I'll say, Wooyun thought but kept such to himself as he was still in the presence of a sect leader. Even if they were nearing a master and disciple relationship, he knew he shouldn't be crossing the line.
Baek Junghwa might appear casual and laid back on the service, but Wooyun had read the book enough to know he could become just as cold and domineering the next second. He was not the kind of man to be trifled with.
"How was your time in the Guhon Forest?" He suddenly asked, his gaze lighter now. "Fulfilling I'm sure."
Wooyun didn't know whether to laugh or to cry at those words. Calling his experience in that Forest a fulfilling one would be the greatest laugh of the year. He spent endless nights unable to sleep and had to fight tooth and nail just to survive. The word 'fulfilling' was the last word he'd used to describe his life over the last seven weeks. But of course, he couldn't voice these thoughts to the man before him, at least not directly.
