Baek Ho-gun was at a loss for words.


    Although Baek Ho-gun wasn’t someone who spoke much, it was the first time he found himself at a loss for words like this.


    The child, as bright as the morning star, was smaller and weaker than Baek Ho-gun, and yet despite appearing intelligent enough to realize this, the child treated him as if he were less than an unwee guest.


    However, despite the child’s behavior, Baek Ho-gun wasn’t angry, perhaps because the child’s radiance was so overwhelming.


    The child was staring directly at Baek Ho-gun through the lenses of their sses. The child’s eyes seemed to contain the night sky itself, and Baek Ho-gun found himself gazing at them, as if admiring the sky.


    When Baek Ho-gun didn’t react, the child spoke again.


    “Once you’re done watching, leave.”


    The child’s second sentence was an unspokenmand for Baek Ho-gun to leave.@@novelbin@@


    Baek Ho-gun wasn’t angry, but he wasn’t nning to leave easily either.


    “No.”


    “Then shut up and watch.”


    “I don’t want to do that either.”


    The child, having judged that Baek Ho-gun wasn’t someone with whom one could engage in a conversation, turned their head away.


    Perhaps thinking of the next move during their “conversation” with Baek Ho-gun, the child immediately ced a chess piece on the board.


    For the next few moves, the child’s concentration was fierce.


    Baek Ho-gun didn’t interfere, only watching silently.


    Though watching might have been a distraction, Baek Ho-gun didn’t care. If a fight couldn’t be won with even one observer, it was a fight that was never going to be won in the first ce.


    After some time, the child spoke again, but not to Baek Ho-gun.


    “Check.”


    Baek Ho-gun didn’t know much about chess, but he was well-versed inbat.
