If you did the delivery work well, you could make a lot of money. But after Baekyoung saw the corpse of a person who had died suddenly after a drug capsule burst inside their body while transporting it, she didn’t even look at delivery work. Perhaps that’s why delivery work was mainly done by gamblers or drug addicts who were desperate for money.844905d106d7f9c2
