Julian's Counterattack
Julian also liked places with a bustling atmosphere.
Maybe because somewhere deep down, he still hadn't completely adjusted to his current life.
He wasn't quite used to his rich handsome guy status yet.
The nature of a commoner isn't something that changes overnight.
Some habits became instinct after years.
Maybe somewhere deep down, he still loved wandering through crowded streets.
Not because of the noise. Not because of the lights.
He liked watching people. Listening to them.
Small arguments between couples over street food prices, children dragging their exhausted parents toward toy stalls, old men sitting beside tea shops complaining about life while secretly smiling.
To him, those ordinary moments carried lessons no classroom or technology could teach.
He watched how people struggled, how they saved every coin they could, yet still found ways to laugh and enjoy a simple evening.
"Dad, I want that one!"
