Uijae wrestled with the book for a long time but ultimately gave up. Sometimes, even overwhelming strength couldnât solve a problem.
If I canât read it, Iâll need to find someone who can. He sat back, listening to the rhythmic hammering echoing nearby, lost in thought.
Someone who wouldnât question me too muchâ¦
Sa-young and Honeybee were out of the question. The moment he asked them to read it, theyâd start interrogating him. Instead, he began recalling the faces of people heâd met here.
The first to come to mind was Jeong Bin. But Uijae quickly shook his head. Jeong Bin was too busy, and if he noticed Uijaeâs vision problems, heâd surely inform Nam Woo-jin.
Next was Nam Woo-jin, but Uijae dismissed the thought just as quickly. That guy? Not a chance. Nam Woo-jinâs thundering reprimands were enough to silence both Uijae and Sa-young. He rolled his eyes.
Yoon Gaeul? She might help if I convince herâ¦
However, Gaeul here was deeply concerned about Jâs health. If she found out about his condition, sheâd drag him straight to Nam Woo-jin.
And then Iâd end up confined to the infirmary againâ¦
The thought of being locked up with Sa-young in a hospital room made him shudder. The risk was too high.
Hong Yesung might be an option, but heâs too far away. No way Iâm going there alone.
The whimsical Minggijeok and Romantic Opener werenât part of the Wave Guild since it didnât even exist here. That left him with nobody reliable. As Uijae ruminated on his narrow social circle, a snide voice interrupted his thoughts.
âWhat are you doing lazing around here? Must be nice. Everyone else is working themselves to death.â
