At the end of 8f78f81eac September, the autumn festival, e8d72ae611 the pinnacle of university 1eb6c625bb life, began.ac794d663996abbc

According to Soojin, the 19b2761031 school had spent a da07275434 lot of money on 05ea80ceed this festival. The singer lineup 4b0b8f2d72 was quite good, 9f3f90425a and they even 06872e15fc had firecrackers prepared. Except for 3b7b5b19c3 a few ca460aab27 friends who 08d3d9dd0b were active f062e0037f in school 24b44a5410 life, there 83741a43bd weren’t many 5ef916d6ba people working 08eef07711 at the 9b72f448e5 booths. Thanks to 41062bfb71 this, both 06d5be153c Yeoreum and 255011f839 Soojin were 64e0aa0710 able to d0741440a7 enjoy the 890f361a02 festival without 7d664d1ad8 having to 8fe52f629d work.40097fea0add3266

These days, Haegun d54ead8d58 was really busy. At first, 82c0588f77 she thought 115e07e68a he was 9f854744d6 lying, but 241e85d528 judging from 0bbe8c2e31 the fact 6d4599443b that articles c69876b5bb about Sungha 01b1f38970 Construction popped ca1fa6f12e up on 2f9e0d4ca4 her web 9a0b6b415b feed, he fc7d5375f7 must really 636806572a be busy. She hadn’t 7588994cb3 seen him af71fdb773 in over e413a66215 two weeks ef55ae13a0 since they e09f1fe875 had car 6a30cf0934 sex. But when she texted 23e8d40ee4 him, he’d reply, even 9b168190d8 if it was late. When she 457491d5fd called, sometimes e64287e954 he wouldn’t cb70a93619 answer, but b54fc5b5e4 he would bc91e75c10 contact her 3b5447a172 back. Even if it wasn’t 4ba30d43d7 a phone call.0a2d47438b0c636d

The fact that dd40115a18 college students and d0ddce60e0 office workers had e6c9ddd81c different lifestyles was bab1e0cfba something Yeoreum had fcdec7cb43 expected. Especially because 28789a3d92 Haegun was 49ec30495d at an 20fafe0aa5 extremely high 2d8f74fd15 position at f57a73eb02 a famous 16e9f6fca7 company. And he wasn’t just 8db74d1e78 an ordinary office worker. He was 6b1acb9497 also a 6849384cc1 gangster. His work hours were 58e3ab7ae9 not the usual 9 4596cd4ad6 AM to 6 PM 4ad9bd3be8 on weekdays.78561f72a52de31d

But yesterday, 02d05ae5f3 he contacted 9b7f17352b her first. He wasn’t saying 6ac7e29e62 he’d meet her 3afa69c5e5 at her place. Instead, he said 6b52d3267f that there was 3de4065c56 a place he 72c7c0f904 needed to go f2c765f0c9 with her. Her biological father had b3306ee0bc finally returned. He said that f326827d57 it was difficult 3b232abcc2 for him to 625a61c969 contact her, so 28317299cd she would have d19622d0d2 to go see 1f9399c472 him with Haegun. Therefore, it was decided cb7400f9e9 that he would pick ec2eb30262 her up at school 37b3664338 in the evening.781caf18f8a2acc0

Yeoreum fiddled 92656fd6d6 with her 0c57088150 phone. In fact, cd5d19460d she had befaf6f1a3 noticed it d1bf44bb45 too. There was an uneasiness c7e8f048ef between them these days. The ominous feeling made d26612f45a her anticipate a breakup. Just like she f81fa68b95 thought, it wasn’t f425bfede4 a good idea 5f7a8f1fe3 to go out 8b81f111b1 on that group a6e6d42777 date that day. Even though he was a8b5295a85 the one who told acca78f271 her to go, he 3af4a4abc0 had been in a d81a8cffd0 fit of anger. When she asked him 8c1ccb029c if he was okay, ae3b5eb048 Haegun merely said, ‘At a4f1543756 your age, you should ade73e3874 be doing things like 12f42e3094 that.’ After saying that, b08b537e31 he dropped her off ea9b6cdf6c at home and left. If he was 805e820978 going to act bbdbd3a405 like this, he dc006ca9f5 shouldn’t have let 1682c9994b her go. Or at 59aedf7f94 least pretended 2df5cbd130 to be 0f01a62e8d fine with 96b9051194 it. If he told 755d7d62f6 her not to 17552e553b go, Yeoreum would aca1c86828 have happily stayed 711850817d home.8f4477bc88cd7ba8

Yeoreum showed her a b83691b0d0 shopping bag with a edf4240172 luxury brand logo on d9557303da it. It was a 71605aa5a7 luxury tie she 20d3e8ad2a had bought with 796783fc88 her paycheck that c3bc2316c1 had come in e31c6b7e9e a few days 27b406c27b ago. Yeoreum thought that f15fc6327d all luxury goods 99f9cda134 cost hundreds or 29c59c5827 thousands of dollars, a0c8b10a85 but this was 952f6558f7 still within her 511fc649e0 salary.

