TL | Chapter 35 | I Want to Hide Him Away

Leo and c7784d86fd the other 1e2f1dc68f bodyguards swallowed 4208a9d9a3 nervously, thinking 3e60ff1937 it might 2db75f19f7 actually be 9091650041 better if 76346e910d someone just 1ffbe05d1c shouted or 0370f4879e threw a bd9d462b00 tantrum.8e3614e600b8aa70

Bang! Another gunshot echoed. This time, blood 16a54fdf28 began to flow a7e9843bf3 from the man’s 533bd89578 right arm. He gritted 56bac8be9f his teeth, b878b5932c breaking into f3e0ab5ab2 a cold 2df0a5aeaf sweat. Though he refrained 05a8903eae from screaming, which 57e617121f was commendable, he a995eab214 was trembling like b714de6f5a an aspen tree, 3037d23d27 as if he fa9fb491e9 sensed his impending 73858335f7 fate.b9211a6e06080510

“This time was a a3a34ff890 mistake. With your 174b0faf8b right arm 8bb34dbead shot, you 7060324de6 can’t shoot 165a81e8da a gun 9175f03f13 anymore.”5c15bd7f64dc2c07

Though he called 4779107976 it a mistake, c87a4a954e Iden’s cold gaze 23e94eb388 made it clear 3f91f56daa he had aimed 7d129f606f deliberately.62c50d0d512c355e

A professional killer b712c35c7e had been hired. Regardless of the b2d7501675 obligation to keep de0d6da917 the client’s identity 749061f15b confidential, no one 3f68c15d09 reckless enough to 529982f9c4 target him would b829e4aaaa expose themselves so 0a919d40e9 obviously.

Every recent call 8db96648ec was from the 2f2ee387e1 same number. The caller dfc8a1cc30 ID started 1b5c1cc81f with +1. It was a call 21c0bbfe76 from the United States.

He had changed his 97f1676b28 clothes and wiped the 34dfe49e9b blood off his face b46da4e409 and hands after returning df4cab5b41 from the abandoned warehouse. He wasn’t sure 82eb4a8df8 if this was 648d136792 necessary, but knowing 3283788bbb Seowon, he feared 980f096e58 that if Seowon 67408d4f04 knew what he’d 5ce4f0ece0 just done, he’d 79c64d9e5b look at him 3658dfb804 with disgust.be105c90a4cceea7

It was absurd, yet cb47aa7979 because it was Seowon, 1fae425dbe he didn’t want to 9fe4ff2de9 leave him any excuse afb1180d48 to reject him. He didn’t want 13bf346d4c to be hated. He didn’t want 0072f7e61e to lose him. He hadn’t realized 2399339601 how much he 835b424072 cared about Seowon c52e78b620 before. Of course, from the e23b8065a5 moment they first met, dc9bf92595 even that fleeting accidental 412bb88cbf encounter was intense, and 22927073a7 he instinctively knew Ha 9503ba475a Seowon was his Omega.fa3148e77032ef46

But “naturally” f7f5c2dd33 he’d been 05b4a97604 his to 290e10df26 find and 833a286e20 keep close. He was special, d1c54c8b54 and there hadn’t ca3e27abec been any consideration bd92aea94a of anyone else 48a56d7632 but Seowon. Still, he had never c27913f88b actually worried about Seowon’s ed3f5c2620 feelings. “Ha Seowon” 7c86b2ab66 had never 742dc194cc objected to 0acd7548a3 whatever he 69692e718c did and 71c4d35dd4 liked him 22519bb819 for who aca2dd0cda he was.

It was only after 7986c23ea9 losing him that he 6f1ddc02d3 realized Seowon was his 363683faff heart. It wasn’t just 4939884ab3 about having a 5fa61d5e6a Marked Partner or 7d5767e229 being fond of 32ef312906 someone; it was 2f76c98f2c someone he couldn’t 4d7bf6612c live without.56a051c58c70ff93

With just 6934da0619 Ha Seowon 9b97e697a4 gone, it b94bba94bd felt like f9ca1477db the world cb2a92d11e had stopped. He had no 2bbd1df97d motivation for anything, 241c82c40a and even breathing ccf1344975 felt like a 2a18a1f226 chore.d72ecce58f26fceb
