“Yes……?”
With a faint cough, Kim San opened the door. No one would visit him, so he was very curious who it was.
“……Esper-nim?”
Surprisingly, it was Gido Hae.
“Hello.”
Gido Hae clicked his tongue in his heart as he saw Kim San opening the door without a trace of vigilance. No matter how poor the security inside the center is, isn’t it too thoughtless? In particular, anyone could enter.
Later, if his father’s men tried to kidnap him, Kim San would be dragged away helplessly. He felt the need to educate them a little.
“Hello, Esper-nim.”
Kim San welcomed Gido Hae with a bright smile. Today the guy’s slightly red cheeks were the first thing that came into view.
His flushed cheeks made him look excited, but his slightly drooping eyes looked weak. The area around the eyes was also red as if the paint smudged from the cheek touched it.
Gido Hae also heard a weak cough before opening the door. The temperature of his breath was a little higher than usual. Oh, did he say it was a cold? Only then did he remember the sound of Lee Jae-Chul muttering as he was passing by.
“I think he is not feeling well, I’m worried.”
It was an issue that he didn’t even consider until he came, but Gido Hae brazenly thought of a reason. He had to give a reason why he came alone after saying that there was no guiding at all, but it was a good excuse.
Kim San closed his eyes even more and slightly moved to the side with a smile as if he believed his words. Gido Hae took a peek at thehallway and entered Kim San’s dorm.
“You’ll be all right after a nap.”
“Really?”
For a visit, Gido Hae was quite empty-handed. No, to be exact, it was more like a poor visitor who came in with a listening device, not medicine or porridge.
He told Lee Jae-Chul to cancel the guiding because the rain was making him feel worse. Then, he visited Kim San’s dorm without anyone knowing.
After thinking about it carefully, Gido Hae came to the conclusion that he should plant a listening device near Kim San. If he just lets anyone in through the door, if Kim San happens to be kidnapped, Gido Hae will be able to get information one step ahead.
“Please sit here.”
Kim San grabbed Gido Hae’s hand and led him to where he was sitting. Is it because he was sick? His legs moved as if they were floating. Gido Hae’s eyes moved slightly at their hands held together, but he didn’t say much.
A wish for his guest to stay for a long time suddenly arose. Kim San, who recently had fun buying this and that, ran busily to the refrigerator. After contemplating for a long time, he especially put his favorite strawberry soda in front of Gido Hae.
“Drink this.”
“……Thank you.”When he returned to the table, Gido Hae still sat in a neat position. Kim San, who pushed the strawberry drink a little more to his front, quickly sat across from him.
He wishes he could have treated Gido Hae more properly.
“I thought I couldn’t see you today.”
“Esper Lee Jae-Chul said your voice was not good on the phone.”
“Oh. Maybe it’s because it’s raining, but I think I have a slight cold.”
Promising that he would be fine soon, Kim San looked at the Gido Hae sea in front of him.
Gido Hae sitting in front of Kim San was wonderful and perfect today as well. He couldn’t have been happier to meet him when he realized that he was so lonely.
As usual, he was worried about Kim San and ran all the way here. He was such a sweet person even though it must be hard for him to receive no guidance today. He was always a wonderful person, even with those black eyes that always looked at him.
Just like now.
Looking at the deep eyes of Gido Hae, Kim San tried to control his head from being dizzy. Perhaps because he had a fever, his heart felt like it was beating loudly today.
“By the way, were you alone?”
“Yes. Joo-Hoon Hyung said he had an urgent business trip. I think I’ll be alone for a while.”
As Kim San focused on the sound of his heart, he quickly got tired. He knows he has to lie down quickly to make it less difficult, but he doesn’t want to lie down when Gido Hae is here. Even though his world is circling, he persisted in staying in his seat.
If Gido Hae goes away, Kim San will be left alone again. Still, it was fortunate to come to the city and have someone to rely on.
“You look tired, so take a rest.”
Gido Hae, who had not even touched his drink, bowed and tried to get up. It seemed like he was trying to be considerate of Kim San because his condition didn’t seem to be very good.
With an unknown urgency, Kim San unknowingly grabbed Gido Hae’s hand.
