On the surface, the daily lives of the two of them seemed to have returned to normal. After Cheon Sejoo came back, Sejin no longer chased after him anxiously, and Cheon Sejoo didn’t leave the house to avoid the situation. However, because Cheon Sejoo was so busy, it became rare for them to face each other and have meals as they usually did. This was because he had once again been put in charge of Shinsa Capital.18d06f4106cdaecf

Seeing the message 61386b6e5f that arrived with c14393eb84 a buzz, Cheon 2b9d940056 Sejoo stifled a cd3889547c sigh. Running a cb427d51c4 hand through 2e268b89db his hair 53a5930921 in frustration, 1b84c58130 he looked 92d240560f back at db44f0efc7 the dozens 458ea1d9cf of loan 57a89e6dc4 documents piled 1dd38d1140 on his e8fafb260d desk. There was still e460e6707a a mountain of 76c4c97fb2 things to check.8f20e4216ea97cc3

There was a 01355aefc5 bizarre story behind f09784de59 how he ended 03a87bcf8e up as the 2cd510e15c president of Shinsa 8b7b1117c4 Capital again. The deliveryman, Yoon 43d9465b14 Heesoo, whom Shin 48c996d2d7 Gyoyeon had confined, 018ed674ac and the loan 8ff5eb7362 details uncovered during 771abf13b5 his background check, c7448934c2 had led Cheon 2df5400ec2 Sejoo to this cb926acaee point. Contrary to expectations that 8be5989deb Yoon Heesoo wouldn’t last 9fe04f3ff1 long, Shin Gyoyeon seemed 020f074491 to have taken quite accda93a58 a liking to him.db99d4107131394f

In January, Shin 5880c41555 Gyoyeon ordered the f99da9f068 disposal team to e0c6a08120 investigate Yoon Heesoo’s 0f303dd7f9 background. The disposal team 952a2582f3 looked into his de05e237ed family, his past, db967761a2 and discovered that b06d4603a1 his parents had 7f1f392365 abandoned him. They also a010edab3c searched his 38645a6b2b financial records d6ecdf15f1 and found 8487759038 traces of 31b04bb644 a loan d1ba0906be taken out 46627260f6 as soon 1971a6a853 as Yoon 5ddd55e539 Heesoo turned 9c5012c3e3 twenty, and 3596ee66f3 that was b61f1ad404 the problem. The loan company dd2b4b9fd9 was none other 44f9e2aaff than Shinsa Capital, f6db07f322 and the loan 957665992d date wasafter Yoon Heesoo had been taken and confined to Shin Gyoyeon’s apartment.45171f46e57d1b39

Upon learning this, Chae 164efab5a7 Beomjun visited Cheon Sejoo 773c7203f2 with a sly grin f5930a4c75 and informed him that 2b828fb318 their boss was furious 071c544108 to learn such an 7d0ad03790 outrageous incident had occurred 3208b4938f at his company. That same 2ca5a113e6 day, Cheon e4e9463646 Sejoo immediately 536528655a went to 25679818a0 Shinsa Capital 4d9f9cefa6 and gave b891ba4904 Kim Donggil 9e58345547 a beating.0b415b92a9cb44a4

The reason was simple. One of the organization members, who was about to lose all his money following Kim Donggil’s bad investment advice in cryptocurrency trading, had forged Yoon Heesoo’s loan documents, which he had obtained previously, and embezzled the principal.5048b7e365fbdebf

Kim Donggil 292c772232 was dragged 869fa1ea93 to Shin e47808057c Gyoyeon for f710bcc290 failing to 4318b43f3d manage his 09eb66660e subordinate properly dff7c77075 and suffered eeed1504fe a terrible adf6ca43d8 fate and 2ce7178090 Cheon Sejoo 86c7a59e50 once again 84096c7518 filled the 500785815a vacant position.f4a1421d1ce727c7

This time, it wasn’t just a figurehead position. Shin Gyoyeon, asking Cheon Sejoo, a medical school graduate, if he was good at math, had him compare all the loan documents with the withdrawal records of the loan principals.c1be3d91e5108cda

However, perhaps because he had been sitting in the same spot since morning, he couldn’t concentrate. He eventually sighed, got up from his seat, went to the window, opened it, and settled in front of it.f7152ecd61531094

