97.
If it weren’t for the bodyguards who had been waiting in advance, they wouldn’t have been able to get out of the airport.
“It reminds me of the past.”
Hyeon-woo smiled as he looked at Seon-woo.
“I know.”
Seon-woo answered that and then shut his mouth. Lately, his Dongsaeng has felt distant. If it was like before, he would have stuck to him right away and found out what was going on. But Hyeon-woo couldn’t even do that as his brother was avoiding him.
“I have something urgent, so I’ll go first.”
After walking away, Hyeon-woo was left alone with Do-jin, who he pushed in a wheelchair. Although he had made a quick recovery, Hyeon-woo remained anxious, so he was forced into a wheelchair.
“Are you okay?”
Do-jin asked with a worried expression as he looked at Seon-woo, whose expression had subsided.
“I’m okay.”
Hyeon-woo smiled awkwardly and tapped Do-jin on the shoulder. It was a call to look forward to again.
“There are a lot of humans.”
“Call them people.”
“Doesn’t it mean the same thing as a human being?”
“You’re not going to say that because you’re an angel right here, right? Then, wouldn’t it be necessary to adjust your tone to some extent?”
From behind, Miriel and Ga-jun were walking and chatting. The two seemed to have become quite close.
“What about Alberg?”
Do-jin asked.
“He said he would stay in the US for a little longer. He will try to catch the traces of the demons.”
“Why?”
He didn’t seem like a great person to care about such things or even help out in such matters. Do-jin had doubts. On the other hand, Hyeon-woo did not think deeply about it.
“I had a request.”
If you’ve been beaten, you should take revenge, it wasn’t right to be quiet. Although he would like to do it like he always had, it wouldn’t be possible as Hyeon-woo wouldn’t like it.
For that reason, Hyeon-woo left Alberg in the United States. Although he didn’t feel comfortable giving Alberg a wish, he agreed to grant him one wish later.
He did feel a bit uneasy about what Alberg wanted, but he assured him he wouldn’t ask for anything big.
“What was your request?”
“That’s a secret.”
“I want to know?”
“Rather than that, Hyung should get some more rest. Don’t worry about anything else, let’s just focus on recuperation.”
“Okay then.”
Hyeon-woo said firmly and cut off the conversation. Do-jin’s sullen expression almost weakened his heart, but somehow he overcame it.
‘When I want to take revenge, I must go alone!’
Alberg and Miriel had no choice but to help them, but the others were not going to be immensely helpful. It was usually a dangerous place.
As the time they spent together grew longer, she became attached to Ga-jun. That was why she didn’t want more people to get hurt.
Hyeon-woo, who got out of the airport and stood in front of the car, immediately hugged Do-jin.
“This is a bit embarrassing.”
Although Do-jin was shy, the other was patient. He didn’t want to add any pressure, so he neatly ignored it. After getting him into the car, he packed up and loaded the wheelchair.
After that, they shared a car and headed to the safe house prepared separately by the Seon-Hyeon Guild. He even thought about going back to where he was, but this was better for the time being. The reporters who ran like crazy were dealt with separately without the help of Do-jin.
“It’s okay.”
Do-jin insisted that it was okay until the end, but no one listened.
“Rest for now. I can roll you around as much as you want after you are all recovered.”
“That’s scary in its own way.”
Do-jin laughed at Hyeon-woo’s words. It had been a brief time, but because he was focused on recovery, he gained some weight again. But he was still thinner than before – the curse ate up his body from within.
“Come here.”
Hyeon-woo rummaged through his bag and pulled out an energy bar.
“I ate breakfast earlier.”
“This is a snack.”
Do-jin calmly accepted the energy bar without resistance. When Awakened passes through portals, they often take snacks with them as a substitute for a meal, so they can suddenly feel full.
However, Hyeon-woo did not rest his hand. After he ate the energy bar, he supplied candy. After he ate the candy, he provided Do-jin with chocolate. Something or the other kept popping out of the bag.
In the meantime, he gave him a drink in case he got thirsty.
“I’m going to gain weight at this rate.”
“You’re not fat, you’re not fat.”
Hyeon-woo said that and kept passing something on to Do-jin. In the meantime, the car arrived at the safe house. It was a fairly large villa located on a privately owned mountain.
“This is nice.”
Having said that, Ga-jun took Miriel and went inside first. Hyeon-woo opened the wheelchair again and sat Do-jin down.
Even though Do-jin was embarrassed, he accepted it all. When the person he liked came out so actively onto him, how could he refuse it?
