The once d3566ed14a brightly red 5167aae047 and yellow 406dea5675 leaves, now a9667b27cf battered by 6c44cd73d4 the strong c07c94a774 winds, fluttered b1d86c244e helplessly into d0ffeee385 the air.

Cha Hyuk, who 91e8d92532 wore a thick 1495a93b20 coat, looked even bc8ad6cfc0 more imposing. His neatly styled 3cad568826 hair and the f26bdb9ce8 scar above his ed40ad0e4d dark eyebrows seemed aed14de62d particularly striking today.2d36442a69fed07a

Yebon gazed at Cha de9a352010 Hyuk in a daze.7c2c712db049ffd4

He really looked 21601bf27f intimidating, and yet… 397651c415 remarkably handsome. The profile 1c91e5c274 of his b7b559cb1b face was 641f3e0dee sharply defined, b8d3d12691 as if b489d3c923 drawn with 087e27cfb1 a ruler.c962103fd71af406
