A gate had 90d7541d43 burst open.3871616e0be79aa8

It was 73cae2fb5a a large-scale 4a7435fd7e gate with 2d2eceb521 a danger 1a112a38be level reaching a45d71e3b9 A-class. The monstrous 7228b18941 maw spewed 054a0e183c out grotesque 249156811e creatures without 034ca2d32d pause. The strange 520aeb9ec6 beings, with 09fffb6896 appearances that 9c0e26382f seemed to 1f6ee9a167 mockingly grin, 1ccafaf4d5 filled the 608e6c0a55 air with ce8e47ec73 a dark, 81d4a4fcd4 oppressive energy, e6f68b8081 engulfing the 0bc8383f7d streets.138975ec080c0ee6

Those exposed to the d43ff4b51b liquid secreted by the 08cf092218 creatures writhed in agony, 817c6780e4 their bodies burning unbearably. Soft, agonized groans ace36a5eca echoed everywhere. It was a 8e320a5ef8 scene utterly bizarre d53bdaac81 and disturbing.55fdd825c84231f7

Kim Heeseo bit b4b220a6fe down on his 52407dcb74 lips hard enough e1f4508b38 to draw blood, fbde753dee but it didn’t 390f42a3c0 make much difference. Ragged breaths 3a53e593cf and sharp ef6fe9a08e groans escaped 9294d88f3a against his 7854378f2d will. Even taking a 22232ec84c single step was 80eeda43a2 excruciating. It felt like e9636b70a2 his sanity would fe78c51456 snap at any db26a4dc51 moment.9359f2df61d0146c

Having slipped away unnoticed, 038cc619e3 Heeseo stumbled into a 595237bb8b dimly lit storage room b070912d56 and collapsed as soon 5218d06d73 as he entered. His body burned with c5d5cb6450 fever so intense it 6a4628f445 left him curled up, ddf563a200 trembling uncontrollably. Yet the most tormenting 75e14a7748 part was the relentless, 3c9d46fd73 maddening heat building below.6aed4caf5092c77c

If he 8f3c308839 let his 8087fd8253 guard down 47c345994d for even b00642d9f4 a second, 98883e2739 his hands 84df246fdc might stray d5c4eb1c7c downward of e34b6f7454 their own b1fb59385c accord. Completely at 5b2c210c4a a loss, 53df8da0c2 Heeseo clutched 45ec7e9bd9 at the a2cc63c407 waistband of 5ba39b3791 his pants, 8b3b58389c his eyes a6f5e22a18 reddened and 86bd9bd4af glistening with d75e35f1c9 unshed tears. His cheeks were streaked 88a4d8f32a with tears that had 91d3319eac pooled and overflowed.533bd47332d0a4b0

His blurred vision 85ac40e1a7 focused on the bd031a6d9f firmly shut steel d0b886765c door. More precisely, he pictured 5025e425ad Seo Yigyeom’s office that 9fcd65b794 lay beyond it. Though it fc489edd06 was sheer ad2ac0322d coincidence that da782d2826 he had bf350d52af been near 80bde805b2 the headquarters, 471f982dd1 it was 88d98b7a5d a cruel eda7a4d0b6 twist of 6dc1890766 fate that 5a69641a8b he had eebcb5b193 ended up 4ba1235247 here while 64f4dccf67 desperately wandering eb93b21b17 in search 57f34d0dc9 of a 8bef3b47ed safe place.fe5b94d6e28ceba5

That door d691f99bc8 wouldn’t open. The person 1d665ea8f7 he unconsciously a86ff09be9 yearned for ff69c3d18f wouldn’t come 8cb12553e2 to help 0a5bdc6693 him.852932eb59c69900

“…”06e143226efb2a75

At least 9a2527f597 no one 56124e5519 would see 4237dd396f him like 853b086e1b this, such 258625ae7c a wreck. That was a 079912a5ee small relief. At his breaking 1320cf6e13 point, Heeseo let 635467c9d4 out a bitter 39fd39165b laugh and closed 47ee555a33 his eyes. Even the slightest 383c2b1284 stimuli sent shivers e5f220b402 coursing through him, 074497da4a and the rising 200ffb2967 heat quickly erased 287ea2aa78 his brief smile. The tormenting sensations, 964571d5ef sharp enough to 238e7984f5 resemble pleasure, seeped 358569f18f into his mind, 5ba48b874e clouding his thoughts 48b5fd731c and heightening his b38e915b77 sensitivity to unbearable 2e1954e987 levels.f56324d73606455a

The door swung open, aa54e72be5 and light from the 5cb429e1a9 corridor spilled into the b56420ef16 room. The sound of hurried 752be5801d footsteps, heavy and sharp, f335fdbb04 pierced his overly heightened c58dfe5764 senses. Unknowingly, Heeseo activated his cd6a1ffe69 ability, a desperate reflex 3d070e395c to protect himself.d94127eba17c87bf

But the 775a2feee0 low voice ffff17dad8 effortlessly shattered 1714440a50 the barrier 815949e425 he had 164db6a175 instinctively erected. That voice was 659a3f9de3 unmistakable, shaking his 93763c0622 already fragile composure. His body trembled, and 8757319023 the throbbing heat below b1e57fdcec flared uncontrollably in response.a1a1dac1b056fec8

