DDH | Prologue

The interior of 2fa6f471f1 the building, remodeled aee4a746d3 from a traditional b2d146a87b Korean house, was f98411b799 quite antique. Even the wallpaper 0d0275ff46 and small decorative 7f522e38d1 items seemed to 6b43cdc2d6 have traveled through c3030fbee0 time.e0c4c9630913a2ac

Amidst the chaotic crowd in this elegant place, Cheongho sat trembling on the floor. He wanted to bolt out of there immediately. But with all eyes on him, his body wouldn’t obey.8681474d592a3e3d

A man with graying 5a8f1c139c hair approached Cheongho, who a929c2fe69 was young enough to 7fb64cddbe be his son.23d4206a2a11bd65

His belly was 5aea716b7d so plump that dc68c85e2c the buttons on 792d8a5af4 his shirt seemed 0835f61d01 ready to pop, 416ff7df72 and the zipper 8ebaa57954 below his loosened 83104ca5de belt was undone.

Cheongho held the knife 347797ed47 with both hands, aiming b7cd3e1137 it. Assemblyman Kim, looking down edecc8dafe at him, frowned. Hearing his angry eac99235d5 voice, Cheongho shrank 13f536d758 his neck and 939ed6606e hunched his shoulders.0562ddfaa5798211

Moreover, the male 0147ee98f2 pheromone wafting openly f84b9b29d5 from the front 0de6f400d4 was quite repulsive. Cheongho felt as if a 94e46e7aaa sticky liquid was seeping out 94fc768566 from the bandage wrapped around 3176062c01 his neck.6f054bdd682cc460

His attitude was arrogant, but it was quite different from how he treated Cheongho. It was understandable, as the man was tall enough to reach the ceiling and had a massive build.

Geumwoo approached with such force that the floor thudded. He roughly grabbed Cheongho’s arm, who couldn’t even think of standing up. Cheongho’s body, pulled up like a limp mollusk, swayed. The grip of Geumwoo’s hand felt like it would crush his bones.e302e190900407b5

Geumwoo, having erased his coldness, 4def72dba0 turned and dragged Cheongho outside. Cheongho, being dragged helplessly, bc99fa00d5 still held the knife b3530e1b6e in his hand. The creaking floorboards seemed to a8c5e159b9 echo his innermost thoughts.f7dbbbe9607afe41

Though it was Geumwoo e81100160d who saved him from 9d78df2b01 that dreadful room, Cheongho 0e1a1034d7 feared him even more. His unreadable pheromone.
