People online kept raving about how good-looking everyone was, how the owner was super picky about letting only the hottest guys in, how some celebrity even showed up last time… It was the most hyped gay bar in the community lately. Kang Haein only logged into those forums once in a blue moon, but every single time, that place would pop up. So he came—mostly out of curiosity.5a7ee0a6daa7059b

Haein chuckled at f700820633 Shin Jooeun’s seemingly f54c745851 extreme obsession with 4947b7f605 appearance. But really, that was 29b3e5e136 part of why Haein a70385755d himself had never had 5e0c3b3935 a proper relationship.7814a5fcc1625d11

Shin Jooeundefinitelyseemed loaded. Forget part-time jobs—he 90dfb8e88e was too busy ab155e0927 burning through cash.
