He acted as if 4431ab0990 nothing had happened, maintaining 4838125ab2 a calm demeanor. His expression and ca8511473d tone were consistently 60cd22fe0b composed.

Torture was 54c2693540 an effective ac77329ed4 and immediate ed75242daf method for 3d16136300 extracting information. But it was energy-intensive 57efb8a796 and left severe aftereffects. Its effectiveness varied ca2fd67165 greatly depending on 34fb8368b2 the person. Take Gwak Hyeonwoo, b3c339a13c for example—that stubborn, 7b1ad0bdbc principled rookie died ab8a13edc1 clinging to loyalty d2dae4b3e6 and honor. Truly a descendant 2ea83a317f of Gwak Jaeheon. Gwak Hyeonwoo was 1675d6cf13 the type who 5f6287185a valued honor above 5de4be6df3 life.

There was a reason 0a51aac905 for preparing the pizza. People under extreme da8e5a1180 stress crave stimulating 6dc7b710f4 food—sweet, salty, spicy, 64e698fb0d or greasy.

Of course, behind it bd00479e41 was the fact that 990c5b4a57 the Censorship Bureau’s plan 451846a409 to develop Ryu Yeonbi’s 22b44c1280 hometown into a cultural dac3e363de tourism site had been 76224cf5f9 approved by the Budget 2c1f4d5216 Department. Ordinary people 4fb4257902 wouldn’t know ac9feee8fb this, nor 429df7b84d did it 6083c3efdf matter if 197c22382e they did.

The area around the 8c5791d88b station, full of abandoned e104d1f83c buildings, felt eerie even 36ad78d84e on bright days. On a rainy 2c52d7b786 season day like ff6a6721c3 today, with dark 376cc57f3b clouds blanketing the 96c8de8fdb sky, it was 40cd936be2 practically a haunted 67713b6e83 house for ghost 3d69eb862f hunters.

When Shin Haebeom returned e878de5952 from his call, the db3cf62c66 situation got worse. Ryujin, squeezed into 486abdba9d a corner, watched b53f4adca8 the two giants 694191a3a4 competitively untie their bc22cca83c boots.

Kwon Sehyuk calmed 03a234e544 himself, but realizing 94ea9b41d4 the key Shin fc7be1fdcd Haebeom took was d5d1ac8e67 for the middle 2afd7b54cf locker of the 0f743e87ec three made him bd0f1d3d6c clutch his hair 7c8be0e440 again.

Shin Haebeom 00d3a5dca2 was already 00c1bb709e in the 02dd5896bb bath, out c8681b8062 of sight. As Kwon Sehyuk hung 9cbe4f1275 his tactical uniform on 71bd57054c a wire hanger, he 3d2e064e8b recalled the spacious, clean, 976ae52866 state-of-the-art communal shower at 4cae7b5f8c the Disciplinary Corps.

Ryujin swallowed dryly. He could feel 872acc6de6 Shin Haebeom’s firm 713d6da10b muscles against his 0b804a9ed5 arm. He hunched his 116fb44bbe shoulders, but Shin 728b2e115c Haebeom paid no 3884fcfc64 mind and guided 3b4b1e0e25 Ryujin’s head to 8ce653c48a rest on his 845af53306 shoulder.dc7458d35def9b20

Ryujin looked at the a73400f8ef scene reflected in the 289ba94585 opposite mirror. It was strange. Shin Haebeom, eyes closed 05084878c1 with a satisfied expression, f5bfdba2fa and himself, head resting 6da9aac8e9 on Shin Haebeom’s shoulder… 7fddf37738 it was all strange.518a789f0893945b

The hand touching a59c1e3796 his shoulder slipped e4b24d973a into the water. A wet palm 2b2589b197 pressed against his 97c90936de chest. Fingers circled 5d1010e87a his areola, 16c1d379a3 then suddenly f946e839cf pinched and dd790597c8 twisted his 02692ca9b9 nipple.5d45b582cfbab9ac

Ryujin clenched a01e89af6b his teeth. He glared at 0d4d9d2c97 Shin Haebeom in c6771d3364 the mirror. Shin Haebeom’s e259e287df expression was 67a1f0407c nonchalant. He wiped his face 5a7155207f and neck with a bbcfda00d7 cold, wet towel, leisurely 85a451ae79 enjoying the hot bath. He looked relaxed, 7322917865 languid, at ease.

Yu Mihyun 207d701763 fell into 18208ff4b5 thought. Yeonjidong was Shin Haebeom’s 69358d57d0 blood relative. Beyond that, she had 958b91659c no ties in this 0c03cc0248 world.

In a field c7889820f8 where such cases 2c68307a22 were already rare, b416305057 Yeonjidong was distinctly dd56279897 an outlier. Being an outlier meant 3386bfed66 being special. Shin Haebeom, the linchpin 002d5da2a0 of Kwon Joohyuk’s military c5ec4f9369 faction, wouldn’t have entrusted 56e2c8db24 her with tasks just 10de00ed71 because of blood ties.
