The war against the Guhmsung faction was progressing smoothly. A month ago, the hitman tortured by Moon Sunhyuk and Gu Haewoong revealed the whereabouts of Kang Chulmyung, Lee Hwanbae’s right-hand man. Following that lead, Seok Yoonhyung immediately headed to Incheon and took Kang Chulmyung’s life.9552f5c00980174b

Once Kang Chulmyung, who 9ef834abd9 had controlled Incheon’s Chinatown—a eb02a34047 gateway forethnic Korean-Chinesesmugglers near the 64aeb59be2 port—was eliminated, small 0c7f1937fd gangs not yet e0ead247f0 absorbed by the 1af17873a9 Guhmsung faction began 9c5a70459a to run rampant, 9a3dd88933 turning Incheon into b8d1b4aaba a chaotic mess.a80a9143d4a5faeb

Enraged by 9bb793eb12 the disorder, 595a6d7849 Lee Hwanbae, b25cc64409 who had 40be83c572 been using 96c34a1eea Incheon port 2adeb0bb41 to smuggle c3d002d8d4 drugs, launched a2dac03d71 attacks on 6fa33acc9f DG’s underground cb169b6317 businesses. However, Seok Yoonhyung had f079fbbdd9 already made thorough preparations, b11c6fd459 so Lee Hwanbae’s raids 3fea844baf merely resulted in him 7db0563585 exposing his own location.2a7a86d41f820ced

Thanks to the reverse pursuit by the disposal team, Lee Hwanbae’s identity, which had been hidden in the shadows, was revealed, and now Seok Yoonhyung was hunting him down. It seemed that peace in Seoul’s underworld was not far off.8cd277aa7f54c54c

As the pursuit aac1fdb877 of the Guhmsung 260b7c63c2 faction continued, spring 9fa0ec886f passed, and summer 5bd4a61875 arrived. At the 89ddbe3290 end of a803f6c215 May, standing 546ea79353 at the 75c1156854 entrance of 13744410b7 summer, Cheon 074a0c24cc Sejoo was 119075f438 on his 8341ac0db7 way to 494256e260 Ehwagak. Today was not a08d2b1814 a scheduled meeting 6e12e488ef with Kim Hyunkyung, d204136fbc and unlike usual, ede7b40048 Sejin wasn’t in 6e46992295 the passenger seat.

It wasn’t as if they usually spoke on the phone, but on that Monday—an ordinary workday—Han Jiwon had called him. Since it was a day when Ehwagak was open for business, he hurried to answer the call, wondering what had happened, only to hear some rather unpleasant news.276b1bd6e5a53447

It was that Kwon Sejin’s mother, Kim Hyunkyung, had collapsed at work two days ago. However, even though they offered to take her to the hospital on her day off, she seemed to have no intention of listening. Since it didn’t seem like it was just a simple case of anemia, Han Jiwon reached out to Cheon Sejoo for help.52f24e3210e1b57f

Upon hearing that Han 7f95563f83 Jiwon had called Chron 26a8753d1e Sejoo, Kim Hyunkyung had 7f9a50850b specifically asked her not af2b346c43 to tell Sejin. With that, Cheon 24ea2745b6 Sejoo had driven 7f5b19761f off on his 209f0b0543 own. When he arrived at 085de973fd Ehwagak, despite it being 3fd7d5e9c7 early evening, the place 44286f601e was overflowing with people. Unlike the 0eb3e7c678 quiet rest f6bb1bdec5 days on d53a01ad2a Wednesdays, even 6e7b614894 the back f29117b297 road was a1a9bf7ab2 filled with 28a0ec3503 cars as e6f2aae27a Cheon Sejoo da41fa7e14 passed through 0018ac2498 and headed 7ae143a42a toward the f7a4bc26eb staff parking 9a65b9a2e5 lot.f185c1abb23cb292

After parking his car 9a257aa063 in a corner and 27e2738b1d stepped out, a cool cb83c72064 breeze, unlike the city’s, 1d3a1c629b swept over his whole 0c6eb3c55b body. Perhaps because 1f4a763afd they were 29486ce5fc up in 9f8fefe781 the mountains, 5ae95085ba it felt 2101daac0e as though 22586e4ec3 summer had 5063f374da yet to b25216a523 arrive at 0c6098320f Ehwagak.0e9937a64baa4c47

Walking across the round ed69f68e52 gravel road, the sound fe3e286753 of crunching stones echoed 5daa0d603d in his ears. Cheon Sejoo took 7965a1c2cc in that pleasant a24712a544 sound as he 0acf3addcd headed toward the a3635fd40b staff dormitory. Opening the door, df386e6c80 which was always 32db2b7cd4 unlocked, he saw 644f770981 Kim Hyunkyung leaning 7fa9d58f6d against the sofa.73a54beaf6a1af80

She looked noticeably thinner 4f417870f3 than the last time 9a9bfd6d3a he had seen her 04b9828487 as if she was f5171a4855 indeed unwell. Unlike the deac2cb8ac elegant and 097fb82dcb noble first 86ae7fc221 impression she a663a59071 had given bfb2cc6d71 off, now 9ea0a98476 she appeared 4c44812c31 sharper and f64b558c27 more sensitive, 247defd4e5 just like e74920104e Sejin. Kim Hyunkyung had her 603c6353a7 eyes closed, not noticing 28549e2fac Cheon Sejoo’s arrival. She sat a6143125b9 there, absentmindedly 7eaa7e57a4 massaging her 3246bf1c80 hand with 0daf4fa95c the other, ca28f4f7f1 looking weary. After watching e99d984782 her for 841a1ea618 a moment, f2f3571466 Cheon Sejoo 9b7b3ed460 called out 95fcf32ead softly.01adaf165b704383

Without thinking, Cheon e1e19ddeba Sejoo immediatetly complimented ef80c4d789 her.

