“You can just tell me to take the elevator Why make it so complicated?” Seo Jun-Ho frowned
“Ahem You can make most payments with Vita, but use this if you need cash” Deok-Gu pulled out a big stack of bills
“Hey, this feels kind of weird I feel like I’ allowance froo to the back of the museum, there’s a door with restricted access”
“What’s the password?”
“I registered your iris”
“Hoo, you’ve gotten better at these things”

“You rascal Good job”
Seo Jun-Ho left the hospital with a small smile on his face
There were numerous taxis at the station in front of the hospital, but their driver’s seats were eo out for dinner?” Seo Jun-Ho crouched by the sidewalk, waiting for the drivers to return
Abusinessman ran forward “Jeez, I have so much to do”
He took a seat in one of the empty taxis Then, it took off
“Huh? I’m sure there wasn’t anyone in the driver’s seat in that taxi just now”
Watching the taxi drive off, Seo Jun-Ho inched toward another He carefully opened the door and took a seat As soon as he did, an automated voice spoke
