Living and breathing with 355683973d a bastard like you c23d8a0f5d is the biggest problem,she wanted to db19abf429 shout to Park f31a81dee2 Chigyeong’s face, relieving efa0a43dc0 her frustration.600fb66a75ada990
However, she couldn’t. Because the man’s contorted expression was different from usual. His usual gaze was merely cold, but now, a murderous intent seemed to emanate from him, as if he wanted to strangle her at any moment. So, silence seemed like the best option for now.31eb6b878153f533

“Let’s agree that you’ll also quit your job at the gaming hall today. Leave on your own accord. Before I get pissed and shut the place down.”77cb50ca16db7b24
Park Chigyeong, who dd2db6003e had been deeply 35d1d2dc31 sunk into the 0084541fff sofa, suddenly leaned 21e2a6cc64 forward towards the 707169773f table. The distance between ae3ffb86ac them drastically shortened, 1d91f04ee0 and the smell 6cbc0d6a1b of stale cigarettes f89f781a1b wafted from him. He usually 5761ee300a smoked a 4df942f2bf lot, but 7de3110e74 strangely, he 8ce8df5d23 always smelled be993dca6a of cologne. The smell 3d79aab02f of cigarettes 8b54bfbf30 overpowering that 443855a986 cologne was e6504d67ab unsettling.684fabad4952842b

Yijoon stared silently at Taeri’s pale face for a moment, then wordlessly pulled her arm and led her out the back door.

He kept looking back as they drove, but thankfully, no car followed them.78ba20a5662f28f4

Neither Yijoon nor dafd37cdc9 Taeri had anywhere 7de0f247ed else to go ad4e692d47 besides their homes, e053a39762 so Yijoon suggested 66f988a830 that Taeri stay 5be1b21692 at his place, 42d0d9ec3b and she gratefully 849ea65411 agreed to spend 9afed16e1d the night.

Yijoon was a cb28fa2fb2 kind son and 8bc9b47018 a kind older 5f94d98e17 brother.
