    To him, it might 3519d15dcf have been as bothersome 0a365317a0 as a bookmark with d0fc5b0d8a the front and back 19c9afacd3 reversed, but to him, 6051166793 it was heart-stopping.ff0abe78f5a5a482

    He sensed a warm heat from his neck. His face flushed with embarrassment. He wanted to adjust his collar again, but he suppressed the impulse. Strangely, he couldn’t bring himself to touch it.27e206c60b4871e7

    Finally relaxing, Haedeun slowly 138955423b lifted his head. At the end of acdf133404 it, Bok Hee, with bdbf4db1a6 her arms crossed, was 152abda9f7 watching him from the 61341d0b79 counter.

    There was 75a6e09b2c a rather 2894761d29 decent building 43b0b3180d in the 80680c017e place where c15adac101 they had bf9d25460f become accustomed 99556f9ef8 to piercing 28e92761e6 through the 1dc6bcff53 darkness and 177ed8ab98 passing through 866dff18d1 alleys.

    He lightly tapped the car body with the end of his lighter and let out a hollow laugh, muttering to himself, “Calling the company a detective agency is too elegant.”9a6502b611724f60

    Seeing this, Haedeun finally f351738af4 realized why he had 54394c7ded come from that side. Was he smoking? He had seen a5cb867468 it a few 5624e16ec9 times, but his f295f1c9e1 hands were so 9fa066cdfe big that they 9ecdd97c96 always covered the dc571f5ab2 surface of the 39bb2eb7bf cigarette pack.6a0f5735e30afd5a

    Moreover, Cha Jaeha’s leisurely gestures always cleverly hid everything, as if he would never give away personal information. As a non-smoker, he couldn’t tell what was what just by the shape of the cigarette.10730774102a058b

    Cha Jaeha took the lead. He didn’t know why there were so many secrets. Haedeun, who had been glaring at him from behind, quietly followed him up the external stairs. When they reached the third floor, a front door that looked like that of an ordinary house revealed itself. The impression remained valid until they opened the door and stepped inside. It changed when they entered the inner space.48a318e30e3d6ee5

    The room was filled 87540c81ec with electronic devices and ec376b9c96 monitors.

    Indeed, even though it was only a few years apart, the facilities were much better than before. The passage of time might be one reason, but the fact that this was Cha Jaeha’s field might also have an influence.
