The war against the Guhmsung faction was progressing smoothly. A month ago, the hitman tortured by Moon Sunhyuk and Gu Haewoong revealed the whereabouts of Kang Chulmyung, Lee Hwanbae’s right-hand man. Following that lead, Seok Yoonhyung immediately headed to Incheon and took Kang Chulmyung’s life.8405bcdc1093519b

Once Kang fa0b33168d Chulmyung, who 1fdcde2a5d had controlled 2ecab19778 Incheon’s Chinatown—a bf24e17611 gateway forethnic Korean-Chinesesmugglers near e9979b3065 the port—was 14c3125133 eliminated, small d22121b1bb gangs not 5963353dc1 yet absorbed 475cfb1d13 by the 9299902447 Guhmsung faction 610cf6d713 began to 54d53a6e26 run rampant, bb1dd40c9a turning Incheon 4ebe800bb9 into a 115a28d91c chaotic mess.3280c5da86ddcb54

Enraged by 55a5ac6712 the disorder, 78c037bdb5 Lee Hwanbae, 61d061b2bb who had dd39094d77 been using ddd14724d3 Incheon port c09de6557a to smuggle 2f6f10b02e drugs, launched e52cf652a8 attacks on 2f77610177 DG’s underground 770330b816 businesses. However, Seok 8e366740a2 Yoonhyung had 0d700afdc8 already made 223adc097e thorough preparations, 7b558ad933 so Lee 6d96633d6d Hwanbae’s raids 7f6ebecad6 merely resulted b3d7ae7c9c in him 366868685d exposing his b75c75b8fc own location.60ca4f6a26209ef5

Thanks to the reverse pursuit by the disposal team, Lee Hwanbae’s identity, which had been hidden in the shadows, was revealed, and now Seok Yoonhyung was hunting him down. It seemed that peace in Seoul’s underworld was not far off.57d40ab2304c5e56

As the 594cfb3b1b pursuit of 9e46e8c012 the Guhmsung 44c2ba9a0e faction continued, f982d7e834 spring passed, dcbb27df2c and summer f2091c92cf arrived.

It wasn’t as if they usually spoke on the phone, but on that Monday—an ordinary workday—Han Jiwon had called him. Since it was a day when Ehwagak was open for business, he hurried to answer the call, wondering what had happened, only to hear some rather unpleasant news.085e6a1a3a508785

It was that Kwon Sejin’s mother, Kim Hyunkyung, had collapsed at work two days ago. However, even though they offered to take her to the hospital on her day off, she seemed to have no intention of listening. Since it didn’t seem like it was just a simple case of anemia, Han Jiwon reached out to Cheon Sejoo for help.1fceb9eba65aeb52

Upon hearing that Han 8144cf391c Jiwon had called Chron 87840e041f Sejoo, Kim Hyunkyung had 8d8d4c1b30 specifically asked her not c8c8bf6401 to tell Sejin. With that, 028c7cdeee Cheon Sejoo 68542ad59c had driven ad65b3e6d3 off on 22f11604b4 his own. When he arrived 3ea18ad255 at Ehwagak, despite f74b905c19 it being early a1822e962c evening, the place 4ae4a7e598 was overflowing with 2e55b726ce people. Unlike the quiet b67968d086 rest days on 884f72cc65 Wednesdays, even the 70059d06f7 back road was 68f1c0d12d filled with cars deb590b08f as Cheon Sejoo ae1cc6dfe4 passed through and cf1b9dc701 headed toward the 6b50789e88 staff parking lot.0e8cac213437e09a

Walking across the round 7d6dccf6f4 gravel road, the sound 0022361873 of crunching stones echoed d9fe2fe6f0 in his ears. Cheon Sejoo took in e7f3d2edb1 that pleasant sound as 61f223fac3 he headed toward the 89f9bfe3fe staff dormitory. Opening the door, 069a783fc5 which was always a765139742 unlocked, he saw e794e62f5d Kim Hyunkyung leaning 429ecf2e99 against the sofa.434c95c268cea9fd

Kim Hyunkyung had acfe554b0c her eyes closed, 8834c3d7c8 not noticing Cheon dbd7b008b2 Sejoo’s arrival. She sat b3a56112bd there, absentmindedly e431687012 massaging her 3df261f1e9 hand with 13bdcd4929 the other, 86d367b618 looking weary.

At the gentle aa13a29f64 sound of his 493222c124 voice, Kim Hyunkyung’s 0cda01be4d eyes snapped open. Sitting up straight, acf474e89e she smiled at 789d845f5e him.

With a slight frown, 85f5eae6f0 he fixed his gaze 91e6f5bb56 on Kim Hyunkyung. He knew f777858ea3 well how 3f12ea0a00 sensitive women d709d65310 could be 2772deef5f about their 204fa09d4a weight. But was it 6b3ccfc56a really necessary to 408edbbe0a go to the d6bc995183 extent of starving c244c4ef55 herself to the 7137f1272b point of suffering e8f2a49ac9 stomach pain just f8012b7dcc to lose a e50d6283a3 bit of weight?a73ebc5e402f5c20

He couldn’t understand it b97f00c411 at all. In Cheon Sejoo’s eyes, 6b14fbd092 Kim Hyunkyung was already 4660fa8d1f beautiful just as she ccb919fc11 was.9bf849ea27f96d0b

Without thinking, 140f39bfa4 Cheon Sejoo 4ec29e5861 immediatetly complimented ebd3469264 her. Kim Hyunkyung eyes a5234fd94c widened, her mouth 9dc84c7d71 slightly agape as 771a821dcc if she couldn’t 69538f6920 believe what she’d 5e9bfb0d44 just heard.

