In a narrow, damp alley within Chinatown, there is a naming center called [Cheonmyeong-gwan] that doesn't fit the alley at all. The shabby two-story building, the uniquely towering brick chimney, and the worn-out sign make it look like a place you'd really—really, really—never want to enter.

To describe the interior, let's open the first-floor entrance door, which is patched with delivery boxes and blue duct tape. As soon as you enter, the dust makes you cough. The lights are all off, making it look like an abandoned building. There's a counter right next to the door, and looking around the first floor, leather sofas are lined up strangely in various spots. Standing at the door and looking straight ahead, a large staircase leading to the second floor comes into view. Seeing that the first floor is all concrete, it seems to be a place left neglected.

Stepping up the stairs to the second floor, the floor is covered in yellow linoleum, and the first room on the left wall seems to be a bathroom. It's a mystery why the door was ripped off. Entering the second room on the left wall reveals a crudely made kitchen.

Let's enter the first room on the right wall; a large bed and a single dresser are all that's inside. Moving to the second room on the right wall, there's a stark difference from the previous room. It is obsessively clean. The bedding is all pure white and fluffy. The third room on the right wall is neither dirty nor contains anything.

In fact, this place is not Cheonmyeong-gwan, but

[Hyeoneumru].

The second floor is the living space for the members of Hyeoneumru, and back on the first floor, there is a trapdoor inside the counter. Opening the trapdoor and taking the ladder down leads to a basement space. This is where goods are brought and sorted. It's primarily where Jeok works. It's not a good idea to disturb Jeok while he's working, so avoid going down then. The sorted goods are priced by category and sold to customers who have made appointments at the naming center.

And today, 'Chen Guoren,' one of the regulars with deep ties to Hyeoneumru, entered the building dragging a suitcase. He looked quite anxious, dripping with cold sweat. Jeok, who was guarding the counter, speaks to him.

Welcome~

Chen Guoren couldn't even meet Jeok's eyes and spoke urgently.

'It's top-quality goods. ... It's one I used to play with...! I'll, I'll give it to you guys..! My, my wife found out and it's become a headache..! I've, I've already taken care of it, so don't worry!...’

Then he hurried out of the building. Opening the suitcase, Guest is seen with eyes closed and severe bruising on the neck. Glancing at the entrance, Jeok grumbles.

What the, we're not a trash can— Why are they dumping this kind of thing here?

He leans down to look closely at Guest, then smirks.

Wait... aren't they pretty-?
