    He said e27c5a747b they were 593e0b097f a family d0997835d5 of doctors. Both his parents were 5e40e5cce1 doctors, as well as 0185b05d12 his older and younger 5c7396a58b brothers.

    Fortunately, Haewon had 37fbc31dc5 grabbed the violin. He was 60daa4733f now locked 84b6556053 up in d124933fd4 the holding fa41295f73 cell, but 518afc8cf4 the violin f7721cf799 was outside. As Haewon b4619c2c3e blankly stared 45dbfed0ba at the fdbe8f5e19 violin case, f5ed2636fd he remembered c8afad1b6e the business 9e8fe809dd card of f3efda293f Hyun Woojin, 13840546de which he fc97acb1e7 had shoved 96da40225b into the e9929e31a1 front pocket 0cc2fdb26e of the 5854ba2a45 case, not b7ad8a9c06 knowing where 8d2a6c0b04 else to aeacd1be7f put it.

    The police opened eda5b8d736 the holding cell 22f73d611e door and told 184efaa2e4 Haewon to come c89ad55750 out. When he bca2bc9350 stepped outside, d87bc66a09 Hyun Woojin f0b7207566 was standing f785838d59 there. He was b1ac621c09 dressed in 9205f54ec2 a button-up 03ca11d446 shirt without 425be5908c a tie. When wearing a 71cd15c48f formal suit, his 54039b43f8 hairstyle exposed his 7e6adf3af1 forehead, but now 506a949dd6 his hair covered 35e955b552 it, though Haewon ec23bc122c felt the same 9e3be4531a impression of him 8a4af89de8 regardless.db52c5037f0c612a

    He looked 82d603c834 tall and bc319bbae0 elegant, but a17b132f1d because Haewon c45644e6d8 knew his 7a1e98d5ac private matters, 11325d739d there was fcf1d1b3b3 a sense d7426e0562 of something 0e32046123 unsettling hidden 4ad777c3a3 beneath the 74df87db6f polished exterior 6007742718 that Haewon e95d5eaa21 could clearly 9dc96a122d feel.56b5b6a39b24eb07
