It was a bitterly cold winter day.
Unable to endure the harsh training, Siwoo, once again, ran out of the mansion barefoot.
“Master Siwoo, are you here?”
A long shadow was cast over Siwoo, who was squatting near the utility pole, sniffing.
An elderly man with neat uniform attire and kind wrinkles, Na Il-seok.
Known to Siwoo as the one who would always find him first wherever he hid, Na Il-seok, unlike the wolf guild members, was a long-time servant who had worked in the mansion.
“Master…”
Recognizing Il-seok, Siwoo lifted his head, which was buried in his knees. Il-seok, seeing Siwoo’s tear-stained face, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Siwoo’s dirty face.
“Your handsome face is a mess. Come on, let’s go back quickly.”
“I’m not going.”
After rejecting Il-seok’s touch, Siwoo buried his face in his knees again.
Il-seok, looking down at Siwoo with a troubled face, bent his knees to align his eyes with Siwoo’s.
“Really? Then how about going to eat something?”
“I don’t want to eat…”
Alright then.
Il-seok effortlessly lifted Siwoo and began to walk somewhere.
“Master!”
Holding the struggling Siwoo, Il-seok headed toward a modest food cart nearby.
Il-seok ordered steamed mussels, green onion pancakes, and steamed egg custard one after another, while Siwoo, sitting across from him, stared at Il-seok with a chubby face.
“Master, have you never been to a place like this before? Well, the green onion pancakes here have chili peppers in them, so…”
Il-seok, using chopsticks, removed each chili pepper stuck in the pancakes one by one, tore them into bite-sized pieces, and brought them to Siwoo’s mouth.
“There, try it.”
“…”
“Worried it might be hot? Wait a moment—.”
“Just give it to me.”
Siwoo, pretending to be indifferent, opened his mouth to accept it. The crispy dough, crunchy green onions, and the slightly salty and spicy flavor were quite good.
Watching Siwoo silently swallow the pancakes, Il-seok smiled contentedly.
“I saw Master eating, so I got to eat. I’m not hungry at all.”
“Yes, of course.”
“…”
Siwoo stared at Il-seok with an unresponsive face. Whether he said something or not, Il-seok reduced the flame of the burner with a pleased expression.
“Oh, there are a lot of green peppers in the mussel soup too. Oh, I should have ordered something else if I knew. Master, this might be too spicy for you…”
“I can eat anything.”
“What?”
“I can eat anything.”
Siwoo defiantly raised his chopsticks, scooped up a spoonful of mussel soup, and brought it to his mouth. And then.
“Cough…!”
“M-Master?! Are you okay?”
“I’m… fine. Just this much.”
“I’ll order something else right away. I’m sorry. I was too short-sighted.”
“No, it’s really okay.”
Siwoo continued to reject Il-seok’s offers until almost all the items on the menu were reordered.
Only when Siwoo raised the white flag, saying he couldn’t eat any more, did Il-seok return to the mansion with Siwoo.
When Siwoo signaled that he couldn’t eat anymore, Il-seok, carrying Siwoo, returned to the mansion.
“Where did you go? Are you coming now?”
Buk Guild Leader Ha Gyun, who had ears like a ghost, suddenly appeared at the entrance. He was wearing the black mask with a checkered pattern that he always wore.
“I assume you skipped dinner, so I brought a meal for you.”
“A meal?”
“Yes. Master, you’re still in your growing phase. Training is good, but isn’t it more important to eat well and rest properly?”
“…”
Gazing through the black mask, Ha Gyun stared fixedly at Il-seok, then shifted his gaze to Siwoo.
Siwoo, hiding half of his body behind Il-seok, glared at Ha Gyun.
“Since it’s already late, how about resting now?”
At Il-seok’s suggestion, Ha Gyun turned his gaze back to him. After a moment of silence, Ha Gyun turned around.
“…I’ll schedule the training for 6:30 tomorrow morning, Master.”
After Ha Gyun disappeared, Il-seok brought Siwoo to his room. Placing Siwoo on the clean and plush bed, Il-seok fetched a first aid kit and applied ointment to Siwoo’s cheek.
“It’ll be better in a few hours even without applying this. I’m a high-level Awakener.”
Siwoo, while grumbling, quietly sat in his place. He didn’t dislike the gentle and kind touch soothing his cheek.
“I know.”
Snap!
Closing the first aid kit, Il-seok smiled faintly.
“But just because it’ll get better soon doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt, right?”
“…”
Siwoo didn’t say anything in front of him.
After laying Siwoo on the bed, Il-seok extinguished the light on behalf.
Perhaps it was a bit scary when the room became pitch dark, as Siwoo’s small hand grasped the hem of Il-seok’s clothes.
“You don’t have to go anywhere even if you don’t hold onto me.”
“…Really?”
“Yes.”
Il-seok gently patted Siwoo’s chest over the blanket. Siwoo, with round eyes peeking from under the covers, opened his mouth cautiously.
“Master.”
“Yes.”
“…Why doesn’t Master scold me?”
“Why would Master scold you?”
“I run away every day after training.”
“That’s why I consider it fortunate.”
“…What?”