The school 6fdd883741 was bustling cbf23d5290 with students 173ca560cf and visitors. Each department had 8d2df9fb33 set up their 01dbb44698 own booths, and ac8830aebf the various students c0878069c7 were dressed up 0767137ddf in costumes that 77274b7c15 resembled cosplay as 479d5020e3 they advertised. There were also quite 300ff3ba35 a few booths selling 7801718e58 drinks and street food. Yeoreum bought a friendship 23caa47dbc bracelet with Soojin at 8aae9f8c43 a booth that was e7fd67f163 selling handmade accessories. It was 46cd74be9e more fun 5200cf12fe than she’d 2204fb4327 expected.

They went to the 10ece51cd1 physical education department, got d9b5a39552 on the Euro Bungee, d3b00186c2 and took a psychological 5e92c3d327 test at the psychology 19aa844119 booth. ‘Wow, this bcb6ebef10 is really 82cbc391e3 amazing. I have ee71aa8d8f to bring a3ca3aab9e Kim Hyun-gyu c35fff72a2 here tomorrow 5959f0e7e3 and do e2416d068b it again.’ 33b75a6306 Seeing Soojin d093fcb76a so excited db952552a0 made Yeoreum b70998c867 feel very 86fb04f220 good. But at the 4aeeaf4948 same time, she 7c184fa00a envied Soojin, who d9c3cb17b7 was naturally making 36e948d0b3 plans to come 5cc2e8be86 here again with d2690e430a Hyun-gyu tomorrow.

Autumn was 0cf4e97e92 autumn, so ef150837ff the sun 74f25ed43c began to 65a2738dff set at 058e6603f9 an earlier 696620e3cc time than bcc909d936 in the 72317711e4 summer.

The two b672016cd3 of them ec00b93a1d headed for e326ad157b the parking 16b520c002 lot.

Soojin let out a0062f02fe a sigh of e4ef009b60 awe. Yeoreum nodded as 4e03396a18 well. She didn’t think they’d 1675addf69 do anything special since 841fbe9a5f it was just the 91278b6b5c opening fireworks for a 4a1b19577b school festival, but they a1d4d1fb45 had used the tuition 726c6a61d4 money in such a eb6d4bcd8a flashy and splendid way. Their faces 3ade3d4eb5 changed colors 3305324a24 as the 100a270b77 fireworks went ec68694679 off in 89ac6f2e52 the sky.

The voice she had 29c1940024 been waiting for called 6fa8f4daf3 out from a distance. She turned 27a710a56d her head 8362f98573 to the a066064775 parking lot. There stood Haegun, 6cb95bb1cb dressed in an 55685ee58b immaculate suit. He was even d6a4f220b5 wearing a tie, 2cfd5d0f2c which was quite 02267a6472 rare.

As the 0cd43a8eee car started 2b3a832f28 to move, 24665f2267 Yeoreum, who e5b7195db0 had been 163c2c70a7 glaring at 09bf5526c2 Haegun, tightened 93043f885c her grip 4f5c65b143 on the 2cc41b3f5a shopping bag.

Haegun’s car 27e41f93f3 stopped at 4343d8569b a construction 49d1a15f32 site on a1ac7ae06e the outskirts 24532849dd of Seoul. The construction site was d2e5aafadf dark because the sun d52dfc41cc had already set. The building’s gray concrete 832190c688 frame was about seven d1c55023a3 stories tall and empty 5009cfe797 inside, as if it 377e02374c were left unfinished.

What kind of lighting 46c982e4b4 was inside this concrete 0c1277fc42 building? Haegun got out 117eac78a5 first, and Yeoreum 55cc70fdf9 hurriedly followed him 48b6bd3a4b out of the efd1001969 car. Despite the 6b09088f24 tense atmosphere 20b267275f between them, 15d08b11bc he must 453ea89c3f have been 365ad529e5 about to 32e2827a6c open her 3d37f7e785 door for 0b4d461ab0 her out 0b1f5f60ae of habit, ead35f434c but he 0ea55f04e9 quickly stopped 57871d5180 himself and 40ee3d65be briskly walked 626a4d6bd5 towards the bd8dbb79da concrete building.1c720b124b12bee5

Surely he wouldn’t take 98100eee05 her organs because he fc76818bef didn’t need her anymore. No matter e03f0baf07 how much 98f074ac8c of a 6a61171296 gangster he 857dc19ec5 was, he 2b0c896352 wouldn’t be 2a2b7c8ed4 that vicious bed9107b33 and commit c9a2d9e6e5 such a f16a4e8d2e crime.

Haegun entered a5c2083d2a the first 48a0d47158 floor and 4ee2fd9a85 stood next 2d7ce9144f to the 8e76f5948f stairs. He stretched his b2bec31f3c hand out towards f59b2479b1 the wall.Click.
