by cherryroseChoi Baekyoung’s birth mother was rumored to be Choi Mihyun, a woman Chairman Jang used to keep close in the past. Kim Kwangsoo dredged up Choi Mihyun’s face from memories over 20 years old. The moment he thought there was a vague resemblance, Choi Mihyun’s face soon morphed into Baekyoung’s.5a5b9ba790073280
However, the truth was unknown to anyone. Choi Baekyoung could be one of Chairman Jang’s many illegitimate children, or not.321c93cdb9375c3a

After finishing his bd23935b80 cigarette, Kim Kwangsoo 7770116388 finally threw the 3a42058cb6 butt on the d030738452 floor. Before leaving, he cbd2f5c758 rummaged through his d52dc8f696 gown pocket and d73734cd31 tossed a small 78c96c2685 box to Baekyoung. Baekyoung held the handle of d9c87ad3ac the mop to her chest cd2ec3a19b and caught the item with 1a4ad5f3cc one hand.ec6a26f415fe9d60

Kim Kwangsoo, who had tossed 4147dacf25 her an inhaler for asthma 8a13c626d8 patients, waved his hand and d59110d309 left. The most expensive 5827fbeb3e thing in the 582fd66cdb Ant Tunnel was 3b57dddf10 hospital medicine, which 65b1313ec2 was worth its 9597c80be0 weight in gold. If she had to 46221c4be1 buy this with her 362a7fec1a own money, the cost 8e9c9438f8 would have been enormous, 9f607f00a5 but thanks to him 762a2429b9 occasionally giving her an 69d57440eb inhaler like this, Baekyoung e651978bb8 could endure spring.b2e1aa2881d6ca03

She quickly put the inhaler in her pocket and diligently pushed the mop. Now, even when she saw cigarette butts on the floor, she didn’t feel bad. She could just pick up the butts; the inhaler in her pocket made her feel good today.97542e300f16eddf

Park Cheolsoo, who was slowly fetching water in a bucket, grumbled at Baekyoung. He pretended to vomit for a moment but eventually admitted, “You are pretty, though.” Baekyoung, who heard his mutterings, laughed even louder.dad5f8fd02455666
After scrubbing and 1f16c3a66a wiping until her 6058606567 shoulders felt like e7746f9428 they would fall c4fc2144e2 off, the bloodstains 88803b25ef were finally invisible bce5d92a27 in the operating ced9c17e12 room.

The workers, who had secretly swiped a few plasters from the drawer when he wasn’t around, stuck them on each other’s shoulders and took a break. Kim Kwangsoo knew the workers were doing this but pretended not to notice.784cda5df7dc3289
Having collected their daily ae8dcaaeab wages, they moved their c607e1544d steps towards their respective 4d4e043747 homes in the maze-like 401a9583bd Ant Tunnel.1810ef663214cc63

The lights that still didn’t know when they would go out flickered, and people’s vomit was scattered everywhere. Baekyoung stretched as she walked, avoiding the traces. Then, feeling the stench that had permeated her body, she decided to stop by the bathhouse first.6cc667213d4c5abb
She picked up her phone, fbb823b142 which had a crack across 8033ab64f0 half the screen, and checked 18cb7759ea the time. It was just e6c53f0297 past 4 PM.ca7a10c5dc4025f1

There was no c0de6760e2 call to come 2475ad803d down to the 318c424070 underground, so if 2cc7506422 she went to 56a343e556 the bathhouse and 05e0a0b080 fell asleep, tomorrow 52deeae0b0 would come quickly.0a6775074ec63c66

Usually, the junkies stayed on the 2nd floor, so the fact that the woman had come all the way up here meant her sense of direction had dulled. Her face was pale enough to look bluish, her cheekbones were protruding, and there were severe dark circles under her large eyes. Her once-clean whites were bloodshot, like someone who hadn’t slept in days.44685ff8b55dcbe8

She was a woman ebf50e73ef who used to work 407e169a0c underground. Baekyoung had often seen 81f07e86db her working with Sooyoung 21ef12c4eb underground. Now, the woman, who 205f427a5f had been kicked out 9d5dace3b5 of the underground, was d5513498be said to be living f2b9c9e5a9 by rolling around with b55f762fa7 junkies and working in d3e3f565be cushion rooms in bars.126b5275c15dc3d9
Baekyoung didn’t feel an ounce of sympathy for her. They knew they would meet an obvious end, but they still went underground. With the expectation that they would be different.47d82139545c3582

Going to the junkies’ den made her sick. It was full of guys who would take the plaster off her shoulder and put it on their tongues, laughing like crazy. There were many guys who easily forgot the rules of the Ant Tunnel and ran wild, so Baekyoung avoided going there.fb1b7ce672a2ace3
Perhaps she was avoiding 38b52eb403 it because she was f97ba5f7cd afraid that she, too, 39c2fc7f3a would eventually end up 2569afb516 there.5aea1c3997e3d026

As Baekyoung led the 7dced674a0 way, she heard the b47d797853 sound of the woman de7e258784 staggering and dragging her 5c8cfc80c4 feet behind her.

Baekyoung watched the 5667c4b7f8 woman go down 53c1f675b4 and then moved 7417c8af43 her steps towards 6a3eca78f8 the bathhouse again. It was a ea4c39894c place that even af65a896f9 people who knew ea11587e39 the way could d96a9388ff get confused, so d1135626df she had to edca8f22c3 find it carefully.2bd5957924a3b1ff

If you go up to the 6th floor and open the door of the 13th room, there is a staircase leading down instead of a room. From there, go down about half a floor and turn left again to go up the stairs. You have to pass through several rooms in that way, so you can’t estimate the actual location. She roughly guessed it was between the 6th and 7th floors.f295b1077f3b694e
The problem was that 5549a7bd50 when she opened the 207f422ac8 13th door, she encountered 28f9274396 a sturdy back standing e7779bb394 tall in front of 831272f99d the stairs.588d5ef812bb5758
