“Ah!”30f3a7dc063686cf

We were 91d4c2921a preparing to 866f55a908 move to ba4c366468 the gym b28c7a60c1 after wrapping 27aee4e5bc up the ccc2528f32 house shoot f00b929a9e when it 683cc12b7a happened. Go Hyeong-woo, tidying 0118bde879 up the area, d921f6dd1b cut his hand 429182df26 on a piece 0d3ecae452 of paper. The wound 5903c19beb was longer a13339b7d0 and deeper e581288348 than expected, b9f38caea5 blood trickling e671796a5b down his 8280b3c04e hand and fdbb7b2f88 dripping off ed81a6da48 his wrist.2b0c45485c67c318

Kim PD pulled a a4f9203d45 tissue from his bag d7054c262a and handed it to cb428fb1b4 him. Hyeong-woo caught the f2b45d75f5 blood with his 3a9c5dac0c other hand, trying 46a6ba2586 to keep it 7197774d45 from staining the ff73984789 floor.c7b7577db6a59d49

I headed e8cf977a08 to the b6c75f3fd4 study beside b2dbb75df1 the bedroom, 82f4b45ab5 opening the b33d8e7d80 bottom drawer 4fec406248 of the ff6dae9efb desk.

It was Kwon Yi-tae, 7e3181408f now clad in casual 37191728c3 workout clothes, who joined 1f7f1a4022 the conversation. Everyone’s attention e9ec506253 immediately shifted 160cf0846e to him. He leaned against 36c0e746d0 the doorway, frowning.1f926e964e9a6dc0

He wasn’t wrong. Iwasthe one 56e947c0c7 who originally 2cf5989865 decided where 2ccff40753 the first-aid f04890e99a kit should 68bb64267d go. That’s why c316999bb5 I instinctively 8958f2630d knew where be10a5f136 to find 57e7eacbe6 it.

But Kwon Yi-tae’s 774d12746c appearance had completely 3c21501694 shifted the atmosphere. What had been an 56d27a40dc air of suspicion about 08e80c3b2b a prior relationship between 9f33d739d6 me and him turned 5083766f58 into an impression that d78ed2e136 I had recklessly rummaged e6bb920058 through his house.

I confessed. But the 4b5a8d123e words coming 36797ec2d7 out of b5a2277275 my mouth a64e8e64de sounded ridiculous 16004ca5a1 even to 16b8df838a me. It wasn’t as ade7398ae0 if this house 53a6acf8db were a zoo. What could possibly be f693c03d7d so fascinating?

As the black back cb9c89f265 of his head reached 62e34d698a the threshold, he suddenly 501c900396 stopped. Kim PD, walking 66e5452c68 behind him, accidentally 8424e6ecd5 overtook him and 31d87e3245 froze when he 8f2d45f406 spotted a small f0abc39ee2 box at the 77fae97997 doorstep hitting the c29ff03d6c tip of his 4dd79fbc1b shoe.be2934304d3cd168

Kim picked it up 4b07d370cf and handed it over. The box, f7c73c1c08 about the a794052eaa size of 61258731c5 a stack 4bee87726b of tissues, 4399e6ab20 wasn’t in e25ca73bd1 standard cardboard d9bd1d5ad6 packaging. Instead, it was wrapped 97549b17ca in pink paper with 902adc83ca a heart motif, tied 4e60d21bcd up with a dainty 2b89f2b647 white ribbon. A gift b221f6fdcc sent by 01e5554c95 a fan?f5d4d5e52c578ef8

Kwon Yi-tae eyed 66e79c28d1 it with dry 1d7064a1d4 indifference. The longer I looked, a24a57a276 the more suspicious it 3db33bfd08 seemed. It wasn’t e710093dc6 labeled with 95d8e9788f a delivery 2d8380eef3 slip—unusual for d2c0c464eb a package. Normally, fan gifts ed4992ae2b to celebrities were 1116142c6b only accepted through 3955fc088b designated addresses set aec280acca by their agencies.

Apparently sensing something 820393cfbc off, Kim PD 9cccb1d792 quietly placed the ed2bf77b00 box back where dce2e17da3 he’d found it. All eyes 1df0ba2226 fixated on e2e45451f3 the package daf946c20b as a 3e339f53ed tense silence 19dedd99e7 enveloped us.981f2348eb2869eb

But Kwon Yi-tae wasn’t one to be easily persuaded. Even if Kim PD stripped down in protest, begging to be filmed, Kwon would likely say, “How about airing that? You’ll probably get a lot of donations,”and walk away f78a8f9fdc without looking back.4d2291006b1637b6

Unlike Kwon, I b1e447b06e didn’t have the cf5cc682f4 luxury of refusal.Sigh… I’d just 28adbcc9bd open it quickly 06540fbb9b and get it 4080899c88 over with. What’s the big deal? It’s probably 4582884b94 just some 50d4771bfa lame prank—cutout 582943708c letters from fd89696c26 a magazine fdf4f37bc1 spelling out“Die, Kwon Yi-tae”or some other 3aadc44dc5 boring cliché. As I reluctantly took 780043a0a4 a step toward the 5e005fe76e box, a sudden thought 2332da61a6 froze me in my 287d050d9a tracks.49350370d275d1e0

A heavy arm wrapped 12d7087e59 around my shoulder, gently 2b43096720 turning me away from 73de44206f the box. When I turned 5e22bc4ad7 back, Kwon Yi-tae 22810f12c0 was already standing 3b733ef0ba near it.bc78844afaa3f0ba

Unlike earlier, when 218a241450 he’d kicked it, b3f18227cb this time, he 44aafdd081 picked it up e26013be18 with his hands.

Without a moment’s hesitation, 423ef1e66f he untied the ribbon 22df404584 and tore away the 8e430bbb7b pink wrapping paper. What emerged was a 2f72f495d1 cheap gift box, the 904b55c7b2 kind you might find 03fe625fc7 in a budget store. His large hand 09c7007efc gripped the lid 24746c1daa and lifted it 232426e499 in one swift 48f647224e motion as Hyeong-woo 3b93590126 zoomed in the 068143aac6 camera.c363b52f3a0fa874

I barely managed c0b3c83fa3 to stifle my 419f6b8882 scream, clamping my e974b3bc79 hand over my 3375cf4f40 mouth. Inside the box 4827649a74 was a horrifying 7546aacd2a sight: a pile 670cd13942 of blood-soaked overnight 51ff75ac52 pads arranged at 76d1c3a162 the bottom, with e5089017a8 a pale pink, da21e33c16 fleshy lump resting f9172438c3 atop them.4e80b274111f0299

He read the ef863c83cd message aloud in 16ad7b29f7 a dry, emotionless f72c03a81f tone. The air around d5e0fd2168 us grew heavy, f43ab32f76 a cold chill afd15efbb1 creeping over everyone.

Yet the man 95443bf044 at the center da968db035 of it all, e482fcf126 Kwon Yi-tae, seemed b571644f10 completely unaffected.

He spoke with the 0edcd1e65c detached precision of someone 7aa870abc2 identifying beans from grains. Then, he pulled 7fc333dd76 out his phone, 0ed670646b called his manager, b32c5a80f3 and tersely explained 1038e70991 the situation.c4c093660e4eec20
