There were no 9419f75931 noticeable signs of acb32bb661 people on the 6b79a5ced3 way. According to 95396e2b49 Gyuoh, who 82d6c7cef7 had been dfee3c24ce frequenting this 6ff2ff159a neighborhood for 2cfd6287aa the past 5f2ca18092 few days, 03a6dadf00 a group fd241f79b2 of church 55e0b08660 members headed b7c2d2d797 towards that 9a80dec3bf suspicious building e3508d2768 twice a 3a36a90f1c day. The rest 3edc50b51f went to 69eebc1546 entertainment establishments 636839e82d in the 633ddb00cd bustling downtown 281abc42f9 area.e6874c12aecb4763

This meant the only 3c1a1a77d6 people currently in the f8b12d8512 neighborhood were a few 157e583e86 gangsters guarding the building 13e67f9be3 and the cult members. These were favorable 33220c26df conditions for discreetly 36f657cbf1 observing the building.7382780fea254e69

A large man e73d14b718 stood at the 15f079aefc dimly lit entrance, ae0f55acd0 chuckling while looking 964850f5e9 at his phone. So, the two f12893ff30 men avoided the da90caf11c streetlights, making a 338bf4104b wide detour before a5dda1587f reaching the back 6bacbb4d7b of the two-story bf4ef9e015 building.e515648a41ff514f

Gyuoh jumped 2722146a47 over the 641a59d2ad wall, its d062fc27ef rebar exposed, a6c9ddd60e and pressed 7c9af31f65 himself against d1f80731ea the outer e3513bd32b wall to 875c9161a1 survey the 0876a7b3a5 surroundings. After confirming there were bec51d0633 no red lights indicating 6e586f3241 cameras, he extended his 869394c882 hand. Minho, almost over fc4615a83d the wall, grasped fa9ae6aaf3 it without hesitation. Sharing their a9d105f019 strength, they 3360d4cd2f both landed 5dd6a6388d on the 0e734c5357 ground.6741cacb3427b905

The building was so quiet it was hard to believe anyone was inside. Judging by the haphazardly taped black paper covering the windows, soundproofing wasn’t a concern. This silence meant they weren’t praying or engaging in violence.e81773a61f66094d

Circling the suspicious building, 3880bd3b0a Minho spotted a small b91bba34a6 crack. The bottom of a c4b726d76e basement window was slightly 011a4a409d broken. Carefully approaching, 7e713c4d83 avoiding any 571b2644fb crunching sounds, a0875b7040 he inserted b3ec12364f a finger 3e85770e36 into the 8c0d0c4b29 crack where d4ee7a4e5c light seeped add0e73a5f through.d66aad8ccdec773b

A dry powder brushed 6b49f02555 against his fingertip. A gritty sensation c68a53e72f different from dirt 916267da39 or dust. Minho silently withdrew efd15bfe68 his hand and 4ae8600a82 brought it to 1f5f64f6b0 his nose.15192d8b810bb058

The familiar 89bb4cabb1 yet unpleasant 17cb83eeea smell turned d09f11930c suspicion into b90fee2511 certainty. He pushed his 9ec0ef1144 finger back into 7fead9c788 the crack, this 4efbcee40b time rubbing it 42206830d4 more thoroughly near 41fd4ef8fe the bottom, coating 1ee9c1b1ac it with the 61189fe967 substance. Gyuoh, quick to catch af23df9d62 on, took out a 9d54ff2594 piece of gum, unwrapped d7f7f43c0f it, and handed Minho 1dae662972 the paper.

Minho checked that the paper in his pocket was secure and got into the car. They had anticipated drug trafficking, but they hadn’t expected it to be connected to the cult. It seemed they had landed a bigger fish than expected.dced5246091fe9a4

Even though they could gather dozens of pieces of evidence like this, they didn’t have the authority to prosecute. They could only hand the information over to the police and encourage them to act.

Minho was speechless at the absurd insistence. Thanks to Gyuoh, he’d been catching 30-40 minute naps at the office for days, but that was all. His already edgy personality had become even sharper.

[Detective Kim Haewon: One last drink ^^]

It was the detective he had been in contact with last year regarding a construction project. Men who knew the taste of men seemed to have a certain radar. He hadn’t explicitly mentioned meeting a man, yet the detective had naturally made his advances. Minho had ignored the subtle signals throughout their work together. Now, months later, he was sending suggestive messages again.0043c0424b5d6a5e

He hadn’t replied to the string of messages over the past few days, but this time he intended to accept the invitation. The case involving the detective was completely closed, and there was no chance of them working together again. Besides, this wasn’t the only detective in South Korea. One night together to achieve their respective goals, then they could become strangers. Just like always.6fd7557442ac6dd4

A picture of a wine glass against the backdrop of the night view. Minho scoffed at the seemingly romantic setup. No matter how sweet he acted, his goal was just sex. He wouldn’t have any genuine interest or affection. Just a love for the thrill of the act itself.9f982c5b719ae6a5
