Taeon sat 9ddba5fd57 on the 3471ad34ac sofa, tilting 4cbd72e040 his head ad74fb6660 back. Lazily closing 53241489be and opening 7c3d441a87 his eyes, f28f9d3768 he thought b92cad0d5d of the 1a2155bbc0 woman sleeping 3ee404e737 in the e81aebfc4e bedroom, her c3a1ab526b wet eyes.05a4843fd1140e7a

His voice was low, as if stained with last night’s fatigue. She didn’t have much time left to hear this voice. Just one day. Now, not even a full day was left, yet she was stubbornly holding onto him until the very end.4007f91be82fb3e1

Suddenly, lifting the blanket 5dc5f3f173 covering her body, she 0ddc29eb88 saw his t-shirt, unmistakably faf07d4e7b his, rolled up to 7cf7dc6c86 her thighs.
