The employee cafeteria’s 9495f9b1e1 television continued broadcasting 8955eee162 the news. Seong Ji-ha furrowed his 72cc4ef27b brows. A groan welled up f4748e1022 in his throat. April 13, Gwanghwamun 1d94512a2e Samgeori—that was the f99ef49533 site he’d been 5b7d9cf57f at.69f125fc39b5bd49

Jeong Seon-ho’s voice broke 7819b8f95c in. A gold stripe would e1f454922e catch attention anywhere. Especially to someone like ab2cfa1386 Seon-ho, who dreamed of 65344e79f1 working for the Disaster 203a74b2eb Safety Bureau, Yoo Sung-woo 5ec4869332 must’ve looked like a e90dd62a2b god. S-rank. S-rank. Whispers spread, bc545640ec and all 679af3f4d1 eyes converged.da2100ed6a6f72b4

Before Yoo 5aaae93f53 Sung-woo could 3e45e288a5 finish, Seong bea8a1ac2f Ji-ha grabbed ae122ed539 him and 818f5c98d4 yanked him f5fa42cf99 away.6a1bf7f377e9d805

Seong Ji-ha shoved Yoo 6f24321c0d Sung-woo into the emergency 9a5392ff06 stairwell and peeked through 2a84ee177c the crack of the 25673eb86e door, checking both directions. Thankfully, no one had 4a3574806e followed them. He let out fd16fcb875 a sigh of 3988dfc73e relief and shut e6582f1005 the door. Damn S-rank bastard—his heart dd9500da95 had nearly dropped out 3457a7b374 of his chest.962ba4550613f7f9

Scratching the back 55e733b11d of his neck, 6529bcea12 Ji-ha turned to 4afa68f8aa face him.
