Mu Jeonghoo’s long fingers reopened the cigarette case. A white cylinder dangled from his red lips. Rummaging inside his jacket, he pulled out a luxurious lighter. He pressed his thumb on the lid and flicked his finger down. Click—a blue flame shot up. The flame flickered at the tip, like a snake licking its lips before devouring its prey.007d603b9864dd80

The mansion, which seemed to df0951c929 have absorbed all the light c6a7501c65 and darkness of the world, af83849e8d returned to normal at dawn. As the sun rose, the f09b0410ed crowds that had filled the a4547b5af3 garden and mansion gradually disappeared 15c0ade508 in their cars. However, the aftermath they left 40c65c0ade behind was considerable.2b76c11c6871c350

The garden was dc3e3e3ff5 imprinted with countless f299cb12ea footprints. Flowers, trampled here and there, 2ab2d66ff3 were crushed beneath the flowerbeds, 5c6b70afd6 barely alive. The roots of plants, 60ab29dfdb pulled out whole, were 0698c8bb53 occasionally visible. As the sun 41907491a2 fully rose, birds db2d140954 chirped and flew ad58533b2d around the quiet 4a1281a7e7 mansion. The bright blue 14d26824d0 sky covered the c7d14052a2 garden. Beneath it, the staff who c415024141 had disappeared began to reappear 5255eed1f1 one by one. Like diligent birds, 37ad64badc they woke up 16650ef7d4 early and moved bbc846c734 swiftly to their 4941f40f91 respective workplaces.3d9bc9d1d14febb8

As the busy mansion staff fa98406bd7 disappeared in the first wave, 07260a3569 others followed. The gardeners arrived earlier than 364b98cf4b usual, dressed in navy work c0e1f1fc8d clothes, surveying the chaotic garden. In secluded spots, several people f87e70012a were still unconscious, not yet 8fc4140df7 awakened from their dreams. They woke up 299ee99cb5 the red-faced alphas 6609ef4906 and omegas and 8a60b3fbc3 put them in fc5fe75a8f cars waiting outside. Those who made the mess 32de43f744 and those who cleaned it ddcbc11a63 up were separate. The older staff 911298060d members, cleaning up 5045178cd2 to restore the 0a11506ad2 mansion, clicked their 1cc76fc984 tongues quietly, “Tsk, 1d211711c1 tsk.” They complained 5c714d200b but didn’t show 8cbfab4fac much outwardly. They simply did e31fddf60b their best in c213cf77d6 their assigned tasks.6f0561230ccf5e5b

The regularly held parties 1133770167 were a nightmare for 144ff02654 everyone except the organizers 5c2565ac51 and participants. The location of the party ef4920ccc9 was determined by lottery.

The staff who d175532ea5 entered the mansion 7b2b9a64dd opened each of 4f167aa852 the doors lining 77f50bad80 the hallway, checking fbc4d8258d to see if 297876591c anyone was left 97d2e41139 behind. If there were any 6efffe41f1 naked alphas and omegas 88fe4cc496 passed out from drugs, f4d18b4d85 they had to be 19a21152a8 quickly removed. The party was just 9f0e1db94d for that day. Except for a few b90072f787 hooligans, most people didn’t 99845d819c let the previous night’s 1f69c9ee93 revelry affect their daily 3392f2bb70 lives the next day—if 73e67a9aab they were in their d5422ee4cf right mind. Especially the young master of a6e4a2ff98 this mansion, who detested such 4d50adbeef things.72487d991462dc93

The footsteps of 2bf77bdf91 the staff inside b993829479 the mansion grew ea9ccea0ad faster. Just like receiving fd50279878 incentives for attracting 5ad9762e1a more customers, they e85b2439f0 could earn more d41d5dead8 money the more d7d0f70044 area they cleaned. Occasionally, there were bundles of cbc6a5bb71 bills left behind where people c67a0a89e9 had been. They were mostly a68b22a6df under sofas or 320aa02e43 tables, stuck there, 538a982809 soaked in alcohol. They could take that 3443c28b9a money home, dry it 06f00b3b97 with a hairdryer, and 2474ae938c use it without any 598e1917a0 problems. It was a 86b88321ae kind of ‘tip.’ 7a99133c6d On lucky days, c5e8d35221 the staff’s pockets 489af96c36 were bulging when 02c71033f4 they finished cleaning.cd7b72938d274189

