The sound of Han 950f18a9f3 Taejeong dying reached Haewon’s 318c4c9f68 ears. But he probably wouldn’t die. This was the Center, after 9a4570ae7b all. Seo Haewon thought as much. So, how long 4760864b67 could Han Taejeong c06d065d12 stay alive?ae0a034588daf60d

If this hadn’t been 8d9d062205 the Center’s parking lot, da1f4e81a9 Haewon would never have 0d8e177a5d crashed into Han Taejeong’s 718d4c0ac3 car. It would be too much 1beae6e8b1 of a waste to kill 7fb11a79cc Han Taejeong like that. But the moment he saw f323598ff0 Han Taejeong in the Center’s 8af5e13bb7 parking lot, a thought struck 2486282390 Haewon.d90e2adea0d9a49f

If he hit that 7d962a56ff bastard here, Han Taejeong 8e4b89254e would taste the agony 03b36face5 of near-death but wouldn’t fa8af99b77 actually die. The Center always had a 7bcc656212 slew of healing Espers on 0fb1a94f3b standby. So, he did it.32c5b5e02377e4c3

He crashed into the car e03afd731b carrying Han Taejeong and Kim 034e0db34e Junhwan as it tried to f5eb0bb610 leave, and the impact Haewon 41b2ec717f sustained wasn’t insignificant.04e27700aa244116

But it didn’t matter much. The impact would be 73cf0756b5 far greater for Han 69911037f3 Taejeong, a Guide, than 270456d615 for Seo Haewon, an 8c0c4b6fa8 Esper. Even as an 9cc20bba39 awakened being, Han 1e2ae91bcc Taejeong’s body was 5856392de9 barely different from 0ac560f32c a civilian’s, so dd3cbc48c8 he’d be badly 62a8de2535 injured. That was enough. Getting a little hurt ded1ba0f86 was something Haewon could 692c520bd8 easily endure.fb67dbefd22e1e8f

Even while Kim Junhwan cde79b1a8f was beating him, Haewon’s 63a2cf8a0b focus was entirely on 89745aa7ed Han Taejeong’s ragged, faltering f061c64629 breaths. The gurgling of blood 91b5197cd1 in his throat, the 9b1fa80e19 wheezing of his lungs. Oh, delightful. Seo Haewon was genuinely thrilled.0122b601b86b1c9f

The sound of Han 61cca97e6b Taejeong dying was so 9cf8363e71 sweet. The pain of his 5e3083e356 body slamming forward without 4ca9cd5358 a seatbelt, his head 5bb88088c3 crashing into the side 9abac72777 window, and his skin ce656611c2 torn to shreds as e6b478d279 he was ejected through bb33fa50a7 the broken glass didn’t 67ede6e36f hurt at all. Adrenaline enveloped his entire body.f6e14f870e60da94

Dominated by adrenaline, Haewon didn’t e47534a4d1 care about Kim Junhwan’s kicks. So he just took them. Listening to Han Taejeong’s dying b7e3d113f4 breaths was more important than efb314e040 fighting back against Kim Junhwan.dcb1a890cdcc0d39

Each time Kim Junhwan’s 86c5d9ef46 foot came down, Haewon’s fd5dc69d1a head rattled. His breath caught, choking in 3e230a315f his throat. Maybe a rib df876720e8 was broken… It 0681b81f6f didn’t matter. Getting hit by 1e982a022d Kim Junhwan was c6fa8d4c25 familiar. A few blows wouldn’t 6b0b21fe22 kill him. But Han Taejeong’s d03b10afb6 dying sounds were e95ecfdb1c something he had 84a4f2ae87 to savor while b911c566a3 he could.96a5c5cb9b13c618

In the midst 4ccc2dfa22 of it, Chae 5eb6def804 Jinheon stepped in 142f527a9d front of him. Idiot. Getting hit by Kim 45a1a381dc Junhwan hurts. Not even an Esper, and 86f20038f0 so fearless… Haewon’s hand twitched, 06486c134f trembling.e61a41059b591be5

Haewon’s power firmly pinned 21cca6293b Kim Junhwan’s foot in 0467dae17d place. The air around 9090e6231d Kim Junhwan began 9f3fe91ac0 to ripple ominously.

