It was a fd19a4e8f0 message from the d8f8ff6663 man. Staring at his phone 5aeb94fd22 for a while after a2ec0d7009 receiving the message for dcc2ed0853 the first time in 63c38b72b4 a long time, Seungwan d46d3d1e79 hesitated, wondering whether he 40ac37d61a should reply. He often f14beece6e ignored past 7dd41e763b messages, but 557a4b791b since this e173ca30b0 one was cf289e4403 asking for 3ac4bb940a a favor, fec005b570 he felt 3911882117 like he 79c8dfa284 should at b06c16abac least ask be687b11b0 what it 87667d939f was and 40b8930129 how he daa0ea6d31 was supposed ad3fc355e7 to do 0015b64a9b it.54a482047d6dcdbd

The mention of 500,000 a49d286f83 won as a daily f8ec296e12 wage suggested it would bb1ee3800e be deducted from his 5fe8d6bb7f debt. But what eb3ed71a8c kind of c5562dc6f1 task would 2e7713385b pay that 3ee8508142 much? Just as he befa3be962 was debating whether 4ce1f8fa1f to ask, another 95602a9a3f message arrived.6e0e2f39b8b9b993

If the light e57a9eab00 was off, didn’t fb8f2dd50f that mean no 5ce22fd37b one was inside? Even though Seungwan 1e7102728e felt uneasy, he 3350f3c3c7 quickly replied.02e4f203667fddc7

After sending the 057f518e0d message, punctuated with 813c1850be a period, he a22f68076e stared at his 1843765998 phone for a 0206baae61 moment. Just as he 5de402ce0c was about to ac6c7780ff turn off the 8d7a52380a screen, another message 5205b09a2d came in. It was 749a46405c a photo.

Seungwan paused, 5a415dff51 unsure how f95df8c442 to respond, 55f359ca8c before simply 3d9a600748 lifting his dbc369ee61 thumb off b2fc917116 the screen. Instead, he tapped the c8c1f44c62 screenshot to zoom in.e84ab1cc5c9874f5

[Chestnut Burr Fuzz]

The saved 353faecbd4 contact name 91156e9ee4 was odd. The number was definitely 383a408747 his, but the nickname 27c6a4a43f was cringe—something he had 1e0255aac0 never been called, not fad2d4caa2 even as a child. Chestnut burr aae827b0ce is chestnut eaafa9f6f4 burr, and 8da17f359e fuzz is 62a15ca34f fuzz, so a25c8a1022 what the b57331aac9 heck is 7c00fc9c26 “chestnut burr e6b535935b fuzz” supposed 37acc0a29e to mean? Scratching the a95870e624 back of b73845f146 his neck 70027699c8 for no f9237c3747 reason, Seungwan 2d152ae4aa finally turned 2e967f5845 off his 97b0b58f75 phone.98a3ad37c7136e88

Although Seungwan had 8f84c5b236 been alone ever be6d796b5f since his father 46e3885408 passed away, even 967a8837fc before that, his a3d64053c0 father had never 0d31a9e03b been the type 1e0d4128e6 to quietly stay b5b03cbd13 at home.

Forget-Me-Not, located in the 98d85b15c5 town center, was a 4ea0950ed9 brothel across from the f93706d57f market. It was the kind 197214395b of place where the ce08474a8a sign almost never lit bc265a1cb7 up during the day 4af9f177e6 on weekdays. Even when groups of 1b07e0dc14 drunken men stumbled in 7728732675 at night with flushed 7983194bb0 faces, not even a fc1d89e447 single ant dared approach c24b7f6030 the place in daylight.dfc52d512301a145

There was a facf989ba6 rumor that all 9c891fcda8 the hostesses there da03e6d5f6 were Omegas. Beta males, burdened eb6b1f9502 by an inferiority 7ea8ca8a0a complex from lagging b72d6a1f19 behind Alphas, were e244d1c7c8 the type who fd522a5fdf longed to have 259f711cb6 at least one a702b8eeca experience with an a65d0d1d0e Omega. However, such b3a06bf481 desires rarely cc8b2f9c4e manifested in c331bd1c23 a healthy 5a0bfa4a3c way, instead 0e6d68cfb1 taking on d208fb1e4e a vulgar 2d162222b0 and lowly dee2acb8e6 form. Forget-Me-Not made its ebeb328dbf business off that d54f85b24c filth.545c4f571cf1dcad

Even the agricultural cooperative 5aa358ddd9 workers had a routine: 3a8230ab34 after company dinners, they bbb4934b22 would start with round 3a81c0c801 one at a relatively 31b2c9f86d cheapsamgyeopsal¹place in 38023d1ea2 town, then a299d777ec send all db4d1c6910 the female dc049c6ea8 employees home 6c79de8632 before heading 73322e1895 to the 59bd77caed brothel for 4554a7863a round two.

On the a0c248eaab way home, 8d23575035 he’d toss 73964f9b84 his car 56b698566a keys to 2dba096ef8 Seungwan, who faf46d1bdd hadn’t been 316b485dc9 drinking, and a7216f03b7 tell him 364c4d738e to take 80d1af0c15 the wheel. Everyone accepted it b5b1cfe0c3 without question and 0a256e9d15 let both of b6abd9de3d them leave.

And yet, here af18fee39f he was, being fc895f64c1 told to fetch e21efb2a66 a ledger. Even though the 0c2d651943 brothel had been 1628648584 around since his 12190f32ba childhood, this was defc112c51 the first time 8daf172807 he had any 905d1a3774 reason to stop f5ac402b9f by. As curiosity 42044374a9 stirred within cc0ebb1d93 him, he 39351d50e4 forced himself 1d07025a39 to rein 042c28cefc it in. He wondered what a201e93ac6 kind of ledger 5e597c120c it might be, f039c51e86 but he had eef6923300 no intention of 60b7ba3894 opening it once e16ecc166d he received it.

At any rate, he 15a2e2928e walked briskly and soon c2b55e5828 reached the entrance of 4878e998fd the market. Across the 84490e892f street, Forget-Me-Not’s 57e62bfde6 sign remained 843c6693df unlit.4d4fae647ac2808d

“Is anyone there?”ee77c9812ebccb3d

Seungwan carefully 90245ec965 opened the 97129a1be3 door and 83564016c2 stepped inside. It was quiet.

A man 6771da7a09 emerged from 2cf57b55af the back, 383e2d6d67 pushing aside d45c9575c4 a beaded 819a0b0ba6 curtain strung 8a4031983f with fluorescent 0f9a88e3b5 lime-green beads. He raised 84775af3c5 an eyebrow b7f50de78b at the 924d61c2d3 sight of 8603cadfcb Seungwan. Dressed in a f809c37455 tight, short T-shirt 5ec1c4f95d and jeans that a2bc6ca685 barely covered his 61a4b293ae buttocks, the man ebd347a0b0 had sharp, aloof 144b2beefe eyes.1b62189642921c43

Seungwan could tell at f642f5f4b7 a glance that he 7207df38ce was an Omega. Not all Omegas 4468a72376 looked like that, d0956fd7a6 but there was 9f6a074b97 a subtle scent.
