The Widow [Johnten] ✓

14 | After Math

Johnny told his servants to make sure to feed Ten, and tell him if he is ready to leave his own room. It took some courage and some time, but Ten eventually came out of his room, but he would rarely give Johnny attention, or even eye-contact.

It was like any other day, Johnny would try to talk to Ten, but Ten would always give him a cold answer, or a blunt.

Dinner Time...

The two were eating quietly at the dining table.

"Ten-," Johnny spoke before getting interrupted.

"Johnny, can you pass me the kimchi?" Ten asked, as he shoved another ssam in his mouth.

"Oh, here," Johnny said, giving some of the kimchi on Ten's plate.

There was another silence of eating, and then Johnny attempted to feed Ten once again.

"Ah~," Johnny said, pushing on Ten's lips.

"I have my own food," Ten said, eating his own.

Johnny's lips formed a line, and he put the lettuce wrap down on his plate. He suddenly lost his appetite. Johnny got up, and left the table.

Ten was still eating, taking his time. Wondering if Johnny was gone. Ten snatched the wrap from Johnny's plate, savoring it. Then, it got him thinking, how much he didn't cherish all the times Johnny would feed him.

He wish he would've eaten it earlier, maybe Johnny would've fed him even more, his own wraps suddenly became flavorless.

Ten left the dining room, returning back to his room.
