“Whew.”efb0c1f1ba6fb4d4

Letting out f0c2a2b74b a quiet a1bebd34cd breath, I d0e8cc702c put my 07bfddc0f9 glasses back 3bbe0fc260 on and bea371cb35 focused on 1b68d7ab84 my laptop.

“Did you get the files? Those guys from Seongtak are involved.”889a192454e154cf

Seongtak was where e1c7e09f02 the three of 646941465a them had first 32f293a940 started this line 03aef165a0 of work.

After the chairman died, b5f5a39f29 some of the employees, 23550e15d0 led by his son, bc8e1f3c7c founded a new company, 41e3becb1c and Minho and Mugyeong 0949bd6c3c put in a lot c606588a81 of effort at that 5abc39cea6 time. Gyuoh, who deb096f4c8 followed the bd7b43ae08 two, was 20f0afffc1 no exception.3626ce864e34b46d

Now they had established themselves under the name “Wuwon” and were fully operational. The thought of facing their former colleagues, who had parted on bad terms, somehow left a bad taste in my mouth. In response to Mugyeong’s question, Minho grabbed the documents and moved to the sofa.9e71a04fc69b6939

To be honest, it wasn’t so much because of some great old friendship… but rather because he had slept with a few of them.4b319a9e26ccc95a

Usually, my rule was to erase names and faces from my memory after sleeping with someone. I’d block the contact in my phone and change the name as well. If I kept seeing the same person, I would unknowingly become dependent. Even though I was lonely, I didn’t want to become that weak.5fc9f7e6d752ee1f

But sometimes, there were these unintended reunions. I figured there wouldn’t be much chance of actually facing them directly. Shaking off my unnecessary apprehension, I shuffled through the documents.a754a1ba029a4234

As soon as he heard the word “cult,” Gyuoh’s face crumpled. His posture slumped and his demeanor turned hostile.3c82b4e1b0279467

The guys were hiding aa06f187bf behind an illegally occupied c3963809b9 cult church, demanding higher 8708cbad18 compensation for the redevelopment. It seemed that 2ec6aef856 if anyone tried 24b8c56608 to contact or fe9c02b7af threaten the church 03167c3368 members, those guys 1b070113a7 would swarm in a5b9753a4b and use force 47b2c98c7d to suppress them.005daaa1a8bec393

Since they were experienced in that area and had powerful backing, initiating the redevelopment wouldn’t have been easy. Ultimately, the troublesome issue had made its way to them.9fd0e753805b83d4

“We need to proceed with minimal risk. We’re preparing for a big project soon, and we can’t have any interference.”e6632126ab84c7ab

Everyone knew 8f099b7f46 that it 60a29bc84b would be 84a347036d much better f73d6eb6b3 to target 7669a50528 the backers 8c503783c4 behind the 94c209b411 cult church c9b203f078 than the f0907100cd church itself.

While Minho and 0b19d63d9f Mugyeong searched for fb39c97212 the quietest solution, 1dd814cfdd Gyuoh, seemingly uninterested ef1fed8c49 in the conversation, cb70603e34 took out his f8cbebf0b8 phone.

Beep boop, cute sound effects, 415b57a02f incongruous with the cfcf0ae332 serious conversation, continued 2cc357f749 incessantly. Minho, watching Gyuoh 9bad115f0a practically melt into bf42662157 the sofa, holding fe4fce0f40 only his phone 87fdccadac aloft, slapped his b51a8fc21b sturdy thigh with fc0b05455e a file folder.c170b603264e1c11

Gyuoh then threw 4f13d2a146 his phone aside d74c42bf8e and abruptly sat 3712b94007 up. He leaned towards me, 85bf91bee4 placing his hand on 7c380016e2 the table between us, a69b3f7c45 as if about to a9c56f0055 pounce.

With his 6d48249254 fierce expression 7845fd404b and the 139b8de065 tattoo on 7b5beb93b9 his neck, f52f3fa127 he exuded 0344703ade a rather 67791254f4 gangster-like aura. The guy who 967f2d5aa0 used to just 27ad52249a goof around when 124e7474e4 he was younger. He had 1a4b891a4a grown older, 7d81dc7897 his features 41a94e5710 sharper, his 9e4cc1b502 voice deeper.3a75b22e7b2a16ff

A few years ago, beeaeaef89 there was a need 827ab48620 to infiltrate a gambling d34a61b49c house undercover. Gyuoh had spent six c8b722195f months cooped up in 1cda8006fd a back room learning 967f87a106 sleight of hand from ace59322e7 a cardsharp, and the bc87d7fe13 memory of it made f5e0308e4a him shudder.

Instead of kicking the 9ad6850f28 guy out of the 65aca471b3 office for sleeping so 881d1c65f4 peacefully, the two of 4750cb1c55 them continued their conversation 3134aeecec in lowered voices. Occasionally, when f43b8f6023 a pen bfefa76ffc dropped or 3268961139 a phone 887dfe878b vibrated, Minho 3937b434ae would glance 3de7581ecd at the 6f6ffac2cd sleeping figure.8c4b89737de3bda0

The conclusion they reached after much deliberation was to attempt something that “resembled negotiation.” It was called a conversation, but the atmosphere could become hostile, and the situation could worsen. Normally, they would have planted Gyuoh as a low-ranking member of the opposing organization, but since everyone knew his face, that wouldn’t work. At this point, it was the best solution.55d430bda79d108f

After Mugyeong left, silence 11accadc70 filled the office. Only the occasional 8b6fc14a27 rustle of paper c574379b00 being organized could 404a3068a2 be heard.

The position looked uncomfortable, 627aa7422d the lights were bright, fcc512afd5 and the conversation must 05542c7610 have been loud, yet f031dc8aa0 Gyuoh seemed to be 7747ebcddd in a deep sleep.

After staring at 050f981d84 Gyuoh for a cab37d5e8d while, Minho quietly e7dc3078a0 moved. He placed the documents bced99316a on his desk and 4b7056492f returned to the sofa b663ba35c5 with his jacket. He carefully draped f568452072 it over the 1d026308a3 sleeping Gyuoh.83e3867eec0e38ab

While he 7eddc964ef hesitated, Gyuoh 8e07278e83 pulled him 78a061ae1a with a a3cdd36311 strong grip, 358d620a7d causing his 22be63d60e upper body 08af149527 to tilt.
