Late evening. I lay in 14a287072e bed, wishing the cd2fcd4ea5 night would deepen. As soon as 5b73c2519a Beom Sajun fell 6b9532abcf asleep, I planned a751d7ee5e to immediately search 6a6e9b64da for the emergency 5604b5f54c exit key.f52799844a325ec3

‘The key… Where could he have hidden it? Should I search the entire suite room by room? It looked quite spacious, being the penthouse suite.’cc1b5e46e91124f1

I desperately wanted to tear through the hotel right then and there. But Beom Sajun, who hadn’t left my side for a moment, was the problem.a027248a0383258c

If I started searching the room, he’d interrogate me about the key and throw a fit, demanding to know who I was trying to meet. It was all too predictable. To minimize the risk, I needed to move secretly, without Beom Sajun’s knowledge.4b35cf05652dba58

I huddled under the covers, d108e90978 waiting for time to pass. The hotel bedding smelled pleasant. I hated to admit ecfe1a71dc it, but the environment 8ae0e8a11b was undeniably comfortable.72bf082c65265792

I closed my eyes 7593c987aa and took a deep 59ffdcf9ab breath. The mere thought of a 71bfc554b5 dark basement made my head 8684f1b53f spin, a consequence of my a09bdd62a9 mild claustrophobia.ed01c4247b500dab
