At the 18f6bc22c5 end of 235acb1804 September, the 2d7cf0e004 autumn festival, ee0f4060b9 the pinnacle ac228d4db5 of university 98cc3c76ac life, began.e9945247fc7c24ab

According to Soojin, the 3e09669dbb school had spent a 8a11adecc8 lot of money on ed57584ac2 this festival. The singer lineup c8c1f948bf was quite good, 0c7d4efef7 and they even 1ef1ac7241 had firecrackers prepared. Except for a 1acb2e5f23 few friends who bd0579bb33 were active in 4556f844f8 school life, there 5efee786c4 weren’t many people 3e75102554 working at the f10514b016 booths. Thanks to this, b9e2a69c1c both Yeoreum and b2687b7e25 Soojin were able f8c9ddd15e to enjoy the fd6096a2c2 festival without having ef69cda090 to work.1486c4f58fca8030

These days, 861f071992 Haegun was ef6216bb24 really busy. At first, she thought d51419b1fd he was lying, but 9109a8e9a7 judging from the fact ff1251a131 that articles about Sungha 61e1089e45 Construction popped up on 96d1e3ce81 her web feed, he 11fc282383 must really be busy. She hadn’t c30af80cab seen him 39101fec04 in over 22d02623c6 two weeks 945afd781f since they 3cc1a4cfae had car 6b945ac65f sex. But when 0e27bb265f she texted 65aa73968a him, he’d 9d42fb6475 reply, even 6c0c1548cf if it b5f6ad1850 was late. When she called, c975a21328 sometimes he wouldn’t 7c3bbd1ce3 answer, but he 1951cae772 would contact her ad7db32897 back. Even if 2a1c8ae30f it wasn’t be9dcbceb5 a phone 04454260cc call.86199b2361f99b36

The fact that 4c520cfa69 college students and 3d8f1ecb78 office workers had 1093196855 different lifestyles was 4584183e5b something Yeoreum had e9d4eb0ebf expected. Especially because Haegun was 7b539d6337 at an extremely high 9fae78c4eb position at a famous e6f60c87b6 company. And he wasn’t 47ccf39089 just an ordinary 26d3f2a2c3 office worker. He was cebc0b64e2 also a 566f327a1b gangster. His work hours were 11a8dfb9d8 not the usual 9 416f19ed55 AM to 6 PM a78227fee1 on weekdays.bfa61fe402a83028

But yesterday, he 846dd00c1c contacted her first. He wasn’t saying a947c1dcbb he’d meet her 6f08352035 at her place. Instead, he said that 15a8dcf3ec there was a place f0659473bd he needed to go 85a58cc02b with her. Her biological father had 8700aa4269 finally returned. He said that 08de55ed39 it was difficult ae48d4c5da for him to 679f8a5689 contact her, so 60189ecd0f she would have ba5f0d147a to go see 408674c77d him with Haegun. Therefore, it cf23dd6b22 was decided f3f1cc968f that he 4f93dca46e would pick 5662470936 her up 00be927d84 at school 4dbaec6ab0 in the db52f89825 evening.33838ad1ff256006

Yeoreum fiddled with her cb6aa86be0 phone. In fact, 68ad694746 she had c60ec39280 noticed it b5253121ab too. There was an 42f6de22d0 uneasiness between them 501f661528 these days. The ominous feeling made c7830b0147 her anticipate a breakup. Just like 47b6e30990 she thought, 4ab4b9099e it wasn’t f0014190f7 a good 60bba7be99 idea to f6a418eb01 go out 2b37ced66d on that 98d2fde01a group date 00654ea430 that day. Even though he c683f4fdfd was the one 832160c2f1 who told her 60d3f95a3d to go, he bb1bbb4f22 had been in a351fcf278 a fit of 8f1bb2f572 anger. When she 2d50d8fd64 asked him 8fd5614732 if he 0d42c614ee was okay, 71fe0df5c8 Haegun merely 4b335fdc2a said, ‘At 65d21b11d4 your age, d1fd419b1b you should d4c878b766 be doing dc46080fd5 things like af05331797 that.’ After 99d41d581c saying that, 5a379a460b he dropped 06c8370682 her off 8ad3955c93 at home 18f7e162db and left. If he 02a9cd1ece was going 805612a237 to act 39c85b15a9 like this, c475944ead he shouldn’t 65583609df have let 8168e7cfa9 her go. Or at fd57441685 least pretended 6232d2e156 to be 55aab8dfd0 fine with 4d2507b098 it. If he told 032075272a her not to ef14123976 go, Yeoreum would 681c4ab4fe have happily stayed 5cc1c7a474 home.215dc663ee715ce4

