Mu Jeonghoo’s long fingers reopened the cigarette case. A white cylinder dangled from his red lips. Rummaging inside his jacket, he pulled out a luxurious lighter. He pressed his thumb on the lid and flicked his finger down. Click—a blue flame shot up. The flame flickered at the tip, like a snake licking its lips before devouring its prey.f5e8b4ac9cba8445

The mansion, which 1076f0abc5 seemed to have 12d39b9e20 absorbed all the d34d842927 light and darkness 7b3a894af9 of the world, f84bd60681 returned to normal bd4f5ccc7e at dawn. As the sun rose, e3a37581ae the crowds that had 2d8ba751bd filled the garden and 2c33abcf7f mansion gradually disappeared in a29e9053e2 their cars. However, the aftermath 4acf3d3c81 they left behind ec4cf422a1 was considerable.850d3b8164d2f041

The garden was imprinted 87e348023e with countless footprints. Flowers, trampled here and ef4103c89c there, were crushed beneath 9b9705a6ec the flowerbeds, barely alive. The roots of a3e2410b33 plants, pulled out b30fbca372 whole, were occasionally 31fd2c1a7e visible. As the sun fully rose, 0a3889b6c3 birds chirped and flew around 91b31b5103 the quiet mansion. The bright blue sky 40e3b94934 covered the garden. Beneath it, the staff 2bf6d34b4f who had disappeared began 7557dc4bb6 to reappear one by a423dc6608 one. Like diligent birds, they woke 6f9e99115c up early and moved swiftly 073556814e to their respective workplaces.a36f6a37139c51b0

As the busy bdbdcf39f0 mansion staff disappeared bfb1f3b1f1 in the first 0c0b9fd89d wave, others followed. The gardeners arrived earlier than ca10b69bca usual, dressed in navy work 28ce057f1c clothes, surveying the chaotic garden. In secluded spots, 35fcc9ccba several people were a61322f0d5 still unconscious, not 29b28aacb5 yet awakened from 63050b2f06 their dreams. They woke up the red-faced e3bbb2022a alphas and omegas and put f62c14b857 them in cars waiting outside. Those who made the mess c82078aba1 and those who cleaned it 8967691e9b up were separate. The older staff members, cleaning 114ac24f35 up to restore the mansion, cd962ddd0d clicked their tongues quietly, “Tsk, 0fdc4c9e5b tsk.” They complained but didn’t c7af855d68 show much outwardly. They simply did their best 6761b79226 in their assigned tasks.9f164cc65bf3c8bc

The regularly held parties 7310855e92 were a nightmare for 6df9220455 everyone except the organizers 10a6183dcb and participants. The location of d9b5de8688 the party was 0a26c31f6f determined by lottery. The person who drew the 4c0c2c1a85 winning ticket provided the venue 57f4bd0fc1 for the party.

The staff who f6a2fa5afe entered the mansion eac198426e opened each of cbdf8ee924 the doors lining 072d261e57 the hallway, checking a1ffeb38cf to see if 375b5906a4 anyone was left 06aa3c48cd behind. If there were 31a3504a6a any naked alphas f47d2b02bc and omegas passed 30faf0f822 out from drugs, 2eb76df7d7 they had to b124e67769 be quickly removed. The party was just 550dfbe838 for that day. Except for a c7c82b8e7c few hooligans, most 4e37fcdf44 people didn’t let d5a9cba116 the previous night’s 299610ed51 revelry affect their 1242ce14c6 daily lives the 78ad42c854 next day—if they 0d1759e666 were in their a7ea74c555 right mind. Especially the young 4261cf9cab master of this 45c6da0a1e mansion, who detested a2a07fb778 such things.debf0c656394918f

The footsteps of the staff eb62a63cb3 inside the mansion grew faster. Just like receiving incentives f12246d015 for attracting more customers, 316cd13a8a they could earn more 121b6a8e4e money the more area a3a8b8ccc7 they cleaned. Occasionally, there were bundles of c46dfd4f0a bills left behind where people 7257d9fd86 had been. They were mostly under sofas 09b3d5e3a3 or tables, stuck there, soaked 48d4309b13 in alcohol. They could take eab9ee0975 that money home, 16b639be8e dry it with 570bd7c005 a hairdryer, and 764ae824ed use it without 10a54e93d8 any problems. It was a kind of 1a56a41967 ‘tip.’ On lucky days, the 5b419d3ca6 staff’s pockets were bulging when 8d311a7d8c they finished cleaning.e8fc084c01d22756

