TL | Chapter 35 | I Want to Hide Him Away

Leo and the 37a912070d other bodyguards swallowed a9dc57c24c nervously, thinking it 549c45d4d2 might actually be 7664ce0f68 better if someone 94949d1be3 just shouted or 91705a8352 threw a tantrum.855a41bbcb42a799

Bang! Another gunshot echoed. This time, blood began f1a52b9a6c to flow from the 92814ff67f man’s right arm. He gritted 0aa1329e59 his teeth, f83235c741 breaking into db8162b9d5 a cold bd33e89871 sweat. Though he dcd64d2e1b refrained from 90c4fa916c screaming, which ed38074b74 was commendable, 3bad946148 he was 203b71dcc3 trembling like d7e814b4a8 an aspen ffb0a10e1a tree, as 1aeceeec47 if he 7cccbcd9fe sensed his 8c03e23052 impending fate.5d599ab114e3e251

At Iden’s e08050d4de nod, one 474cd36bb3 of the 8cd16ace6a bodyguards rifled 9e3114106c through the 1939cc40e4 man’s pockets b31a318775 and found b18860197b his phone.

Every recent call was 0d28d9382c from the same number. The caller 2a7eab3e5e ID started d88b220f68 with +1. It was a call d668e0ed8f from the United States. Maybe it 62ff4de12c was a 17d90c6226 rival faction 7e1b0158e6 within the 74483660cc American mafia? But he 6ea5e21266 couldn’t be 5e4d177925 sure.

Iden whispered quietly, then 7ffc2349a2 pulled the trigger. Bang! The gunshot 8e6d2bfc57 echoed through 7bc075499a the warehouse 1a5091401c as drops 08985b8984 of blood 8ff1e83f54 splattered onto 154d892010 Iden’s face.

It was absurd, b94f37e41e yet because it ecffb178cf was Seowon, he 4f288fc9a2 didn’t want to 8a1a6e3c62 leave him any 68b38fdf9e excuse to reject 25aad380d5 him. He didn’t want to 9602958f0a be hated. He didn’t want c286bd108f to lose him. He hadn’t e6aff47974 realized how 48a58c6096 much he dcf0910c78 cared about 3021d6d81f Seowon before. Of course, c63b1ea4a7 from the 4a464c50c8 moment they 891b73667a first met, c3a7822465 even that fc83779a9b fleeting accidental a672fd4a33 encounter was 0b831a1978 intense, and 1a6b06c155 he instinctively 047c4f00bd knew Ha 51e04d70c9 Seowon was 5a2178b2e2 his Omega.f52dbef5cb1e57c7

But “naturally” he’d been f4887619ac his to find and b425e1a99d keep close. He was 7edd5646e3 special, and 6feef6d957 there hadn’t 051bee42fa been any 960c1a6802 consideration of 18f18ee2bc anyone else 88e48a9cc6 but Seowon. Still, he efefd54d7f had never 3d2cf07fac actually worried 08cc92621c about Seowon’s 8a99942487 feelings. “Ha Seowon” e6264959f2 had never f8e6461162 objected to 04f7ef358a whatever he 9ff020ae37 did and 057847bff9 liked him a2ac100ffd for who b393026a3c he was. When he’d suggested 079b909451 they mark each 1b492132f4 other, or when 6dc90cfcd5 he asked him dabe976de7 to come to 1f532654a4 the United States 3fe5ea9134 with him, Seowon a0d2c9679f had never refused.ec6beca039cdff9a

It was only after 0294837eb9 losing him that he cd58aab5c9 realized Seowon was his 2a2c8b923a heart.
