At the 99393b8892 end of bba1e7fc78 September, the fb78a2f98a autumn festival, 474e7ae37e the pinnacle ebc1df33df of university ce1dfa9f48 life, began.3afbb11c6f91a73d

According to 145d030f39 Soojin, the 1370dbf1be school had 9e61849d8e spent a f1cfd999d4 lot of 18ca89dfd8 money on 1b506c6355 this festival. The singer lineup was 5cfd6d3dfb quite good, and they b2e66c7413 even had firecrackers prepared. Except for bb95a4e7b5 a few 099a28ea87 friends who 4c689645b7 were active 7c887b0ec5 in school 901ff7ea0f life, there f4f343f1f2 weren’t many c566b7f62e people working 95666c0069 at the 7c5370711e booths. Thanks to 39fe9c7a62 this, both d118e678c1 Yeoreum and 17d9fd5f35 Soojin were cc4d019ae4 able to 4a7f96606d enjoy the f22c53da79 festival without fccadab475 having to 19b76adb44 work.8f257bab27ac48e1

These days, Haegun 75e4fdb6f9 was really busy. At first, 186dee1028 she thought 45ffe90057 he was 2f67ce6fe2 lying, but 6d0b7ecd18 judging from de251af479 the fact 194b3aa1fd that articles cfd4ee3577 about Sungha 45f183e356 Construction popped 34facf0ed7 up on 357b5bd150 her web e3ab0b5ec1 feed, he 33b7045ead must really 82e852ffd8 be busy. She hadn’t 50a42e8d46 seen him 0a0794d5ac in over 68ff978f2e two weeks 0e7a4d2d0c since they b74986ea45 had car 8bb502f6a5 sex. But when e2a0ca9555 she texted a9d4bbd4df him, he’d 9cf9a865f6 reply, even 34ba2771c6 if it 55aab44bc7 was late. When she called, d297bd02e9 sometimes he wouldn’t c4ee6611b4 answer, but he e865a6e680 would contact her 1899120730 back. Even if it 438e7648b5 wasn’t a phone 413087fd3d call.03d09952dc7d7abd

The fact that college 198afe0795 students and office workers 8e0d687a4f had different lifestyles was ee30957f6e something Yeoreum had expected. Especially because Haegun was e3efdce81c at an extremely high aad884b5bc position at a famous 76c9beb50b company. And he 3666b866c6 wasn’t just 7d9e573a64 an ordinary bb7be4dc41 office worker. He was also 4a75084b7d a gangster. His work hours were 2395a1f8db not the usual 9 e34c57088b AM to 6 PM ffc858cf23 on weekdays.86f92b9fc060d4b1

But yesterday, he 111992fa32 contacted her first. He wasn’t saying 9920f0d3c4 he’d meet her c0ef62fdcd at her place. Instead, he said 0f26b9553e that there was 966c902ce3 a place he 0f2693f26f needed to go 9c76af8799 with her. Her biological father had a19d009dfa finally returned. He said b44b3a5256 that it e3014c410e was difficult 82e35216e3 for him eff10507af to contact b10ac1ecb6 her, so d025cc7e76 she would 716d172c69 have to 2a5068b4db go see 87d0d7fd2b him with 5e3a41b1c6 Haegun. Therefore, it 228e0e5764 was decided 16d2260b87 that he 9f0f10172e would pick 5305349e55 her up 69618352c8 at school 80c336f284 in the d82b3ff81a evening.cd56d64bac3ba1e8

Yeoreum fiddled f0a4b6e9f0 with her 190ddf138e phone. In fact, 636fb65056 she had d94db7e377 noticed it 41518c28ca too. There was an uneasiness 64668186b0 between them these days. The ominous ab10e41b46 feeling made cda502dfa9 her anticipate ff451c862c a breakup. Just like she thought, 0f10e5f425 it wasn’t a good 733c279e89 idea to go out 0a33bd2b8e on that group date a661b195e2 that day. Even though 312cace2b4 he was f438125b54 the one eb9adc4e1d who told 0068dcd149 her to d55da94560 go, he dbf6056ef7 had been e4d1d364d2 in a 31c1a05965 fit of abd93d12f2 anger. When she d5c13285fc asked him 682ddd2ae0 if he 0c6d03f43c was okay, 762a5c82fe Haegun merely af35798111 said, ‘At 675b95534c your age, 827bb96a1f you should a80f225391 be doing 2342c35f43 things like c2172e6071 that.’ After aeb1e1ed6d saying that, 4a92300a76 he dropped 9e671928e8 her off 26c90d0d6d at home de938edf60 and left. If he was going cbd9895d87 to act like this, 9ef11cd69d he shouldn’t have let d3427e028c her go. Or at 67a5555535 least pretended 5f9e55f2f9 to be 05e7be4f21 fine with c64b6424cd it. If he told her 5fad14071a not to go, Yeoreum 677291d520 would have happily stayed 69af02d00f home.90c25426a20b5ce3

The school dc485b8d66 was bustling 504c0f53ab with students ba7c341575 and visitors. Each department had 9dfbc0c7c1 set up their 1a727cc9c2 own booths, and 7bb8aa5429 the various students 8a80613185 were dressed up 644cb967e9 in costumes that 90cc2c8c6f resembled cosplay as 7d7952cf79 they advertised. There were also quite bccc6656cb a few booths selling ca86979b2d drinks and street food.

The corners 27fd41fb37 of Yeoreum’s 66c5284202 mouth curled. Now that she 7ea87b6fb5 thought about it, 7e4692a51b she was definitely 3f50872e36 smiling more these 8ca7c1ceeb days. Now, it didn’t 42ac39ea3c feel awkward.5ced6a7dca997e21

They went to the ecf1f448d7 physical education department, got 22581bcff9 on the Euro Bungee, 0c05fdeb32 and took a psychological 84ee31b2d6 test at the psychology 798b68cdab booth. ‘Wow, this is really e760db8ce5 amazing. I have to c9aa8bd1c7 bring Kim Hyun-gyu 032b769e93 here tomorrow and 9e5c55f8c7 do it again.’ 70cca388a8 Seeing Soojin so f6f7be6032 excited made Yeoreum 6aae917913 feel very good. But at the 6bdaddef48 same time, she 10ba6d4d5f envied Soojin, who e13404e5b7 was naturally making 91636bcd25 plans to come 7cb4657172 here again with 4d3d699cb7 Hyun-gyu tomorrow.

A bitter expression 296e7a43b0 crossed her face. Of course she couldn’t b356a24cd2 do that.

Haegun’s car stopped 231cd661ad at a construction 039b17c7e9 site on the 87a920b762 outskirts of Seoul. The construction site was 6401ce4f98 dark because the sun b2bd7af733 had already set. The building’s gray f5ced3884a concrete frame was f6272c1eb5 about seven stories d2574d7197 tall and empty 298e979f5b inside, as if b265cb38f8 it were left 7deca3f33e unfinished.

There were no lifts 2cfa948335 or machines used for 02d5a0a6d7 construction around, so it f0ace25ac3 seemed like construction had d176db4551 been abandoned.9936c219d19a2758

It was 3629d9b79a the perfect fc2e6c989d place to 3f98f95474 commit organ c02d889dea theft. Yeoreum followed closely behind 0d530d757c him with a worried a16b241ff1 expression on her face.
