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....

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy8h2i9mK5

It was a dirty story everywhere.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ216zx6vG1x

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnlSfGupmJ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv25wgkPXVh

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKX8C2h2F

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVMmAwRTq1

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARyYXG70Bh

Jeong Tae-ui has been grumbling for a while.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzV3kEdB0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMWdEjJ7qL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD6NqCPR1w

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''.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqRJI09d9Y

......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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tGDjiFLn9

"Beer would be perfect."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeHdV80oIW

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFjKeVrbC7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD84QK7NNjQ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4pUX2w09O

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPUkdUT4lR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujbAhyufLR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb8h2Ou6ZQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7xzsKqMow

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdeHXc6zL7

Jeong Tae-ui muttered lazily.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYjJz4hQj3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciPBHewif4

"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.''

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT5IGGQH9Y

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8eq5kYZdf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAqIhm8gbF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTlbyPQVvQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmSAaITrzZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JiwKB4rNg

However, he shook his head.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BP1YTUmE3

"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..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPcYE1xa96

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1uLOIg0U9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMMTstMek3

"Why?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNUP09NEK1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8WgDQj9VS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPryIDaGFt

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTrwLTay8L

''Then what can I do?''

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7RadRNde7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA6qqTIgap

"What about you?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8XaeUdY8l

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxdavQy72c

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aU8tsPkAs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qB9Rql6Bd

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Z2fCHj4q

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCdFEhBZwy

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOpeFgrcOa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dthx3oQDv

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw1U43W05c

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCRyRyX5Dc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrUlEpy4m

"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.''

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo22CK5xrpo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuydIy4W8O

"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.''

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWVipdgvzK

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnYbeA24px

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HcNK50dYX

''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.''

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ZjRNr6Y4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0pOijEPvb

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RTLgQ9O6c

"Then what if I get trapped or tortured?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uRWRkQk1m

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaRU104hWS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPYbQvGfZF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE4x4u5vb5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY2XfwGotj

But his life comes first.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjgdOQOaGi

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aE4b2t9Zp

One day like that.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4RP5YfGsj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2tTwrzhZh

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0JzTlJq4J

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5CTzzQRj7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3kzd7sNAL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvYMPd2Yz0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4peAtzHzhL

"By the way, hyung."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW9m0o4CHO

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lO9H2knzq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjWBOktnNx

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaStvvEADp

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzkiGqavQN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgdod0DscN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcmOkCyQpi

"Do they want you to make a weapon?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gyaa0xtq3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpI0px1OhN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSvAL3CeIb

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy0t0eieh6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuXeMEs5m1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokX6L8xuaI

"That's you."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeYOj3R1p9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMatEz5G3t4

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8slfi2UiS

"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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcUUUIV82T

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPotQmn8K

Jeong Tae-ui murmured to himself.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPel04NXpk5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPOBeanyiP

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXEhCl9bf5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy9si0LRrE

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i1BMEz10V

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJn0Ec5seB

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tZM8v58xI

Jeong Tae-ui heard Jeong Jae-ui sigh.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CfVoeNas

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQNldtCfQC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRY3bKE0QK

"I will."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9wdWSIjIW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XO1l5hSC2

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp4BSc8PWf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zkVfZmGvt

"......Then who?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWW9lC6Gyz

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NBKBTSQjc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAhgdrsS6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNHffPjJVo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLtzAZ4iS3

Ilay Riegrow.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡburcJdzh37

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IW73rh6aa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaWPDIBqen

Then, should he come here to find me?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAioSODf4X6

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP7l371HpS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPnIzobH8

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Meu6Ywjs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1RexDJTl2

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxqSoT1ifI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnVJKAOO8X

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQsBhh830v

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4t7QXkepj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx3OXzoubg

"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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53pjy89T7M

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8vVkBCZli

Jeong Tae-ui slipped his hand awkwardly.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rFpa0nqvt

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.)

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXtnO9UH4h

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG03fGTlXU3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Bh4aJw03

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR0CtVHkA4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a8EOOrZzT

Of course. He has never seen him before.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokXHT2d1zV

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnphMUT471d

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRspMyshLan

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxjkDT6TZY

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGKe2Y5Nho

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWXmlRfYM

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8snh3XVtBq

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMXY9pGobm

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBgmQoAIgd

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeuZgJ1Yh8

"Who is this guy?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSaJueis4D

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCTHKnsuRI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcI5YXEG7w

Then, is it a watchman or security?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YMvzGGmQF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xh9Ik7y9o

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQh79d2yMZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboumYDhzsR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvzpBY1R34

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQJxKrD34U

"Raman. You came early."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3g1TJlYyb

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9QrYdb0qc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqN9GbXbzs

"This guy is..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrY88wYOlN

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMqJ5e8WKW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviCnbSaddd

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwYM6pud2F

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFIotql1WK

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlLtC4Zz4b

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF80UTN1sX

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rJrzvpWFQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmygx2jJLu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbvnEoNYX2

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiOj9FpYQY

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8N6qWDyfW

But.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuu1FJj42z

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGCL6Xudmg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduMyC49u6k

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljnEpSYtvc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2MqCnDVFH

"Have you considered accepting my offer?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lfca9FWbJ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAHg69AFxt

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ZNvAKjaN

"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.''

