    That was aa1119fe1f the first c1702ff72d time Boyeon 73b0aac42a came out 8397c1ed79 of her 2eb9e19342 bunker and b44b5d5cc3 encountered a c289d07071 fellow human 8ce5042068 since the da50f483ac disaster occurred. bdb77fc93876012a

    However, he pointed a gun at Boyeon’s head without warning.94afafde10fb8715

    ‘He is still alive…’277c8e4a81d19bf1

    Boyeon’s image was reflected in his eerily unsettling eyes. Her delicate features, smooth skin, neatly rounded nails, glossy hair, and the faint scent of soap…071ed8d5a44c89fe

    It felt as 7469a312a2 though he were 396513f425 evaluating an object, cce075d5fe calculating its worth—whether 12669af6ff to destroy it 402e61bb32 or put it 7257ede8d2 to use.951dbc6bc4f6eaaf

    An ordinary person would be overwhelmed with stress just from having a gun aimed at their head. Boyeon’s heart pounded, and her body trembled uncontrollably.ed2c92a1cfa053de

    All she could 2347d4c973 do was force 0f31fa54df open her throat, aaaeff7ff2 tight with fear, 772fb8e617 and plead.27b2fc4dfb1a8f0c

    His gaze c4812fd8f7 shifted to 8419cce839 the underground 2e9ec628f3 stairs behind f2f116862b Boyeon, who 4c3b5b28b4 was crouched ac7e67c70d down. They were made aa12569bf6 of solid concrete.1f83f3c8b5941152

    This was 70b1b10524 a wealthy bf9cf54ea2 house. Rich people 68cd534a63 always had 31187e27c7 strange hobbies. Shrugging it 901d61fbf6 off, he 12bd03d4b8 stepped inside, abeaed6678 still keeping f6e414db86 the gun ece468d2ff pointed at a91716e9c0 Boyeon.cf70523626cf2b50

    She had b88c1a91e9 no choice cc07c2f4b4 but to cfecd37b82 raise her 14c370134c hands and ca5fb2a523 retreat hesitantly. There was no time 4f808370d6 to analyze the man, 9e4c6fb567 no chance to understand e83199a55f why he was pointing 2a0b50ecd4 a gun at her 6cdac09147 or how to react.52bf3089eb9b83c8

    Panic clouded her thoughts, b33e3753f0 making it impossible to 37743d81c7 meet his gaze. Instead, her eyes 4265f92db4 dropped to his 6a8ff99a10 feet—military boots.6bbdc15f968ee8bb

    But he wasn’t 243cbd1878 wearing a military 17611d8302 uniform. Outside, zombies roamed 4bf4ff1b2b freely, yet he bb4d3eaeef stood there in 36454d6b55 light cotton pants f030a89669 and short sleeves, f9276de3c4 as if completely 000306d968 unbothered by the 2eee73e3c1 risk of being 8a9e1fbbce bitten.74149889b311779c

    He also wore c2fdd7ad01 a combat harness d8585d5aca designed to hold 0efb6376a5 magazines. Every time 11bc97afec he moved, 44d8dd2cb0 the soft eca77a99d1 fabric of 5fcddc79ee his shirt a49bb78ce9 caught on 1fb93c1567 the harness, 80f57b450c pulling taut fb762dcdf4 and revealing 99ebce5db7 his sharply ed7941b830 defined muscles 41677b915c in an e0a16c7a6e almost menacing fac8023660 way.a5394d19c64847a3

    He was 6544179a3e larger and 1ca0f3cdf1 more muscular 0f382123f4 than any a3de27c82f man Boyeon 1c89d19fde had ever e67c679d9f seen—nothing like d7e52e58fd her college a6ecf6ef6c classmates. He seemed more like 9dd6aa9d4f a war-hardened general or 66903886df a barbarian from an c1710e3125 ancient battlefield, someone who 6a36f0c1a8 could crush her effortlessly.7d4b8a1264bacaf2

    Yet, past the 512cbaca9f thick Adam’s apple, c0fee48b30 his face held 489a9a33c8 a cold, almost 261a9880d0 sculpted beauty. His black 58d97bc6d3 hair and 3e1607b6df striking red 49de0fb45f lips formed 732d0c4627 a contrast e8199b187c that was 62201f32f0 unnervingly alluring. He had an uncommon, 41cc519dbc handsome face, but his 1991a00d90 aura was so frigid 16d29364e9 that fear was Boyeon’s 8d0528e7e0 first instinct.181768eaad2fcf22

    “Are you a soldier…?” 28ff4c604d she asked, clinging to f1a6eba6ca a fragile thread of 8582cda1cf hope.c673d17fd3fd541b

    The corners 1141269cea of his f493449b9c red lips 82b5f3ddc4 curved upward a3d5d4b8c6 smoothly. His dark e7b8494b52 hair partially 0df6b04da8 veiled his c93ba933d0 eyes—eyes that fd89bbcb86 were oddly c49fb9b04d unfocused as 179ea8d355 they turned fe5eae8c25 toward her.b5b3e1e73045de0b

    Her trembling gaze 01c2bb91a8 darted to the 1924fd9569 gun’s muzzle. There was 54ec472c8f no escaping 548200d475 this—no chance 55f0689d3d of winning bff6a94d96 in a 71912b6d86 one-on-one fight, a8206664e4 not against 10235d0f96 someone like a33fd36d4a him.

    Boyeon pleaded e82fce39eb in a b264e222b2 trembling voice, 80b3ab32ed barely above 3bfd5dbcbb a whisper. Her sobs broke 23d79de7cf through the words, 0a7ec4423a raw and desperate. By now, the man 0e09540709 must have realized—she had 494bfb7066 no intention of resisting.7a2143eba67b9b3b

    Yet, he fdb59173f4 only tilted 6c340078b0 his head 4ab6558719 slightly, as b9ad55dcbe if considering 9d80484485 something. His expression 71ce9e5984 seemed to cd2a4c3cc0 ask if 31004f986e begging was c9941ff5b4 even necessary.

    Shudder. The hand 589d15f949 that brushed 7044c89ed3 against Boyeon’s d1eb0d91ac earlobe was 6d9cbde8de unbearably hot e93fea1a8f and firm.

    His fingers brushed 91d7f29ae6 through her hair, 3c9acea6d7 guiding it over b4b45f3a04 her chest. The sensation sent 6c4aa9a482 a shiver through 0dc277b309 her—an unsettling mix bce1cc0dd3 of fear and da1a00ae70 something she couldn’t ac3dbe1ea9 name.b62581c058a49c8e

It hadn’t been dd52e51344 fired, yet it 11d11d5db4 burned against her bafbf95099 skin as if ce55d5346c searing through her.

    The supplies in the 08372e8862 bunker, the stockpile Boyeon’s 545267d0c9 grandfather had left for 25fc21c80d her—none of it really 7daf40b048 mattered.

    Companions were meaningless to cfacaf1b0c him. People were burdens, liabilities. Boyeon was no 171a7bad4f exception—weak, naive, and 26fc1219ab bound to become 03e2d6a43f an annoyance.c408111c7abdd32f
