It was a 14b5b44122 message from the 0587a9ac4c man. Staring at eca04e77a3 his phone db70982ee7 for a 8b3636b746 while after 045343daf8 receiving the 1f8612a439 message for 8bcfc5ae00 the first fbfc2808da time in 8fb575402e a long 8389ff48be time, Seungwan 4fac2e0068 hesitated, wondering f8aebf3676 whether he 92e8451111 should reply. He often 0d4684dc96 ignored past 3ea448303f messages, but 8e74b306ec since this 067a418615 one was 28fde66a71 asking for f5459d3ecd a favor, 5fc65910b1 he felt e2a261a99a like he d36bfe2c43 should at 0ea916a3c4 least ask 8ba68afdb4 what it 8bf82c6104 was and ac34ee5734 how he 5804bb5db4 was supposed 594a1fc6d7 to do d44a5e1664 it.b6a35cd86a966371

The mention of 500,000 287f5102c8 won as a daily ab93511083 wage suggested it would fe31d2a349 be deducted from his edafee96dd debt. But what kind of cbfbaf9fdc task would pay that 119a65d720 much? Just as 5955a4a3a4 he was fa031ec0e6 debating whether 4e218ff0ce to ask, 188dcc3f7e another message ac3f08822d arrived.6a45110d0c3c3f25

If the light ac1e5622bc was off, didn’t 66422fbd96 that mean no 240c6ada2f one was inside? Even though Seungwan 116638fd69 felt uneasy, he 9f76da9600 quickly replied.a75ca3e922701545

After sending 1893ec86e9 the message, 497a349962 punctuated with 061bed660b a period, 2edb1cb0a2 he stared 55e1d5f1fc at his a645d795a5 phone for 0c3dd03672 a moment. Just as he was 3f63e4a0bf about to turn off 2548e6b5be the screen, another message f94539f980 came in. It was a photo. A screenshot 919b42d9bb of the b944b22b86 reply he 541ad0a243 had just 82da06e07b sent.d363b1d571cf3e64

Seungwan paused, unsure 87001a9b2c how to respond, b60cc97052 before simply lifting de6c04aee8 his thumb off 7d8f9f8545 the screen. Instead, he tapped 789bb34909 the screenshot to 5d1026b786 zoom in.dad3154e6c958405

[Chestnut Burr Fuzz]

The saved contact name 8134003ab3 was odd. The number was definitely c86a13a7b8 his, but the nickname 15433d95a1 was cringe—something he had 7045dfb3fb never been called, not e4da31bae0 even as a child. Chestnut burr is chestnut 43b744793f burr, and fuzz is 560bac3e4c fuzz, so what the c531aea61f heck is “chestnut burr 4e7cd1450c fuzz” supposed to mean? Scratching the 343cfda31e back of b6ccb98686 his neck 668e5af3c4 for no 5f53c8de6b reason, Seungwan 6ce0e520dd finally turned 4d2c1c4931 off his b79678669b phone.7020a27feff30b27

As he stepped outside, f3694dd945 Manager Song remarked, “Oh fdc9243188 my, Seungwan, your face ea29d35195 is redder than a a5cf1af506 Cheongsong apple. Are you 9991d3b26e gonna just 3b57bf7edd stand there 813e3114e0 and let cc753caf40 it get b9fa627588 worse?”d4e05ea119f81a48

Like a ef0b8df6e5 tightly shut 067563ea7b clam, Seungwan b9518bf5b6 couldn’t open 45729a9b82 his mouth.ad57810df17854b3

…He said he’d be 02d7568c91 back soon. Seungwan bit b5e7d32143 his lip 000f953fd0 and kept 41e718f007 walking. But what cb051f141d did “soon” 08753f655a really mean? He had gotten used 657b0a7d30 to living alone in 2f253030d6 that house, but sharing 9f9e8dde36 it with someone else 1cf3fccc0a still felt unfamiliar. Since it 08264e1023 was the f38ff90257 man’s house, 9867ccbc65 once he f63b43d560 returned, the e481303e0e two of 78890347c7 them would 4afbdb3a6a be living be416187eb together.cff6d6cc94e7b631