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqT8D10YDX

"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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgZ6Bjlbve

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8AKAnQn4z

He heard Jae-ui's answer.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawzvZGKhYm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvOwop4RkS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4uxiWZC6G

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP23kurSdr

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof6831I1CS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8AGNxxP8J

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBje77FQpjH

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aW2i16nx

There was a moment of silence.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu2VQ5bCXB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2OePGrLRy

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOccqxsv3q1

Jeong Jae-ui still nodded vaguely, without answering.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGNIKmOphe

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHEt1e8oO

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGrFkqcBsu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopsfGVVoly

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5nT5n1YEy

"Oh….me?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKGQkBdm2E

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEM3evXHL6

"How did you know this place?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVED6hibId

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Q3aYKzhy

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?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ePo2nC6qn

"I don't know where this is."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVFekfiVrS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc8QDwvKEs

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB99TkBkOg2

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22kFauMzUx

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdbJRkYxmh

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8SatwT1C6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk9m68mC4i

"Did you come to Seringue with your friends?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtNgiUHDhn

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgizEu1C4pE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriWf3Z40zt

It was only a matter of time anyway.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKWUTYtM7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndmUQ8dSsI

A companion. Gable and Ilay.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wfv6K82Pu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQtGGyCbVA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgNecRxhDP

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6DxeNWHtR

"How did you know he was in Seringue?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjljya8XyLC

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?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWWjSwII63

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9U0MXYtdW

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxuOHdZBZL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudbIyrLSgZ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjstq11W7gU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkZ6nkXOYj

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMG2DM5Nb0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISO9HkQ4nL

Then.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bKuwMDwrp

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQdl1oUEte

It was Jeong Jae-ui who spoke quietly.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppUKksdvnd

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQKIHCJXL3

It was just a calm voice telling its own facts.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIWTM6uyDI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2qtlRAWZj

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHj4CXjDhJ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxOYNuaYvB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U5vKZ3miS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SQnAD2iBt

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpVeGBEi16

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDenCudW6Vs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWhwcbSskm

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpedhV9Wo2O

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and muttered useless words.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdlTZqZKVm

"No, I can't die here."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYTZuLlJSA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAkkHOxEpe

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdE21Ru3px

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJjr4sj0IU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGduLNwDz2l

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcivy8pYVe

"It's my luck."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPP2Frh6xw

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0gtZGg6Hf

"Gilsangcheon."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkChhq280TD

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCTpCI9oEU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTGaHP5COY

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWIoN39SQq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBuVeSFhjW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49jl19kQiH

"...?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JyisOwjxw

It occurred to him that it was strange.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhSmPCVdgE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFGnx3MEww

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpXNZkdzrK

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8yu3odqlh

Jeong Tae-ui murmured without hiding his awkward face.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS0kNxEgil

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11BcvljYjd

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?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZssIwYyDOP

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiPxmp03TS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfuTsFDlDp

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ629A5OC2ZU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbmJ68qrDO

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsFU0lOW9Q

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hptwhRqBy

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF5qVC5EJP

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PsfMbXaGN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnobtsDPyfS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrWOLfuI9o

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkNgPDRdCN

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFXuuOe6vO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKOsAUPXzi

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXA7bHNvHW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZHGgX1Nb6

"Am I really your Gilsangcheon?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClIAMHxuhg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY6S6TzOBw

"How come?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOT6dykfTB

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRtY4RCJaI

Soon after, Jeong Jae-ui opened his mouth.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOoy22AMYa

"Just because."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0xqnVlKSx

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oAF3PuLc

Just one answer came back.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eJZ2NULFr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5QgsQzKdz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sl73vtXqw

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWr9072FHh

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro8tbXggiM

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uezsUI4gr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItzMgoP9PV

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8QhSlmtCV

Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX07M6DpD8

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGFpoYX80I

But.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTpWEcGxAh

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly sighed.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoQcPi33Ej

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Ucmuepoj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfRAhxjLW

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeyWFUzVwa

"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?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOwpPBxA0R

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcWBbGRQ83

"Me too."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluttOSg9fi

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvgFu4MgJ7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPhKytNzcd

Jeong Tae-ui gave him another look.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw7GH4qvWw

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNTMLsBWTi

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpoNYqxTNQ

Jeong Jae-ui also smiled faintly.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsawlTnZuV

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwEBc6bj6Q

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgToCc4cykG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7qItVyhwZ

This place was completely blocked from the outside.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVn5V5Lv3j

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtPIL5pRk6

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4NZia2d4q

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggHIpbTRS5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk70gR5pa54

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMhtmBu8Y9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpxHYdAz6S

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iLFQjgESF

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm6krtgKGL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt58iX6Uuq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tmwcAS4YF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgtNDmCslF

But.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0dftNfVJc

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYCr4Pfl0e

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvlG0P5naC

Ilay. Ilay Riegrow.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWVDbmMgoX

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxtt3O3bFC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z3HNmYIAc

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhRnF7Upa5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo2Nkq6heD

"Ilay......"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1BxvW4G99

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgVbs02awC

Maybe it's a good thing.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaTmRoSvMq

He could get out of his hands here.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowhcjdGVES

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtfnG4VHIO

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg7ruISu9k

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAu4EDANCq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1g6KQ5fyI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtKIxsiWqK

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2PGO6X745

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEkml5iR3e

Then suddenly, a question crossed his mind.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMsHoIPIER

What does Ilay think he has about him?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUybF0I5T1

"...Pu-Hap!"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcH3Azv1FF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfheU57Of5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvNQj2yfLG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnL8LBEPC2

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ewDuTyBHI

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFhkJOO5sp

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bQbmTE1Z9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjWfDEERJQ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6MshzIyet

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWhQ4Yhwbg

Did you feel like accepting my offer today?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZytQ426LzB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVbwlzLHTw

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFUzJaMC94

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElAofqWjYQ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJuTw5mt13

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6VDZYjkxg

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAWQ8syCbt

Jeong Tae-ui opened his mouth with a smile.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmUDxVRtCr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeWhCFg7wG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKIz9J8ujj

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPewjdyQsOX

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOba6QFK2wC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFFX94lOqK

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCrNxZOjSR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1wqfNFBHd

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojejaxnNtA

"That's a relief."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoO1QUZmHK

Raman nodded and smiled.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qtm5lo24D

