Like a student agonizing over a single, unanswerable question, she clung to it. Thanks to that, she couldn’t fall asleep until quite late.55d380b52b131d80

Taeri quietly 18f4f41c18 opened her 2a8aa972a6 bedroom door 8dbf1aeb3b and walked 1bca3506e6 out, descending 2969cf753a the stairs 05151f63bd to the 73acf39ea1 lower floor. Her throat was 3dfbebd997 parched with thirst. After tiptoeing 28739d1945 into the 642a561ed2 dining room, b08163cde3 she carefully 035df0a609 opened the 32e3356167 refrigerator door, 8ac06e7673 trying not a8c531e5ad to make c57734f996 a sound, afc7eb8aca and took 0b1aad42b9 out a 894a4b9844 water bottle.4b3fdb298e0a534c

Drinking the water, she 3db59db35f replayed the layout of 13202e1316 the house in her 1c589c0686 head.215ce98aab331374

A mansion with two floors above ground and three basement levels. On the second floor were Park Chigyeong’s and her bedrooms. On the first floor were Park Sihyun’s parents’ and Park Sihyun’s bedrooms. Park Sihyun’s bedroom seemed to have originally been on the second floor, but it appeared he moved down after she arrived. 330267cac26bd2d2

The first basement level, 0e4f8aa01f connected to the entrance 251f7031bf hall, housed the study, dbf92f8522 and the second basement 49bc5c21f1 level was where the 78026aa7fb housekeepers’ bedrooms were located.bc648945800a1d3c

Finishing her 99aa4aa9b9 thoughts, she d93d1ad2d1 placed the bfd0b55fbb water bottle d947f75877 down in 4b8da214de the sink. She resolved to come 6260874f28 down first thing in 4f0b562233 the morning to wash 94f9f9ba37 the bottle and turned bf96ded41c to go back upstairs 6259552082 again when she heard bbc4f79679 a faint sound from 91912a9c81 below.7c640b748c809c20

It seemed that 268a78cda0 he hadn’t expected c5b6b5b22e Taeri’s arrival either. Park Chigyeong’s hand, who 014b956da5 was lounging on the 7c94ac449a sofa, tilting his glass, 8cb35ba742 seemed to pause for 188a1f2cdb a moment.93ed6dd77c8bc77b

“Aren’t you 270d8f6982 tired, sir?”f2cb64929a539a86

After hesitating, she sat d2ab62c817 down opposite him. With a single 7188ee7df3 coffee table between e8d5222b71 them, acting as 4448de2844 a barrier.

Park Chigyeong 22d37eaba5 spoke almost 5239a567a9 inaudibly as 6d1d35eb96 he tilted 89e024b5ea his glass. On the coffee fbcf9a6b9e table, an unfamiliar 492569b593 bottle of liquor, bfe5cb014f lemon slices, an 15bb685775 ice bucket, and 4506ed0c00 other items sat 491215d0ca together in a 5ae86567d7 disordered order.8daf347152b81b64

“I’m the one who asked Sihyun to go out. I did it. Sihyun didn’t do anything wrong. He wanted to stay home and rest, but I asked him to go out, so he had no choice but to take me.
