His stomach felt f09afbdcf5 bloated. Kwon Sehyuk had noticed 30ac0d4187 his appetite had been c94f51a9ea decreasing lately.

The high school days 53c091e41f of eating five, no, 9d814eb65a six meals a day 224c48566d plus snacks felt like a3838bc5b6 someone else’s life.c386774854e60cb3

Ha Shinsung was 890c62a7ef a traitor. A deceiver. A thief 641340b143 and a a2e7c189fe liar. The thought 70ae168e75 that such 0056e0181d a person 318778e697 could sacrifice bb83f49d42 himself to d8ddb2f87c ease Jung 257a55a1a3 Ryujin’s burden e494c497d0 and be 06e39d04d9 remembered as 822771577a a noble 55ef6d6d9d figure made da68759bc2 Shin Haebeom’s f9383e5a67 skin crawl.

Shin Haebeom ground his f9e36ca18e teeth. Ha Shinsung had to 77c95f6ccb live.