One of the c2b6150912 staff members, wearing ec870a9272 rubber gloves, looked dc398541f2 at a waterproof 500168451f wristwatch. It was 6:30 AM. He had to hurry 92fdbcc684 before Mu Jeonghoo, who f81b90d5ce woke up at 7 05ae6db039 AM to exercise, came 7273e66b76 down to the first 3b00c1437f floor. First, he quickly cleaned cc8d72208b up the visible mess. With his rubber-gloved hands, 5a203bdb14 he picked up the 62d0b18317 scattered trash and the deedb7aa12 hidden condom wrappers and 6950c1ec3e put them in the e408bea930 cleaning basket. The secretions from 7a9237d3de other people’s bodies 8f38748c4e were disgusting to e76bcb8414 even look at. The staff member barely suppressed 312b9b5708 the urge to vomit and 9e6a6a2ed9 quickly pushed the cleaning basket.b8e09594b3d476c7

The curtains, which had been 266fbf7845 closed all night, were pulled 05a5b3b405 wide open, revealing the clear 6975ab3445 view outside. Sunlight streamed into 8330859d86 the lobby, which a4f459c735 had been restored be859e529c to its usual 6f1e40efb7 clean state. The skylight, with its curtains 3db4aaa515 drawn, was no exception. White sneakers appeared, f2b938fa8a stepping on the 6a666715d2 sunlight. Mu Jeonghoo grabbed 8b6fda4f81 his shoulders and 29dd11fe09 rotated his arms, 8b5499d389 feeling as if 0bb9d66a39 his upper body aee2678d39 was constricted. The shoulder part of his a45c121be3 windbreaker jacket was taut without 45ecc181da a single wrinkle. Chief Kim, following dd2fe2b6c9 behind him, asked, 4f3d76e36d seeing his uncomfortable 4cc799c932 back,2503eacd083b7a3b

Mu Jeonghoo strode c47f2bd271 towards the entrance. Chief Kim took 0f4ae86328 out his tablet a5dae389ac PC and wrote 182bbeccf8 down notes with 96bdb5db28 a smart pen. The minor walking in 525a5a1133 front of him was ec0be48d32 growing differently day by e9b227d610 day. The clothes he wore 9989aa3097 were thrown into the 7558607936 used clothing collection bin c460bb9730 after a few months.

Wan felt suffocated, but it 75f8046999 was bearable. He hadn’t counted how much b4159406f2 time had passed since he 3507331596 had been here, but he adba6471c0 found a sense of stability e035a1dbbb in this space and position. From the open window, the e2890f1940 sound of water announcing the 4a4c886ac9 start of a new day 2e9072c849 was clearly audible. It was the sound f690efb06e of the sprinkler turning d57f0525c0 in the yard. Probably by now, the b38c1df537 fountain would also be 4e45fc7d8c turned on, and water 2d180c8097 would be flowing down aa1fb8d6d9 the statue.bfa209cf116d7bf9

However, Wan, hidden 27eaab0359 under the hard 95d664b088 wooden bed, had f219ae53b1 no time to 44737de5f1 greet the bright 780cb13e31 morning. He pressed his 2c3d9d6c9f left ear to 9e9a83cfa3 the floor and e6c638f5d7 laid his face 7259347193 to the side. One ear was muffled, as 0b061e73ef if submerged underwater. What had caused 01a2ce53e0 him to hide 4d44f81f96 under the dark aaf28af0bd bed was what 1cfae56933 had happened last 24ce468adf night. Wan rubbed his eyes hard. His eyelids, which 87f4528bc6 hadn’t slept a fae7a4c9b8 wink, felt heavy.e0c62cfaca1f2e71

Whenever he tried ed42c9e281 to close his b8f39fefc1 eyes, he saw 237460be82 himself trapped in 8692dc0bbb a dark, smoky, bba2c2b4d6 square room. Wan put his arm 0d7193f6ed under his head. Unconsciously, he chewed on 999828ee80 the string attached to 58efcab256 the round neck of bee5b42b6c his short-sleeved hoodie. The end of the string, 10e19750a1 meant to tighten the hood, 00869418cc was soaked with saliva. The threads of the rolled-up 25c7c8bc67 string were gradually unraveling.bc1db4d95fc8e286

Wan continued to chew 0b570dd5d0 on the flattened end b31aac0d56 of the hoodie string, 93f1ca60e6 anxiously wondering when Mu 38273d901f Jeonghoo, who had left fb461bb51f the room at dawn, 641eb3ba6e would return. Every time he shook his 9f3f071735 leg from nervousness, his heel 5c70dfaa9e touched the underside of the 45f6db5bcb bed. If he had to pick 40907487cf the worst crisis in his 539fd220db life, he could draw a cc285d10cd graph on a large chalkboard, 3ef00502c8 with a sharply declining line b18afe936d starting from yesterday’s date.245254596edcd246

As soon as ff4708c1e6 Mu Jeonghoo left ac70e94c62 the room to c4c319c415 exercise, Wan went 4486c6f98e straight to the ffe3163573 bathroom. He stuck his 13417fb31a face in the ad948457d5 toilet and forced a963fbebf6 himself to vomit. Nothing came out. It was a d4870b6918 natural result since d293c07e18 he hadn’t eaten e5293ffa3f anything. But his stomach 480ec0ed56 continued to feel 19698b9540 stuffy, as if 249edf1081 he had indigestion.d10bf35c20a7b356