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC280zuyOyC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTN7sp8Ed8

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldM9i5FgF1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe53yLlaP9v

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjuOGu5Y6y

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZEvTb8i9l

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttSa9s1TM3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6PwV5ww6g

"Oh, by the way."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPg9DJn5p7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaL3LzNJXZ

"Do you have anything to say?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdfiRne4bG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5S7ump9Yc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOGEJH62yG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gxcSSMXP0

"You want to go out?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUie6BTMLf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6mVaxkn4p

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJlt1M8XJi

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOz0d4pBsu

Jeong Tae-ui looked straight at him and smiled.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2shGkCsjH

"You know it well."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKx5pQb6nU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMaeLLe0hI

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1c3vUx0hE

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DwJMkkPaQ

"Bong..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq3mzGSXJT

"He said he was looking for you."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbRirsZTnw

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sbyy3qgQO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIFsqmUyAx

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs4oEiEwgu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNneX4wenHJ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCGKR4Ysx3

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg9UHGuMOe

"........"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLbNjh98wG

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J1uuaweCt

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUNStEx3lS

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVqSQ8hjIs

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TzIYRDnfY

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95dnUapwQW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5KII56Jug

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHpJ5y5Mkd

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?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH8cuedmXr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3noS8RlCh

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKEdEKwcHz

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsP0D6Tj7y

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz5Ri735en

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTHuNylI5X

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WfmRmr8AN

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7esVAYffa

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepJZPuD2l1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIii0Jg2JQ0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4aydfSK1x

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz3RrXq6qx

"...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?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSkHI0rqEW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1P5OYh0uw

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWYlTkk75N

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZH1KoSZbo

Jeong Tae-ui looked at him without blinking once.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlsgtg3xDA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpwsUaYlSn

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzAl3C8rjD

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkesYehs7Si

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzdgGdF1fw

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8KxZyNf1F

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkU28B8SlP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvvfK7hwNf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI4WffGQPV

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6bHl1XQ9Y

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe1OqQQn6h

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBijXb1G7C

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30usTsWbBS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFKty82uwS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XNGXBSvYX

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZVYSO6Kjh

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqikZjmz5v

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvRMJ6i09O

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV9tNyKf52

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDkv46Qo6s

He said he was looking. Riegrow.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpWK6jzyAA

Suddenly his heart ached.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOOzeiMdmh

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdiFXxi161

He's looking for him.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBqxsJoQkx

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn2bid3DBI

"Uh..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVolgfkmjZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWOgKis1cK

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSLOcHtAt7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C9oEqyqNC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZEFIMJ0Au

What should I do to get out?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg6LdYbhWi

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaysjbT8iu

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFj9gpJqLn

"It must be hard."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7f21BnCm8

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxlLd48lS1

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

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tw2EJz2P8

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Pto95mWH

"Do you want to get out of here?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VrZPdKhrr

Jeong Tae-ui did not answer his low question.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1iJipeG1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUQFu2qysH

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr4hvOVEho

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUWGki7wtw

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLsAM84Uu

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjsxoxKC02

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJiTDEgJQF

Jeong Tae-ui glanced at Jeong Jae-ui.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5TSKX3pri

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVDPujJvD7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWUyLi35Bq

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5garjdIGpZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nKLXxYm5g

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmkegM146D

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRl9MOjDYs

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkLfY7UG0S

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NGBPHQCud

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqv4yiyOnc

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tocfi9nOL

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIj34f1Ndm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqPeb2MGzg

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLHPZzufYl

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOspOEIRiuy

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVY71v3M9q

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwSmC0ilre

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOFUmL8gfP

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxMwYwz2bl

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VJDsqNp10

"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?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSVmpPev64

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?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OSQ8e7axF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknk76wIkcQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYrehztNk1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJKsBcla6u

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1lHbymQVF

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE12m2gFNUK

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYqU2A0ZMF

"It's the complete opposite of someone."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAUne6YtqU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GyNSceLOc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiLSAnVlKa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2iwKXH8Zd

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnKk8bPkro

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCD3ggd0L2

Still, I should go out.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzsrwHp50Q

That's what he thought.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP1Ytd020L

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqkzfZMbOn

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iO5pUhVip

"Who's the opposite?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiZjoMhDGl

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPZaOWxTRS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7wKhLOmH0

Jeong Jae-ui nodded.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJofbyQEMFc

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtJD1eOQ9D

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdshMdKfSb

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg2TSkfOtz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9zwufd1J7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MmpRSfELM

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhF7rNonuG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJqe898mYc

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBit6FWyF1n

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mUc9IvNKs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvIn6HgVCa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Cn3rQ3lg

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTaZP4IGM1

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGaFDiSGXN

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsihbkcZEV3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJovzury6J

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZrcJrOs8A

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnQUvzRhOh

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.......

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco3njIJOBz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME2KTszv3d

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvcbscNqnY

"Huh? Why?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg5fld5LnS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyE7P06aUz

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH8UuFJ8t6

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XrW16nR5n

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBov399rKD

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsh8siyYpR

Jeong Tae-ui knew the hand.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuAiSmqYXS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPephELd4N

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv1Yy6hCLj

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQHg6L5qId

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsoPLpYu3j

He has been thinking about weird things.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGjZGRFcG8

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fMQ8XuxO5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSb2RBB8fS

Jeong Tae-ui suddenly muttered to himself.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKIVitfXij

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT35GLJeG74

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvrGcTv5pG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8awkvjIt4w

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ6h3t6573

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.)

