Chapter 287
"Just a little longer now…."
Yoon Seul-hye, who'd been holed up in a performers' waiting room with no time even to feel nostalgic about being back at the Academy after so long, murmured to herself quietly.
The image of Choi Jun-hyeong came back to her — telling her he wouldn't let her off the hook if she botched this, and that if she pulled this last job off, she'd finally be free. Her body trembled before she could stop it.
She'd met countless people far stronger than him, but not one of them had ever made her feel the kind of terror he did. The memory of being crushed under that fear for so many years was branded deep into her mind.
"Ah."
…No.
There was one more person who scared her even worse.
And what's more, that person was her own age.
If things really went sideways, that person — exactly as she'd said herself — would sit her and Choi Jun-hyeong down side by side and put them through the "horrible things" she'd whispered about.
