Chapter 6: Entering the second gate
"Ah... yes."
Cheon Areum muttered absentmindedly. The more work, the better.
"Then I’ll come pick you up at 9 a.m. tomorrow?"
"I’ll come to the location myself. Can you just send it to me?"
***
"....."
Cheon Areum stood outside the entrance of his apartment building with no particular expression. In front of him, Gunwoo rolled down the tinted passenger window, smiling gleefully. Cheon Areum had been frozen in place from the moment the sleek, midnight-blue Bentley Continental GT entered his field of vision.
He had practically begged the man to just send the location, but Gunwoo stubbornly insisted on picking him up himself. In the end, Cheon Areum had to send him the address. After that, he searched online for an Alpha suppressor—the cheapest one cost a million won. He quietly closed the site and went to bed. He hadn’t slept a wink last night, wondering what Gunwoo was planning. But it turned out he just wanted to show off.
He might have thought Cheon Areum would be impressed by the Bentley—probably the first one he’d ever seen in person. That might have been true, if only he wasn’t the one possessing this body. For him, he had seen the car so often he was sick of it. His parents’ favorite car was also a midnight-blue Bentley Continental GT. The same car they took to the airport when leaving for their luxury vacation.
"Good morning."
As the door opened, the scent of expensive leather and overly sweet perfume drifted out. Cheon Areum held his breath and sat in the passenger seat, turning the scent diffuser on high. The overbearing fragrance was quickly suppressed by the faint scent of cedarwood. His mother’s favorite—she used to say it was comforting.