When he went sitting in a wheelchair, he saw a spacious living room. In the meantime, Miriel and Ga-jun had already decided on a room.
“Which room are you staying in?”
“The biggest room.”
Hyeon-woo said that and opened the door here and there. Then, he pushed Do-jin’s wheelchair into the biggest room and entered himself.
“What about my room?”
When Do-jin asked with a bewildered expression, the answer came back.
“There’s no private room for the patient. We should just use the room together.”
“Together?”
Hyeon-woo nodded with his head.
‘This is a bit embarrassing.’
Do-jin laughed awkwardly and looked at Hyeon-woo.
He would be sharing a room with the person he liked.
Besides, there was no one to disturb them here. Alberg stayed in the US, and Seon-woo also left because he had an important job, so Ga-jun was the only one left.
However, he was busy chasing the angel, Miriel. Miriel appeared to be holy, but contrary to her appearance, she either acted like a screw up or as if she had had an accident.
‘Surprisingly, being a nanny of the celestial race suits his aptitude.’
If Ga-jun knew, he would have screamed in anger, but he wasn’t here right now.
“Hyeon-woo, wouldn’t it be better to use a separate room?”
For now, Do-jin decided to rationally persuade Hyeon-woo.
“Then what if something happens?”
“What will happen in the safe house?”
“I don’t know. Anyways, no. I’ll just stay here.”
Do-jin tried several more times to convince Hyeon-woo, but eventually conceded defeat.
After packing up and going out to the living room with the intention of having a meal, Ga-jun raised his voice.
“Why are you two coming out of the same room!”
Then Hyeon-woo pointed at Do-jin and said.
“Patient.”
“Then what about you?”
It was something Do-jin liked and didn’t like. It would be better if they were sharing the same room as lovers. He licked his dry lips in regret.
“Are you really just taking care of him?”
“What else do you do besides taking care of him?”
“No, then that’s fine.”
Ga-jun answered and followed Miriel, who entered the kitchen first. Meals had to be made by oneself from pre-prepared ingredients.
“You’re surprisingly good at cooking, human.”
Ga-jun was a talented cook, so he did most of it.
“Didn’t I tell you my name?”
“I know, but you all look the same to me.”
“I understand, angel. I think you can stop eating this then.”
It was only after the dish was in danger of being taken away that Miriel seemed to remember Ga-jun’s name.
“I remember now. Do Ga-jun.”
“Yeah, good job.”
Ga-jun put the bowl of food back down. From the outside, it looked like he was training the angel.
“Hyung, eat a lot too.”
“Unn.”
Food piled up like a mountain on the plate in front of Do-jin. Hyeon-woo fed Do-jin until his stomach was full. If he hadn’t been a sturdy S-Class Awakened, he might have been sick a long time ago.
After eating, there was still time left. There wasn’t much to play with in the safe house.
“I will enjoy the view from the balcony.”
Miriel said that and went upstairs again.
“I’ll keep an eye on her then.”
Ga-jun followed Miriel up the mountain. After that, only the two of them were left downstairs.
“I’ll clean up then.”
“I’ll help too.”
“Patient, go away.”
“I’m no longer a patient.”
Do-jin grumbled and picked up a dry dishcloth. When Hyeon-woo washed the dishes and handed over the dishes, Do-jin wiped them off. As a result, only the sound of dripping water could be heard in the kitchen.
“Dish washing is done!”
“I’m done too. So what do we do now?”
“I know, right.”
The two looked at each other for a moment and then burst into laughter.
“Should I sleep?”
He was pleased with the atmosphere right now.
“It’s good.”
The two went back to the room. Do-jin lightly closed his eyes as the hand slowly pushed the wheelchair. He had thought it was overprotective, but he still didn’t feel bad about it.
Upon arriving at the room, Do-jin was gently laid on the bed by Hyeon-woo.
“Good night.”
And Do-jin grabbed Hyeon-woo, who was about to leave.
“Where will you sleep?”
“There are a lot of rooms, so I guess it doesn’t matter where I sleep.”
“Are there any rooms left with a bed?”
“I guess so, but–”
Hyeon-woo just blinked and stood quietly. Then, Do-jin pulled him once more, bringing him onto the bed, and quietly placed him down on the side.
“Let’s sleep.”
“Unn.”
His body felt a bit stiff. Do-jin closed his eyes hoping it would help calm him down.
How long had it been?
He could feel Hyeon-woo’s movements. Hyeon-woo, who had approached him little by little, was right next to Do-jin before he knew it.
Then something moved back and forth in front of his eyes. It was as if he was moving his hand to see if he was asleep.