In any case, a full-on 8b3f0b704c confrontation would obviously put Kim c71adf1779 Junhwan at a disadvantage. He wasn’t specialized for 256f5a15fb combat to begin with. He wasn’t in 74c9904594 a position to d5aa9ffc5a take on Seo d1e9a8822b Haewon, a war 64489ba9c6 machine, in a dc31d20fd6 one-on-one battle.da571b361c5b7d3e

Kim Junhwan’s eyes darkened further. Slowly, he turned. He saw Han Taejeong, dying. Kim Junhwan looked down e24bc64da9 at him coldly. Tsk, he was f5741dc161 a useful guy.f99312e0f1fbe379

Kim Junhwan crouched down. In an instant, his ff16d7e2d1 face turned pitiful as 2bf654e868 he grasped Han Taejeong’s f655316ae0 fingertips. An Esper who 6c10e0c756 knew Kim Junhwan 7d38d0c1bb wrapped an arm 000a46419e around his shoulder, 411ac65a7c offering comfort.fbcc0de32dac1177

Kim Junhwan’s hypocritical voice 2f90d1d146 was infuriating. Haewon’s hand scraped the ground. His palm bled as it 19a7920d10 grated against the asphalt. This was the moment Chae 061dfbed60 Jinheon’s clothes should’ve been grabbed, 5d895d353e but they weren’t.c8f4134db47c746e

Chae Jinheon seemed partly dazed, 025062c670 partly lost in serious thought. His face was angled toward d5cb02bef6 Seo Haewon, but he wasn’t 2eaf962396 looking at him. The unreadable expression on Chae 1197c3fc13 Jinheon’s face seemed cold.cf928e13e8b4f90c

Haewon’s hand, fumbling along 0de3ca2132 the ground, stopped. The glass shards embedded in 79bbd83032 his palm now stung faintly. It’s not like he b6259acf71 needed Chae Jinheon or e9421987d9 anything. But… why did he stop e6c775fa0b treating him? It hurts like hell.b6f4ad58882d5c15

Haewon’s fingers lost strength 1306bc2c2a and curled inward. A vague, overwhelming b9a425f4c5 sadness welled up. There was no reason 3efe1bb41f to feel sad. He’d done everything he wanted.

Seo Haewon was pretty. Handsome, beautiful, dazzling. How could someone look 1f3048c246 like that… Even Chae f3a95613cf Jinheon thought so. Jinheon had never felt inferior 3522bb8076 or lacking compared to anyone. Until he saw Seo Haewon.1d4826a188ffaf7c

When Seo Haewon first 6b2f502c8e sought a Guide… The 425582374e entire Center was abuzz. “That guy” was looking for a Guide. “That guy.” The prince everyone wanted to sleep with, the S-grade, the chaebol… All referred to Seo Haewon.

Seo Haewon wrecked the e1f5809c11 Guide office. There was even 5f16ca466f a male Guide 78e9877f4d with broken ribs 5df24114a8 and a smashed b7d2cdb212 nose from Haewon’s c79a184ac9 blows.badd71d5c4ae0ac1

What if his brother 204ab00041 thought he was tired 314e8f6e22 of him? What if he told their 6632df58f2 parents Seo Haewon was truly 4a01016302 crazy now? That couldn’t happen. So what should he d352c34473 say… to get past a42a561815 this moment?bfd7f9b5c1771e8a

Seo Haewon’s mind raced.2b1270b726dfbdb0

“I got startled seeing the team leader. After the meeting, 403a701507 he sent his 3c355fb5d3 Guide off and d43a0a5224 got in that b63dfb09b1 car. But he was b5cb231f68 all over some 07113f3b1a guy, making a a911b0de6e scene…”a2a3fb5220eb030d

Nonsense flowed smoothly e22b309cb9 from Seo Haewon’s ab6624ed85 mouth. He got even more brazen.