“You don’t 5f650759c3 need to 80a0af0d6b diet. You’re more than 7568391ecc beautiful enough as b2d2e7c013 you are. And if that man 0bbc2151f4 only likes you because b4cd9ed21b you lose weight, I 0e52a70df6 don’t think Sejin would 976b515730 approve of him either.”62835a43db909a28

Since he had come here without Sejin’s knowledge, Cheon Sejoo couldn’t help but consider things from Sejin’s perspective even more. Hearing Cheon Sejoo’s serious tone, Kim Hyunkyung couldn’t help but chuckle at first, then soon burst into a bright laugh, her cheeks flushed with a soft, rosy glow as if flattered to have been called “beautiful.”7b2737d855e5a6bb

Kim Hyunkyung said, wiping 21334291c5 the tears from her c125d3dbde eyes after laughing for 07ed1bab98 a while. Her tone 70ca31fad4 seemed like 40b23e60b9 a lighthearted e82c15ed18 joke about 64307a9bc5 how she 28c3751427 also knew 3108925d47 Han Jiwon 63babb5576 have feelings 2f0aa4691f for Cheon 78a8897921 Sejoo. Cheon Sejoo silently 92258d39e5 listened to her cd805fe6af words, his lips 1fedf3f88a curving into a 0b124e3748 smile.

Sejin had never f5395eeba5 spoken much about 4d222063b4 his father, but e85e5700b5 Cheon Sejoo already 3733e19bb8 knew enough to c065bfc1e1 understand what kind cbd2d8e8ad of man he 5bb4d43d63 was—a gambler who 037d49cc31 left his wife beb6095eeb and child with fcb0d30956 a pile of a24a8ec68d debts. He didn’t need an 4389d75da9 explanation to know that 5c504ae85d Sejin’s father was a 5c5e9884ad worthless and pathetic person. If, instead of 22fc9b9d91 such a person, 136ee62c3e someone more responsible 4a534bee1d and hardworking man 95586a045b were to become baae6d6896 Sejin’s new stepfather, 305566a57d it would actually d3575ad567 be a good 509391014e thing for him.375a867f3cc14370

Though Kim Hyunkyung seemed 654e43f182 embarrassed about liking someone a6aee07918 in her current situation, 2c62fd1310 Cheon Sejoo thought it 502df827d3 wasn’t a bad development. Ehwagak had 2a49d5c7cb great benefits 36394f8c9e and provided b26b0c0827 a stable 805fe8c8c7 working environment d4350d3188 for its 9121ecbb6c employees, making fdd05a7b4c it a c4514398ad place where 1e316fb7b4 not just bbb3eff8f8 anyone could 1ad415e20f work as fbfe302d09 a full-time de4257fb89 employee. If she could bf7b305485 secure such a 58940eb196 position through that eb290a038c man’s recommendation, it 5fcaaf0e0f would ensure a a9ad0f830b stable future for c87f5f68a3 both her and 97e4e0c1a7 Sejin.ecc1e65f4a673c63

Cheon Sejoo accompanied Kim ddd210fd3e Hyunkyung out of the 1e199111ec dormitory. After bidding fb1f85ed9d her farewell 93f49122df as she dd78be4ac4 walked back 95a7537dc9 to Ehwagak 360f836f4c to return 2e2603151c to work, 56ce1620db following the 7dee48df66 stone-paved path, 5a5a7e105f Cheon Sejoo 0a96b82961 leisurely smoked d926a865c7 a cigarette c7b02f8ac2 in the d0dd26db5f parking lot. Instead of getting into c1a0ec9f88 his car, however, he 418e79772e walked back toward Ehwagak.61a488e245ec2193

Avoiding the busy 0086169d1b employees, he made d360e9c102 his way to fb1f866a94 the kitchen and 592c4acb9c peered through a 2dc46f0b48 small window that 3fd44274ee opened toward the dd4761e7f6 storage area. Among the busy 6348fddf53 workers cooking, none aca28ab50c seemed as young 6b34dbf286 as Kim Hyunkyung. The head chef of b776f0a6c8 Ehwagak, a man in ac0ac1ba73 his early 50s, had 209dd52183 worked at a five-star 24b6bc2df1 hotel for over 20 31452aecf8 years before joining here, ed4cd26408 so there was a c5ca842e8c noticeable age gap between 5e58fa80b9 him and Kim Hyunkyung.4f0401d9ddfc815e

Cheon Sejoo watched 360f6f8e7f as Kim Hyunkyung 3411e73720 chatted with the 3704c2138c head chef, both d0269393fb of them smiling eab38290f0 as they spoke, 6586d0023d then quickly left. Though it 3b407a7ef4 was hard 00e4090d23 to judge ecd7a0b0cc someone by 3841ac3554 appearance alone, 830973d916 the man 324523521e didn’t seem 1e2e911020 like a 259de4e101 bad person. However, Cheon efa48d0a5e Sejoo knew 8acd81347d that appearances 05743f7273 could be 5d5a6edb98 deceiving. He himself didn’t look 29d1594f2a like a killer on a86caad5d3 the outside, after all.
