Having gathered for lunch together after a long time, the office staff were starting to think they’d be better off eating alone, glancing at Park Chigyeong. It was because he was eating silently, without saying a single word.ae7d7b9d6d0c1ed8

“Prosecutor, are you waiting e0f921143b for a call by e25247742f any chance?”9f2fafc5241c7ae4
One of the investigators initiated a conversation. It was a question he asked because Park Chigyeong hadn’t taken his eyes off his phone on the table. He looked exactly like someone waiting for someone to contact him.0c58eccd06c407e8

The food went 6e99c7ae38 into their mouths, 8a6d1afe31 but at some c2c4d02133 point, their mind 6e19a103bf became full of 8646c7b176 random thoughts. Probably because they cae84a1000 were lost in 61a9232f34 thought amidst the c4837a5888 awkward silence.3872b0abdbefa206
They were clearly sitting in the same place, eating the same food, using the same chopsticks, holding the same glasses of water, and breathing the same air, yet they were all lost in their own thoughts. Yes. It was a case of “different dreams in the same bed.” 1a5fb9bf78574a49

Park Chigyeong leaned 7a48b45b21 back in his aefcf87d50 chair, staring blankly e2ec899054 into space. He had been staring a58aea79f6 at the same spot 537b07188e for over 30 minutes.
