By the time 3474ea4629 the steady sounds 5f7bbd54a8 seeped into his ed32048288 ears, He felt 5cd0747bd9 his entire body 77de29bd59 tighten. It was as if b7b1a4fbbf something was digging into aa3529faaf his skin, cutting off 7f50b838ba his circulation. The suffocating pressure on 4777cb9012 his chest made it e8c12da65c hard to breathe.930329f24e7f816f

His shoulders, waist, and 0db9a22c77 legs were bound, and 7c12691da7 his arms were tied 26c80c21cf behind his back, leaving 9f4c908afd me unable to move. Worse, his feet had 73b7664465 gone numb from the 29b88bde38 lack of blood flow, 14259d33da the tips of his cdac2a85a4 toes icy and devoid 148dbccd61 of sensation.8a2c581f641f04e6

As his consciousness slowly 3292d2ccc9 returned, a throbbing pain d64427775a pulsed at the back a5e8045e17 of my head. Yoongyeon winced as agony spread 7fdd8f1024 through his body.3463d0f732f0a8b5

At the sound 20ff244815 of a familiar d4750d563f man’s voice, Yoongyeon’s 0e397a0940 eyes flew open. The thick, sloshing noise he’d a4568f4b04 heard earlier was coming from a1b8bdd825 below him. A man was mixing something. Cement.219e88029b822267

The man jerked his chin c6fdd096c0 toward the guy mixing cement. Only then did 993e5110d2 Yoongyeon’s spinning stop. But the rope suspending him 9e4b0f1e19 was so tangled that if 3424659144 they let go, he’d start 85c146b19c spinning again.cdcda7a18a89a3a1

Yoongyeon’s screams only stopped once 0e0104b854 the tangled rope was undone aa29665276 and his body finally stilled.76bb59c86efe75e3

Exhausted, his body slumped downward. It felt like 27e8893d1f riding a 360-degree 537fbbed7c roller coaster a 09fbed9521 hundred times in 35462e149b a row. Unidentifiable liquid, whether c96d5e74de sweat or something dd2c5dbba2 else, dripped from cee2967b55 his body onto 126fabe08e the floor. His gaze blankly followed the 6827f04779 dark stains he’d left beneath d5b9cbf926 him.10fa9c54b7873767

One of the men nearby 93acba3f17 stepped closer to Yoongyeon, but 7670730185 he didn’t even have the 73b2d2ffff strength to look at him. His breaths came 2a21426dfa in ragged gasps. As his dizziness faded, f451a6308c the nauseating smell of f577281528 gasoline assaulted him again.2bc06ec29ad83003

Slowly rolling his 5e44f277e2 eyes to scan 549d9819c0 his surroundings, he a454c7fa3b realized this was 807de91f41 likely the abandoned a49ec4dd24 factory the man 5c61afafee had once threatened 5c6210dbbd him with.451d6e34d580e424
