Chapter 15: Chapter 15: The second phone call
"Oh, are those the hands?"
["What?"]
Jeong Taeui reflexively responded with so excitent as the person on the other end of the line gave a short reply.
"Those hands."
Jeong Taeui pointed to the corner of the screen where the white, delicate hands appeared. The hands lifted as if the person was looking at them.
"Your hands are so beautiful that I recognized them imdiately."
["Haha, thank you for that. It’s the first ti in my life I’ve received such a complint, so
these hands will be very happy."]
The man on the other side of the screen laughed and spoke. The voice was still chanical but not as heavy as the first ti Jeong Taeui heard it.
["Is Officer Jeong bathing again? It seems like you often go there, you must be the favorite nephew."]
"No, my uncle is not here. I just co to read books. Because my uncle’s room has a lot of books."
["Ah. Officer Jeong’s hobby is quite decent."]
The white hands leisurely tapped on the table. The nails looked as clear as glass, very cold; Jeong Taeui really wanted to touch them once to feel the cool glass-like sensation on each fingertip.
["Do you like my hands that much?"]
"Huh?"
["Your eyes look like they want to devour them."]
He laughed. Jeong Taeui also smiled and shrugged.
"Is it that obvious? No, they are very beautiful, but they don’t suit , so I can only admire them."
Jeong Taeui spoke beforehand in case the man ntioned again that after he died, he could take the hands once more. The man smiled satisfactorily as if he could read all those thoughts of his.
Jeong Tacui suddenly beca curious. People say that by looking at soone’s hands, one can sowhat understand their life. What about this man? He didn’t think the man would have to do heavy work, but if it was desk work and holding a pen all day, it didn’t seem fitting either. People who deal in old books might do so dirty work, but those hands and dirty deeds seed completely unrelated.
"Ilay...?"
Jeong Taeui blurted out his na. Now that he thought about it, this was the first ti he had called the man’s na. He still smiled and casually responded: "Hmm?"
"When I told my uncle your na, he looked a bit confused. It seems you have many nas, right?"
["Ahahaha, really? Let’s see, because Officer Jeong doesn’t call
by that na. I only have one na. I haven’t done anything wrong, so there’s no reason to use many nas."]
