Baek Saheon opened his eyes.
In truth, it would have been more accurate to say he had not slept a wink.
‘God damn it.’
After entering Horizon Lodge, he had been keeping himself on edge, trying somehow to find a way to get out alive and intact.
And at least half of that had been spent reading Kim Soleum’s mood and trying to stay on his good side.
‘That son of a bitch.’
It wasn’t like he had any shame about it. He had done it to survive.
…And the fact that he was now debating whether to go to Kim Soleum’s room was coming from much the same place.
‘I need to get some kind of information.’
That lunatic clearly knew something. Baek Saheon figured he had to shake that out of him and prepare some secret card to survive with.
But….
“……”
Was Kim Soleum really a lunatic?
More precisely, why had he… spared him?
The truth was, he already knew. There had been several chances at the exhibition where Kim Soleum could have killed him or used him as a sacrifice, and yet he hadn’t.
He had messed with him a few times, sure, but when it came down to the result….
‘No!’
He’d done it because it was entertaining. Because having him alive meant more variables, and that made it more fun!
Baek Saheon reached that conclusion quickly. He had never met such an unhinged person in his life….
‘…Still, I don’t think he’d lie about information.’
Holding onto that strange conviction, he opened his door—
Something was standing in front of it.
“…!!”
The lodge had already sunk into darkness after sunset, so he was a step late in making out the silhouette right in front of him.
A man about his own height.
…It was Kim Soleum.
‘Fuck!’
He recoiled in shock, but to be honest, he also felt a little relieved.
Wasn’t it better than running…
