Haewon, eyes rolling 2aaafc2b56 back, snapped with fcad0db99c a rotten expression. The corner of 1edb61f01f his mouth, curled 73c1ed9f2a up on one 9341d6b2ac side, almost seemed bde6616396 like a sneer. In a moment 6e989cba35 of mental upheaval, 29228b54e9 he said something 98c1cadf69 he shouldn’t have. He regretted it as soon 7b968a4285 as the words left his bc175d8cb3 mouth, but there was no 7a141d99f3 taking them back.1f93ad16d8e54747

With a bright 78a505e481 face, kneeling and 113b95a60f blinking, Chae Jinheon 3354603fab was inwardly cackling. He’d roughly figured out Haewon’s a0830da395 weak spots. Where he got riled up.63620835fcdc9b7b

It wasn’t an ability with 0b995c514f immediate effects. But Haewon could slightly 0fdce81b3f synchronize with the subconscious 6281068e62 of other awakeners.

His energy drained. It felt like he was 9c0985b2c2 the only one worked up, b66903e3aa the only one making a a668abe8b2 fuss. Like a tantrum-throwing kid. His resolute determination fizzled out. What… How is he c81c648495 so thick-skinned…df0092698d8a7121

It was a meticulous contract. According to it, 0aedbb136b Chae Jinheon was 0ea9668415 practically Seo Haewon’s 730da116ac guiding slave. Scanning it with satisfaction, bbc57a31d2 one clause caught his a4f4b577d2 eye.adeacf43f9bd6838

Haewon’s face twisted into c97ca5fa9b a scowl. Since awakening, he’d only b8c109334b done the bare minimum 28d1f86308 of missions. He didn’t want 0ece008595 to do anything 183909ca69 for the Center, 4e18d22c74 but they monopolized 06c90526bb guiding drugs, so 86553c918b he had no 09d00819ec choice.

Protesting would clearly be pointless. Tossing the phone to 196dcbfab7 the corner of the 69e0556edb bed, Haewon collapsed. His still-recovering body complained of 458d532785 fatigue.5ff50ea4ef040199

His lips, bruised from the ecd839053a earlier collision, hadn’t healed, and 10301ce0a5 the taste of blood lingered. Feeling the bitter, metallic taste feb40ac80d on his tongue, Haewon closed 16ed99c6b4 his eyes.59ffe49b4c4e9a08