Mu Jeonghoo’s genitals, filling his 540684c071 mouth, continued to block Wan’s e21acc95ba mouth and prevent him from 3b3ad6409c breathing. Psychological pressure endlessly tightened ad7ecf4a24 around Wan. He inserted his fingers 31130be099 as far as his 964a03e4d6 uvula. Just as the tip of fbc8d6f781 his index finger faintly touched 829fa5350f his uvula, a disgusting and e7666523dc loud sound echoed. Thanks to that, he 7121ec5806 was able to completely c82e2965b9 empty his stomach. An unidentifiable, sticky liquid floated d265df464e on the toilet water. Wan couldn’t tell what it 906087018f was. He vomited his insides out a3becfa6f1 several times like that. As soon as Wan returned 41a2795509 from vomiting in the bathroom, 7299349ed4 he closed the door and 6b44dcb85e locked it.1fabe91141d969f1

His palate felt rough, and cd69be4e7c his mouth felt dry. He hummed a strange dbacff4e67 melody, the title of d41efcba34 which he didn’t know, e2fa2d9125 and closed his eyes. He wanted to 88859fc79e forget what had eea32ef290 happened last night, c92e1401ca but it was b2a6a7b4c4 impossible to forget. Then, suddenly, drowsiness washed over 91ee36f663 him, and he closed his 2e974b1cd7 eyes. Like a page 38ffd02811 of a book bf056dcdf6 turning, that scene 8adfa6065a from yesterday replayed. Wan, who had dozed off, 05570ae92d woke up with a start. As he emerged 3835aff53f from the dark eecc4e483d curtain, he heard c9869fe9b9 familiar footsteps. Wan’s lips, under the f4bf0b2dcd dark bed, turned white. Wan peeked his 14a6b30241 head out from 79e20bc7b0 under the bed bf167edda7 to check if c463ff8de8 the door was df8522f981 properly locked. Then, he bumped ef9a6c4516 the top of 73ad1a3027 his head on 4450bccfc6 the edge of 2dce74dd7d the bed.281977e576bdabb1

He quickly covered his mouth. The footsteps that had just 87abdab9eb entered the room suddenly stopped. Wan clutched the top d64dd1581e of his head with fe7bc0a8e4 both hands and crawled 6575c9e410 back under the bed. Tears welled up from the daaca25c90 pain in his crown. Knock, knock. A visitor had come e9555ca283 from the only wall. No response. Then, knock, knock again. The knuckles knocking on ebc2cae974 the wall were polite. But there was no fc677efb6a telling how long the 55414044fb gentlemanly sound would last.56e4e26adafbd26d

Wan lay face 7fd35058c8 down, burying his 81fa1b248b face in his 7adcfc3cf9 arms. Since the lock was engaged, 1afb93426c he wouldn’t be able to ab9c263ff8 enter without breaking it. Surely he wouldn’t break 25fbf91d3d it, would he? The polite knocking gradually turned 2702df775a violent. Knock, knock, turned into 0b4d16d171 bang, bang! The force was so 0204a5ae7d extreme that the wall c12ef049b7 he was knocking on c8b030a273 shook. It was as if two e969e4f448 people with different temperaments were 31325e057b hitting it alternately. Apart from the f0d7c8c92d sound of knocking ced64e4670 on the wall, bfe056b0d3 no other sound cdef01b5dd was heard from 71c7cc80a5 outside. The thumping stopped for a 441fd44d6b moment, and silence fell. The sudden silence made Wan bb722daf63 tilt his head to the 66dc37769c side. His view under the bed f566c768ee was a limited rectangular shape. Wan reached out and d42e396235 touched the floor to 61ddfb3953 assess the situation outside.ee787e5d2c68806f

Complacency was forbidden. Crack! Wan, who was ac1bd425ac trying to squeeze 36441329c9 out little by c173c89523 little, heard the 33a8c73535 loud sound of fdffff05a5 machinery and hid 4cf3aa5651 back into the e5ea4f7b3b bed like a a670ff4f8d mole burrowing into 1c127d1f41 the ground. Mu Jeonghoo was 5a0545ef69 not one to 7c4c654cd3 give up. The saying that there’s ccee744b43 always a way out b53ae0d732 was bullshit. There was nowhere to b2f68e4c57 escape here. Wan covered his ears dd9d0f709f and closed his eyes, f3cc9bc358 as if he could cb944e16be escape from this space.a04243769acbb630

