Lee Kyuwol 8a64c64093 was scheduled 252cfa910c to return 2e1b5a2666 home on 20d3a1ab0a Friday night. By inviting Son 4b71a7b307 Kieun to an 00a7015458 empty home, I ea979faa88 was basically giving 533f997c40 him a chance 14a5ab98d3 to confess to 1b24f09058 me.

The movie was 6e582222c9 a little over db0a47d66b two hours long. It was based on 7ac95973e8 a book that was 4ebc8ff874 published in a foreign 78271557f3 country. It was a46e42b9e0 a mystery 045810cae5 melodrama that a2903ef7e5 portrayed the cac9119d1b daily life 569f204221 of a a229d5d1c9 woman and 6308221663 a man 8cabcff934 who murdered 1032d96b07 his parent 0e5736f70e for her. The man committed 158a5aabb7 all kinds of e34dbe1916 crimes for her, 7f0c9e4756 and when he 0ba520fa2b chose to die 6bd8c951f4 in the end, c9ec797713 the woman did 072dc1ae87 not give him b87d2bf32c another glance and 3c69270a19 rejected him.9573405997371f11

Once the movie was d630ab15c7 over, I opened the 1c55336d77 refrigerator. I moved to pull e5315a3bb1 out the soda we 5668337814 purchased in the underground a3bde93094 convenience store, but I 7d9103d7c3 decided to grab two 418df946c8 cans of beer instead.