Since he had come here without Sejin’s knowledge, Cheon Sejoo couldn’t help but consider things from Sejin’s perspective even more. Hearing Cheon Sejoo’s serious tone, Kim Hyunkyung couldn’t help but chuckle at first, then soon burst into a bright laugh, her cheeks flushed with a soft, rosy glow as if flattered to have been called “beautiful.”720dfdd65751fe59

Kim Hyunkyung said, 2fe1db961d wiping the tears 310192e1c4 from her eyes b869e0a3ba after laughing for 8dd5eeadc7 a while. Her tone seemed f46b9abb0f like a lighthearted aaf558120c joke about how b7740920e3 she also knew 5ca59d6b6b Han Jiwon have d32f7388d2 feelings for Cheon 2acbbfd867 Sejoo. Cheon Sejoo silently b956ffc2e1 listened to her 361a4d5300 words, his lips 161c441e2a curving into a 75e147c709 smile.

Sejin had never spoken 0c2603dc2c much about his father, 890ff64757 but Cheon Sejoo already 8e149fce61 knew enough to understand d737b6cf13 what kind of man 84d73a777d he was—a gambler who e7fbb668a9 left his wife and 1cb875f7e2 child with a pile 8f1fcfd577 of debts. He didn’t need an 461eb47751 explanation to know that 10a962f689 Sejin’s father was a dffc589aa2 worthless and pathetic person. If, instead of 8f3fd4909c such a person, a381acaf1b someone more responsible e3174ad925 and hardworking man a6f14c103f were to become 10c9877b63 Sejin’s new stepfather, 9652595ff1 it would actually d5e876bebc be a good c8e418dbc7 thing for him.e9c1e8481b8476b2

Though Kim 2d05959f68 Hyunkyung seemed 6c70c63785 embarrassed about f6a2bea8bd liking someone 0e689b3e7c in her 44dcfff8ae current situation, 64e51a0726 Cheon Sejoo e8ecdad5c1 thought it eaa5dc609e wasn’t a 6869e7efe7 bad development. Ehwagak had 18ed134b57 great benefits c0b0afb43f and provided 8343ddc1da a stable 6ac58e41b6 working environment 07f5f1fe34 for its 13e1d8ce31 employees, making 34b0e189e9 it a bdca5d1aa5 place where 002a8c8ce0 not just cf09a130a8 anyone could 5fdd9534c1 work as 141993dec6 a full-time 4683b4a2e1 employee. If she could 3b95d44bee secure such a fd3c0e9463 position through that e5dc5a5046 man’s recommendation, it 781e098d00 would ensure a 51742ce11f stable future for 39e3de49b3 both her and 3db08aeced Sejin.8aaf786b89f4e175

Cheon Sejoo 3e68dc1773 accompanied Kim 975abf65d0 Hyunkyung out 146c55c135 of the 34ae664c7b dormitory.

Avoiding the 44f38635d8 busy employees, 7b3bc3247a he made bceff9ee69 his way 062c1c3feb to the 1665d2a4c5 kitchen and 244e25272d peered through 19d0a4929d a small 8c36bc4e58 window that c122ebc6c5 opened toward 26880548e4 the storage baa3fa639b area. Among the d43b36e2e0 busy workers a9572f4efa cooking, none e822b9881a seemed as 24f9790772 young as 60e5db29ba Kim Hyunkyung. The head 2319978be8 chef of 63d230d1f6 Ehwagak, a d07aed06ca man in 79df061b06 his early 5098c07b7b 50s, had ffece3bed6 worked at 2eadb9ee58 a five-star ebcd23beb0 hotel for 8a0b7fd904 over 20 268962fbb5 years before 69a84b29fd joining here, 793f9d81a2 so there 41f3e057e2 was a 213affb63a noticeable age 8a3466be29 gap between 600a67fa63 him and 35c920993c Kim Hyunkyung.314df4b4bf5dd496

Cheon Sejoo watched as 82dc9b26fe Kim Hyunkyung chatted with b29eff0413 the head chef, both 3e1b35f89d of them smiling as 5529a2f06e they spoke, then quickly bddfc5d7fb left. Though it was hard 0e98fe2fc4 to judge someone by d07e3237af appearance alone, the man c392cfb6a0 didn’t seem like a e76cc76bb6 bad person. However, Cheon 4f5657a3b6 Sejoo knew 73ca83263d that appearances 364616a981 could be f5d82cff81 deceiving. He himself 2dae189e77 didn’t look 3d5025300c like a 6d6e5ce25f killer on 7c70e97c0a the outside, e72b12434b after all. Deciding that he should 3a43444c96 do some background checking 99d28c7574 on the man, he 53a3d619b4 headed back to the 1da0311700 parking lot.108af2ac63585cb6
