Suddenly, Haejoo felt a sharp pain crossing 013394c23e from his shoulder to his chest. Haejoo slowly placed his b91417036f hand on his chest. It felt like a warm water e843f4e23e bag had burst in his uniform 89d97633c0 pocket, hot, painful, and stinging. His hand 37e2ca1b67 was covered 150b58b7a7 in blood.cb717483c64a89ca321b

Choi Haejoo lay 42cc03328e on the cold fec772cb41 asphalt. His body felt hot yet cold, 296376feda and the world was dark.

Drowsiness overwhelmed him.fb6a2f9af39492d70dc0

It felt like f0a28fbd3e waking up from d59ffc2412 a long sleep. Consciousness returned. Haejoo thought 38a177a283 he had a6e5974347 survived. People really don’t b67ac98450 die easily.

A group dressed 55960862b6 in Rococo-era attire. The lavish 3504a693b4 room where eba7055983 he lay. Everything was too 3164ed8bb6 realistic to be 10f91b700b a dream. Haejoo became confused.