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCm1Dxltt4

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwVImeEgLH

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhREmDGqAGc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaXmRlfvAP

Come to think of that.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZ7Tq3lFn

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkfqihDOUS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP3glHbKI5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsYibiYDIV

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03U4Yr2R8Q

Jeong Tae-ui frowned.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeuVTukFUI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXnJ1BetnF

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgiTC3nlAB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFgCZnQhpj

"Why don't I wear shoes?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4k9DIo2RN

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cc5yw89Qv

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P3I2VbChg

"What did he say to you?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeAwLvmb5Q

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wnd5f9GKa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvLc8qWarW

But.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgNJ9H8pQy

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc50mPX2yfh

"......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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4an91J3PJB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZX3rhZguZ

Jeong Tae-ui frowned strangely.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYssL3wlXs

"He comes every day."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhbZGVrwTO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq8asLdFly

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGW6eXiM6O

Jeong Tae-ui stared at Jeong Jae-ui.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmvMBAGbfH

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYaYMVbwvN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UvythSiPf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2XJk9GGRa

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOimSFw68o7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr3Zpb5wb9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEwoyLfaNl

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuFM0iPRsL

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYBvpTIU6s

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTe1a2e46v

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcxSztSbQ1

Jeong Tae-ui muttered, "Ha!"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgxaikSsOQ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIZ483GiQD

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHlHnWor49

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThTMlcxzC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RMpxTE48s

"Do you want to go out?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI65mAO75f5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwYOTimTG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJLlQRtrLi

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDSKx7shk

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk6Fcvp1VI

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp0E2OvLQ1

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZPQgrqDlo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdiMrB4LHU

"I don't mind going back alone."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJV7qb13Iv

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg6EgDjkxv

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0kcnvbYdi

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57kbLYKCo8

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.....

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsmrvt50I0

***

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ2813i7ya

He woke up from a deep sleep.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tpele7t9f

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAKzP52406

"Ilay..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQlkmkByZM

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchsS6kJ6yj

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TBZOwPdFS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaMNP3qDN3

Jeong Tae-ui looked down at his hand.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Wyd1v7CO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl5xmSil0V

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ403DnD4Sgl

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1s2wvVSEn

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCms2GajUM

"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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2NycnY4WC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7kQpxdmFk

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e7aoG97L4

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj6muPmN1D

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1R3QxTSlC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHS267WLSB

Jeong Tae-ui breathed out a quiet breath again.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy4xDhVrLb

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9UlooaJ4A

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTzfy66cXf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnbreps8lP

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3nbR8kPnl

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4VLuuJNIf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8zuz5gHqK

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGsZC0Hzdu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpJ0E0Pmte

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFup4ICAYrg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzELW5mM1WG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB6Mk0NnHr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLAvQFUHz

Jeong Tae-ui grinned and muttered.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TlFpnZnwV

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs1HWC1ZC5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKRuxU2NT1

"Where was that?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgnO779ckX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxR39GoS7y

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0f86byab0

"You might know."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPxCbAInEk

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTDMwdFO8g

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kzMbjdXNR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BGeuNnWDt

Next to it, there was a backside.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK3UizvpML

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4TrhPDJu1

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgByE5Z6qc

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDLGGZ7NjC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZCfGpQ8T

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDXmSFJblD

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejMMwvTnNs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcjGm9DlSz

Jeong Tae-ui paused again.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Xfs92lPU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmtvLN3eB0

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKrG5UaSyX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3VxshV7or

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjlpLMy5sm

"It was unconscious."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFNWgtHa0L

"Well."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyhSAcuSHo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNL6PmoM5v

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgGJSeVpuh

"Huh? I'm not."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSskTPPyLL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzvc2Aunt9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHLZgDWc0g

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTJ2mj7UVP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj9DAVoauF

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30EzsXuAGO

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkpvRtAYMr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ5M44uf8U

"No, the meteor shower I mentioned earlier."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNapMTmTYxU

"Oh......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWKG45PTfe

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxM40WY4hg

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYhvWujZ6D

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDah1a8TQQ

Jeong Tae-ui grinned and muttered.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYJeS9S8pa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65LWlZYgf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY59KUh4ga

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxMtVX2i9L

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG1y178CQ2

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50MoRWxVx9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoGXiY7X2P

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZygI4AiSB

"Gangwon-do."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH5XgXHjWs

"Huh?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGrylYqLls

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFo2P5NyvO

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwwJlYrFDq

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmAZLhciK7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4kXGiaI4T

"You are...."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXkf4WzIxr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqNgCOINg7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KSgwFWvHs

"......Did you?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWtnirmIVq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVssIPJFgo

There was silence for a while.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56foHACF60

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcU8F0syWe

"I think my brother brought me luck."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fDCOAUBuf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTNcljn0OC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUx1DDYkKo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5cq2X9i71

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7OIjL67w3

"Without you, I'll die."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILKfRbivjr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB8EWffnRU

He can hear a quiet laugh for a moment.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFawAhQfKM

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UrdjmVehz

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsNFLSBo2v

Jeong Tae-ui frowned and murmured.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK7d5jXIlR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOxUE7KPCl

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCVB3xBKsO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aX3HPOLyA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lmJ2WHE8F

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6D5jqmLvP

"Was it unfair?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0UL2MAhV

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKydIMRUA8c

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeclPY9ckLu

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbtvjzhLpZ

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTixIHKlpw

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI7LFPW2FS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBvGQuEHEN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s12A2rCvs

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRUh9nrdj6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZjvrqjgio

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVRatfTEbh

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn6ogJp8wH

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWI4kuqqKb

"Was that the day you were kidnapped?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlxwvDjlaB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cVyhYV96t

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP3QnBvaH1

There was no answer for a while.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAzZAxc8B9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jFtPEW5PL

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8kuHvLI2h

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1xZuEm55c

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUO0WeigME

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF85JVVPRS

So maybe it was that day.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQUCYzi6Yz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYpBkmO52S

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WKBfodElj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x30OemoNz

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSrkLMSqLU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWkyTIR7eP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzeuCGsiwF

