"Let's go. Your dinner is ready."
Alpheus felt empty when Sir Junshik Hyung indirectly rejected his request for a hug. But he couldn't do much, nor could he force Sir Junshik Hyung for it. It was him who wanted more warmth anyway.
Cha Junshik saw the disappointment in Alpheus' face, and he added, "I will give you another piece of raw meat for your dinner."
Alpheus' face finally brightened up, and he nodded vigorously, "Sir, thank you, Sir!"
Alpheus wiped the last tears in his eyes and quickly followed Sir Junshik Hyung to the dinner table.
The smell of the rare steak was so strong for Alphie that he had already forgotten about his dramatic cry before.
He sat beside Sir Junshik Hyung and then started munching his steak without hesitation.
Cha Junshik was relieved that Alpheus had returned to his normal self again. They ate together in silence, enjoying the dinner until they were done with dinner.