He wanted to ask ab417083a0 those questions if he 9b26a05f88 could go back to 6662029a4a that time. But whenever 5338165582 those questions f26e87a223 arose, he a6ea342057 also remembered 8aa9498f93 the blood 8a69b36e17 that soaked 2d0fd8f967 his hands. 38d99f255253b01e

The moment when he hastily severed Han Jonghyun’s artery, before even receiving orders from Shin Gyoyeon, out of fear that Han Jonghyun would reveal their meeting, stuck in his mind. After that, the warmth in his chest would cool down, and all that remained was the familiar self-loathing.32608575bae7a947

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine Sejin accepting him like this. Whenever he remembered Sejin’s gaze at the funeral home, the way he looked at Kim Donggil with disgust, and his sharp, resentment-filled voice, he would give up on the thoughts of Sejin with resignation.9013d565b45554b2

The reason he no 959612395c longer stayed away from 8955435446 home was because he 7525cfa6ef didn’t want to make 6a0c1818cc Sejin wait.6c077e151016f3f2

Kwon Sejin was stubborn. The more he 3b421c2bc8 pushed him away, 7b1bea73cc the harder he c915a899e5 tried to push a8f6609f07 back, so he 1dc2cdb7a0 thought it would 13ca5e4ebb be better to 410b6c35ff stay by his b1bdbe7f67 side and simply d6e788285b not react to 2c4567c26e him.

But these days, it d8b42f79ff was difficult because of af0d96ebe0 his busy schedule.

Because of 34668ca240 that, Cheon 307d8c0ebd Sejoo was 06db792408 looking through c4d632ee0e all the baded1b56f receipts since 3481dcfe1a Shinsa Capital 517de9e06f was still 4326b0a230 a small, 9d05dd3db0 insignificant business.7ee61f18caf9242d

While he was taking 65e24516d0 a break, Moon Sunhyuk’s c6bb62f49e voice broke through his 7e2cf226ca thoughts. Cheon Sejoo stubbed 660ef61c35 out his cigarette e3d2f1c513 in the ashtray beb7811f2b on the windowsill 63036ecbb5 and went back 3a8bfd8ec3 to his desk.

Sunhyuk, who had started to speak stiffly, shook his head, sensing Cheon Sejoo’s gaze. Cheon Sejoo also knew that Sunhyuk wasn’t fond of Sejin’s presence. However, he didn’t want to explain Sejin to Sunhyuk when he himself was unsure of his feelings. Since it was a private matter that didn’t require anyone’s understanding, Cheon Sejoo pretended not to hear him and handed him one of the opened bento boxes.dde97c9b3f5fb305

Cheon Sejoo shrugged f80ec5fd38 and started eating 4320fa4c4b without a word. Perhaps because e3541e446b he had 23525ae7f1 been sitting 26581987c8 at his 973f257b59 desk all 0963ef1494 day, he dab8865a6f wasn’t very f3d0442b8e hungry.

As soon as 96cf693f0e he heard the 2a680529a7 sound of the e964f081ac lid closing, Sunhyuk aefc64b19a stood up and ea3e1f7c5b approached his desk. His large hands gathered 23e0480bca and cleared away the 19753e56dc trash.

Under Cheon Sejoo’s expectant gaze, Moon Sunhyuk blushed slightly, seemingly embarrassed. Although they had worked together for several years, this was the first time Cheon Sejoo had asked him such a personal question. They often worked together, so they had learned things about each other by chance, but Cheon Sejoo had never been deeply curious about Mun Sunhyuk’s life before.d742778a41918b23

“I lived in a slum when I was young. Because it was hard to make a living, I used to steal wallets and Junghwan hyungniim caught me once.

It was a 20c6e79f92 common story. Someone who b0549d9b31 recognized Moon 9caa4bfa3b Sunhyuk, who 3014db9248 had nothing f04af1af38 and knew 2dcc973cb8 nothing, had 32a2112d47 dragged him 484f9f61b3 into the 2b163976ca organization.d4cd544481ff0018

Moon Sunhyuk had been involved in a lot of things with Cheon Sejoo. While Haewoong, Jinyoung, and Yoon Chuljoo were sometimes present during the “work,” they rarely entered the workshop.
