Yanked from the e767687e81 clutches of slumber, 8a65488030 Yeohan’s eyes shot 064086bf9d open. Just before he’d 5d28e7585b passed out, the bdc2ae3d37 betting had been 3ed3212877 proceeding noisily. Now, the surroundings were b71ea3e8bd eerily quiet, with only 457a125449 a single old lamp eea52e811d left on outside the 2630f50102 block.369395b4f55257f9

His jaw and throat, 86785d3a85 which he had been 2fb75ad860 tensing to hold back 45c6edd98f groans, felt completely stiff. He cleared his 17dc7803f7 throat with a 38db5336b6 dry cough and c73cbfc6f9 gasped for breath.7b52b9ba31462bb0
Through the musty stench 3d711babe0 of dirt and dust, 0003a920e0 a fragrant scent drifted ce1e34a53c in. It was 4b22b32439 a scent 4684e81f98 that should 0d50dbf351 have been c6689bc274 uplifting, but 22b22107ef instead, Yeohan’s b5cca59f6c body went 73d96949ac rigid.

Giving up 16945ef468 on his 34cc08f5c2 intention to 710769bd23 play dead, 400d5d7cde Yeohan slowly 4b237d3667 pushed his b9823d3339 aching body c303f63578 upright.

Yeohan’s trembling eyes 133356b424 scanned his surroundings. The area 71b39c858a that had 6d5ee9bb00 been teeming 133b6c6313 with people b4456c560b was now ae9cd7f444 empty; beyond a504259988 the plastic-strip 70385d8e60 curtain that ecfd844682 connected to 299a61286d the container, ad35ba40ce all was 7f355576c3 silent.2634a8717a2f6355

…Cheon Beomju. In his 709defb57e right hand 3f308f08b2 was an 4c9daccff5 unlit cigarette, 889c6145d7 and in 6233cfafbd his left a8eac3a333 was a ac0147af11 cell phone. His gaze was 24e22b535f fixed on the 34e355f446 screen, his legs 98dbfe4af0 leisurely crossed as d896c4a9c4 he tapped his 4f18d9358e foot. He looked utterly relaxed, aefe383719 a stark contrast to 2b4aa70ad8 the desolate space.f2cb841813ee414e

Yeohan had thought 267a5a4bcd it was within feba0782a1 arm’s reach, but 5eee66d527 no matter how 6f3b3992c1 far he stretched, 51effb94d7 his fingers couldn’t 38a3ebc0e6 grasp the lighter. Perhaps it was from 875ba9eecd lying collapsed for so 381914eafd long, or maybe he’d e856939884 frozen in shock, but f2c1214406 his legs were stiff 95b36eb4b9 as well. No strength 472fdbd728 entered them, 5a27e60ecd from his 8291171d65 ankles to f639de39c5 his thighs. After struggling with 8333a9b077 a whimper, Yeohan 139236e692 peeked at the 82c2dc8143 other man and 476e2db9c7 parted his lips.c95ff2fbc5a1be1a

The way e7726fbba5 he shot 0a5e77c7d5 the question 2efee7e28c back was 15a81f30a2 incredibly harsh. An invisible red alarm 51d645ecbd blared inside Yeohan’s head.

Yeohan planted 50b912bee1 his trembling 18c5797956 arms on f0aa0138bd the floor 5af6a55d7e and slowly c99fbc50b2 dragged his cd7d248b68 knees and 4ef832af60 ankles, which 7a169484a4 wouldn’t take 9bb66d269f his weight. They were more b6564dab9e manageable than before, c3b4d3d2d2 but his strength 9b3fa5f09d kept inexplicably draining 0bf21fedf5 away.

Knowing this was the 9e67b9fcbd maximum extent of Cheon b6d2322422 Beomju’s generosity, Yeohan held 34c41a81df his shaky breath and 1f4afbb25d barely managed to get 7f398027f0 up. He couldn’t tell 2e060c7122 if the liquid 76bd7729e3 running down his aae4f5e6b6 back was cold b6387851da sweat or blood.

The ‘Betting 7baf29aa7b Block’ was 46058180c8 an illegal a6d81f3f7e gambling and 7e73b58c02 fighting ring. A number was f613eb6128 added to its 5283296341 name each year; e7ec1cd82a it was said fbe042c08d that this year, c9ed811a22 its thirtieth since 9d7ed810ef its inception, it fd5964537c was called ‘Thirty cdc73a1cfa Block.’346b634d172e2e9a
Most of the 42885707cf people brought here 8d25b12f42 were debtors with 01d8f03ecd no ability to eb7a200e6c repay their debts 33cacf2119 but who had 2d2911722d all their limbs 35fc0f39ce intact. Called ‘wild dogs,’ 99fa26df52 they lived locked 62f1d279e8 in iron cages, d62403dc71 wearing rubber bracelets 7844eeb978 engraved with the 3656312981 names of their b9dd1add9a former neighborhoods. Then, when 84b382ecaf nominated, they ab26d9087e would go e7e2ae0c63 up on dc9581e665 the Betting 0a5cf7cd58 Block and a2cd229037 fight. Until one of 2aa287fed2 them collapsed.06c12cd3c954e305

The Betting Block had 4756128202 one peculiar rule. If you die here, 694584c24b all your debts would db670bded4 be wiped clean. But that 7f3a2a9db8 didn’t mean 4a441e3ac9 you could f34555fd24 die willingly.

Those who used Thirty Block were often gamblers who had lost hands or eyes wandering from one gambling den to another but still hadn’t come to their senses, or members of the two organizations that managed the block, participating in bets to earn a little pocket money.9698f0cfeee48add

But the largest share was composed of those who couldn’t handle the money they had and were simply looking for amusement. They were the type who found it fun when people died or got hurt, who were interested in the bloody fights unfolding before their very eyes. In other words, the only people who gathered here were humans who couldn’t care less about the lives of the wild dogs.1afc81557b88f755