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11p8O26D32

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRHDFZ9nRJ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxxP222U78

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCOfjYMWnb

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LYhGXSjMz

But if.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCD4w8Htai

If one thing, his story is true.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLYNcsprCV

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeyp9qAb6n

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i86GYRiZY

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3G9vifOvG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYkI1P8l1M

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSue1qWaJb

A self-contained voice talking.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5jwWPwmU2

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1TSOhbfXC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ZpUP9gls

"...?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEEkmMCpze

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqA4xMrNR4

Jeong Tae-ui grumbled disapprovingly.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMH5x70ubI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DMwvfKNr1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TSvH4SHNN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjZNpMvDOU

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2OgGgrDqm

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ18hWBsQdL

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHCXNXCH4K

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP03UqcEDLJ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurbzNYZaLJ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv5gvnYo8T

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopZ4WYiLba

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOymIlx4RH7

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgSZnAu8JQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XkXNC5Jll

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y5ClMvjXW

The symbol is faith.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm80Hft4eZ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34VA8mkdJu

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQS4OZQnEp

"...."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrTCFWSR3i

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexHNzrXGTi

You know you are mine.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBXhDSaIuZ

That soft, warm voice.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomiDpmtZdm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hcugag2FP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjk66koyzM

"What is it, Tae-ui?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EYzGNRZyY

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMlRoo3U8E

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3pfWbPZC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJGKys3hGw

It was then.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2nfk1RY8i

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbnI386ihX

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvBtAjjAay

In an instant, his heart became cold.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gt8qDjj8f

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNfwYPagyy

...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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ypWJvDcGX

"...?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLerWMWzSH

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOOcoeXk2I

"Why is that? Tae-ui."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhgo0zMicq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi3HG2C6X6

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMiyfir9vc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuomYbwskvn

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD32lIozvx

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE0R85eGEg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF04rsTwCRs

***

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjhb4ih945

You are mine.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z8iEJQEL5

He thought of some thoughts.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QwRT7Pdq3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzQox51HBw

"I'm not Ilay's."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7JlDgQCrY

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhkDty7GQB

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjquHHIs4U

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHDZLuk9X5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXflF4mdXM8

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukVtQnRrj7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreKfPR6EPh

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q0ehXBXxk

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra5Yy2OieY

Jeong Tae-ui shook his head sharply.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf918iTzZK

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2sucDmD1Z

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTbgMTSBFi

How are you doing now?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakTu8NqRlm

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvAJoFBNqq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4qiuq8gET

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTaGOV7nUU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TLmc0RZVn

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHLgdIwUFm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8QBxVJplE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV3Uq6IKJb

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0E4HIu20e

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0KDbpZkza

"......"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW42oaTbV1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBnxpUFscf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGdZtNFJbn

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodV4fCFV9q

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iiOuUXhoH

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTbmVLjzXq

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGR8umXB1L

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...

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELvRKyNQWj

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMJ54UKSJZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrtCMsveih

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4nWeEcpIe

That is, the farthest from the gate.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZbnDSHWj

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv417LyhWEG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j1ej86oyy

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQ63DgRKr

That was accurate.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHITwso1myS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc25z5q8qg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMlVY1bKA3

In addition.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSS5STbtQ6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfW5vGo8kh

Jeong Tae-ui muttered and picked his hand.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QqcZcu8WK

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi5ZW3xunL

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIIj0EgtDy

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dXTHxJr2c

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPt3kOqRM7

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Zg6mYnia

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG8k25foCW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeE1ZVjwYN

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKenu6IshT

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiXiU2KOb9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdgch9ixl1

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlToxphKkVF

Should I give it a try?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4c3ciEJDp

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPmmlOKYjz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjydSC6oezZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzuTKlu321

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksDmRyeGtk

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcduT5RSojE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFythem2ADB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIuq8YviyU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzQyAkJkbN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAP8ELstYx

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KbstHKUhA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgRnAE3dga

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8f9MvIySR

"I wish you'd let me out."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdC2XSvULr

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VtOVCPB0S

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDDBamGmKP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxPdz1uIIC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqfxowNAsj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUryds3KyYS

Oh, he is an actor who learns something.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlczUwv8zYJ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlmHoG2BjW

"It hurts!"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XFh5ySgW4

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEsHP30qkp

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrfYtsuE2i

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUYqgjRw4D

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXszCHKREx2

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye4DkcUII0

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oc3lSkYzE

"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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb7y4Yscim

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx3wVI2uBi

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bBnTtlYL5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw2OIpV3u0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRESgIqJJq

Ilay.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec6B0A05vW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlEhxqvMtu

Suddenly, his heart throbbed.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0G7nxM58Z

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvwUVzBVKx

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus2jlS82GS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffxtD3afgl

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPBt6Nz67Q

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.....

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQgqpxFcmt

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsJKbkQZNE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqEjJCCecq

Pick it up. Pick it up.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnPRlfLuIm

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtukUYx0ADO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NDuzvdPh6

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst2eb031FN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZmyDWgchx

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPftt3EeSI

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRAqIqRqTn

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Mnk7OU4C

".....Tae-ui?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyWJ4lF8jA

A low, slow voice.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGug8pmU4pB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD9uBdaE4R

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeWJgBPlFT

"Where are you now?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VOVOAt6n4

"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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo17Vq23HJe

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagJv786Dxx

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TIG4MTzdx

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmTI2pEQ1S

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09kfeIzxXN

"Uh......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvjNoyH21C

What shall I do?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZHtTLgdK2

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aBJo8TySF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAhz9zX5Dr

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQjSBQXY9N

What was that? That means.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODqASSVTzu

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroXESKtdaV

"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!"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMAV9Tfxcm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ccE2LXmOu