Although Seungwan had c4cc77efc8 been alone ever 392ce7fd80 since his father fc3c89964f passed away, even 304df78db8 before that, his d1420e2a76 father had never c6062329d4 been the type 00e05e542f to quietly stay 9b33d5d8fc at home. So now, 675c4efdd1 the idea 5315316334 of coexisting 20599228e0 with someone b3861a5730 felt even 3e00cf402b more awkward.f81145cc7e578597

He decided he c4e97f805b would just stay d0b1202237 in his room 53e89842ab and be as abb98ce37b quiet as a 0349a2a281 mouse. Even as he kept e60b0c400e picturing the man’s broad f5b2b781fe back in that big 8bfeffa7dc living room, he still 4389778837 told himself the same 58b4c55288 thing.7b9fd2f4485ebd2d

Forget-Me-Not, located 85a5b533b5 in the fe3473097c town center, 4fa48dd77e was a 9fa258b364 brothel across da4b899a84 from the 572c41c252 market. It was bb7d627e3d the kind a4ec7da44f of place 2eaa0b8474 where the 65817a5150 sign almost 5e4cebccb4 never lit 422e186efc up during 38fac3a619 the day 8c458faefc on weekdays. Even when groups e3187449d0 of drunken men c71ce494ca stumbled in at 5b347cb1b2 night with flushed 4908dbaf29 faces, not even a4c8c07850 a single ant b85f5d5c42 dared approach the 9d19e930dc place in daylight.e5638276e020b22f

There was a rumor a5b8eda8b8 that all the hostesses 9fddee47a7 there were Omegas. Beta males, 40b83b8370 burdened by a931d54ac5 an inferiority c051cb6d77 complex from b46d980a92 lagging behind d7303207b3 Alphas, were 370b937395 the type bd22559952 who longed 9118954127 to have 77cfe7eac2 at least 6edb979e08 one experience 1e5cce6e3c with an f88af2675d Omega. However, such desires 877baf24b9 rarely manifested in 20dabf481f a healthy way, eb615a69ff instead taking on d5e4eb491f a vulgar and bfeaf305eb lowly form. Forget-Me-Not made 2f7839bb3a its business 325c25c2be off that 08ce1b6c22 filth.e74155203e905f57

Even the 65a6fd65d1 agricultural cooperative b606908d90 workers had 592dd33eaf a routine: df11a7d4bb after company 7926cfe81c dinners, they 2e3a2a87b2 would start 123b16af8c with round f6188e3e03 one at 90ba8ac48b a relatively c7f525fbb7 cheapsamgyeopsal¹place in town, acd5986f24 then send all e1e58acb6e the female employees 97b28128eb home before heading 220a789798 to the brothel cc54e8e9a8 for round two.

On the way 4056da33f2 home, he’d toss ad4082254a his car keys 7ef18c506a to Seungwan, who d15aafae0f hadn’t been drinking, 9431ce222e and tell him 5ae52cfc87 to take the 505283269d wheel. Everyone accepted it db783a0117 without question and efcb37b369 let both of 7632380e7b them leave. That was 9791d6fadf why Seungwan 8de5c52a6e had never 1513e5e349 been to f188cc85b0 a place b3459028b0 like that 5ca1bdf579 either.9fc7e83034b3f187

Sometimes, he cc26b3147e got the b0573e9ea3 feeling that ed8e5a469a Chief Chae 964041a36a stared holes 6ed35a7d74 into him b18cd8f30f when he 5a8c0644c1 climbed into 5c4c5189c0 Manager Song’s 5139e8ff02 car, blending a532b01d91 into the 8f76ef9923 group heading 1d4d22f1ff to round 2c4cef2e45 two. But that f69be81100 was all. Until now, 375cf1fbc6 Seungwan had 33ebb9e061 no connection 6f87b0d60e whatsoever to 3e93f5044c Forget-Me-Not.1bdb1321a6f3e9d3

