait, there was silence in the study.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFrAluu3UG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU5f4523LJ

Jeong Tae-ui looked around the ownerless study for a while and asked.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr3R1oml15

"In the room....In the bedroom, is there anything to pack?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13cWfB997y

He shook his head. "There's no stuff there either." he says.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3F0lEm1yd

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf7VuxGAj4

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD28T2D5kCu

Suddenly, he felt lighthearted.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CulKVI6x1

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

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWayBAhRQ5

Thinking about going out, he felt a little sad. But he wasn't disappointed. This wasn't their place to begin with.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPb2KWqeTu

"Well, then.......Wait. But the passport."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IJvvn4fUe

Jeong Tae-ui expressed a question that suddenly came to mind.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71JsYdmVaF

Jeong Jae-ui did not answer. Then he opens his eyes as if he remembered it and stares at Jeong Tae-ui.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHJBiyUh7

"......I don't have it."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEp46fB68Z

"I put it somewhere."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNyxJJeeYI

"I had it up to Varanasi, but I lost my mind and forgot it after I opened my eyes here."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW7a08ZClT

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat7OAkRthY

So he sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMLmEGXyCZ

"Raman will do it for you. He also said he would make enough compensation if I gave them weapons."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeapiq9ngrV

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cshUflsUF

"It's enough compensation for me....... I don't really need it. And it's annoying giving me something like heredity."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMUfoJlC9x

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9mRBKRCvG

"What did you get?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnLnUub9cL

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xKkiigtjt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i6RwNxr99

It's hereditary. It's definitely hereditary. The black gold that springs out of the Middle East.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7CSd0K3xm

".......You got it? To whom?

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4ApLFLl8

"Raman. It's not that big, but he gave it to me as it's pretty useful."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt6XrH1YKu

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kAGlSn1Hq

That's why he's so prejudiced against the guys with the diamond spoon in their mouths.....

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0PR94b7qG

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlbYDGHw1J

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLViYLtjYtz

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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NUOVaXtGa

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM51LC7ub8

Suddenly, his fingers twitched.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRA7n7RTy8

There's only one person in his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrnbiQSsFu

He's probably the first person to contact when he gets out of here.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0oguYaOeI

"......In the end, I can't fix my illness......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ2kul24ZK

Jeong Tae-ui murmured to himself. But he didn't feel so bad. Smirking, a smile circulated around his mouth.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtpxNgMsem

It was then.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFDGgTRVsK

From the end of the corridor, he could hear the sound of footsteps approaching this way. It's a heavy yet refreshing step.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcUyywyVaV

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Vk7lAZHR

"Good morning."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ500gCRzB

It was Raman who came in first with an obscene greeting. It was the same time as always.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62VBG9qRjQ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDrvrzHHbt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7xDByvsCt

"The brothers must have been having a friendly conversation."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkMg1tFzO3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XaGvHYY5T

"I don't know if I can get a good answer today."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQRbbYT3hQ

Raman said, taking a step closer to Jeong Jae-ui. As usual, Jeong Tae-ui felt somewhat resentful as he heard the sweet voice.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwRkL84YPz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT5xlqLK6G

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt44epnob6

It can't be helped now.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuis1dSD0O

Jeong Tae-ui's appetite became bitter. It's a bit of a blur on his face.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuoYajAWVa

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UMtgCRyXR

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rMNnlw6eo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEMb7F82Wx

Jeong Jae-ui picked up some of the papers he had left on the desk and held them out to him.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAgYbtpKdx

"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....."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ382RX0ZuPN

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE9sy6hPJF

But Raman wasn't looking at the paper.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqRgQPXU5E

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Q2Wso1sK

"......?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPhUoY5AqD

Jeong Tae-ui, who was looking at him sitting next to him in a window chair, frowned.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcPZd96SYv

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZarOpjp2xH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSPsEkMSnJ

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSydB6yp3vH

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT1jploTuz

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlBADORaSl

"I think you refused yesterday......did you finish this in one day?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6VCr7CE80

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4gfV7SbR2

"Oh, I had something in mind in the past, so I just fixed it up a little bit.......do you not like it?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQvakoBfMf

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkkjeS5hXz

"That's not true. Even for me as an outsider, I think there will be something very useful. It's great."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnjoJ8AAye

Raman spoke in an unpretentious tone. It was a finished product that could not be pretentious.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6CgmWbW3k

Jeong Jae-ui nodded with a smile.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAlTycWDEC

"That's a relief. I'm glad it helped."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVtSy5rd0R

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWisZK8UIU

Jeong Tae-ui stood up from his chair. And he took a step closer to them, exactly to the door beyond them.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppQRVuCBgH

"Let's go hyung...Thank you very much."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaFcUNq1JF