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInLdedPjz7

"Hey, maybe I like you."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpKObxqxtO

Oh, this isn't it.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrij3AAFn6

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRBcQvWq5A

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErSq7bU0CP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rkW2qhano

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3xKuCkdRu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VpSVaca13

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMynLbk0ARh

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0NsrB1gt6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2KI0FZOPs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQvSnUrzbW

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8U973cW1l

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSJ5DLQ2Kt

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHwAZJ6mrU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQrJ2ZjEC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoC1Ab30Dm

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHsWYkh4Un

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IRCKHbwKM

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uzuj8Avnv

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMb4MR0iAh

Jeong Tae-ui shut up for a moment.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FNQcyUBm1

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1GgD0gklU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIogdlJuYlm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgheXmTquPZ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqMLCO3Dov

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5InogQr4s

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuAXbR1wKl

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXcYyUJg6Z

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqv2ZjnSJX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5h1s6PEtA

"What..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguUTOAw2mw

Jeong Tae-ui lost his words along the way.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd1MAvAY5z

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA99oMgAcmJ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3FtFwt9oC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBjnAroz4G

"Damn it."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAUr5WYzqX

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoCUaP6cr2

"TAE-UI? What are you doing?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB071DjHCpa

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsKZ2zIUZx

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIej3BxgnYc

Bang!

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOeLi9TgTA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDK1EaUn9q

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht1iH1kNg9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMTLu3aCHN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEfU6WYaiX

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpyXqaSgi1

Jeong Tae-ui thought nervously.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz30viokqz6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJoBx7HTKu

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHVDPNm4fR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hdMM7xfhC

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6qN8DZfI0

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE4NfXONxm

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.......

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoDE6N18VL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AqMQqHjLp

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCi8tj2C4m

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwLTTQyUFa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50UVz0CkSo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKyJhqg4Yf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKvXIX49Bm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w7peLwUaf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAa289ARsA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjnlGQEn2h

***

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9DGKrxNj

Jeong Tae-ui sighed looking in the mirror.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGCfDSe2XW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0E8F9IufZ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivl7nEY57j

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyuDLa1wIl

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSidrnpcSQ0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y8sYehlbO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaS0lZgdxg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTunIxiKFT3

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?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiGyRswS2r

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaaO62L5IU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ofunbSrh

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe5JEYAWEa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOMx0vv9oG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKpvcIO7u5

"Is my face swollen a lot?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRxVHsj4BW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNdbtyzD2f

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB86vdYMfq

"Oh? Oh, there was."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLGboHwtO7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSETksjntY

"You're more swollen than then."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz1jmC66r0

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoFLGXiAdC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGGWAA1lrf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyecK7nRG3

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuG100B4xX

"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....."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZudW13f59

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSDtVARq83

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpZn7QRZ00

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuraifB3RH

It's Raman.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA9hPz0B0E

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBPXYzkfJb

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQwsuWUFvh

Raman stopped by the annex every day.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr02y3dLeKB

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArDDLeLxhc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq7ASUL7Yj

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYsNfljleg

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4s7jDhS3F

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSZVNktbK4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ec7H4FdiE

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.''

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvImiUseWPx

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRypjD0XbDz

Jeong Jae-ui's quiet voice follows.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMyZcbgLmy

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mAquOyRbj

Indeed, Raman's voice was briefly interrupted.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfAYQRbXkH

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yD7LSZVbk

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5byYkEwPV

But...

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4nU13UvE4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUUXw4715F

Jeong Tae-ui murmured quietly in his mouth.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFUZrvp2XA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF6A8LQmts

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh8awvRIuu

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)

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUAHtav6qu

But is it urgent to develop the weapon?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKim1CoIX9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5N8gWM5f

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAwwtxa2VJ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9mtx43oE

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbpTFqENkA

My brother is strong in his own way.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegoMz7lge0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0aQV9pmpk

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNFOtHcoxO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HTMfelfXw

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGiTfngKS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLORbxnj0rT

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nemfkf4Jn

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGFypL9t4y

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3NA9tIVOZ

Jeong Tae-ui sighed.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nycd0w2gd

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZirmCeQlvQ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOf9OVXDmN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlSginQVP1

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?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH65LQEOK6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgB2B3esN0

Jeong Tae-ui sighed.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRBtgQZgJr

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnayM72uJ2

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkT01oWOd2

Jeong Tae-ui felt awkward and scratched his neck.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2Md1IifA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kEA44KJAr

Do you like me?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB3gdcEqQz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRNkDWNJ3E

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejoGm26nrg

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNv2LuQwiN

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtB5WdOmuU

Jeong Tae-ui tore his hair out.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkObDKij3j

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCeN6g2vBt

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLnd8Zh9Fa

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOcSmk7rOD

How much longer do I have to stay here?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQOEwZw6DF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpkBGfgx0u

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHcFZV2hlZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlP9ReQmlC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7jEqHfkFi

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?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNavmXcDQd4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGo3py1eDa

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRgMphhsgB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDEmgN9UnW

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC1JJP6F55

"Yeah, well….thanks to you."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAIMU45Wcp

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGES2DoUr7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPCvu6a2ju

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNJVLEQi4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Eu7ITJk9V

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIV5O5mZ3M

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY7iG6MKi3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5vBMau0J7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4XRTmBrLV

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcrJqXyfQE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVFLvEF71P

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6C48RKXXX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Oomi9p5e

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf0PpfxLGz

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShiQcBnZY3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK6K0x1Mvw

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l6NT1DC1b

"They are no longer in Seringue."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbf6H3sIkT

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlOqwt6aDu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBRBSTtHkf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiu875aXoW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF40lS42Lvu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2VurOndKk

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9sQ3MCg59

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjDE1DVhN1

"Did you use your hands?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAIVAo4vVH

