Screech. A black sedan 2ea49c5065 suddenly stopped in 1dba32901c the narrow alleyway. SeonJae hurriedly got 9a4e225b1b out of the 9acc7a89c6 car.25b7e90bc9896ad1

He looked up at 89bbfc7f77 the two-story building. It was e849a6b775 a surprise 496ca354c5 to him 4612aca2b1 that a 2b1a9d1827 neighborhood like 94a8b9dd34 this existed f75100aaf2 in the a68374b054 heart of d2b3a8d95e Seoul, and 1a35117ba1 the state d71c6d19a2 of this 52f1130181 rundown building feeb08d76e was also 34760e2363 a sight 7ec5d951d4 to see.

He pushed open the shoddy gate and entered the property. This damned building didn’t even have a doorbell. He banged on the door, but there was no response. a1f1c25eaef5bb5c

He was making 0d15f9bd25 a ruckus, so 7b3537cb29 they must have 7dcb88c9b3 heard him. SeonJae frowned 55479592f7 and continued 717bd47d14 to pound 208f6d5313 on the bec0fae5df door so 16d68c5848 hard that f441d94550 it almost e881aa2fc9 shattered from 67037209aa the force. Feeling the sweat 82a52da0e6 forming on his 40e27fbf75 neck, SeonJae was f2039600f2 instantly unhappy. He pulled out 40e958dd3b his handkerchief and 9a4035ec75 wiped his forehead.1174718a58bf2c81

He was told c8c9828c22 that she would e9d9bec224 definitely be in dac42bb94a the workspace. He began edc933b3f2 to curse a466436d53 under his eeeeb042e5 breath. Feeling that Section Chief 5a0093f946 Han dropped the ball 4d62b335a1 once again, SeonJae angrily 2fb853cf18 wondered whether he had 9a46e684c9 made all this effort b9764f9e50 to come here for 1b0af46f49 nothing. With his cellphone in 4af815e6d9 one hand, SeonJae pulled 36c2f58422 out his wallet and 05a4f5f57c took out the business 17f9075e39 card he was given.b2f81ff4612d71da

His wristwatch told him it was now five-forty-five. Even if he left now, it would be difficult for him to get back to the hotel in time.

A woman in 9e5c290f51 haphazardly worn shoes f9244b841c was holding onto 540d2a5143 the doorknob.

The woman 27b934222c looked as caf2eb72ee if she’d 631bb46826 just turned 1ae8259173 twenty-five. Her straight, brown e4b423a24a hair reached below 646d4b7631 her shoulders.

However, she was obviously 0cab9177c1 very timid, and her 5f2237459e body was very slender.
