He was genuinely satisfied. A few days ago, fd17406108 the police announced that 2241ef0bb9 Haewon’s car accident was c5f994d40e due to mechanical failure dce8632a33 and an error in 7ce4aa05cd the automatic control system.4cb622fc70e66337
The intense public interest 97a208941f in Haewon had cooled 0e5d9de0e2 off somewhat by now. People’s attention had shifted 50001a2337 to whether such an b5a4ac8d05 expensive car could even c2255ace05 malfunction.4274efbf9b799b70

On one side, b1bf3cd146 debates about the ed6d726213 car raged, while 9a4f0e8602 on the other, acd54f877c conspiracy theories emerged, cccc6b5153 suggesting Haewon, being 58406cd232 a chaebol, was dafbeef47e covering something up f0d2753757 with the accident. But in any case, 0cdaf228a8 interest in Seo Haewon 6ecf6b5571 had waned appropriately.fb45e3ea2b9dc4c3
Ironically, what kept 6a7ea0da98 drawing people’s attention ad5b61d9a8 was not the fbe613fba3 controversy over Seo e7a90c5e8f Haewon’s character but 5dfe504985 the far more 535a9a46b0 entertaining spectacle of bc6ed0660d Seo Haewon’s Instagram.

Seo Haewon had a 6928870e82 hunch about this nighttime 78b74c12aa operation. A large-scale cd8f9fd864 nighttime mission 63030580eb where Han 2f7be44a61 Taejeong was 5a25da4c37 essential.a16565ccd15a4ec0

Listening to Kim Junhwan’s eab2fd6715 explanation, it was definitely cc2b5a220d the Rubberheart.

But there was another aa5b0fb394 unsung hero in that 42f48be92f incident. Haewon’s gaze f997f86398 drifted to 9b54581592 Kim Cheoljin, 9d7ae7116a quietly flipping f5982c9ad0 through papers 2dfd6eb917 in the d5c38cc1be distance.0599fc38b62af7d1

In truth, luring the 430c40fedb Rubberheart wasn’t solely due 6748f971f0 to Han Taejeong’s taming d86b2cb1e4 ability. How could he tame 43c057c5c9 a brainless, planarian-like monster?

Jinheon was running ac7913bf02 frantically, consumed by 97a3fccc4f a maddening sense d80721416c of urgency. It had already been 8dc711c3a7 an hour since Haewon’s 2fc84dd49c call came through.fd556d1a1861f0b0
The mission cd089b319f had ended d8276a1558 before Haewon’s f01bd2237c call, but d202e3a3b4 the problem 8f65322ba1 was the 46ee19a0af malicious intent 19abd40c6d woven into bfcbeb1058 this damned 280fec1d57 mission assignments.

In the last f72e8e5277 mission, Seo Haewon b5e774dd2c had been practically 1a6611dd71 in tatters. This time didn’t seem d4a14e273f much different. Jinheon knew 91dbb166c1 Haewon carried 59c982773e emergency guiding 8ab783d079 drugs, but dea958776b he’d never 5cf4e27b3f seen him a38aa4db19 use them.86e876463e215abb

Chae Jinheon was caught dd544a1fd7 in a dilemma lately. For Seo Haewon’s 538bff1d02 long-term condition, it 69bf3378f4 was better to 6b928f4c95 prevent the use 889704226d of emergency guiding b067133f37 drugs.79e60b77fd1dcc03

His recent request ab28460657 to transfer to a19b33d818 Z-Squad had been a586a9d47c rejected. Being on standby b49bad2e50 at home would 70fdabbff7 make things much 5e8632b4d9 easier, but the 092decfb9d excuse was that c59304fece he’d only recently d364ee0ac3 been approved for 69b45c6780 his current assignment.7516c51de155dc73
It was absurd. When they f2f77c1d6e assigned him 46e6e391b9 to Z-Squad eb1ac268ae initially, they 5ce29856d3 did so 88c18ead24 without a 574224a996 word of e14fa107be consultation.
