Chapter 6: A Note and Five Faces
Seon-ho looked down at the short note on the table.
He opened the envelope.
It held a thick stack of ten-thousand-won notes, and a slip that said "month one" in the same stiff hand.
It was a month of pay for a night that had nothing to do with pay.
His face went hot, and then cold, and then angry.
He put the envelope back on the table, squared it against the edge, and left it there.
He kept the key.
"I don't read notes," he told the empty flat.
Then he put on his hoodie and went downstairs into a bright, washed morning.
Da-bin was waiting at the Gate 12 depot with her arms crossed.
She ran the crew infirmary tent.
She was twenty-seven and B-rank, with a sleek bob and one blonde streak.
Her round glasses went up her nose whenever she was about to be rude.
She pushed them up now.
"The whole depot's talking about you," she said. "Seon-ho healed the Deserter. Seon-ho got hired by the Deserter. Seon-ho is sleeping with the Deserter."
"Who said that last one?"
"I'm guessing. Am I wrong?"
He opened his mouth and found no good lie.
"Oh my god," said Da-bin.
"It's not..."
"You're insane. Sit."
She shoved a paper cup of barley tea into his hand.
"I've heard what happens to people who get close to him."
"Healers have quit after a week. One of them wouldn't talk about it. Just shook."
"He didn't hurt me."
"I'm not saying he hurt anyone. I'm saying something's wrong around him."
She lowered her voice.
"I'm your friend. I'm taking your blood this afternoon, and I'm checking it twice."
