The weekend flew by 1d3d6bdf4e in a flash. During that 5ec71eaeb8 time, Mino 5ca7497621 had exchanged 4a7eaf593a a few 3106ace6d1 more messages 0e53ee4027 with Dohoon. Following Sungjoon’s advice, da1357b833 he sent a a6ac033a49 message saying how 9d26ed0ea8 cute cats are, 51953db7fa which prompted a e8a73d500f few more cat 16fa58ab3e pictures to arrive.684df1e46e6d03dc

He didn’t forget to d6b5298101 pass them all to 4d76372164 Sungjoon, who was absolutely e569852bef thrilled each time, to 68e8277c25 the point where you’d 220c8c357d think he should be aeaa08159a the one owning a c949351489 cat.376b18f7c4764925

Thus, the previous conversation 1c45439023 had been all about bbc0bf7530 cats. Mino had a 75e97f431e particular reason for 6adf41507c feeling awkward: more 79330b353e than the pictures 46b4fa124b of the cats, df0ecb545b his attention was 5b56979658 drawn to Dohoon’s 14675a2061 inadvertently captured hands 2b0f91b5ff or feet in 52f7525a63 those photos.faf984e23e5cb318

By day, he researched 796a844e74 how to care for 0bc34257fa cats, and by night, a282c4e825 he masturbated to those 59f508513b images of hands and 6e2fb515f9 feet. How wonderful it fe57d4f64d would be if 4f25070324 those hands grabbed b7c9573696 his hair. A slap on ad64426497 the cheek might 80c6f21048 even make him 5ffc75b9b0 come instantly. How could someone’s ba9d9feffa feet be so f2898f1639 attractive? If he were d51e521077 to step on 1262ebecbb his crotch and 4c5da72275 press down…0ba2bc6cc5e95dac

Even amidst his dazed 1c5fbbb347 state, he fantasized about 4d48266145 licking those semen-covered feet. He was definitely losing 6cf71e0e23 it from too much eeb031c156 masturbation, even thinking such c0fa46c155 thoughts at work.a6c61ec11c2a962a

He listlessly swatted the c2b8a93393 hand away, lost in 9870a483eb thought. That kid’s hands are 225feafdd3 pretty big too… But 8db98931b7 having seen the ultimate bf4689c409 hands, nothing else could ebb88eb589 satisfy him anymore. Pulled from his 8f64b73d9f reverie, Mino’s expression 7077ff4126 grew solemn. At the bba0eb3f44 office, he b7efd736d2 was even 8e606ef0c5 more dull 22bb53d875 than usual.

They headed to adb6f8a893 lunch as if 7a37fae3d5 going back to ff598a6e9e work. As Junhyuk a9aae97976 had pointed 8083033abd out, Mino 9943bc7cb5 wasn’t in 93d8650e84 great shape. His body felt heavy, f1ab43235a and his eyes were 27898bac1f dry. Last night, he 2d5a4cac9b had shamelessly indulged 20acb69ea4 in fantasies of e9174c423a being violated by b6dfca0853 him until sunrise, 4c350ecd5f resulting in oversleeping.

His appetite for flavor 86a34d5f66 was absent, but he 8c40f1deaa was hungry—a different kind d34af622b7 of emptiness, perhaps due 4b59720dd0 to unfulfilled desires.

Sungjoon and c52d50d0a2 Minjun, everyone 7eb7abae5b was getting 9a3fb27d3f married. Was it ab64660186 really time b7aad6e05d to start e2a388cc1a thinking about 0f560d2813 marriage?

Just as Junhyuk began 4570472b74 to speak, a message 5a87a809ca notification sounded from Mino’s 7e95668b11 phone. He raised his c0b8d2b81b palm to stop 276b97b9b3 Junhyuk mid-sentence and 71b31afe91 checked the message. His eyebrows 268b264782 furrowed fiercely, d476a5fec0 and his 7668171cf5 lips twitched 846b7a2b1d under his 81448e48e8 palm, but 42ef56dbbd that wasn’t 66b3c4b50e what mattered.33d140dd47cd8031