“Can you stay a little longer?”
Kim San knew he shouldn’t stop him like this because Gido Hae is a busy person, but it was such a shame. Without realizing it, he started acting like a child. He didn’t want to let go of the big hand.
From the moment he knew that the person who came was Gido Hae, he was conscious of his voice and was whispering. It was hard to talk today because his voice was hoarse, but it was okay.
Gido Hae stared at the handheld by Kim San and sat down again.
“Sure.”
“Thank you.”
When Kim San thanked him for staying even though he must have been busy, Gido Hae did not answer. He didn’t have any special plans today, but he still needs to do something. He reluctantly sat down again, but he didn’t intend to stay for long.
“So, Joo-Hoon Hyung said he had a sudden schedule. So I…….”
Kim San was talking more quietly than usual, probably because he was running a fever. In other words, it meant that he was more useless than usual. As if to dissuade him, the hands were held tightly with both hands and did not let go. Gido Hae was going to shake it off, but he left it because it became a form of guidance.
He didn’t understand why Kim San grabbed his hands when he was sick and looked like he should be lying down. After carefully assessing the situation, Gido Hae concluded that isolating him had already been effective.
While he was looking around, his eyes naturally wandered around Kim San. Gido Hae was concerned about the red cheeks that had stood out since he first came.
He thought it was because of the fever, but the red eyes were probably from crying.
Kim San was wearing yellow pajamas, but they looked big on him, probably he had purchased an incorrect size. Thanks to this, he could see his collarbone whenever he spoke.
In the meantime, Kim San, who was whispering even while forcing himself to endure the coughing, was somehow annoying.
“You don’t have to speak so quietly.”
“What? But…….”
The way Kim San rolled his eyes and glanced at Gido Hae was ridiculous. It was also fascinating that he knew how to act when he was usually tactless.
“I’m feeling better, thanks to you.”
Before his mouth could open, Gido Hae spoke with some impulse.
The reason for saying this was because of Kim San. Kim San knows his hearing problems anyway, so it’s better to tell him that it’s better.
Kim San smiled brightly. His smile was so bright that it did not match the gloomy weather.
“I’m glad.”
What kind of life do you have to live to laugh like that?
The clean smile only distorted Gido Hae’s judgment.

A hexagonal pencil whirled in the air.
The red marks disturbed his vision. It was absurd that a six-year-old child sat still all day staring at a pencil. However, there was no one in the dark basement to express the absurdity.
It’s just dozens of cameras surrounding him that monitor how consistently and constantly he uses his power. The camera lens glistened at him like a monster’s eyeball. There was a red lamp lit, indicating that the current situation was being recorded, and constantly watched him.
Round and round. Exactly 72,000 times a day. Round and round. 1,825 days without missing a day.
Gido Hae count. For a long time when he can’t even go out of the basement, he just count every day.
As he counted the last number, Little Gido Hae fell into a sleep similar to death.
***
Days went by quickly.
Today, he woke up from a bad dream. The sense of smell that made him sick was finally normalized.
Just in time, the measurement of fatigue was supposed to come out today, but the result didn’t seem bad either.
He sat down on the bed, opening and closing his fist repeatedly. In his dreams, only the past appeared. To be exact the basement that doesn’t exist now.
A bloody pencil would constantly appear in his dreams even though he put it directly in the middle of the forehead of one of his father’s men.
“Whoa…….”
With his hair brushed up, Gido Hae skillfully scattered the dream from his head.
Kim San’s boast that he had a strong body was not a lie and he quickly recovered. It was quite annoying to worry about something, but it wasn’t a bad thing.
However, after hearing that he was helpful, Kim San became a little louder. At the same time, he also urged Gido Hae to answer because he lost quite a bit of fear.
Thanks to this, the screening was very uncomfortable because they were keeping up with the rhythm these days. The wiretap didn’t really catch anything either. This is because Kim San was very quiet when he was alone at home.
Just before going to bed yesterday, he confirmed that his father attached a person to Kim San. It was time to slowly think about whether to increase the number of guards that had already doubled last time.
Or attach a tracker that can’t be removed and let him be kidnapped?
Nuuuu don’t let the baby be kidnapped.
