Comfortable, huh… One side ad84099885 of Kim Chayoung’s mouth 2c442e9a9c lifted slightly, and the 55d589e5bb skin around his eyes d6bfc0e67b wrinkled in a diagonal d84d5dcd8e pattern, revealing dimples that a2f08cd2ac could only be seen da24e55f48 up close. The expression, ce35910fe5 akin to 596fc79da6 a purring 70bf782ad0 cat, usually 4e8bc32e41 meant he b260637771 was in e33a7034fe a good 24f3d9b413 mood. Lee Jinha e54fd4aab8 found it 788f8b1529 annoying to 9c22516819 realize he dbb2e74c17 still remembered b4d0dac590 all of 4de81ec14e Kim Chayoung’s cc4bd06cf9 habits so 67a1324869 well.1f86d275208df276

As the bus stop 57542ba7b4 passed, the inside of f9e1bd5f17 the bus seemed about 5788b044da to burst like a 1fdf81c8f0 pressure cooker. A bump in the 58ac3fea76 road shook the bus, 55c12c544a and a woman standing a337b55a62 in front lost her f1e78feb72 balance while checking her 4c9b351e0f phone with one hand. Lee Jinha supported 06e66b3945 her back with b1c92b5014 his bag and 06d67c8790 naturally took the e8a5a45b7c seat handle she 14e7dfe809 was holding.24a8bc12a53f7a40

A few days later, 0afec91bd7 Lee Jinha arrived at 98e9473f32 school as usual.