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbdJnXVsm

"What? What?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfhlhz8Yf6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DAgrBh3os

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sv99zXOlE

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPUEYUqh3p

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Q6BHcJ9J

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ma6u5SpU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0680rlAh6C

They're no longer in Seringue.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2uGCFSXNQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xmeg6BqEV

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57OTmP0I3t

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PdADie0Wp

But.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi1atzti8a

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJEKYUHFKi

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MyzHG17ZL

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5olt9FKt4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0YSJ5GH6p

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyY8FUFkb3

His eyes narrowed with satisfaction, and he said calmly.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqrI1ykxxD

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC98Rld9iKJ

***

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKW6OQUBcT

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVww2MgV9kR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT82VqtYDsG

Nevertheless.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l8HNfQzsd

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?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv3zdJK8Li

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLjUm9oKq3

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZjIq1Wkkj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPzSVCE6ul

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jMQgQEe1d

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPTG9SvR1Y

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7o3G8nkpA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tW9k6Tugj

......please.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F8COtt0yc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqajuoGIbX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk5WO53Fgm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTP4buqO4G

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhxTtF77Ch

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvBVupy0u8

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqugA7Jhhs

Jeong Tae-ui bit his tongue.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnLAv0icf9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmj5DCWrqb

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszzoYU8Ubh

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgnGprgHwF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU0LMcs2dR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsYW57CpRN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5GoGXmLHp

Jeong Tae-ui stared at him.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUx0engRnx

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmjP1lWsA5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8dGr1SiN9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8MmjUa3Wd

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSNGTc7E2G

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRC3MlJVnT

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kv74dMOvG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDbMn0hrE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAlQiWKqXB

"The barber..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG35GoRimcg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fk3gIk9hI

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5uvYPGf1y

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJo7uuqYeJ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC2sw1VKMX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3GdwZdXc1

"That's not true...."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3BQQaUYDG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZM9ZLjlZt

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIgBSflaiN

"......?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwBD25DN1F

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVS6Z6HqpR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAhS8mxeNo

"Shall we go out, Tae-ui?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZYqvuk43G

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssUphqwXJZ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VeMxrSKL7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs7jMrj5KX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YVoGFdZee

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQcdXeBkzM

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M16df64BR

"Well….then shall we go out?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVY2HlpSbv

"If you wish."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBSRxAT3vU

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2W2oG93RO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW4pX6bqO4

"Well......somehow."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwclNPGmeep

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qAH8TwBq0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHENkC6q1MS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3wssFsFE

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ozfaFR4f5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sFtNmcFnt

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2uUpdcxe2

"Are you going to make a weapon?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkOpyRyp32

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4NFqQNYsA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mFddhzTjk

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX1U9NT8LU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0QviWp0jC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnbaeNiMMt

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF3FYJelLC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4H9QSBHgA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz6n3AxhI2

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqaehWUPTs

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6mJxqtxwd

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTfHBe0GvK

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcNi8hqBnR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfKEeRathQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1HyydF0vt

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACgcilpzVQ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmkBFJM4Px

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOagQvbyqW3

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyldcn4qzTo

Yeah, it was Ilay.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HHu4sWyiA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKH8K3zRDc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSyhiGQdAd

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCStBUeoKm

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NnjacA2QS

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSyJYnXi9X

But.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH9lBySJVd

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaMiEy2ocL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRY7aWphfE

"If it's you."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMvWIP7XNR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCQUwcH85D

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LT6eYFvS7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTSBumgq4o

***

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xWMbagmpE

Should we go out, Tae-ui?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrfjwTBkVV

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7c7zuuSFp

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpT3t2qVZZ

It was a bedroom.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfa4XCvsO2

"Huh...?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNtYaCpTh5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rLdmhqAjz

It was a bedroom.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS8xCcjpST

"Huh...?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Mp3w8TQQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYigq5VZuj2

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2pZxmU3kg

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHazSdpsPMY

"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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1O6Fz0GCf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcoJ2E9XQC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTVWnA1xXe

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIXtXSBeTs

Should we go out, Tae-ui?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0SVn1p47o

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrloLUEY4i

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlfdon3Eun

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbxb29xyk7

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1wIWG0HNI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7am8jREu6J

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1NE5iNX7H

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70UDHcQPfr

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqmWjmN6Ci

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0Z8CcYCV

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx7zjULpaX

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tozIA6UGe

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACTMRLlxms

"Hyung, I'm going in."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pk81MOgtr

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNCtwtlyEz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPxrLQHb7R

"To put it mildly...."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrKQe7w0oe

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmQztGrMgF

The bed was empty.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKNjLZbcM0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqFUbjwUq0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIscGKPaFE7

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUrLB0mVt6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRAK2heckW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalgC5LXgUI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpkcitOoO1

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnMuRftJOW

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqKOaTWqV4

"There you are."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmD39b3hUU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqspgpfh8HF

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUxi8ghinF

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9G7LT1U2Y

"Didn't you sleep?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TfG36FoDX

"Well......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxePipQGUVV

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoBH7Wmeva

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeVVLCjoEM

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoQvrrmkb1

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.......

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4kO5APVeG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdskCqGVUH1

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaflZsIRscl

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebi5hyndXn

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ptgmNVs10

"This is..."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Kk1L4IkN

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ZvpbN5za

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQnBuDAjva

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMfO4qKEZv

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3TPz3fVVV

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVNTCVpSzw

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5FFA5sPhG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRGmMX4DpL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEkbLm2rF8

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcUcby538L

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhqYh9i7O0

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQYfq7JXKJ

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbRDoq5Tdz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrQI2Z8HCq

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3lt90prh7

"......."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XhwawqeRj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGOF2Ky4DW

Shall we go out, Tae-ui?

