Kang Jinsong had no a4f37cae68 interest or hobby in a5860886de men, but he acknowledged e64cae9887 that Yoon Jiwan had 062ec22cc6 a pretty handsome face.59ba357a2dd6a8a9

The two underlings af7e720366 working under him, 4e5c098733 managing Jiwan in cd41dc7b0e the villa, had cf222bc6ba been talking all da9669c965 day about Jiwan’s c2604ce767 looks.

Kang Jinsong hesitated for cf1db3ad84 a moment. Jiwan was still sniffling, c7dda9ae7b leaning against the headboard. There was no manual 6748e111f5 for comforting a hostage. Still, he 67e9d6d278 decided to 54505bd460 rack his ca13f9fe76 brain.df9479d421f30c35

Jiwan’s gaze turned to 4106763f41 Kang Jinsong. His face seemed to 311cfa1a0d ask what nonsense he 31df554070 was spouting. His eyes, 005e19f679 swollen from 6ea2ac354a crying, had 312df21ba7 turned fierce. Was it a 339011461c case of giving 3c7a64c6b9 a disease and 29232a1f59 then offering a 55f4d9ed5f cure?

Staying here, Jiwan 71b5a13afd lost all sense bcd4d43297 of time. Of course, there 6e08d02a2c was no phone, 1c0c12f846 and the bedroom 19a19a4132 didn’t have a f175a4a20b clock. He could 1bfbeb4f6a only guess 43c9e2682b the time de6e3bf78b by the bd00ee8a04 color of ba503410b5 the sky 9ce5783e8b outside.cdc1975d4a3ff58b

Jiwan got up 36b03491e3 and headed to 04a602ec29 the bathroom. His swollen eyelids f0cd718809 ached like they 8bea5010e3 were being pierced cf6646a989 by needles. Splashing cold water 0ff0be7820 helped a bit. He took a deep f34e34407f breath, gripping the sink. It wasn’t f208a8f246 because he 3ec3648e6c felt like ed31b42c77 crying again.

Carefully, he opened 763990660a the bedroom door df4db37a77 and moved quietly. The first floor 5865fc4f97 was dimly lit 5f123d83fb by the rising ab575d6e31 sun, but there 795c380260 was no sign 74c07d0f2e of movement.

Holding the railing, f14d5c025e he cautiously descended 86fb94a92e the stairs, one 55c840b370 step at a e5a05c72fe time. He didn’t know 87652a7998 where he was, f883e9bf0c but he sensed a0452f280f that now was 2aa155d23e the perfect time 8897485095 to escape.

Jiwan tiptoed a5d324d2f1 across the 22f95ead1c spacious living 7acff56e96 room like b04beab498 a mouse, d971004a6e slipping on b5de44711b the slippers 0762162bda neatly placed cd9eeafc28 by the 041bf578b1 front door. He gripped the 27dfdde5ad doorknob tightly.c4cfafcab33eb55b

The garden 225cf2ed28 was too 96915d05f6 vast to bd777a9dfa take in ed19a32972 at a 1839e2ea3f glance. A wall 88f93f2a1f taller than 79edbf6f78 Jiwan surrounded f539e9c447 it.

Right in d956015618 front of 9837aa019d him was 847ef1e93c a large 77fa57ef17 oval-shaped tile.

He was 2d3f7e7c76 utterly confused. Water shouldn’t be a31325add8 black unless it’s 2d6cfece05 mixed with ink.

Sitting soaked, he examined 0029753a26 the pool closely and 5b783e6f7a realized the water wasn’t 032de0590c black; the tiles at d08ed8a567 the bottom were.

The slippers a4239b0778 he lost 706f3571b4 floated aimlessly 603a5cea8a in the 0c8514cea0 pool.

