Chapter 49
The tattered Suyongsu and the three Chaeju’s mother branches were placed in a box.
“Where are you going to send them?”
“I’m going to send it to someone who’s going to take a shit, hang up the phone, and immediately ask me who sent it to me.”
“……What a noble hobby.”
“How’s the nanny, by the way.”
“She just fell asleep.”
The old man’s expression changed for the better. I looked at him and shrugged.
“I’m sure he’s made up his mind now. Anyway, I’m done with the construction, so I’ll leave you to it.”
“Goodbye, monkfish.”
The uncle looked at me as I walked past, and he couldn’t help but wonder, too.
“How did you know? When I asked Dae-myung, he told me that he ordered you to deliver the inspection to him.”
It would hurt my mouth to go into details, and I’m afraid that I’ll continue to be suspicious.
“Why would I want to go to the military?”
“Did you know about it early on?”
“I can’t resist curiosity. You know that.”
I shrugged, looking away from his gaze. I can’t say he was my teacher in the first place, so what can I do.
I gave him a quick smile and moved on to the other side of the room, where I saw a familiar face.
It had been less than seven years since I had seen him, but I recognized the face in my hazy memory. It was the face of a soldier who had grown much younger than his former life with the walls of the South Palace, a soldier who had begun to enjoy the life of a soldier rather than the life of a soldier.