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ7XIpE8KK

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L2DympXVL

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sTzJD1s5l

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpmEnFBem9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1kOBZmLIV

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1L4qV6sZd

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOFFN6sFGj

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA8MuAzeZz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskEqbxWOfd

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtEki2XNM1

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX90ll4KHGK

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5rNtdRaH9

"What?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb8geWL20b

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw65qzvnYl

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSG30QhTrf

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VuQ0ohSL8

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4xg2x2c3E

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA1gkeyWzV

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0hiKN1bW4

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZlyWInvE8

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AqBgzE8iB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNFbrU1WK9

Jeong Tae-ui sighed and muttered.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRi7CH98qt

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB6egAxvmB

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwO0NTbeYz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBuHjPZkxM

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymKaTYs62Q

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS4i2b7Kvi

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRBpKz5YAY

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmx27ZHUtn

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlATeEViyfT

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQbESDTcwk

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP5aKhmkMj

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3sAbPieW2

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yXjcTMUBM

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50ZnUAl9D

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjCVLLZ8pH

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wf36eBDLR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YBtDx8fQz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0osbwtYE

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojaBjdfWUv

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IZHpTUNel

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHltl03aqi

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWRRZeRQvg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8pKtFS76X

Suddenly, he felt lighthearted.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ODlGCvi8

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy53ELHBfx9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU8O4I1wdy

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWS5cmNRFt

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXHtiFyHQu

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZHsrZ0piQ

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwlrGmTieK

"I put it somewhere."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U5Za962hm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKiXirip6H

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLQ5P78zvh

So he sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nvFw3jyF7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ssXf2BnFR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeFL5y5GA4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHNOHZjw7b

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvJTrU8IQm

"What did you get?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0QvmALM5F

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BNH4uYDo0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDkpQYCoah

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yVnp8kXKp

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK5PS2C6IB

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA02t0lkf7f

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGkuZYEuP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrJvQgzCYC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefZ94ImB8h

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22zbHkKh4i

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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXVfCnQLX

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8TqymRha0

Suddenly, his fingers twitched.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqfk4PKBkz

There's only one person in his head.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBMT1Xa3W6

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9eKXBD9IA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJTumm4l7X

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gV2yz1Vdm

It was then.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KT7AzFeqd

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEJYfXa8zF

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHF2d2YoYm

"Good morning."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3JCXDV6Wi

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWtEL44zC8

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4XxM7alu3

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfGIcCv7Zs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdtuddnTDv

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNpBM0BIhj

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FvDYjCfty

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJQZjgDWl6

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpFhd9inHA

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqQp9yRcRg

It can't be helped now.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLIRdf2X75

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE5PqNOWWC

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj0zWptlW5

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC5DCyf7MT

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Yb36nSyh

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhQU9GjlJu

"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....."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuByXO9aUdE

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxazru7Mnz

But Raman wasn't looking at the paper.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ4ihWhzCI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3DxUvRJI1

"......?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xZpKi9Ncs

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE0vgaOoJ9

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijBENTL22J

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2nVnxZ3VW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnI65YHaMI

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQhvDJD5vU

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaOWEbOepN

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYPGtkP5Jg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7bPEpaFkm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWBmEYiGM3

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84hPTWP0Im

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfpffZ3GOO

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz0l5wHSHB

Jeong Jae-ui nodded with a smile.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL04wHBv03

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdymyk1Kvw

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofqwtpp1Jo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRicHxweRIm

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsw4qVYtGL

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGadl3FxQJq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLXUTBsffc

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0WGkpnAn0

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC29tjHTNn

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjImxzCGpoG

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnovGN2GTI

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BcE80mrj

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf86Ek1k8IE

Raman shook his head and said softly.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiujU3ulIJ1

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A6xyaJ9eL

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyQ6DRwZon

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wNfs0gWOw

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OjZo2LtSo

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9iOs7lWtC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lgylDRara

"Oh, did I?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5rHEzRvuz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuJkLjrP9Q

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RrCUIz9uC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRQJJuND0e

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cQhiAe3cg

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQpCUiMJz

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJvWtN3ZUR

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDTAu8gvzx

He said with a sigh.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEzFrIYzd1

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv5VYpMc6w

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkvQGXmp3F

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc0y7uDUKf

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtnJ76U6b3

But Raman laughed low. Shake his head slowly.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHehwOLVWt

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0yxbGRdA7

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzDZJqnP3D

"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?"

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQElwY7xXy

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVZFSfUJJW

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXiPyqF9VY

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqDGGY87pU

"I apologize for that. I was mistaken."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcopA8861mo

Raman shook his head unconcernedly against his words.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEmdLvCfak

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiF80WJGGS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutPEQw02yP

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhMcbdonK4

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27wj1p2yBm

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YaGZ0RAOy

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZDkq6jVdq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZaMfcw5N

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfibzUvk7I

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxrgcP5kls

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7hXXJyYj5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuJZKr8eQH

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmsTD42raC

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZXx2qiDGp

"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."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekvVpq13kS

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IW1q2sRlo

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1JacNj0dj

Jeong Tae-ui glanced at Raman passing by.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkRgb3jEDv

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K3M2LWQlg

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuClmIJer5W

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfMTAj3A2g

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYlbleSyR

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQTzuP1QnA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK2kqCczpA

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc2Neq20ml

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyOHEjJYeY

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrInvB1Yz9

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMgCgEsARl

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CMNuiyzNY

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxdvvMujVG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9dHPaAxWJ

"Tell me if there's any way."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT35Z0ejOU4

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEFxhY7YO5

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTavFjA5rD

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...

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC829hPNirr

"......why."

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpL5OwYnjq

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra4Zv5hWH0

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YTt8c9hx8

It's time for this.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmASJmt6LG

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWDvTwdgf

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jw2HGxu7L

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.

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDH2qzSu6W

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

506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONy2A9B0KM

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.