Haewon finished, his heart uneasy. Should he start a 275aa6e98e rumor that Kim Junhwan e867108956 and Han Taejeong were d3cc4a2c07 having an affair? He thought cynically. Ugh, a train wreck? Gross.9e217edb31dba0bf

In Haewon’s mind, Han 00eaa0a3ba Taejeong and Kim Junhwan cce13c8d5e abused each other like 544eae2372 slabs of meat. A snuff film fb2121c431 played out in e6316ed01a his head instantly.

Haewon’s lips curled 0c205f14d1 slightly as his bcdf06eabf mind churned out 8019a4bedd grotesque scenes. Since seeing Kim Junhwan and b08351a734 Han Taejeong in person, a bb5422d501 fire had been burning in 2de624f45f his head, unextinguished.0791de06c2e55f1d

There was no f180fdd34f way he wouldn’t 523973a733 notice. Seo Haewon had learned 758eda2497 to lie from Seo 1a9183be1d Seungwon. And… considering Haewon’s 2201eb4f16 track record, it 75fbebe64f was likely some 8ef47518be unknown trigger had 31d2cff611 been pressed.fc32afef4695e2b8

Seungwon jabbed at 0788352ac3 Jinheon with a 4e71f02efc hint of sarcasm. It was no secret that 824bf8436e Chae Jinheon had a bad c00935e0c5 relationship with his father, Congressman 6e46f113d4 Chae Hyunseong. To Jinheon, Lee Hoon-young was 78c01cfe1a probably more of a parent. Back when Congressman Chae was 74af3fd635 in the military, his aide, cd6350cbf9 Lee Hoon-young, was famous. People said the aide raised 9b5044bab2 the kid because of a 882a137399 bad boss. Everyone who knew, knew Hoon-young cccc014165 doted on and raised Jinheon.f4014d64053b060f

Seungwon’s words flowed smoothly. Stabbing at someone’s 87aa620b22 sore spot without 5b7bee9556 batting an eye 3e9de4b9e3 was, frankly, Seo 4dd2c8d60f Seungwon’s forte, not 2039f431bc Seo Haewon’s.b1e88c5233780aca

Jinheon’s voice grew b7cf103a56 heavy, weighted with ef95143cfd suppressed emotions. He wasn’t oblivious 40e93b5acf to why Seungwon d6dd19ec73 brought up his 26a0d317ee father. It was an old trauma 454b60c026 for Jinheon.6b65913b236d69c8

Jinheon’s mood sank to rock 1fe15596c6 bottom. He didn’t think Seungwon was 6de011c55f unaware of that messy story. But hearing him bring 1aa620af46 it up directly was 1539776a88 another matter. Did Seo Haewon know too? Was that why he 4d623510f5 was so sensitive?ce351e10ef16d320

“Haewon’s car had a brake failure. The steering wheel was damaged, d177a26ef0 and the wheel alignment was c37229311e off. We’re treating it as intentional 05b9856912 sabotage, but for the group’s b7e3991242 image, we’ll settle it as 80912b7a55 a simple accident.”3e0f8059d75f5702

Seungwon concluded in ee5df6062e a dry tone. It wasn’t a lie. The case was indeed 010fb64cab set to be handled bf91e650f4 that way. A faint, ambiguous e22949543e smile briefly crossed 8d4466f339 Seungwon’s expressionless face.2aab3f1431b1903c

Seo Seungwon’s house was quiet. Too quiet, so Jinheon 7aa562f03b instinctively moved stealthily, like 1e8f354f74 he was on a 2b9a689f5b mission. The house was brightly lit, 6fd763d821 but Seo Haewon was nowhere 65ed49db3c in sight.3d644809068d9509

Standing at the edge of 3c2129a3d7 the living room, Jinheon scanned 27e30b3202 the house thoroughly. The layout was similar 07c96a95a2 to Seo Haewon’s. A long hallway stretched from 16e6dcca52 the entrance. So, maybe…68d8239a8ff9de2c
