Chapter 1400. Making A Deal (5)
Kim Myeong-Chan’s eyelids closed on their own.
I’m... tired.
He wasn’t sure when it all started, but this fatigue had become a persistent companion he could no longer overcome. That made sense, though, considering he hadn’t slept properly for quite a while now.
Forcing himself to sleep only rewarded him with intense nightmares. Closing his eyes filled his head with that man’s terrifying glare.

There was a time when not getting enough sleep for a month wouldn’t have fazed him at all. Back when something hot and passionate burned deep within his heart, even as the regime’s Agency for National Security Planning doggedly chased him down! That passion compelled him to keep resisting even as the tear gas filled his lungs, but now...