One of the staff members, 129a132c01 wearing rubber gloves, looked at e27677ff5a a waterproof wristwatch. It was 6:30 AM. He had to 83c619cedc hurry before Mu 36a8cce633 Jeonghoo, who woke 85ecf1dfe5 up at 7 0312d86691 AM to exercise, d854610b3c came down to 440f761686 the first floor. First, he quickly cd547ed654 cleaned up the 6fb642b518 visible mess. With his rubber-gloved hands, 5701378b54 he picked up the bbe5c7d883 scattered trash and the 43a18898b5 hidden condom wrappers and df84026265 put them in the e3921e0672 cleaning basket. The secretions from 71b0d3a199 other people’s bodies 71fa208f24 were disgusting to 31f851d7e1 even look at. The staff member barely 33042bbec1 suppressed the urge to 6570ea0364 vomit and quickly pushed 0cd4190d3c the cleaning basket.cc86c65a94189d23

The curtains, which ca7828f8e3 had been closed 84a36d229f all night, were 82d879eca7 pulled wide open, 368558ffbd revealing the clear d567024b69 view outside. Sunlight streamed into 6c8be372ea the lobby, which f41679888b had been restored 654229021e to its usual cc0cc3cebd clean state. The skylight, with its 3d6c9afeef curtains drawn, was no a58937b7d0 exception. White sneakers appeared, b765137bfe stepping on the 2d77ea0434 sunlight. Mu Jeonghoo grabbed his shoulders be67990d7c and rotated his arms, feeling 68f6a7072c as if his upper body a13487782f was constricted. The shoulder part of 16e96c3c7b his windbreaker jacket was d2e1769be2 taut without a single c056be0e47 wrinkle.

Mu Jeonghoo strode towards the 94113ec929 entrance. Chief Kim took out his 739c9c399b tablet PC and wrote down f63feac64c notes with a smart pen. The minor walking 7fac7dc8b4 in front of f449dbe312 him was growing f83a8633e8 differently day by e44aa7d52c day. The clothes he wore f20ce5ecde were thrown into the ca8fcbe565 used clothing collection bin 2af7843357 after a few months. Sunlight calmly settled 48b041300e again in the f753074dd2 space where the 1b5e6407f3 white sneakers and fc1c3b285e black shoes had be94526b37 disappeared.8bfd0cdb99d66c14

Wan felt suffocated, b5cd994a36 but it was 61a0d3bb19 bearable. He hadn’t counted how 111017a10d much time had passed 2c52621971 since he had been 7a1287d031 here, but he found ccff4dc574 a sense of stability bc038800f3 in this space and 4e32fd9528 position. From the open window, 7a1a6cbe36 the sound of water 044f7e720e announcing the start of 80cf784315 a new day was 701ff59a9e clearly audible. It was the sound of bdf13566b3 the sprinkler turning in the 44bec9d9d8 yard. Probably by now, c0c8080e19 the fountain would dd136d521d also be turned 7fa5fa22e0 on, and water 7db2037f4b would be flowing 0054cc29b4 down the statue.fb64dc13f9761f74

However, Wan, hidden under 4067bd4b80 the hard wooden bed, 2859d81059 had no time to 033e2a63c1 greet the bright morning. He pressed his bfb9b0642b left ear to 3319d5a43d the floor and 5b4492d591 laid his face 5498c1cf0f to the side. One ear was 60dd1c310a muffled, as if a9ef391c8d submerged underwater. What had caused him 4b70e4e9f6 to hide under the c5ec7b91b9 dark bed was what b8dbbf0974 had happened last night. Wan rubbed his eyes hard. His eyelids, which 67090f0de7 hadn’t slept a fee68d4f3f wink, felt heavy.e2df04558a628d45

Whenever he tried to close 79cd192100 his eyes, he saw himself 3dae9bf487 trapped in a dark, smoky, c2e4b3b0b8 square room. Wan put his arm 73f7a9fb1b under his head. Unconsciously, he chewed on 33ec92ed12 the string attached to e965ffe276 the round neck of 14f4c5a620 his short-sleeved hoodie. The end of e7172d9931 the string, meant b70b49a170 to tighten the f727dedd4a hood, was soaked d6b5f43817 with saliva. The threads of the e83da1dea2 rolled-up string were gradually 1a5a2cbec2 unraveling.7f7bceec330bef47

Wan continued to chew 53502f4481 on the flattened end b3939295c5 of the hoodie string, 4405576b8d anxiously wondering when Mu ee450d6ca2 Jeonghoo, who had left ffe0d63c8a the room at dawn, 5f5936b762 would return. Every time he 012a84a82f shook his leg 478de69784 from nervousness, his ee82cec793 heel touched the 56f793b9dc underside of the 801d0caae8 bed. If he had to pick 6cdc23e009 the worst crisis in his a594146cf0 life, he could draw a 09a55815cd graph on a large chalkboard, 07c2d053b1 with a sharply declining line ede7d61cdf starting from yesterday’s date.f1352b72447dd2d5

