When You Forget Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 53

The ringing sound, which had gone off several times, suddenly stopped, and the metallic creak of a door opening was heard.

Unfazed even in this situation, Gi Ju flung the door wide open and walked out of the room with deliberate, unhurried steps, making no attempt to conceal his presence. The men in suits, who had been sneaking in like insects, froze at the sight of him.
