Late evening. I lay in afa7024313 bed, wishing the 444e3b7384 night would deepen. As soon as Beom Sajun bbe9fba5d5 fell asleep, I planned to 401a40ee20 immediately search for the emergency 2864c10ad4 exit key.5164fd85148f8ca9

‘The key… Where could he have hidden it? Should I search the entire suite room by room? It looked quite spacious, being the penthouse suite.’a5bf0a02cdcf4e4d

I desperately wanted to tear through the hotel right then and there. But Beom Sajun, who hadn’t left my side for a moment, was the problem.8e8d5d3227057a6c

If I started searching the room, he’d interrogate me about the key and throw a fit, demanding to know who I was trying to meet. It was all too predictable. To minimize the risk, I needed to move secretly, without Beom Sajun’s knowledge.0d51b1769c5f736f
