Chapter 243:

Gyu-baek!

Gyu-baek, who had a luxurious bath even until the last night before leaving, was all fatten up from the one month of his confinement. Even after all the trouble, he was now finally free from the mansion, and acting like high and all mighty.

Even excluding the schedule of reading Lee-yeon the encyclopedia every night, Gyu-baeks schedule was pretty packed.

Gyu-baek chased Jang Beom-hee around like his sworn enemy until Jang Beom-hee gave up and grabbed a bunch of tutors to keep the child company.

Gyu-baek was able to receive such high education and all the good quality food was just bonus. His face was as smooth as a boiled egg as he looked up at Lee-yeon and Kwon Chae-woo.

Gyu-baek, what is all these? Are these your luggage?

Lee-yeon pointed at the carriers that were following him.

Its branded clothes.

. Huh?

Also hundred science books, fountain pens, observation tools, a pair of golden toads, shoes, and a laptop.

As Lee-yeon was speechless, Gyu-baek sighed.

Its a shame. I like living here more than living with my uncle and grandpa.

Ah.

As Lee-yeon looked down, Kwon Chae-woo messed the childs hair.

Its not the place you like, its the money.

Its not bad.

All grown up, huh?

The taste of money is the best. Insects should also live in a place like this.

Lee-yeon read the ambition that was in the childs eyes and quickly poked Kwon Chae-woo on the side. But only her finger hurt because of his muscles.

Ill let you live like this when we go back to Hwaido.

Nonsense. Its impossible as that man is unemployed. The child pointed Kwon Chae-woo. I dont want to go home.

Kwon Chae-woo raised his eyebrows but it was only for a moment.

Child, who lived here longer than you? Think quickly. Youre smart.

Gyu-baeks eyes rolled.

.

Go home. I have a condition for you.

However, when Gyubaek didnt budge while fiddling with the gold sleeve buttons. So Kwon Chae-woo added.

The half of Hwaido is mine. So, you can rest assured you would live the same back in Hwaido. I need you to

Deal. Ill do it. Gyu-baek was quick to approve.

The child who experienced the end of capitalism nodded without even hearing the conditions. A meaningful smile passed by Kwon Chae-woos lips.

He sat down on his knees and whispered something in the childs ear. For some reason, his gaze became fierce, and Gyu-baek pursed his lips solemnly.

Uh, Chae-woo, dont teach a child something weird!

She went on the deck while she was answering call from Choo-ja and Kwon Chae-woo.

The time passed quickly.

She could finally see the island that she longed. She smiled at Gyu-baek.

It was a long journey.

Were home, Gyu-baek.

That was Lee-yeons last memory.

***

When she opened her eyes, she was in a dark room alone.

She got up while pressing her head. She shivered from the cold air.

W, what happened?

Hwaido was just in front of her.

Lee-yeon got up while touching the floor and the wall.

Grey cement wall, dusty floor, thick steel door. It was a room where barely two, three people can be held.

She felt like she was choking.

Where Am I?

She touched her pants and she couldnt feel her phone.

But what shocked her the most was

Yeon! Lee-yeon, can you hear me? Why are you here?

She heard a loud voice and bang on the steel door. Lee-yeon frowned.

It was familiar voice.

Ugh

Her head hurt like she was going barely remember.

Lee-yeon, can you hear me? Can you? Answer me if you can!

Her head lit up as she remembered.

Is that you? Hwang Jo-yoon?

That voice belonged to Hwang Jo-yoon, who disappeared from Hwaido randomly.

It seemed like he was in the room next to her as he sounded close. She couldnt tell how many days have passed.

Lee-yeon closed her eyes and asked.

Where are we.?

You dont know?

Hwang jo-yoon hesitated for a bit and didnt high his intensified breathing.

F*ck, this is Hwaidome..!
