As instructed, Kook set the three pills aside. Now, he had to wait. Since he purposefully took the pills at night, he’d also start feeling sick at night. With no more pills to take, he was going to start feeling the effects soon.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
P.S. Don’t fight with the sleep when you get sleepy! There are fools who would do anything not to fall asleep. But sleep helps your body’s attempts to heal. So, the better you sleep, the better you’ll feel. Don’t sleep more than 10 hours, though, that’s poison. If that happens, try to walk or get some fresh air even if you don’t feel like it.

Kook had often pulled out the note to read it when he was sad or lonely, wondering if his grandfather would write to him like that. This had happened so often that fellow travelers had asked him if it was a letter from his lover.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
I ended up memorizing it all. *said to him*
Relaxed, Kook smiled as he finished his short bath. The trip had been arduous but so enjoyable. he had also sketched several drawings, although he hadn’t been able to paint them.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Let’s do what I want to do.✊
Wiping himself dry with a towel, he smiled. he only had a year left but it was still precious time to do the things he wanted to do. he put his clothes on by himself and slowly headed for the door. Outside, he found Fang waiting for him.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Please take me to my lord. *politely*
Following the butler’s guidance, he entered Tae's office, which was filled with the smell of paper and ink. It held only the bare necessities and no vases or ornaments adorned its walls—it looked bleak.
Kook, who was not particularly interested in decorating, sighed when he took it all in. The room was painted in a drab gray shade that he thought would make anyone working there depressed.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
☁️☁️Maybe that’s why...☁️☁️
In fact, if the duke’s rudeness stemmed from such gloom, he could understand. As Kook approached him, Tae-hyung raised his head. He hadn’t noticed before but now he could see how tired he was. It made sense that he was rude.
FANG (kim's butler)
Should I prepare some tea, my lord?
FANG (kim's butler)
*bow and left to make tea*
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
So let’s hear the reason why you came all the way here. Why did you leave your home?
Tae put down his pen and sat on the sofa in the middle of the room.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Do I have to explain?
Kook asked cautiously, looking at tae’s face.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
Shouldn’t you be ready to persuade the owner of the house where you’re planning on staying for a while?
He tried to think really hard of a reason but he didn’t have a good refute to his direct question.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
Did you have an argument with your family?
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Something like that.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
Then what is it? I can tell your determination is strong, since you persisted for two months to come here. How bad was the argument?
It seemed that tae was convinced that he had a big fallout with his family, but that was only half of the truth and there had been no big argument. he needed a peaceful place to prepare for the end of his life, away from his family. He was also guilty of wanting his family to feel sorry after he died. He didn’t want to say those things out loud.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
☁️☁️It’s quite petty of me.☁️☁️
he felt that he was being childish and rude. When he was objective about his emotions, he felt bad. So what if he was childish and petty? Those emotions were also part of him. Kook had decided to embrace his feelings.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Everyone needs time to cool off.*said casually*
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
The timing is bad. My estate is at its busiest during the winter. I won’t have time to look after you, My lord.
Koobs eyes lit up when he heard the answer he was looking for.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
That’s perfect!✨✨
His arms crossed, tae stifled a smirk. What in the world was this little boy muttering about? He pressed his temple with his fingers to relieve his throbbing headache.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
What did you just say?
JEON JUNG-KOOK
That it’s perfect. Speaking of, would it be possible for me to live in the annex? Your butler lead me to the room next to your own, but I think it would be uncomfortable if we ran into each other.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
The annex?🤨🤨
Tae seemed to warm up to Kook’s suggestions—he responded more accommodatingly than before.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
It’s been a while since it’s been used. We’ll need to get it ready for you.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
When you say the place isn’t ready, does it mean the place is dirty?
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
No, we keep it neat and dusted, but we need to designate employees to work over there and stock it up. It’s an old place, so it’s missing amenities and needs a general makeover.
Listening to tae's words, Kook pondered. he didn’t want to be seen by anyone or to be a burden when was going to be sick for a week.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
That sounds perfect. I will be here for only half a year, so there’s no need for decorating. I just need a room with fire and warm water. I don’t need maids either. I’m quite independent.
Kook's voice was filled with excitement in anticipation of getting what he wanted. Tae’s look of annoyance didn’t even make him (jk) uncomfortable.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
This is the most enthusiastic I’ve ever seen you.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
It’s amazing to hear such a compliment from my lord, considering the first thing you called me was a "‘spineless jellyfish.’"
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
You still remember that?
How petty of him (jk). Reading his gaze, Kook understood his thoughts. he blinked.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
☁️☁️What kind of man is so rude?☁️☁️
he understood that he (tae) was tired but he was starting to feel frustrated with him (tae).
