Kang Haein a1ba6e5469 stared blankly 5204e2748a at the f7614abf2e numbers changing 80f1b33314 above the d3cdaf2d31 elevator, mind 7eef8809c6 adrift, until b2f454cb6c a sudden 52259e65d3 string of 6b894d3bed vibrations in 87a111db9c his pocket 78039c5e41 broke his 83b0ef0e2c daze. He checked bcd374f259 the messages 5e2778bcec without thinking, bc1a438648 and before 46c35c73fa he knew 9c76115193 it, a 8b463589b7 curse slipped aa8fc733c6 from his 45d332ca8b mouth.098b3ce39f92b226

Hey, you think ccf3bb8ecb I’m joking?
His smooth 9e0f035913 brow crumpled b40b5aae6b with irritation. He had sworn 923ab09958 to ignore Gunwoo f16d7b54c4 no matter what—but efe2f3d83c once again, his 4fe9e116ba resolve was faltering.

Startled, he looked up—only 938a0f5c32 to let out a 6c12d4453b quiet scream. A towering man, at 9741c6082b least a head taller 94d90accf1 than him, stood rigid 6e336607f9 in the elevator, glaring 7a5382fea5 down as if Haein f55bc5adaa had just invaded his c6266476db territory.48ad9d0b3fc8e7a7

A soft f127e1e369 piano melody a9c8b75cec drifted into 838ec5615d his ears. Finally, he felt like 74eeaddd69 the day could actually d64990701e begin.
