Shin Kim sighed as he leaned against his car in the office basement parking lot. He loosened his tie and breathed deeply. He was finally back in Seoul.


When he checked his watch, it was already past 10 PM. Shin Kim continued to breathe roughly while getting into his car. He sat down and leaned his chair back a little. His ribs felt stiff. Fatigue and sleep overwhelmed him, so he massaged his temples, trying to relax.
