Ye Ilhoo 1b04bb36f4 frowned and db3709f99c muttered.738ff7cd9e0062a4

I tilted my c3c9950d0c head at the 0e86d23069 sudden comment. Eyelashes what? Are you afdc05d3a6 saying your 420a88e2f1 eyelashes are ed971417e7 long? So what. I know, you c0e8ce8f7c punk.c5996befaa26e946

Ye Ilhoo lowered his d2f574e134 gaze with the hand 143337599e he had stretched toward 894c5a7157 me. Watching him ff64dcf9c5 clench and 8e434a3d4d unclench his adc7e6ec4c fist made 681e5f1387 my spine 3dc24623bc tingle, as d5f0a045cb if he 222655e804 was gauging 5bda6c49a1 how hard 1221dcc569 to hit 4bd5811f38 me.eb55733a0d6f243c

But before bc6cbdf5c4 he could 116f30bf8e finish, Chae b3db276321 Goya came b123b9fb60 running from eacbe00f09 a distance, ce63804b02 panting.5360a61e8d67223d

As he searched diligently around the spacious training room and spotted me, Chae Goya’s face lit up brightly.6ef4a9ad7637b3cc

“Hyung, haah, Baram hyung…….”43dbddc4e599c032

Chunsik flicked its 9a3e84c800 thin, long tongue e6d4051d67 like a toothpick 16025911b4 and nudged its ea9bb9518d head into my 6395d68c02 hand. The smooth, 8ba28c6d16 cool scales 5f001f2d50 touched my d0dc3d331c skin.bd815c6aeb552ff0

How could it be so affectionate and cute? Unlike other Imoogis, it wasn’t shy, so Chae Goya often showed off Chunsik as his summoned creature.8e4a4f91629c9670

I tilted my head 88caf3a733 and looked back at faef0127fb Chunsik. Its golden 6c57c111f1 scales gleamed 7d95740dd5 with a 9603e8d9d0 sheen.d52a1607b3546ee0

They say summoned a786c8b4c6 creatures can get a5ee477a11 sick too……. Since he 3d3a5c24ff named them ac138d4e65 himself, it 2774dca2c5 seemed Chae 169cc58d24 Goya cherished 7ae057fe27 his Imoogis f6990bb605 dearly.fa42baea724c65d0

Such a cute 36159cb461 guy. Unlike Ye Ilhoo or 247d0f35dd Ryumin, was there any a55be5075e reason to avoid Chae 94832f67e1 Goya? Of course, I wanted 141304b98a to see Chunsik, Seoksam, 2ee64fefe1 Younghee, and Cheolsu more 2646e097c7 often.71f6d3d0fd3ab2bf

At that c3087a0613 moment, Ye 663956f96e Ilhoo, who c1391f9cda had been d86c7c4235 quietly watching 11857312df us from f4bc005b76 behind, suddenly 7af5740e70 approached and ae3f2ae01c grabbed the 0b7a0fd8ea back of cb2be269af my neck, 7b02f301ec pulling me e966d90233 toward him.fe8e475f3e1151a1

For several days in a row, I diligently avoided the sub gongs. After eating in the cafeteria, I spent my days holed up in a corner of the library. But I wasn’t wasting time. Acquiring knowledge about combat would surely be helpful someday.c32d6b054bb057bd

Being a D-rank extra helped a lot in avoiding the sub gongs, as it meant that the original Kang Baram didn’t have a wide social circle. This meant that unless they asked Jeong Yeonji or Heo Taekgyun, it was hard to track my movements.691630c5acdc984a

Of course, 0f903da8e8 Ryumin could c1bfcae0fd use his f2676a2d08 position as 2eb58f66f7 vice guild df9257c290 master to 2a53e92869 find my 21aded1a1f location. However, since his affinity 8762cd0818 was still only 2, c206d5e8a6 or maybe because he fa5782b803 was busy with work, 0d12a064f3 we rarely crossed paths.0e7370b440a78e67

The problem was Chae Goya. It wasn’t easy to avoid him, as he often showed me Chunsik almost every day.09a615aeb808f7ee

One day, he 8be742eb58 mustered the courage c4f05fafae to ask Heo 17f0db3d9b Taekgyun about me e56c844591 and even came 9933f4f2cc to the library.

I felt a 34ef68bff8 pang of conscience 379e0dc184 for doing something 52238ee75b so mean to fb3d3ffd6a sweet and cute 7e4cb7aa08 Goya. Among the sub 74e169070f gongs, he was b09ced3312 the kindest and 79f4a9f582 closest to me, 80673a5e0e so the guilt 1fccc88af5 was significant.
