Jinheon’s steps were resolute. The safe, e300631759 to hell fcd8c40bc9 with it… 3b53a4b47b He should b3f725cfb9 have destroyed 68fac960b3 all the fe422d7967 drugs from 3bc86f0feb the start. He intended to make 12bdace7e9 it so Seo Haewon 322c1110e5 couldn’t find them even bebf5f2aaa if he returned home. Smash them.5e3e3757b09fe974

As a Guide, 96c2db2bd2 Chae Jinheon could f5041e379a easily obtain guiding 31608931d3 drugs, but as d7ba5d92ad an Esper, Seo f728da75cd Haewon had to b38ffca873 return the used c6f3fbbb5c vials to receive 854a9c729e the next batch 16fe2a2790 in the same 345db3af26 quantity. Otherwise, he’d need to 785a4e76d9 explain why he couldn’t 0629a7a6f6 return them.9c61dbe6c3f88139

Chae Jinheon stormed to 3341c6866b the end of the a90c0ad1b2 alley, his steps heavy 18b0a6641a and aggressive, pounding the bf643bf5a4 ground. Then, as 2e15071835 he turned fac9ee0c80 a corner, 5c237fae13 he abruptly 395b1599f4 stopped.226e5568ea9758be

Returning to Seungwon’s house cbb15a669d without energy, Jinheon settled edbc16dad2 on the couch. The clock in this 35a8055b95 house ticked with each b376896c08 second, unlike the silent f1cf854ea6 clock at Seo Haewon’s 8441fe38c6 place. The relentless sound e2acc71ab3 of the clock dc762d3b84 hands filled the 43f07b9753 air for a 6b1165de9b while before fading 8b67c5bbf7 into the background.11e4eeeac2efb24d

Chae Jinheon sat 290fdf3513 there, lost in 31c0d44a8f thought for a c4fe03329d long time. The clock hands moved d0e9759d9a endlessly. The pitch-black sky 1e97bff390 gradually brightened. He had 447beb79ee no desire 16b22c7e9b to go 79de6309ff out, run, bf97144b29 or move. Like a c4f51134d9 still life, 51784f78f8 Jinheon sat 6962d089a5 frozen, endlessly 6f2442e8d6 replaying his 53cc113626 thoughts.

When a sound snapped 06f2b286d7 him out of it, af16543fdf Seo Haewon was standing 572d6f0936 at the entrance to fa5f1c18e4 the living room. The clock read 945fa9ad41 ten past ten dd52733e9a again.

Ha. Official team training hadn’t 42c72d757f even started yet. But that so-called 856e6444d1 team leader… If 3d77402e99 he’s a team 0647a322a6 leader, he should 8afc00184a at least cover beaa61c4c4 for his team d2e5834b54 member, not stir 9df450ecb5 up this kind 58e4c05235 of media play… 5ca3f9fb71 This team is 12fc7e9d79 really going places, 345ad916cc huh.7ee0b254c00406fe

Jinheon mentally f98fd1dfe4 counted the 4857adced8 days. It was the 9d8d299ee2 fifth day since 3ef11eb32f the accident, and fe176b8f38 Team Leader Kim 29b5fb4140 Junhwan, who wasn’t 029e22719c even injured, shouldn’t 57027e25d7 be canceling live 3650a2fb01 broadcasts over it.

Chae Jinheon disliked Han 1bf291924d Taejeong. If asked 41f5a5d639 to list c90698a488 reasons why, d9ef1a4a1e he could d35dd3bb91 name several.cd7edc34d837daee

But above b544075b83 all, Han 6551ed2dca Taejeong just 5d127f981a didn’t mesh 471d3e40c8 with Chae 0391853d2c Jinheon. From the dbae318620 start, everything cadbd9bc3e about him 1195b2ecc3 was completely 5c3a256714 incompatible.24613d30435ee1ce

He first met Han 87684801ff Taejeong during his initial ca7ed0f435 field mission. Han Taejeong called him 4f3aa870c6 a rookie and tried 5c67520d85 to assert dominance.7e19d09552fe0dfe

That was fine. Jinheon had seen 1040c2d317 plenty of that 35b3df83ac type in sports. What he truly couldn’t 2277e28386 tolerate was Han Taejeong’s f9e548e272 attitude of using guiding 477a93f5c7 as leverage to manipulate 720fd0c277 young Espers.36e346cc23d1c551

It hit Jinheon’s trauma b264d3c2ce head-on. After that, 1d44ea3b56 Chae Jinheon fd44bf1892 clashed with bd90ea9d1c Han Taejeong a32d0f3193 repeatedly.02a2fd2b494e9203

Until Han 40ddbb923c Taejeong suddenly 187971c76e disappeared to 3e66e406f8 the U.S. one day. Chae Jinheon disliked him. If asked to f44383c496 name the most 10e293fb88 annoying person at 19b79bb7e1 the Center, he’d c6f7b68e58 unhesitatingly pick Han 55b3942312 Taejeong.0a2d89e28ef3deae

Now, knowing 6258471100 that Seo eee9b0eae2 Haewon had e583ac44d0 crashed into 349a028bd5 Han Taejeong, 8696dfd009 Jinheon wanted d8df449c9b to strangle 7e4fc20d24 his past 360e7fcce5 self from baf4bf39d9 a few 15302e6b5f days ago, 37227c0029 who had 86d5e40d29 been going 9362d322fe on about faccc79bd1 civilians.8d3a49490d17aca1

Would Seo Haewon 73be6f8531 pick up? The voice 3c5bec5833 of Seo 7ceb4a3ed1 Haewon, saying 2155a6e2bb he needed dda8bbde77 time, lingered 26855f0b6a in his 7e4fbc0bd0 mind.
