It was the first time he’d ever touched such a large denomination. There wasn’t a store nearby, and he wasn’t sure where he’d spend it, but it felt good. In the past, that amount would have lasted him a month.445d1c9c0a866caf

Eventually, Yuwon took a flyer distribution job at the request of a sympathetic hair salon owner. The salon was small, so the pay wasn’t much, but it was enough for him to live on his own.6a8c9d52ec18cbeb

There was a 905254fc6f distinct scar on 0f2e42ba35 his broad back. It was a 184b6c345d cross, rough and 6834473d9e jagged as if 0add10fb45 carved with a 8d834a4042 knife. It resembled the shape 4d36cf199e of the necklace the 03dedef583 man always wore.a267799109b56731