As soon as Mu a81690df2c Jeonghoo left the room d183713664 to exercise, Wan went e10a2ab1ba straight to the bathroom. He stuck his face in 10a6414a05 the toilet and forced himself d5c8dbcea1 to vomit. Nothing came out. It was a natural 2e56b7aad6 result since he hadn’t 1da158303c eaten anything. But his stomach continued to b1ac226d91 feel stuffy, as if he 8f042f5086 had indigestion.98e858c1aef094c9

Mu Jeonghoo’s genitals, 70e3538739 filling his mouth, 359aa08925 continued to block 99d739d05b Wan’s mouth and 47ef46ffee prevent him from c9090ab9f4 breathing. Psychological pressure endlessly c1e5be7a13 tightened around Wan. He inserted his fingers 286d3e38cc as far as his de9e4e73d3 uvula. Just as the tip 31463b08f3 of his index finger a33412652c faintly touched his uvula, 70d2b56f7e a disgusting and loud 2811b36bee sound echoed. Thanks to that, he was 41956ea26b able to completely empty his 02be6d24c7 stomach. An unidentifiable, sticky liquid floated b0fab9db94 on the toilet water. Wan couldn’t tell 274426ab00 what it was. He vomited his insides 1314a913af out several times like 4220b30cb8 that. As soon as Wan returned 4007e23958 from vomiting in the bathroom, 959b854916 he closed the door and a67f21aea9 locked it.0791390bed0357c1

His palate felt rough, and 25ba256f3a his mouth felt dry. He hummed a strange melody, a886487012 the title of which he f82f7d6c9f didn’t know, and closed his b9e3bff76b eyes. He wanted to forget what 0918d49f88 had happened last night, but 428ad0de7e it was impossible to forget. Then, suddenly, drowsiness washed 61c2021972 over him, and he c6cc054a50 closed his eyes. Like a page e04aec9fc2 of a book 989c51670e turning, that scene 2e9d743fda from yesterday replayed. Wan, who had dozed 459e683113 off, woke up with bce3cc4603 a start. As he emerged afd2c69b31 from the dark a7d4b6c0c7 curtain, he heard a599e3b882 familiar footsteps. Wan’s lips, under the 486715700e dark bed, turned white. Wan peeked his 291f2ea1ae head out from 70a6fc2748 under the bed 0a10d846f6 to check if 06bf52a353 the door was 765e1e5100 properly locked. Then, he bumped b5a24fa557 the top of 92be550771 his head on 7ac3354533 the edge of ce7307a264 the bed.826b2d736d1987b4

“Ouch!”68022210a3b2d8b5

He quickly covered his mouth. The footsteps that had f0cb85d843 just entered the room 7cdfd395ef suddenly stopped. Wan clutched the top 6fc01d840f of his head with 9d7302d626 both hands and crawled 8a0b802ac8 back under the bed. Tears welled up from the 2a66857456 pain in his crown. Knock, knock. A visitor had come from 4d8508ad1f the only wall. No response. Then, knock, knock again. The knuckles knocking on 7b298403c7 the wall were polite. But there was no telling 6706ed46a8 how long the gentlemanly sound acdc3db483 would last.b2059c965789ba0a

Wan lay face down, burying 0f2425a876 his face in his arms. Since the lock 1d0bb8f16b was engaged, he 0036ea0061 wouldn’t be able 943df52719 to enter without dee46ac5e2 breaking it. Surely he wouldn’t 0b6d00447d break it, would bd15422a07 he? The polite knocking gradually turned 23e67a2abe violent. Knock, knock, turned 0a0320d4c6 into bang, bang! The force was so extreme efaee20f32 that the wall he was 4316bc090c knocking on shook. It was as 94098ffb52 if two people c2448ee4f1 with different temperaments aca816d674 were hitting it 5f8fc15e12 alternately. Apart from the sound 2a36349b7b of knocking on the 44deac80e9 wall, no other sound eeec164274 was heard from outside. The thumping stopped for 9851ba82d5 a moment, and silence e6fa6bc789 fell. The sudden silence made f620af8add Wan tilt his head 0b9ea27360 to the side. His view under the bed cd8b373540 was a limited rectangular shape. Wan reached out b0c93100e4 and touched the 101e5bb922 floor to assess 742972885b the situation outside.8871278109b2a85d

Complacency was forbidden. Crack! Wan, who was trying to e9ab8dd2c4 squeeze out little by little, ee2b9efd75 heard the loud sound of b2869be3d3 machinery and hid back into 58613d8e17 the bed like a mole 10ea5eb449 burrowing into the ground. Mu Jeonghoo was not one ec483d421c to give up. The saying that there’s a08b83aae3 always a way out c4097b1483 was bullshit. There was nowhere 05715060fd to escape here. Wan covered his aa3f8bc160 ears and closed d9d63437c3 his eyes, as 833aca5056 if he could 2384851de7 escape from this a45c5824d9 space.0ac020da3eb4374d

