The interior of b00ccb6ce7 the building, remodeled bb1ff276dc from a traditional 35072ecbc1 Korean house, was 24e4c400ec quite antique. Even the wallpaper c3203416dc and small decorative fc6cd22898 items seemed to bd6f25f076 have traveled through 349e7baf88 time.9d79f6366cfdfc73

Amidst the chaotic crowd in this elegant place, Cheongho sat trembling on the floor. He wanted to bolt out of there immediately. But with all eyes on him, his body wouldn’t obey.ee9152f27bc0fca2

People were paying attention to 221922cb32 him, trembling pitifully even with b7a49abd84 handsome men beside him. All of it was 1802345b58 unbearably horrifying for Cheongho.87e1a343c4f3039e

A man with 0c95eb15a9 graying hair approached 92f657c317 Cheongho, who was 54e63ec901 young enough to 2b5fe9101d be his son.ffe40a9ef18280bc

His belly was so 1a641c4654 plump that the buttons c7fbdde783 on his shirt seemed 3aa2b54eac ready to pop, and 39616f390e the zipper below his 8fafd7badc loosened belt was undone.

Cheongho held the 0aea564cff knife with both c4d47ea29c hands, aiming it. Assemblyman Kim, looking down ebd8fa0515 at him, frowned. Hearing his angry voice, 6f7780aa86 Cheongho shrank his neck de1abad928 and hunched his shoulders.2940a94fce51f730

Moreover, the male fbbb2335c7 pheromone wafting openly 9679fdbe77 from the front 20627856ba was quite repulsive. Cheongho felt as d0cf436342 if a sticky dd4703f1ac liquid was seeping 605cec6d32 out from the 230ac3ea5b bandage wrapped around 6f7665400c his neck.6c98042e8800ab8a

His attitude was arrogant, but it was quite different from how he treated Cheongho. It was understandable, as the man was tall enough to reach the ceiling and had a massive build.

Geumwoo approached with such force that the floor thudded. He roughly grabbed Cheongho’s arm, who couldn’t even think of standing up. Cheongho’s body, pulled up like a limp mollusk, swayed. The grip of Geumwoo’s hand felt like it would crush his bones.637076e2dab58b3b