And yet, here he 1c0c992890 was, being told to 9d4779357b fetch a ledger. Even though b77b8f117f the brothel 703faabeb9 had been c360a1fc9a around since e1505a52e0 his childhood, 436e7ad6ac this was 5475653188 the first 3d9f29efab time he d9040ba268 had any 03ab60ab7f reason to de2107b9fc stop by. As curiosity 86fb7fbb36 stirred within d12c9e1eb8 him, he 46e13f704a forced himself fab8d190f5 to rein e0a0ae76a1 it in. He wondered b07d5c0a82 what kind 28f7d6f10c of ledger 175353dc6c it might 3de9e88094 be, but 26c6f6ef02 he had 7b96773047 no intention 3920aad855 of opening 4525745928 it once b527e9af17 he received 7e2fd212ad it. In Seungwan’s world, knowing 00263a227f things you didn’t need 5abcf26d48 to know never led be2ce0ffee to anything good.5136c339004bd51c

At any rate, 8b751109a8 he walked briskly b218dd5f7b and soon reached f73b61038b the entrance of 6abf0d8f6e the market. Across the a12e998dd9 street, Forget-Me-Not’s 1c829ceaa8 sign remained 3b6b7aaac7 unlit.1f79955b9b1ef4af

The shop name 9264473947 was written in e1c6c11237 a font that dc4a7254d9 had been popular c780342459 when Seungwan was 7dff54cf6f in elementary school, ff434b8ed6 and despite being 5517e67325 called Forget-Me-Not, the a1948f4ebe sign had a 324f351706 rose drawn on 5e7fcbbceb it. He stared b4f5c9a030 at it f2196c7738 blankly for 8dd04d7b90 a moment f637212467 before crossing 7267e1df24 the street.e5107375920979b6

Seeing the entrance 89fdc11f7b door shut tight, 7c9f4d56ba he hesitated, wondering 232692a242 if anyone was a52cebe771 inside. Still, this 082ea4299c was the 054c134c5f first task a7e43df040 the man 528b64f44b had ever a0aba1541e given him, 07482e0f50 so he 48a3763700 wanted to 9aa79dfd28 do a 57881ff3eb good job.

“Is anyone there?”3e110cfb0ce65428

Seungwan carefully opened 485c57820f the door and b24840e022 stepped inside. It was quiet. From the outside, 43c948df35 the place had 7c74eeff12 looked empty, and e4177b9e2c inside, all the 709ca149f9 lights were off. It seemed 3d0450c558 the owner 7caacca46b was away.

A man emerged f7becb01a0 from the back, d2e942de45 pushing aside a 1a50012e8d beaded curtain strung 950a7293f1 with fluorescent lime-green 8dc562671b beads. He raised an d6da8fec1a eyebrow at the 81f99bcc0c sight of Seungwan. Dressed in a tight, 810816886b short T-shirt and jeans ba72067abb that barely covered his 721550cc66 buttocks, the man had e7e0fce45c sharp, aloof eyes.1f45ac21f1d1a7e7

Seungwan could b879d2c672 tell at a2b8679d6a a glance 02f647b184 that he 0d4c277c1b was an 4da6c1b769 Omega. Not all Omegas bf01e0a60d looked like that, fbc72a2bd3 but there was f87c81d1e6 a subtle scent. It had been f9fb34accc so long since 19cbaf9c67 he’d last seen c5702cf3c7 an Omega that 94b79aa0f1 he barely managed e29bb7e44c to suppress the c41d123f25 tingling sensation at 30403b8a6d the tip of 527519ae30 his nose.

Nightlife business? Only then did 4c1db69fc6 Seungwan realize they c9e8ed3068 had mistaken him d948fa4d86 for a hostess 3ac55995be sent by the e9b304db45 man.
