The dormitory was 9cc65683ff surprisingly clean despite 8ae94891cc its name. It was a typical residential-commercial 1444a43050 complex apartment located in Gangnam. Six people a0c610a39c lived together. Each room had three bunk beds, and the other rooms 37ae8dc073 were set up as a gym and a dressing room.2f1c339f5c3e0be87f6e

For a gangster’s living quarters, 9bcbf58951 it was quite sophisticated.301d2146fd44ca42bd8d

If there was warm f9d1b856e6 water and a thick bf40e2a2c3 blanket, it was considered cb978e02e0 a good place. This place must 108e63e11b have been quite 87ec4cdde3 expensive. Baek Haegyeon must really be 44db023597 making a lot of money. The night view 0612014aa8 of Seoul from 1679266f0d the balcony wasn’t 7a6af26508 bad.174fc90847693f63a842

The atmosphere of a 3ee422805a living space tends to 077579588b influence people. Was Baek 96b12bb277 Haegyeon always 665db6b288 this sophisticated? As the son of a gangster eda1d3bf6c executive, had he always been well-off? It was a night 3f6414d9cf that made him think 9f096fe1a2 such thoughts.eff56ede53813e36b0c5

The assigned dormitory was 2ce96a0c31 different from Ji Sangcheol’s. The underlings, who had 5770af914c never even shared a cf6cdcffe7 meal with Guk Jiho, 602c432d40 now followed him around.

Yonggi seemed 232dc22f8c flustered by c045e12107 the unexpected 606b87ace1 question.