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqvz7rCcex

Jeong Tae-ui, who sincerely said thank you, stood at the door. And he waited for Jeong Jae-ui to come out.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oS7YDImzj

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajIPE8iyQj

"In the meantime, I've been comfortable thanks to you. I wish you good health until I see you again someday."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJUkId00dP

However, it was when Jeong Jae-ui, who greeted him like that, was about to walk away.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8WAA5FX2S

"Are you leaving right now? I don't think you need to go out so suddenly like this."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnlbHxIEu3

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0hjG7dpuy

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOOUgIq7cU

Raman shook his head and said softly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSdqzamNc

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqntXQUVfg8

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdrLUN2oH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5r1hqMIxi

It can be said that once, but twice, it had a clear intention.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB3Wkh81qr

He turned toward them and spoke slowly to Raman, who was turning his back on him.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5jPP2zeqi

"I feel like you're in the way....."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe9PtjorFm

"Oh, did I?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTDOqL7CV7

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrAA8U2WXx

"I was mistaken. I didn't know you could make this much stuff without this much difficulty."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMthLyexZeS

"To say that you thought wrong......?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqf8QOZ4RC

Jeong Jae-ui asked back quietly. However, Jeong Jae-ui's faintly frowned eyes already knew the answer.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV67ezHWwo5

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHMkgjd9tK

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlqRlT7QOf

"This is too much.......That's a different story."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWSZJp24n1

He said with a sigh.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG9HPAdkkH

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeehpzKt2en

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAuIr59w7w

Jeong Jae-ui remained silent for a while. He looked down at Raman's chest, and then he looked at him again.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ458qbg76o

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiywO8Nl9k6

But Raman laughed low. Shake his head slowly.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLB8VDz9hA

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRPzcwWpdX

Even before his words were over, Jeong Tae-ui sighed and shouted, "It seems like you were dumbfounded."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kSjSURWKY

"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?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvur75GMmAP

Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue, adding in his native language, "To match to which rhythm, you nobleman."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34u7b1oyq4

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wJyyKkO9h

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZVT3tctr

"I apologize for that. I was mistaken."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTKPVrkXiI

Raman shook his head unconcernedly against his words.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEthLH5AvGm

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPYzzasgfW

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5w8udZyIA

"Well, if you're a royal, shouldn't you keep your word?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIKEYT21RO

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbj4nzeicz

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA4UMYno3Q

Raman's brazenly nonchalant voice came over his shoulder. Once again, he's getting choked up.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH56MvEcZOB

This is why diamond spoons are no match for each other. That's why.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvPBQFAfTs

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5qog0x7F7

"......How can we get out of here?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrtROpgd1R

Jeong Jae-ui said after a moment's thought. Raman raised his eyebrows slightly. Soon he burst into a low laugh.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L6Q05wVfA

"Well, that's wise. Another way of suggesting......."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGcVdip7Gt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UaHGhZfix

After a while, Raman slowly opened his mouth. But what came out of his mouth was a disappointing answer.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdkToH6VA4

"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."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaWc3QnCAt

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4PxpRqiT0

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEZLWOeUQG

Jeong Tae-ui glanced at Raman passing by.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHwJAqeSyd

There was no expression on Raman's face. He couldn't even guess what he was thinking.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEaIXdkNGK

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91uiU4qNs3

Jeong Tae-ui sighed slowly. Scratching his head, he looked back. There stood a Jeong Jae-ui.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1dAV7ygOz

"....... He said he wouldn't let us go."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f7lb7wnCN

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZknAnidB

"I know.....What should we do?"

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa40aejV27c

His muttering words were more like talking to himself than seeking Jeong Tae-ui's opinion.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqit7H8oiji

Jeong Tae-ui sat down on the spot. Sitting on the ground in front of the door, he scratched his head.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ63XhPYlDm

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYQV97eXIm

"It's all right. we'll be able to get out."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW6TUhLmEI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtU1EzgUSo

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RbymbDN10

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYM4Jh8t3N

"Tell me if there's any way."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QHgE6s5W1

"No, there's no way......We'll be able to get out."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErkXeRbcee

Jeong Jae-ui shook his head excitedly and said seriously.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDPOMPRCOM

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...

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1CY9istYb

"......why."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbQzOZnchw

"Because you want to go out. Because I want to go out."

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih3B17qMIw

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESHPJ1Nfbv

It's time for this.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vi1024lCP

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcdCWs8ZPa

Nothing has been resolved. Still, they were trapped in this little paradise, and now the logical way out of it is completely gone.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtqcntkdJI

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.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjB1kHyH3O

Jeong Tae-ui saw Jeong Jae-ui with a face that still couldn't stop smiling even though he laughed for a long time.

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7utDuk7Fne

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.
