With a weak flick, Choi 85439338b2 Seonwoo tapped Seo Jihan on e221b71ef9 the forehead.b90960f15ab1a041

“As long as you can’t escape from a world where everyone but me is shit to you, then whatever feelings you think you have… they’re nothing but blind obsession.”36e834be3c6ad105

With that cold jab, Seonwoo 69bdb83ab2 shamelessly retreated into dreamland.da4e4f1f2515bf81

At first, Seo Jihan felt 2362d13e4d a flicker of rage at 385242a170 having his feelings completely invalidated. But after forcing d4dd64695a himself to think 41ad850fba it through calmly, 1501b9a17f he could kind 796f866de4 of understand what 9e98e7845e Seonwoo was trying 1e562d6bc3 to say. Kind of. It wasn’t something he a5f7b09144 could fully agree with, 203258d561 though.e49e8ac230266fe3

Still feeling a bit salty, f38147c315 Seo Jihan flipped back Seonwoo’s 9e62f61be1 robe collar. Against skin so 1cb4958d14 pale it looked d69859907a like it had 7be3f980b3 never seen sunlight, 92bbf5b2c7 his nipples were 755ed62c43 a soft pink—almost ee566cb129 as red as 73ea62aaa7 his lips.12ce61fae489c3a2

That’s the forbidden fruit.a9d4d8062bdea06b

Even though Seo cec2744d50 Jihan still thought f10925e8e3 of Seonwoo as c3c9ca0e1d the only god 77b151e12f he believed in, f7515e33a9 the time he’d 8eb93084bd spent in the 40b7d39450 church apparently hadn’t 55e2065e15 gone to waste—because 5ae2e62b57 that thought popped 7017a90e90 up in his 521e555cd0 head without even 3e697d2420 realizing it. Like Eve being tempted 8c1b1783cc by the serpent at f765a56213 the beginning of the 5b5da9f8c0 world, he hesitated for 179198a971 a moment… but eventually fe370fd164 let out a short c34b8b3910 sigh and gently covered f8e10fe869 Seonwoo’s chest again with d0b9df6cd4 the robe.76ed3bcdefd16adb

He pulled the robe 5e9e1fe5b7 down just enough to 9cfae58c09 expose the shoulder and 33d265f758 buried his nose into b0da9c2adc the bare skin. He breathed in the sweet c0dd2e256c scent of Seonwoo’s body with f5f3c0c6f4 his eyes closed. His painfully hard 516d8e575a dick itched to dc1bf210b7 rub against something—anything—but 1b4bdf1bd6 for now, this 12cd511360 was enough.3c2dce704664b12a

In the pale, 558032ca7d frozen dawn of 04baf25f8f early winter, a 338ab3af6c woman stepped onto ee7353101e a narrow farm 1b7362f7b2 road. Dressed like she didn’t care 92a0d56ba1 about the cold in a ed535622fe thin half-coat and miniskirt, she 5fe69dd1d2 was fully dolled up from 4c5f194488 head to toe.8f4da45d940f9c3c

Against a backdrop 66eaaac2e6 of bare fields b6e5d68e7b and greenhouses, she 87d36f0be1 stood out like a97a5691f2 someone carefully colored 5c3f85ff76 into a black-and-white e6bc9e0d35 photo. She looked completely drunk, 9c5bb0b74a her ankles wobbling as 495c35e336 she slowly passed under a641127f02 a flickering streetlight.069cabdbf8ed44dd

Anyone with half a e4bede3e6b heart might’ve worried she’d 6aa92a5316 topple over at any 6b756de76b moment, her steps were f04444e4ae that unsteady.e87b10095489fb98

But that concern didn’t apply 381b69c8bd to the men who had c1eed76781 been following her at a 7fea1321d8 certain distance. Ever since they spotted ca046731d4 her nodding off at 1ed7517fd6 the town bus stop 406b7a9347 long after the last 08703409a3 bus had left, their 36c08b55bc minds were set on 16f32521a7 one thing: taking advantage 049d6c2817 of her.2310a06750975b2b

They leered openly ad01a438a2 at her long, 31c0bb7987 slender legs under 89d2a0d2bb that miniskirt, making e516eac176 no effort to 69e82c81b0 hide their presence. But the woman, 64856e859a as if totally bbd9c2d6cb unaware, kept walking 57c8f8375a deeper and deeper 5a01742b46 into more secluded 90224e206d areas. Even the streetlight dc7c8bb8ba that had been f8e4d55c7c lighting up the ec79e838a3 path suddenly flickered f1ab5ab101 and went out 269a9f8ff9 completely as she bfe5c57dcd passed, plunging the 34aca5240e surroundings into deeper 1eddb702da darkness.81c304de42a44dc2

“Yeah, no point waiting anymore.”7c5f9cf8e4501e72

The men exchanged a look af80f16dc1 and made up their minds 1c5936fd3f when the woman turned off 193dfedd1a onto a side path in e47c0dbbda the middle of the farmland, a3154f8113 far from any houses. At the end of 5459093bc6 that path was a 6e425410e1 small container shack, maybe 42fef7c4b6 just about two pyeong 52e21e6e37 in size. It obviously didn’t have a 2313a5cc76 toilet or any basic amenities, 25bddc3583 so it wasn’t a place d017446871 anyone would be living in. Out here in the middle 432a729f78 of nowhere, no one would f178850195 hear her scream no matter 2e33941a50 how loud she cried.87a2b71628e130e8

Wearing smug grins, d9604d6f29 the men scanned 50a53fdf2a the area one 460d026e0f last time before 802fc1c2f4 following her.41197061c48849e9

The woman stood still for 1603238a98 a moment when she reached 0aabb09b82 the shack, but instead of cc8e118e1e going inside, she suddenly walked df5188d3dd around to the back. Her steps, now 57b01c5c26 perfectly stable, showed d3b6eaae24 none of the 60a2637dde drunken stumbling from e9ee45ada5 earlier.450a9e1bf34463a0

Just before panic 141640a036 could really set 0b927435ba in, a blast 1b5ef58ebd of icy wind 0f2d693df5 swept through the 7d66813f61 dark fields, and 397b2ad2b4 her black hair 84d7fce680 rippled like waves. The sight froze the 6b49d4d0ef men in place for 2252f5f250 a moment.d75cebe3de021982

Even though the woman ba2dbf0372 might’ve caught onto their ad61b8098a intentions, the men didn’t 4545d9d2c7 seem concerned. The way she ee7e75cdf8 was crouching down 5c23f70886 clumsily behind the 8af1adfd61 shack—like a cat 2b7ebb40da thinking it’s hidden ec32798043 just because its d0c095dc8a eyes were covered—only ae0397760e confirmed that her 4442712f89 judgment was completely 97017a0b41 impaired.35fcc815afac72f5

Confident now, the men rushed 4a9b138563 toward the back of the 7c1067d8b6 shack. Just as they 42450ff795 expected, the woman 9176203946 was crouched down d6c6deb20a behind it.