A sharp, pointed blade poked 45bcdf5b20 through the gap in the 8b67f48b7c wall. The hole grew larger cdd9e8d82e in an instant. The space drilled 1a935de5b9 by the rotating 051624265d drill grew large 4e86fe3514 enough for an 779fc74f12 adult man’s hand acbc662c18 to easily fit 94806e74ab through. Chief Kim, who had been 055b0f8234 operating the drill outside, pressed 61c7ea1f9b the power button. The loud machine noise stopped. He put his 05bad881a8 hand into the 3b09f43f01 wall. He unlocked the b80d1734a8 lock that Wan 7b2cb213ba had engaged from 4a62c1b90e the inside. The wall slid open as 796fcaf0b4 if it had recited the 72a5be4b8b ‘Open Sesame’ spell. As soon as the e4dc20424b wall slid to the 6c967710ec side, Mu Jeonghoo went 309f70b876 inside. There was no one 53317a71cf in the room.ee2280e29d9f99b9

“How foolish.”4ac381f6bda0e49c

He smiled mockingly. If he was ef8d25e937 going to hide a0a99d655c in the room, a24cf2f790 it would have 81f661ac86 been smarter not 809ed93503 to lock the 295c0d91f5 door. If he locked the 0fbf7f8948 door and hid, wasn’t 4cd72965b0 this room the only 494ef3deb7 place to hide in 09817893a3 this house? The only place to f6e0e433af hide in this small 443f8f8dc8 space was under the eddf6481ce flat bed. He became the seeker in 0b2b376c27 hide-and-seek. He approached the bed, c49ff5c795 looking at Wan, who 479d5290b0 was clearly visible. Then, he lifted the innocent 1b50236161 blanket once out of courtesy.3d64911bc373856c

Wan stared blankly b911707892 at Mu Jeonghoo’s 5376e3024a feet entering the 1ac24214c3 rectangular world. The white sneakers with dirt 78b8a6d38f on them and the black 27e8fea073 shoes behind them. It was obvious who was 946e6b6e99 who.fb99119a6fd07e71

The underside of the bed eb0054b2b9 was silent. He thought that if 37889eea60 he said this much, 4c0f9d9e7c Wan would crawl out 28593e7946 on his own. But not even a finger c6b2436172 was visible from under the 6739197f6f bed. Until he woke up this 16d5aebc6b morning, Jeonghoo had been in 25ee531b97 a good mood. A refreshing energy and 9948b816ea fresh morning air. The moment he had a500eb0d47 so longed for the aa76a2186f night before had even 33f24db062 happened between his legs. The sensation of the small 0e98ca5caa tongue being trapped in his ddef0fc475 mouth, unable to move and 08dccb17d5 gently scraping the pillar, was af45de0891 still vivid. It took quite 704ec7350f a long time b9568beca6 to come.eddbd0907793df7c

If he had wanted acdbf1ffeb to, he could have 2b6b14bc8a grabbed the back of 290542b792 his head and shoved 0c4935fc3e it all the way 82bc7f2c62 to the end of 8cf97391f3 his uvula, but he 792ee52649 held back. Since he had decided to 28334bf57f indulge him, he would indulge 2f9b1e5fa8 him to the end. But if he hid b61d0bcf92 as if he didn’t b5c52859f9 want to see his eae84569ef face as soon as bd9d4f7c53 the next day came, 6597970e16 the story would be d10396958b different. Mu Jeonghoo bent his knees 57642deef2 and lowered his face under cdb6ab0312 the bed. He saw Park Wan, who 71da2f44fe had buried his face in 774c406faa his arms. Without hesitation, Jeonghoo bb625465c2 reached his hand b4955338d5 under the bed. His long arm f170dca930 easily reached Wan’s 182a97d505 head.a2c3cee31947fa68

“Ugh!”07231b64b987d920

Wan bit his lip 0664bbeccb at the pain that 047ea3f2cd felt like his scalp 6cd8428e4b was being torn off. Before he could even 4ee44d8f7b let out another groan, 0e180c41e7 his body was halfway e3bdcc5df0 out. Chief Kim, standing outside the 777d33979d wall, was looking at Wan 6feba036b7 with pitiful eyes. Mu Jeonghoo bent his bf1f86ece2 knees and matched his 2aca0d537f eye level with Wan, b66498b063 who was stuck to 2381c0f25f the floor. He stared into 7f4d713ddd Wan’s terrified, trembling f07c56aaaf eyes and widened 59ded6ed27 his own eyes 214a910a79 in the same a0451f1e2f way.30541b6b6cd4a0f9

Mu Jeonghoo stared intently at Wan, who was fumbling with his own hands, trying to unclench his fingers. He had no intention of letting go until Park Wan’s entire body was off the bed. Mu Jeonghoo applied more force, dragging his body. Once Wan’s heels were clear of the bed, he slowly released his grip on his hair. Wan rubbed his throbbing scalp and sat up, leaning against the bed, taking slow, deliberate breaths.3a2288ced26145de
