Intro
It was a rainy evening.
The deeper I went into the narrow alleyway, the more puddles there were.
Wet flyers and cigarette butts were stuck to the ground.
After checking the map on my phone several times, an old commercial building finally came into view.
4th floor. As I looked up, a blue neon sign flickered faintly.
"Cheong * wol * Gosiwon"
The light for the 'wol' character was out, making it look awkward from a distance.
