Kwon Yongjun tried to lock the door again, but it still wasn't easy. He jiggled the door several times, sighing in frustration. After wrestling with it for about five minutes, his face flushed red as he finally managed to lock it. He was quite handsome. "You're okay with cold soybean noodles, right?" Kwon Yongjun asked, slightly breathless. "Yes, I like them." "Will you ride with me, or follow in your car?" "I'll ride with you." Taeheun followed Kwon Yongjun into the passenger seat of the…-

On the way to town, Taeheun changed clothes and put on his retrieved luxury watch. He felt a sense of relief shedding the dreadful tracksuit. Slipping into soft Italian leather shoes, he finally felt like himself again. However, his well-tailored suit now hung loosely on him. The change in his physique after eight years wasn't welcome. I'll get back in shape soon, he vowed, getting a much-needed haircut at a local salon. He styled it himself with mousse. The salon owner and Detective Park…-

ACJY C15
He woke to the sound of voices. He had a pillow under his head and a summer blanket covering him; the man must have brought them. At the table, he saw a familiar figure from behind. The voice, too, was familiar. It was Detective Oh. "Heard you've been busy lately?" "It's summer, what do you expect?" "Gotta make hay while the sun shines. Even if it's tough, think of it as your own work." "Yes, I will." Detective Oh offered advice to the man as an older brother might to a much younger sibling.…-

Taeheun's gaze drifted down to the man's legs. He'd changed into shorts, revealing both legs, which, contrary to Taeheun's expectations, were straight and long. The left one seemed to be the problematic leg. Slightly thinner and a bit bowed compared to the right, it didn't appear significantly disabled. Embarrassed by how long he'd been staring, Taeheun coughed and headed to the bathroom. It was clean. A toilet, shower, sink, and small cabinet – the most basic style. The tiles were old and cracked,…-

The man who got out of the truck startled as if he'd seen a ghost. “What time did you leave? I’ve been waiting since 8 am.” Taeheun stood up, dusting off his pants. Just like two days prior, the man was shirtless, a towel draped around his neck. It appeared he didn’t usually work shirtless, as the deep tan of his arms contrasted sharply with the lighter brown of his torso. The man’s gaze traveled down Taeheun's attire, landing on his feet. His brow furrowed. “Ah, this. I got a…-

Overcome with excitement, he'd slightly torn the skin on his left palm on the barbed wire, but other than that, he'd cleared the wall unscathed. He crouched low, surveying his surroundings. Fuck. Taeheun looked around at the pitch-black darkness, perplexed. He’d assumed there would be a village nearby since they’d driven him here, but all he saw was forest. What he'd glimpsed through the fence, thinking it a road, wasn’t a road at all. It was the rubble of another building. It looked…-

The man stared indifferently at the strangers standing in front of his house. “Who are you?” a pleasant baritone voice asked. Shirtless, the man wore faded red boots, just like in the photograph, and a towel around his neck. He was much more handsome in person. “You’ve been working, I see. Mr. Yoon, you remember me, right? I’m Han Dongguk, I run the real estate office in town. I came by with Daeho a while back, remember?” Mr. Han introduced himself with a friendly…-

After driving for about 40 minutes from the town center, the already narrow road became even narrower. “From here on is Dongjam-ri.” Taeheun had just noticed the signpost that read “Dongjam-ri.” The village scenery, memorized from the photos he had scrutinized, looked no different from the places they had just passed, yet it felt strangely special. So that's the village hall… Saetteo, wasn’t it? He straightened up from his slouched position. He eagerly scanned the endless…-

The atmosphere grew heavy. Even the alcohol ran out. As if prepared for this moment, Detective Oh rummaged through the pockets of his summer jacket and produced a folded white envelope. “What’s this?” I asked, taking the envelope. “This is where you’ll be living from now on, Director. I mentioned it before, do you remember?” “Ah.” Once out of the safe house, Taeheun was scheduled to stay in a rural village bordering Gyeonggi and Chungcheong provinces. This was the time needed…-
