TIN 116
"..." The card in his hand snapped in half. The credit card with its luxurious pattern was an item left behind in the place Bada had departed from. Presumably, it was one of the gifts Joo Do-hwa had given to his ‘hyung.’ "...Why, think we won't find him anyway?" Henry couldn't find an appropriate reaction to his calm question. Saying sorry would seem like agreement, but denying it would get him into bigger trouble. So he just silently bowed his head and heard Joo Do-hwa give a short…-

Gicheol watched the man before him with bated breath. Sitting on a leather sofa with legs crossed, the man was staring at Gicheol with distinctly golden eyes. In one hand he held a black card while his upper body lounged against the backrest. Unlike his casual posture, his piercing gaze was sharp enough to cut even steel. "So?" When the man asked, Gicheol hesitated before coming up with an answer. He was so nervous his palms were completely soaked. After wiping his sweaty hands on his thighs and…-

TIN 114
I was planning to leave the house right away. Once the thought to leave became urgent, even being here made me overly anxious. However, just as I took a step, a strong force roughly grabbed my arm. "...Ugh." My injured leg was truly useless at times like this. Just putting weight on it to maintain balance caused throbbing pain to radiate from my wound. The other person wouldn't easily let go of me as I stumbled on my feet, about to fall to the ground. "Let go of me." At first, I naturally…-

And so, I sat in dead silence while letting Lingling tend to my legs. I thought she would question me thoroughly about what had happened, but surprisingly, she focused all her attention on treatment without asking anything. Her face was devoid of makeup as she concentrated on the task, looking quite different from how I remembered her at Oceans. However, the more quiet she became, the more uncomfortable I felt. Lingling's silence was different from Theo's because it came from consideration for me. While…-

TIN 112
The subdued voice was familiar. Beyond the tone, the voice itself was too recognizable. While I was blankly blinking, another loud Bang! came from outside the door. "I said open the door!" The sharp, clear voice belonged to a woman I knew well. I furrowed my brow and slowly moved my lips. "...Lingling?" "Ah..." Theo sighed irritably and quickly got up to his feet. He might have cursed under his breath, but I couldn't hear clearly as he immediately left the bed. Theo glanced at me still…-

TIN 111
It wasn't that things had become easier, I had just become more desperate. Since I had always been the type to use any means necessary, it would be incorrect to say I had changed now. Besides, if this looked easy, that would be laughable in itself. "I don't know when it was that you got disappointed..." At these slowly spoken words, Theo raised his eyebrow sharply. More precisely, as soon as he heard the word 'disappointed,' his expression hardened as if he had just been struck in the face.…-

I wanted to say this from the start. I followed him home not because I needed a place to sleep, but because I needed a quiet place to talk. Nothing would be more foolish than pulling out bundles of cash on the hungry streets. "The sea..." Theo alternated between looking at the envelope and me with a dazed expression on his face. All the money I'd saved throughout my life was in that crumpled envelope. The only thing I couldn't bring was the card Joo Do-hwa had given me. "So you're really following…-

TIN 109
Ten years ago that day, three men had jumped me thinking they could rape me. One got his wrist broken, another had his testicles ruptured, and this Can in front of me was the only one who came out from the encounter totally unscathed. It wasn't my first time experiencing something like that, but I did end up handling it more violently than usual that day. After living on the streets, I was thoroughly fed up with these disgusting situations that kept on repeating themselves. I fought back thinking I'd…-

TIN 108
Though I'd originally set out after hearing the drivers say we hadn't come far, returning took much longer than expected. Despite the long summer days, by the time I came to my senses, it had grown dark. At first, the wounds on my feet hurt, but later I couldn't feel anything. My legs felt heavy as if weighted down, but even that became familiar after endless walking. The knee I'd injured falling from the truck only stopped bleeding after soaking through my pants. Luckily, I made it into the city…-

...Turn the car back? "This isn't some kind of dog training..." Their muttered words didn't make any sense to me. Neither did their tired comments about whether we'd make it to the harbor that day. Even in my dazed state of mind, I could still hear their conversation. "What can we do? When the higher-ups say go, we go." "Good grief." I didn't need to hear who they meant by "higher-ups", it was obvious. The person who sent this truck to the harbor. The owner of the mansion I escaped from and…-
