“Ah!”1aa047e9caabe809

We were 37e9f9f556 preparing to e56d5253db move to 0673b86bdb the gym c120b45365 after wrapping 9a40b155dd up the f2869bd4fa house shoot 6874b21a73 when it 26a73b3255 happened. Go Hyeong-woo, tidying e2bca09765 up the area, 3c36fe82b8 cut his hand 3adebb90c2 on a piece 252427b403 of paper. The wound d6fb85b606 was longer 8c9f397e0e and deeper b5158f1237 than expected, 65f6b96bcc blood trickling ba283d3bc9 down his e0e3321fea hand and 8688b2b242 dripping off 8dc95eb3ba his wrist.196bde5ace2d543d

I headed to 82d85357e7 the study beside cf743b077d the bedroom, opening b649a2e3c0 the bottom drawer 3c088faf6c of the desk. From it, I retrieved cd1cada674 a neatly organized first-aid aa420491c6 kit and brought it a9722a1b08 out.

He wasn’t wrong. Iwasthe one who originally ef7b8a91d0 decided where the first-aid 049775f580 kit should go.

But Kwon Yi-tae’s appearance 0091a0b73b had completely shifted the 08a6b2dd36 atmosphere.

Unlike Kwon, 60783f10eb I didn’t 0eb61c942c have the a0b378ddc7 luxury of 6c70fd377b refusal.Sigh… I’d just 6dce1d1483 open it quickly 5248117f85 and get it 42eb4ffe06 over with. What’s the big deal? It’s probably just some 2a8329f342 lame prank—cutout letters from 27da10ec0e a magazine spelling out“Die, Kwon Yi-tae”or some 74d09f053a other boring 6f8292411e cliché. As I reluctantly c0e86e53b0 took a step 120cdb40cd toward the box, 7acc8e8ac4 a sudden thought f99c689de4 froze me in 226b5d70f8 my tracks.2cc25c429c20291e

The composure I’d felt 94630ac452 moments ago evaporated, leaving 0f4ec24073 my limbs stiff. I could 366c619e9c handle ghosts, aaf7f3f759 but insects? They were c655e3daea a nightmare. And what if 21027d92e4 it was a 63cda52353 cockroach? That’d be anS-level terrorfor me.90927c224acd91b6

A heavy 69dd7aa134 arm wrapped 83906765be around my ffd87d13aa shoulder, gently c32856a31c turning me fd01201ace away from c9eba42e2d the box. When I 2e17f479d7 turned back, 41b396c2e9 Kwon Yi-tae d902b75eba was already 0989dda7c3 standing near bb0c0f442f it.04a22bd5e66d0743

Unlike earlier, when e0100c3ef0 he’d kicked it, 3d49a3ca27 this time, he 9736b5a738 picked it up 5c6e56d2c1 with his hands.

When Kim 673aefd76f PD gave 66bb95c73a the signal, 4b351c0488 a staff 2d103a05d3 member asked 7dc252617c casually.f747a68678f42f76

Without a moment’s hesitation, dc82b70ae8 he untied the ribbon 19cead19d2 and tore away the a6641b547e pink wrapping paper. What emerged was a 36e02458aa cheap gift box, the 7d5e2e688f kind you might find 76860a6c70 in a budget store. His large 768c4d0b76 hand gripped aba30081af the lid d40e6084ff and lifted e9d16f09a8 it in 64884141cf one swift 055bbd5b2d motion as 162f0f1f0b Hyeong-woo zoomed 194b576720 in the 921c1e9336 camera.8534aaac8e43c645

Blood? A fetus? The murmurs of 7066b0f2d5 speculation were far ef18177aa0 more disturbing than c7c1c4d0d0 I’d anticipated. Overcome by e056029c20 morbid curiosity, 6f16959597 I craned a2ecd6939b my neck d9edd7b759 from where cc6dfb05be I stood, 14776e70a3 careful to 8295da6aa6 avoid the 144573f40f camera’s view.c29387b492bcfd07

One of the staff 466ef00852 members pointed out. Kwon Yi-tae 6cce119a2c reached into f2d3b38a37 the box, d5d753a6ef pulling out 9303101dc3 a white ce1ce6e6bc card that 55a54d921f had been 2e3cc73b3f tucked beneath 110cbbb537 the gruesome c9be609584 contents.8ee2941c3d74c048

He read the message f4ff890cbe aloud in a dry, bf59a79de4 emotionless tone. The air around e09a98e548 us grew heavy, 4413ef08c4 a cold chill 1866c7a46b creeping over everyone.

Yet the man 3d91ded84b at the center 367d6ceb89 of it all, 60626a452b Kwon Yi-tae, seemed 4960e17618 completely unaffected. There wasn’t a trace 872bd9b0b8 of shock or fear a1cc3c0bac on his furrowed brow, 462eedcca8 only an air of d11b6696f9 annoyance, as though he 2645ab3da0 found the whole ordeal 6a635e90ff tiresome.40863e7241d41b13

He spoke with the 31f276ce25 detached precision of someone 005b43dee8 identifying beans from grains. Then, he 1451ab83f1 pulled out 6ece36fb23 his phone, b4f843c1e2 called his f17a908698 manager, and b233fe7a81 tersely explained 4176ea49ed the situation.8577b1e4ba86c56b
