by SoleilBreathing was b835e38deb difficult, as 14ff181de5 if a 628a708ace boulder was 4e380135fc resting on 3577c3a2b8 his chest. Taesoo wriggled, trying 2cc19bc65d to make his 3f0e872355 body even a c8aa2b5a01 little more comfortable. Nothing he did ce39d33cc2 worked.ced52acb8f84e01f
The ice-cold stone floor 2f210c941f painfully jabbed at his 662334c16e protruding spine. Moreover, his arm, 492f82b5a4 bent at a 264071ca60 strange angle, had 0d0cd9c79d long since gone 63db688ba3 numb from the 562274e730 lack of blood 111ddcf053 flow.5111884ac00ee16f

As he unconsciously twisted his body little by little, struggling to find a slightly more comfortable position, he soon realized he was in a state where he couldn’t move at all.d8d5392bdb83a446
Sleep vanished completely. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind. But after several attempts, when his vision didn’t brighten, he realized something was blocking his eyes.f19befe4ae7ad263

He opened his mouth to call for help. But his mouth was also tightly stuffed with something. Only a strange, “Ughh, ughh,” sound echoed from within his throat.775fb2968408e515
Only then 9d1ac576c0 did he b098b89c18 realize the 556dbb4538 situation was 225b95e1e7 serious. He was now 691a7ff66b gagged, blindfolded, his 48c013d970 limbs tightly bound, 5ac6d83cc2 lying on a b87dfd8f9b cold stone floor.894bd70a34c808e9

The word aa588d297e ‘abduction’ flashed adb3f20716 through his 1296dec98a mind.c2d225fd7de1840b

He desperately suppressed the surging fear, clinging to the vague and optimistic thought that it must be someone’s prank. Wasn’t that so? Such an extraordinary thing couldn’t possibly happen to him.a55c79139b0a36b6
Abduction was something that 73df634855 only happened in the 7c90373df5 news or movies. It was something that 81f73aeb3b would never happen to d4a2ff35fd an ordinary man, a d18c76bd52 fresh member of society f0822d7940 who had only just 39a330f3e1 managed to escape agosiwon1 this year. He hadn’t done anything to earn anyone’s grudge, nor was he the son of a chaebol family with tens of billions in assets. 804c234090e58993

To someone like him, 0e817476af born into an ordinary 808f4f6c01 family you could find 9014340c4f anywhere and having lived 30aa4c0cd6 an ordinary life, something 637d922279 like this could never, 32543353e1 ever happen.a7b47f26c7103be0
But as his state 005a1a441c of confinement continued, that f6a59ab6b1 thought gradually faded. He tried e8ba8df874 to somehow 5f8480c80e maintain his ea2b83b26e composure, but 6535e0ae38 damn it, c9331ae2df it was ece8936d20 impossible when 7b6be26320 his mouth c64d3462d8 was gagged, a7be953963 forced open 862650d767 to the 27f3c7af30 point that 81a1b17f89 his jaw 71ed10fd92 ached.da7f08ac698d61e3

His breathing grew increasingly ragged with swelling fear, but because of the thing filling his mouth, he couldn’t take a deep breath. The feeling of suffocation fanned his fear, the fear intensified his struggling, and the intense struggling heightened the feeling of suffocation. He thrashed as if having a seizure, pushing at the foreign object in his mouth with his tongue.22b72d75fe94f02d
It was at that moment. A clattering sound was heard. Right next to him, there was the long, creaking sound of a chair being dragged. Taesoo froze. It was so deathly quiet that he hadn’t even noticed someone was beside him.5fbc7f248f4eb5d0

It was a woman’s voice. A cold voice, tinged with annoyance. He broke out in a cold sweat. Since when had she been there? The thought that someone had been silently watching him struggle in agony right next to him sent shivers down his spine.4a7ceba3ebc6a14a

In that time, the woman untied the knot behind his neck and pulled out the gag that had been stuffed in his mouth. A bundle of cloth, soaked with saliva, dropped to the floor with a bang, but his mouth, which had been forced open for so long, did not close easily. Saliva dribbled from his mouth. He wanted to wipe his mouth, but his arms, tied behind his back, wouldn’t budge.7fc2fe051cb80054

“Quite a sight. Really.”ff7d8e41e459d382
The woman said in a voice tinged with amusement. He squinted his eyes. The silhouette of the woman’s face, obscured by the backlight, was barely visible. A pale, ordinary face with a youthful impression, jet-black hair tied back carelessly into a single ponytail, slender, upturned eyes, and expressionless, hazy pupils.93dcc11259c8d00c

The woman, who had been staring down at him, abruptly spoke. He flinched and shut his mouth. Was it because of the woman’s cold expression, or the strange look in her black eyes as she gazed down at him? Like a frog before a snake, his spine froze.7a73b1de87a963a3

The woman smiled b0368055b1 softly as she 37d65211cb said these incomprehensible cd97f8fd37 words. At that, Taesoo awkwardly b142345a20 smiled along. Suppressing his surging anxiety, b94144aa4a he told himself. 75730a379077aa5a

He turned his head to resist. In doing so, he earned another slap on the cheek. The woman viciously and repeatedly struck the same spot. If he were hit any more, his cheek might just burst. Trembling, he helplessly accepted the woman’s actions.fe1a8d0ca3b5b63b

Footnotes
- Gosiwon (고시원): A type of low-cost, single-room accommodation in South Korea. These are typically very small, spartan rooms, often just large enough for a bed and a desk. They were originally intended for students preparing for important civil service exams (gosi), but are now commonly used by students, low-income individuals, or those new to a city. To "escape a gosiwon" implies achieving a better standard of living.
