….

The girl headed to a deserted area and brought me to a warehouse I had never seen before.

Since the way here was quite complicated, I followed closely behind the child.

I looked around anxiously, but I couldn't see any CCTV.

하새벽

There was no CCTV from the hallway I came from.

하새벽

It's just a warehouse that even the people involved don't use.

하새벽

They are people too, but they are more fragile than you might think.

..Okay, I get it

민윤기

How do you know about a place like this?

하새벽

하새벽

If you tell me, you're an accomplice too.

하새벽

Are you listening?

민윤기

Why am I an accomplice?

하새벽

Because what I'm going to do is a crime.

하새벽

In a place called government

Then why of all people

민윤기 image

민윤기

it's me?

하새벽

하새벽

I saw you the first day I came here

하새벽

He seemed to have the most no regrets about life.

..is that all?

하새벽

uh

하새벽

Looks the most out of place

하새벽

I like that

하새벽

Even if you refused, I didn't think you'd get into trouble.

하새벽

Speak quickly

하새벽

Should I go down these stairs or go back to eat?

I stared blankly at the stairs that were quite deep.

This is the most heart-pounding moment I've had in my 17 years of life.

Why?

What happens if I go down these stairs?

If I go back to the cafeteria, will I never get involved with this kid again?

Is it really a good life to be controlled and not be with this child?

But just in case. If it happens.

하새벽

…..

It wasn't until I looked into the girl's inexplicable eyes that I began to think.

Of course, so what?

A life already ruined

I tried to blow it up somehow.