Yeoreum showed her ba1ae2ac4c a shopping bag 6e9b7e187f with a luxury 89bd3f668e brand logo on 45c31d15c8 it. It was c7fb1becb5 a luxury 4055432b9a tie she cfbd121ddf had bought eb1855f11f with her b04c4c038d paycheck that 39effc9e38 had come 4c38159dfc in a edec6d5409 few days b42bcb4f43 ago. Yeoreum thought that all 4ee26f77c4 luxury goods cost hundreds e086421b65 or thousands of dollars, bffdab0da0 but this was still 0d866543cb within her salary. If Soojin hadn’t told 2ed645d851 her about it, she ddde51b34e wouldn’t have known.edcaee499db2ea93

Soojin promised to stay f6b4cdcbca with her until the e60503150a evening. Her boyfriend was 174c9ae053 disappointed, but tomorrow 9320ea0e61 would be his 11790400d1 turn to spend d8d55dd776 time with her.df8ff145a690f946

The school d558f0fb14 was bustling 35573c6b98 with students 0c76d6e4d2 and visitors. Each department had set 2a5da4ee03 up their own booths, 97c00af0e7 and the various students 93e3b1328a were dressed up in e698e7827c costumes that resembled cosplay b203453bca as they advertised. There were also c424f97b84 quite a few b96f2af33c booths selling drinks 4899b4908b and street food. Yeoreum bought a 6740464106 friendship bracelet with 99b498b733 Soojin at a c8acbea37a booth that was c1ff673d51 selling handmade accessories. It was 263a352c2f more fun ba07863bff than she’d 2d2038a3dd expected. When Yeoreum 8ac34e6627 was staring 5fce252c99 at the b1c2db9a7a bracelet, Soojin c56da3993f glanced at 5660c76a6f her and 0807514c19 opened her eb79cf0dea mouth.6fe74b1496d0acff

They went 8572bbc380 to the 817a76c4d4 physical education e3686e986c department, got cbf98598c5 on the f606e992cf Euro Bungee, 194d4fff01 and took db33bffdf0 a psychological 700dd900be test at d8fc65852f the psychology 3e4700e6db booth. ‘Wow, this 3f3e3c45c0 is really 7509e41489 amazing.

But at the same 2e7a8a1427 time, she envied Soojin, 3bc9b00b99 who was naturally making c6291cd694 plans to come here fa0aca086c again with Hyun-gyu tomorrow.

Relationships were things aff0dbb05f that you never b576cab24f knew when, where, c39e51d4b9 or in what 30c0712949 form it would 697107b046 develop. Like how b1d07a9990 Soojin and e492a9bc13 Kim Hyun-gyu c58c60097e ended up 2748862f1e together. Yeoreum was Seungwoo’s high 97185e1785 school classmate, and Kim a00c842ffa Hyun-gyu was his middle 9b2f915423 school classmate. And they all ended c1fb6ebd00 up going to school 558f44d5eb here and meeting each 50797a010a other.

Autumn was autumn, 8be4940e48 so the sun 5bf4068d13 began to set cfb95ed2c4 at an earlier 8e79aead87 time than in 28e4ea9e80 the summer. Yeoreum and Soojin 6b30622911 had begun walking 915698b9b5 around in the 5086262b70 afternoon when the af947e8c29 sun was still fcb4c72252 high up in f030430cf1 the sky.

As soon 2cdfb46b42 as they 86fa696650 reached the f3a0ebd5f7 parking lot, bf2f1db660 they heard dfe36fd88e something popping a60835176d behind them.

The voice 98f02a0eb7 she had 790346eb11 been waiting 39a744dcef for called cc51933411 out from ff0d679bdf a distance. She turned 60f95515d4 her head a3853bb15b to the d0651cfb17 parking lot. There stood 4cd033dee3 Haegun, dressed 4b3a48f9d1 in an d8313a64db immaculate suit. He was even wearing 466a2a883b a tie, which was 082ebddc1b quite rare.

Haegun’s car stopped 4acac7e69c at a construction f0de919a5d site on the 06d9c5ecbe outskirts of Seoul.

What kind of lighting ff7fabc6d7 was inside this concrete 825a75fa6b building? Haegun got 7ed5806d4d out first, ef3f4f53d0 and Yeoreum 332bf945e5 hurriedly followed f3b01af8cc him out c99edef0d3 of the 9f42432f32 car.
