A Lovely Meal — Chapter 28

JUST BEAR WITH ME FOR A SECOND.

WU JONGWU...

YOU....

MMPH?!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

M-MMPH... *FEEDING

NO, I MEAN-

I'M SAYING...

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GET ALL UP IN MY FACE JUST TO FEED?

IT'S AWKWARD. TCH.

AWKWARD

THUMP!

ANYWAY,

JUST DRINK FROM MY WRIST.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DRINK FROM THE NECK...

OH, REALLY?

WHAT, ARE YOU GETTING PICKY NOW?

FINE, IF YOU DON'T WANT IT, FORGET IT.

NOOOOO!

NO, NO! THANKS FOR LETTING ME HAVE YOUR WRIST.

UM... THEN...

I'M REALLY GOING TO DRINK NOW...

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S LETTING ME FEED THIS WILLINGLY.

ISN'T HYUNG SCARED AT ALL?

...SOMEHOW...

THIS FEELS A LOT LIKE THAT DREAM I HAD BEFORE...

IT FEELS STRANGE...

...MMH.

HYUNG?!

ARE YOU OKAY?!

N-NO, IT'S NOTHING.

IT'S JUST WEIRD THAT IT DOESN'T HURT,

EVEN THOUGH MY SKIN'S BEEN PIERCED.

AND NOTHING SEEMS WRONG,

SO WHY NOT JUST TAKE ONE GOOD LONG DRINK AND BE DONE WITH IT?

WHAT AM I, DRINKING A SODA OR SOMETHING...?

SERIOUSLY...

...THEN

I'LL HAVE JUST A TINY BIT MORE...

JUST A LITTLE MORE...

JUST A LITTLE...

...WU JONGWU,

IS IT REALLY THAT GOOD?

...YEAH...

IT FEELS SO GOOD... I'M GETTING DIZZY...

HYUNG... I'M SORRY.

I THINK I GOT CARRIED AWAY AND DRANK TOO MUCH...

WELL... IF IT TASTED GOOD, THAT'S FINE.

IF YOU'RE DONE, MOVE.

I NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM.

THE BATHROOM...?

I DON'T THINK IT WAS LIKE THAT AT FIRST...

I GUESS...

YOU WERE RIGHT AFTER ALL.

NOT SINCE I WAS A STUDENT...

...HAVE I GOTTEN THIS TURNED ON.

BEING FED ON FELT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED...

...SO I DIDN'T EVEN THINK TO STOP HIM.

IF WU JONGWU HAD...

...JUST KEPT GOING INSTEAD OF STOPPING...

HM.

I WAS THINKING I MIGHT LET HIM FEED EVERY NOW AND THEN IF IT WASN'T TOO BAD...

YEAH, THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK.

LATELY...

HMM....

I FEEL LIKE WU JONGWU'S BEEN AVOIDING ME.

EVEN WHEN WE EAT TOGETHER,

HE BARELY EATS BEFORE GETTING UP AND LEAVING.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO DO...

AND THE REST OF THE TIME, HE FINDS SOME WAY TO AVOID ME.

I'M GONNA HEAD TO BED FIRST...

WE PRACTICALLY USED TO SPEND ALL DAY TOGETHER,

SO HOW AM I SUPPOSED NOT TO NOTICE WHEN HE SUDDENLY STARTS ACTING LIKE THIS?

MAYBE SEEING HOW I REACTED TO BEING FED ON...

...MADE HIM FEEL GUILTY OR SOMETHING?

I'M ALREADY IMPOSING ON HIM BY STAYING AT HIS PLACE,

SO I THOUGHT I'D JUST IGNORE IT AND CARRY ON.

BUT IF HE'S UNCOMFORTABLE IN HIS OWN HOME,

I SHOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONE TO MOVE OUT.

I SHOULD TALK TO HIM WHEN I GET HOME.

I DIDN'T EXPECT THINGS TO TURN OUT LIKE THIS.

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET HIM FEED ON ME...

...WAIT, BUT...

WHAT A MESS.

WHY DOES THIS DAMN OFFICE...

...NEVER SEEM TO GET CLEAN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TIDY UP?

A FEW DAYS AGO, TAEGEUM HYUNG SUDDENLY TOLD ME...

THE HIGHER-UPS WANTED THIS PLACE CLEARED OUT.

APPARENTLY, THEY'RE SHUTTING DOWN THE BUSINESS,

SO I DON'T HAVE MANY DAYS LEFT WORKING HERE.

IF I END UP MOVING OUT OF WU JONGWU'S PLACE,

I'LL NEED TO FIND A PLACE OF MY OWN, SO I'D BETTER START LOOKING FOR WORK SOON.

...I GUESS I'VE HAD IT PRETTY EASY UNTIL NOW.

I SHOULD REALLY START LOOKING FOR A PLACE

AND A PART-TIME JOB IN MY SPARE TIME.

IS ANYONE IN THERE?!

SOMETHING ABOUT THIS...

I'M HEADING OUT FOR A BIT~

DON'T OPEN THE DOOR FOR ANYONE~

I'VE GOT A REALLY BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS...

WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO?

PICK UP ALREADY!

GET THE TOOLS.

YES, SIR!

IF I HAVE TO, I CAN GET OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW...

OH~ CHANGDEOK~ WHAT'S UP?

HYUNG! SOMEONE'S TRYING TO BREAK IN RIGHT NOW!

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!

HUH? WAIT, WHAT?

I SENT SOMEONE OVER TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE OFFICE.

HE'S STILL NOT THERE?

WELL... THERE WAS SOMEONE IN HERE?

THAT'S STRANGE... DID HE GET SIDETRACKED?

HANG ON. I GOTTA GO.

BUT WHY

DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING

OR OPEN THE DOOR

WHEN YOU HAD A VISITOR?

THAT'S A LITTLE HURTFUL...