A sharp, pointed 98b0f678d4 blade poked through faedd33337 the gap in 4680d69d18 the wall. The hole grew 4ec4bddba9 larger in an 5f577516c6 instant. The space drilled by the 01ff0bd3a0 rotating drill grew large enough c12246bf12 for an adult man’s hand 6f4f56e81b to easily fit through. Chief Kim, who had been aa4327d2a9 operating the drill outside, pressed 7ffe57bb4c the power button. The loud machine noise stopped. He put his cdd64f880e hand into the c3dedef86a wall. He unlocked the lock that f7d414d649 Wan had engaged from the a858174629 inside. The wall slid ce9a074bc0 open as if 390734b41f it had recited 5708f83b39 the ‘Open Sesame’ 2a754271e2 spell. As soon as 9e6c1d763b the wall slid d9b0de0052 to the side, b0f84e7e9c Mu Jeonghoo went 3d0394a3b6 inside. There was no f4fe7c3cd1 one in the 91b09f1564 room.49be3b63a1a35981

“How foolish.”652656f1fbfc8bf0

He smiled mockingly. If he was going to accef55507 hide in the room, it 3e1a244b38 would have been smarter not 05c7cac00d to lock the door. If he locked 7e1ee52dfc the door and 2c17e92da5 hid, wasn’t this dfe706e153 room the only b6b0feaa7f place to hide c9cdb34b91 in this house? The only place to hide f21f35366c in this small space was e5b8bdb76a under the flat bed. He became the seeker 80f004c64b in hide-and-seek. He approached the ad0e888313 bed, looking at 53a3d549ea Wan, who was 0f11430f3f clearly visible. Then, he lifted 610c21690e the innocent blanket 5add0b1f17 once out of edf2789967 courtesy.f5f4a26d9e2d305d

Wan stared blankly at b1db324f74 Mu Jeonghoo’s feet entering 172bf1d582 the rectangular world. The white sneakers 1ccfb7c985 with dirt on 7f12a0db7a them and the 8716096786 black shoes behind d1aef9fa19 them. It was obvious who 2d48045dd2 was who.9f409bcf2c60f69d

The underside of the bed b6d0f01a9a was silent. He thought that if he 35182f69ef said this much, Wan would 64a51df339 crawl out on his own. But not even a finger 4d72465c55 was visible from under the ba31ec10d7 bed. Until he woke up 782e776c32 this morning, Jeonghoo had aa9c06d005 been in a good 066775ff4d mood. A refreshing energy and fresh 167b6226e1 morning air. The moment he 50092c0461 had so longed 6028737b07 for the night 60323840fa before had even 1932fd8a1e happened between his 2ab10add7a legs. The sensation of the small 2b48937eed tongue being trapped in his 8b28056d70 mouth, unable to move and 3fde5f3e94 gently scraping the pillar, was 449088e791 still vivid. It took quite 8d973da95e a long time 23dd71aa3c to come.69e5b11b45e0a27a

If he had wanted to, 76f4006212 he could have grabbed the fb6c4d83b4 back of his head and 8e824ce3e5 shoved it all the way 8020e4562d to the end of his f66efbd756 uvula, but he held back. Since he had decided to 601602aaf7 indulge him, he would indulge 40ddf2c8ba him to the end. But if he b51842b662 hid as if a6cb765a86 he didn’t want 6ef1b68ebb to see his 71eb2aa2a7 face as soon b4ca793161 as the next a7953df105 day came, the 10ef8df84a story would be c42bac07af different. Mu Jeonghoo bent his 41612f6659 knees and lowered his fe33c221cc face under the bed. He saw Park a6902c59ce Wan, who had 5d826f78ac buried his face 92a1a5b18f in his arms. Without hesitation, Jeonghoo reached his 6ea4597ed3 hand under the bed. His long arm easily reached 76ba20eeda Wan’s head.6e39afc56173c62d

“Ugh!”814d29c17fb52256

Wan bit his lip 3a9fac40e5 at the pain that 0b2c2b2748 felt like his scalp e680826b38 was being torn off. Before he could b3888c5f10 even let out b5f209db2c another groan, his 59cdbd2144 body was halfway 9f3e0f596b out. Chief Kim, standing outside de482613a3 the wall, was looking ddb25ad670 at Wan with pitiful dc0be9fb2a eyes. Mu Jeonghoo bent his knees 73282cf23f and matched his eye level 32dc98f263 with Wan, who was stuck 17e7c423f5 to the floor. He stared into Wan’s terrified, 6fa0e10413 trembling eyes and widened his 7984fa43b7 own eyes in the same 81447db95e way.aebb53c66d098b09