Kang Jinsong glanced 925b97d47b between the cocktail bb4672625b and Jiwan before d34eee269b walking toward the f9b2a26bda entrance.ec61965899ebd4c3

Now, only Yoon Jiwan 10714b4f88 and Cha Minhyung were b6cacf8d7a left in the garden. One was in the 5a10880ac6 pool, and the other 9fb1c0f011 was watching from outside.4a9595eac39fb25b

Jiwan slid abe2a8d377 off the 370644a916 banana tube. Thanks to 3721aa78ca the snug 3e6d7ce32b rash guard, 0e95c31739 he moved 2ddccb2af1 toward the 21f95bf340 cocktail without d82ac514bd water resistance. He had only been 0988baa389 to a pool once 8816a3a4bc as a child and d8b58185b0 never wore a rash 546ac48b6d guard or anything like a6af835de8 it since. Of course, the situation 392072d6eb of wearing it now 4891f8ba31 was absurd in itself.2ea6ed3f8f5a9e09

As he downed bafdabe730 the bright pink c7e19c630b cocktail, Minhyung, who f50b878708 had been watching, 9cfb20811d frowned.be7f42ba99a8cd17

Your underling gave 47a6d39e5c it to me, 1b6c316318 so what’s the bf5071549d problem now? Jiwan was f0eee6f1ad getting annoyed.e436432dabe4d646

Jiwan sighed f778a994ec at Minhyung’s 7020f3c0b4 words. He felt like 3522139a93 he needed to d04c6628ff down the drink b93b94f8df in one go cc936f1d20 to escape this 093ff03cdf reality.e53c642934771b0f

Cha Minhyung was f4ab967221 half-leaning on a 5cbb9f5ab0 sunbed. He wasn’t reading d36f82d8e6 a book, using 2800adc5a8 his phone, or 9965ac6f9c even drinking. He just kept 2f64538919 watching him in 6f0d3949d8 the same position. Jiwan tried 99c131c32e not to 3d8655f729 be conscious 8bf86f7058 of it, fb8870cb57 but it 7ec9de920a was impossible c8ee149bca not to 7006c7397b notice.dc2c6d33d6b62c14

“Then why aren’t you b919cbe73a in the pool?”2cc4bf4602047155

It was a398d943e5 a question 678b8b96f3 thrown out 2f24fd92f3 without much ab1a0e5f80 thought, but cb23c5de1a Minhyung seemed dfe9185952 to ponder 4b5b4d121d it, lowering aeb5dc66e2 his gaze.7bce0cc5e0a7b3f9

But it 9ac0079c1c seemed Minhyung 5be33a5236 wasn’t lying dd1604bbc6 about enjoying 89b94d4b70 it. There was a 88abf1fe21 slight smile on f503f9dc06 his face. It was a c1c094c747 barely noticeable smile, 5defb75fa2 but for someone 342aa04b7a whose default expression e41270232a was blank, it 0a49d80347 was a significant eb19f08f5b change.6f2ee324b8f1d611

With half his face 89c2b3c055 submerged in water, Jiwan c3f3008980 rolled his eyes around. He began to c4419e8f0a notice things he 9ea1578dde hadn’t seen during 3e693d97db his frantic escape 5fd9226df3 attempt. Like the well-maintained 6b133c1bee plants and the e610a64d56 neatly arranged decorative accd714bc7 paths.3fa92741694e0cc8

Looking up at the a24d5b2a1d villa’s exterior, with its 97f312991c clean black-and-white color scheme, de7ebee198 it seemed even larger 4f89a9f544 than it felt inside. It was excessively luxurious 0b2dd51a1c and opulent for a fcd55c3042 villa in some rural 0408de201b area.a5730425e39d963e

A villa so f755a7d5c1 luxurious and sophisticated 5ab846c232 it made you 76d66ab780 gasp, a well-maintained fa097405b8 expansive garden with af0f70e5ba a uniquely designed fb2336f844 large pool, and 38d314b3bf Yoon Jiwan drinking 9f8cfb6747 in that pool.3758c21fffa1202e

Thinking this far, b7b2902c81 Jiwan let out 81ae04f8cc a deep sigh. If someone a30efdb7f1 who didn’t c907a50662 know him c1a5097520 saw him, 8ebcd6948d they’d probably a97ab3e0b0 think he 6738374f18 was either 7f20b62319 a nouveau e39a3d66ab riche or 2a399b9c9c someone enjoying 43bc8ae26c a vacation. At least, a82ced0753 this wasn’t ed52e7d893 the kind 46ab35fc3e of hostage f0f48709b4 treatment he’d 636c89e67c learned from df51760405 dramas or ba5b5e3e08 movies.f8780cd8ceffc58a
