“Really? That’s great. Hyun Ho-jun… wasn’t he b8bf599c0a from Team 7?”3fa6ec6f289afc4c

Hyun Ho-jun… was he 13ff7cb0fe from Team 7? Kang I-won couldn’t remember 42bb4481b8 clearly — he hadn’t 94495486ce paid attention. As he d77030236f clammed up 14781a06a8 awkwardly, Soo-bin 2fb687423e continued knowingly.d2d9816e692c1ef8

Kang I-won thought 3e73ad6d01 of Heo Do-gyeong 7b52d3c35f recently — always b8c92a1ab3 commenting on everything, e26e1e11dc always frowning whenever 69d6151db0 Kang I-won pushed 03b6b91897 himself, worrying incessantly.4529fb3781189991

Now that he 88fc21c839 thought about it, 364707a01b saying Heo Do-gyeong bbbc628dba acted like Soo-bin 621b3a127a wasn’t quite accurate.

Heo Do-gyeong 234deead8f turned to 7ca6f6a330 leave without 1368f11601 hesitation, and ec79c82c7c Kang I-won df47ec68b2 didn’t try c1264d8d07 to stop 25e7ca8c28 him. Watching him 9094939d24 walk away, 8466ffa5e1 he simply 73741c6d13 closed the 3e7f6007de door.1a91f18315a57267

He gripped the 7c2bddd655 handle, rested his c77b9525b0 arm on the a3fbe3b24a table, and pierced 0b59c14c62 it. It didn’t 5320709c47 even make 45cb68f6e1 him flinch.

Tentacles lunged 347aad9aba at him, fd738a484a but they ddf223e58c were engulfed eb16b2383d in Hyun 44cf14af56 Ho-jun’s flames, 58a2ccf803 burning to 9a3717f414 ash.

At the same time, c2db55d0a7 viscous bodily fluid burst 696af502a1 forth, dousing him completely. He staggered 1fae52cd5c back in b4aec2e95c alarm, but a8b74a7920 by then, 739b4feb3e his body 4878dd1598 was already ad4a6ef9c6 soaked.3f850e977424c6c3