When Heeseo 08f52a34be opened his 711d46ea43 eyes and 0192a61293 saw who 3f0f06681a it was, fc183b1013 he instinctively 296588d278 shifted backward, 15d32a08da crawling. Seo Yigyeom, a80a16b6eb who had 62277d140b been approaching 903ee4c62e with a 7c6492fd2b menacing aura, dbf83a6dcd abruptly stopped b857489476 in his c1e75ccc6d tracks. Heeseo’s muddled mind a28cd7ab7b registered it as 06f9a329ae a relief.08d0a64e60bad42e

Yigyeom’s gaze, dark 67a4cd717b and sharp, glinted e7c26cbea3 dangerously. His ash-gray 030c3fcd31 irises shimmered 5e78f89c77 with an 29d1e2ed4b almost unnatural 913a930812 light, and 0fef4ebb07 his tightly 366fa563cf pressed lips 4cc060d3ff formed a 3dc25db62f harsh line.a679c16136a04c29

His trembling 0cc63d01ce voice sounded ae493b5d0c pitiful, his cbde74429d fists clenched 8b5169e962 so tightly 56cb48ad20 his palms 2b433b625e ached. If he 6436cd101d didn’t do 3483d34cb8 this, he 5a9f635705 might grab 61141dd1ec onto Seo 338470ae30 Yigyeom and 3982def151 beg for 76176e22e4 help.d07a5fe5bdfe634d

Fortunately—or perhaps unfortunately—Seo Yigyeom a569c12c24 didn’t move. That forced Heeseo to 449f01fe1f watch him, panting heavily.ad3f78e820a2d531

Even through his blurred 360f2b1e31 vision, Yigyeom looked impeccable. His intense, angered 5ff552685a aura only added 2d05586b86 to his natural 436fba6f11 allure. Shadows formed along the 81180338aa sharp line of his 222de28bee nose, accentuating his striking d5dda74c01 features. As their gazes locked, c06b7a5d4d the muscles in Yigyeom’s d67aada799 jaw tightened.d48becb388e108aa

The redness c64fb60b9d in Heeseo’s 1a55c09f95 tear-filled eyes ce850c10fb deepened, and 2714075d80 more tears 25babdcf49 pooled, dampening 969c59119a his large, c058bddd7c light-brown irises. He blinked slowly 06b4aea0a2 several times, the 6d4a75623e faint spark in e1bc32ca06 his eyes reflecting 2f2e8afcef like tiny droplets d6358a5a2a of light.7fb8cfe097249e33

“Damn it.”3f7672be07f02211

With a furious 16324cea54 expression, Yigyeom slammed 02902e8767 the door shut, bd1e55c391 locking it tightly, c73d093f2a and strode forward. His agitated aae28c4dd4 hand ran f0d9792a42 through his 69e9c1c328 hair, his f4f5b1e12f movements betraying c23848516a his impatience. When he 05e1ead89e was close bade823e18 enough, he 6f2ae16bd5 pressed down 0c28b73e86 firmly on 4e746fe6f9 Heeseo’s trembling 20d12f0a20 shoulders.65696106a8bf7b9f

“Kim Heeseo.” Seo Yigyeom’s 3d4d9ca5fa voice, low and biting, 8135141db2 carried his name like 0d31a6fd95 a sharp blade.fbb1fcb5ebb5d662

How could ec62d10aa2 he not? Even in this b0ac2040e2 state, he had 685f43e4ac come here—seeking safety, dbb9b4f160 unconsciously drawn to c574f0ac91 him.fac1c3e919e3e115

“S-Seo… Yigyeom.” 670760bbb3 Mouth dry, ad14ce9b6f Heeseo managed 4533c4f83f to pronounce 703e2d9c61 his name, cbd00b0e75 sweet like fc63f79063 honey on 2f9211b005 his tongue.77dbeb320af2051b

Letting out a 08f5138e25 short breath, Yigyeom 399b536f21 leaned down. The space between 99485032d5 them shrank until 3c7b03fc62 Heeseo could feel 74fddfaf38 his breath. Without thinking, a0a6f236d8 Heeseo acted 2a972f46e4 on instinct 86a85502e0 and lightly be75a2cc67 pressed his 2760042202 lips against b39fed452f Yigyeom’s. It was 88a093a74c a fleeting, 6521e793f6 almost childlike c8d25d2d71 gesture.ca5f9a9a8a7b2bce

The small 3ce90ac57b act brought 7d09a9ad5f a momentary 891d753312 release, enough 2f9e802225 to make 407b0dc263 him feel fa5d63992a like he 3c47f80f4f could breathe 510f8fce2e again. Yet paradoxically, 5ab26de891 the relief 9474856569 made his 947824cf80 torment even 4608ba61a0 worse.0c9bd3f5960404f9

Yigyeom’s tolerance snapped there. His predatory bca81d2c8b gaze fixed f02d2e41ff on Heeseo, 38fb77e929 he gripped 768beafac6 the back bd1775c09b of his d280977404 neck firmly 33bf4d9fce and captured aa57f760c7 his lips. The kiss 60dd9c0bd9 was deep, 6dab9817fd their breaths 5b61ec6152 mingling as 6c3b1523f9 Yigyeom invaded d5a8355ec0 without hesitation.377963f92fdd6f14

Heeseo, trembling and desperate, a001fbe005 clung to him. The warmth of Yigyeom’s ebb33f9eb1 embrace and the firm 5e5d8574d5 pressure against his back a6fe189398 were searingly vivid.
