BIA Ch. 90
After that, wanting to see him, He attended mass several more times just to see him, but he didn't get to see him as often as he had hoped. It was something he learned later, after he left the orphanage, from the brothers talking amongst themselves: they originally didn't often entrust altar serving to high schoolers. But when Bran served, the offertory increased twofold, and especially the female sponsors reacted well, so they purposely had him serve at major holidays or large-scale masses. Seriously,…-

Day Eleven “This is just a residential area.” Isaiah muttered, looking at the houses lined up along the street. “It is a residential area, so?” Manny said, changing lanes, as if it were obvious. “You came here for Aunt Angelina's funeral.” “……” Isaiah didn't reply. He just stared out the window with a blank face, so Manny apologized on his own. “Ah, sorry. I know, but I keep forgetting.” As Isaiah ignored him and continued to look out the window, the…-

“No matter how you look at it, stealing is way better. Reading and rereading the passage that described my eyes until sunset. Whatever it is, it’s less childish than carving the prayer from there onto your body, right?” Isaiah didn’t answer. He was just trying to put on his pants quickly. But they weren't quite dry yet, and to make matters worse, they were tight-fitting jeans, so it wasn’t as easy as he wanted it to be. He finally managed to get his pants on and was putting on the t-shirt…-

BIA Ch. 87
Bran didn't show any particular reaction. Could it be that he didn't understand what he said? Even knowing that couldn't be the case, Isaiah tried to explain calmly. "I won't kill you. No matter whose order it is, I won't kill you. I decided that before you even came to my house with that champagne." "How?" Bran finally asked. "You said you wouldn't quit WD, so how are you going to refuse an order?" "That's my problem." You don't need to worry about it. Isaiah said sharply. But Bran…-

As soon as he took off his wet clothes, the chill finally hit him. Should he have dried himself and wrapped a blanket around him? Regretting it too late, he hunched his shoulders, and Bran, who had pulled a chair over to sit, stopped and stood up again. He went to the kitchen cabinet on one side of the greenhouse and, opening the upper cupboard, said, “I do have port wine… but you wouldn’t drink it anyway.” Bran took out an electric kettle from the cupboard. Of course, he also took out the…-

The moment he lifted his head, he met Bran's eyes, a gun pointed at his forehead. "This thing?" Bran pulled back the slide and asked, "Huh?" "Is this it? Little bird?" Isaiah swallowed hard. Bran watched Isaiah, chuckled silently, then briefly gestured with his chin. It meant to stand up. Isaiah did as he was told. "Turn off the flashlight." Isaiah turned off the flashlight function on his smartphone. Next, he expected the order to turn around, but Bran said something unexpected. "Hold…-

“I’m sorry. I drank too much…” Chester mumbled and got up, saying he was going out for some air. His lackeys followed him out of the dining room in a rush as he staggered. Hailey looked at them with a bewildered expression, then composed herself and said calmly. “Well, yeah, I guess. Even if you go to the hospital, the doctors will just say the same thing. Get enough nutrition and rest. In a way, that might be the more reasonable choice.” “Rest.” Bran frowned slightly, still…-

Day Ten The traffic light turned red. Manny stepped on the brake, as if to remind me said. “I told you, right? Grace is definitely going to say something rude to you again. Just pretend you didn’t hear it. Just let it go.” “That’s my specialty.” “Right. That’s a relief at least.” He could see that Manny was genuinely relieved. The light turned green again and the car started moving. Isaiah rested his elbow on the window frame and said, “If she dislikes me so much, why…-

Day Nine “So?” Isaiah asked, closing the taxi door. The taxi driver, having received a generous tip, shouted his thanks to Isaiah, who was on a call, and then drove off. “What do you mean ‘so’? Grace is going crazy. Cedric will definitely go ballistic if he finds out, so she can’t tell Cedric and is asking me to do something, but what can I do to stop a drug addict? If I had that kind of talent, I would have opened a counseling center a long time ago, why would I be in the…-

“Do you think I only know that there’s a bullet in here?” Bran whispered, pulling Isaiah into his arms. Before Isaiah could ask what he meant, Bran gripped Isaiah’s right hand even tighter. “I also know that you absolutely can’t shoot this gun.” In that instant, Isaiah felt his heart drop. He forgot to retort with nonsense, and just stared blankly at Bran. It was because he was reminded of how, just a few hours ago, he had hesitated for a long time before putting down the magnum…-
