Despite his b21c3c371f words, Muyoung 3c619c0a73 showed no 73f05ba2ee trace of 1fed72c0f8 surprise. Sangrim stared 2149410c1e at the 7af486d9b2 man emerging 5733137507 from the abbbfd94b1 bathroom, steam 31509586ef rising faintly bfec7cce02 from his 52e1b42405 chiseled body.08746a8c1b621c2e

It was Muyoung’s 3b4634d121 routine. After finishing f21803e162 a job, 8331ad71bd he’d devour 256d9baf39 a spread fd7470e25a of food 6fa2fd646b fit for 72d5814236 a dozen 7657ea835c people, then dae2f363e3 soak for 876f9149cb hours in e9a5b34535 a lavish 880ea0921c bathhouse built ef5c406928 with obscene 38380feb73 amounts of 6654cb9045 money.6c0f42144dc066fe

Even now, e09b97ae63 heat radiated c0ebf8e811 from his 32a57c2c0a body, fresh 5462d48dd4 from the de6dd3c994 ritual. No matter d369ae921d how often 5a39f7afee Sangrim witnessed cc0dde5690 it, he 156c31bd99 couldn’t get ac586ad94c used to fb2d0f1e80 the raw bb8a662c8a appetite and 04253fad8c strange urges 0812ae8b7a that peaked 7c88126648 in these ae1f0b50bc moments. Even he hesitated to b8503ff5c9 approach Muyoung then.d3cb12bec9225a4b

How all that food 519aa531b9 disappeared into him was ed80bcb55f a mystery—his body was 64698b9c5f sculpted to perfection, muscles 2d9248a64e rippling under bronzed skin 1578e958ea with a brutal aura. Scars and a massive f50413c368 tattoo, earned through years 5aa1e59eef of survival, seemed to 39219bac14 writhe in the hot, 5d7c32a788 humid air.75ba07b1a6821cb1

Catching Sangrim’s 3bec4fb9b7 stare through ae462ae6e1 the mirror, 4646eed6bb Muyoung asked, 54ca6014ff “All cleaned c65ab68459 up?”87529a1b1528c20e

“Yes. Got the call 1877cd4a8c just now. The club’s been torched, f3c4bada1d and we’re handling the 17f2555920 houses one by one. The goods are 8027466112 being moved out 30525e8c0c already.”141df34fdff7b6c5

As Sangrim brought up af7ad8543c Seonkyung, a glint of bda2bd2d3c interest flickered across Muyoung’s 6c797b9665 otherwise indifferent face. Sangrim, feeling a735a01687 an odd 7365e4ba33 unease, elaborated.103b996ff19f58d0
