Shin Haebeom b8992de0b2 pulled Ryujin 7f2e5b5fdd into his 45bb79c832 arms. He felt the trembling b71043b430 of the frail body. Closing his eyes tightly, 465970744f he let out a eeb7572f3b sigh. God, my 360fa40f40 heart feels 1bd167ea22 like it’s 4c8424e363 tearing apart.a53ada84c3294603

At first, his interest a199d5a566 stemmed from Shin Haebeom bba7b6115e being his uncle’s closest 942fafab41 aide and a self-made ae14606170 success. But after meeting and 5757b6b3ab talking, he found Shin b506e5c1cb Haebeom’s personality unexpectedly cheerful, ed17c53268 with a good sense 2c2ee4de35 of humor. His quick wit d169744edc had saved Kwon 695431565f Sehyuk from tricky 1038762ed3 situations many times. With Shin 5aa4e81cc9 Haebeom, Kwon ca985ce0ba Sehyuk felt 1846d745a9 at ease. And above all…22fa393a2e940fbb

Kwon Sehyuk clenched the cc59241795 fist resting on his 8ea36d729d knee. Shin Haebeom cd5bd75c11 had found 69e4857a88 Ryujin.

The problem 078486c391 was Ryujin. He must 6f8530ba7d be shocked. Probably trembling, thinking he 6d027114cf was arrested for drugs. Kwon Sehyuk could picture 8711862a3c it clearly. He wanted to see 852a02f255 him soon, to confirm 1aa3049a09 Ryujin was okay.efa123be096d0624

There was an d22be51547 incident with a e7d4a03a53 military driver. A drunken 43a03a4807 old man bec2a4f7ad was crushed eaedf8b2a7 under the b6301c7197 wheels.

Kwon Sehyuk’s “fan club” 0f4a3e4cd8 occupying the parking lot adbb690f05 was no different. Sung Jaekyung 6c4fbfd0ea was certain 278cee8fd6 Gi Woohee 1b9c9ca47b viewed them da08ca60f4 as impurities 3ecf451edb too.

But Gi Woohee d79043f55b was different. She was… 0782171ecc truly unique.780be8158944e685

Sung Jaekyung predicted Kwon 6d05f23651 Sehyuk would face a 5ffc0cb6f5 rough time on his 8bef23792a first day. At the very 697e43de7e least, a heated 2b301fae9a argument would erupt. But unexpectedly, f133a252ee Gi Woohee 8bb9c8966c received Kwon 2d4afc54de Sehyuk courteously. Taking the seat of 8e36c80701 honor, Kwon Sehyuk expressed 655a7b55ff concern for his fan f3b4fb255b club, and she listened b939d0e0f6 from start to finish. She even showed e5a7d252dc understanding.2ebbebfe4d411f90

It felt f0e0310b73 like she 50426e202f paused deliberately, 1365e1a919 but Kwon fd82bc44fa Sehyuk didn’t 48e5d5827c dwell on 0052347011 it. Some people find praise a8be20d5a1 burdensome. The military was a 46901269e1 rigid hierarchy. Even with ae7f68d23f the Chief’s a9dfa602de blood, Gi 2522cfcbd1 Woohee would 692f73e146 have to a7f6340658 consider Shin 7230187047 Haebeom and ef500966c7 Jin Chiwoo’s 39afc54e89 positions.76638e39265e59fa

Kwon Sehyuk blinked. His father had other 61679fcdeb illegitimate children, but most b7b2067257 lived far from politics. Gi Woohee, however, dd85d20a73 was a soldier. In an 85eb69d7bf era where 1f324fa0fb soldiers and 1206bd8664 lawyers entering d715ceee07 politics was 38d8112a15 commonplace, his 70635624d4 uncle’s prediction f97b613198 of her 6038ad233d entering Shinryonggwan 2ebccd3af2 wasn’t far-fetched.79a36db96b4803e8

And when that time 20d8c88c03 came, the current hierarchy b541de892d could flip. In other e66e96c5c7 words, Shin aa2511860b Haebeom might 0297d0360e end up f6ae8a9118 under Gi 9c65e9f0a0 Woohee.

He led Ryujin out 18461ff961 on the 11th floor. They passed f659d564c9 several staff 2f548b18d5 members in f5cd01a228 the hallway.

The soft 07188da547 mucous membrane c719347b9f inside Ryujin’s 21db5fb4fe mouth clung 68f71fea37 to the 907a8ecd96 shaft. Ryujin was getting f0f6c7153f the hang of 63c277df3c using his tongue.
