A faint shampoo scent wafted from Sunwoo, who seemed to have hurriedly arrived.
Perhaps due to the mood, his hair also seemed slightly wet.
He appeared somewhat disheveled. Perhaps because the lawyer had always seen him in a neat state, she was quite surprised by Sunwoo’s appearance.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?”
Nevertheless, his appearance made her stare as if enchanted. While the lawyer was scrutinizing Sunwoo, he, as if brushing aside his wet bangs, smiled stylishly and said, “Is there something on my face?”
“Oh, no. I momentarily lost my mind looking at Professor’s beauty.”
As the lawyer, still scrutinizing him, responded, Sunwoo burst into a small laugh.
“I dropped by because I had something to do at home. Did you wait long?”
Glancing at the clock, which barely passed the appointed time by five minutes, the lawyer smiled.
“There’s no need to wait; this is my office. Here are the materials you requested.”
“Have you not heard from Wonju-sung yet?”
“He seems cautious. By the way, why does he suddenly want to meet?”
“I think it might be helpful.”
“Helpful?”
Sunwoo laughed mysteriously as he looked at the lawyer, who gazed at him with a puzzled expression.
Lately, Sunwoo had been frequenting his office as if clocking in for work. The reason was clear: doubts about a childhood incident. Maybe because it was hard to believe or didn’t want to believe, he couldn’t figure out why he was so obsessed with that incident.
While contemplating this, the lawyer silently observed Sunwoo. His face seemed filled with worries even without saying a word.
Having swallowed a dry spit, the lawyer cautiously asked Sunwoo, “You don’t look well.”
Sunwoo, who had been lightly smiling, stopped walking and gazed curiously at the lawyer as if it were strange.
“Can you see that, Lawyer-nim?”
“Have I not seen you for 1 or 2 years, Professor? I may not know what you’re thinking, but I can tell your condition at a glance.”
“Is that so?”
“Did you not get along well with Mrs. Ahn…?”
“I haven’t spoken yet.”
“You still don’t know, do you…?”
Looking at Sunwoo with a hint of embarrassment, the lawyer regained her composure and asked carefully, “You seem to have already found out.”
Eunjae, who climbed to the third floor as if rushing, breathed deeply, exhausted.
As he lay on the bed, considering whether to organize his luggage, he noticed the suitcase he had pushed into the corner. As he contemplated tidying up, his gaze naturally turned to the clock hanging on the wall.
Soon it would be the time Sunwoo promised to come.
Although he had planned to come up after eating and organize his luggage, he found himself chatting with Aunt Seongsan, and before he knew it, it was already evening.
“I might not have time to pack tomorrow. This is a big problem.”
Still, it seems like I did well. I have no regrets. Thanks to the various help I received, I can now leave with my greetings.
It’s not a proper farewell, but…
“Still, you’ll understand, right?”
Muttering to himself, Eunjae crumpled his weary body into the blanket and huddled up like a shrimp.
Then, he suddenly remembered Sunwoo’s advice to take medicine. Eunjae opened the medicine cabinet, took out cold medicine and herbal pills, and stared at them for a while before slowly getting up.
As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, a savory smell greeted him. Eunjae’s steps, slowly descending the stairs, quickened. Guided by the fragrance, he swiftly reached the first floor, and his gaze turned towards the kitchen.
Eunjae, who had been stirring a large pot with a ladle, met eyes with Seongsan Aunt, and he widened his eyes in surprise.
“You’ve been here all this time?”
“Why did you come down? I thought you were sleeping.”
“Ah… I just wanted to warm this up.”
Seongsan Aunt lowered her head and, seeing the herbal pills and medicine in Eunjae’s hand, asked with a worried expression, “Do you have cold symptoms?”
“It’s not something to worry about.”
“Well, that’s a relief. I was making abalone porridge; would you like to taste it?”
Eunjae quickly approached Seongsan Aunt. The pot was filled with thick abalone.
“Why abalone porridge all of a sudden?”
“You had lunch and dinner. Eat it later if you get hungry.”
“Ah… It’s okay.”
He seemed to eat well even then. Seongsan Aunt, smiling, took the medicine in Eunjae’s hand.
“Taking medicine on an empty stomach? Eat a bit of porridge. I’ll warm it up for you after you finish your meal.”
As Seongsan Aunt happily observed Eunjae’s nearly empty bowl, when Eunjae’s meal was almost finished, she warmed up the herbal medicine and placed it in front of him.
“Eat this and go up to sleep quickly.”
“Thank you. Sunwoo is quite late today.”
“He’ll come soon. Don’t worry and go to sleep.”
“I feel like I’ve taken up too much of your time… Are you here because Sunwoo hasn’t finished his work yet?”
“No. It was nice to chat after a long time. I have to do a major cleaning, so I’ll be in the detached house for a while. So, if you want something to eat, just let me know anytime.”
