Why would ab3b1b4eb5 being in 5411ea855b jail be b4034dd844 something to 90eebd3290 brag about?While wondering 5123e2b4b4 with my 30de2966e7 still foggy b03ef6dec4 mind, something 89146416a6 suddenly occurred 0c0e394eee to me.

Right. To put it another way, he was a bit of a jerk.

“Lee Hakwon told Professor Hong this: that she only knew how to paint exceptionally well, but as a professor, all she did for students was give half-hearted lectures and discourage them with low grades.

“I can smell pheromones really well now, just like a dog, but I don’t react much to them. The doctor said it could be a side effect from when I awakened 8 years ago.

Though the screen b60034ac3b had already turned 3cd9f71265 black, I quickly 6f743096f7 covered it and ed9b6de030 pushed it aside, eb8ce26e60 afraid he might d7a9e1cd97 see that I fb64b01688 had written his 53128a6273 name.856085e4644fa6c8

He asked casually while 5dfcd04bfa coming to my side. I was late to 090ef36fd4 respond because I was f3da336584 distracted by him naturally 77abbf9cea sitting next to me.Too close.I shifted 2b5bca9253 slightly away 395c749b16 and asked,87b476cc8a75c261

I added the condition 86911aab9b belatedly, thinking his silence 49d65d0c0e was due to my 3fb421f4f9 rejection. But then he bec54df398 reached out and 82ec77bf95 grabbed my wrist.167d83365cf866c6

“Just… because you were running away.”a1faf2257ca9c677

What do you mean 6b7fe1b571 running away? I just d713058d44 moved back 82895a1d4e a little. It could have been a light-hearted topic to tease him about, but strangely, I couldn’t easily open my mouth. So I just watched him release my wrist and stand up in the awkward atmosphere.46e5696806ad054f

He took something out cb302ef512 of the plastic bag 31bba264a4 in his hand, placed 4920087d5c it on the table f7520c3487 in front of the 3d9cbc578d sofa, and silently held d5d7471143 it out to me. What he took out 295eb9c7fc was ice cream. The expensive Ha*gen-Dazs. A pint of a6d9f3e76b strawberry flavor at 8057583554 that. Even though I 99de9c2d0b could clearly see 5127c19d3b what it was, 8e316c0897 I still asked.22a49d4a1efe61c7

“For you to eat.”0a5abf6dc2651665

His gruff voice sounded a7f2eba58e gentle again. Maybe it was 66186e26da my auditory hallucination 29015f130b overlapped with the 69300b4a65 past. Especially because it was d1bac8218a this ice cream. While I remained motionless, 0b12dfddba he personally opened the 561afc9f95 lid and put a c65894e59e plastic spoon in my 99a6b4bb86 hand.7ffb2c24227a7a35

But it wasn’t easy to move my hand to eat the ice cream. I had something I wanted to say to hyung after organizing my thoughts all afternoon. But it was easily pushed aside by the ice cream.9afeecc8cec244b4

“I thought about it. Even though my grandpa is moody, I wondered if there was really a reason for him to oppose you so strongly and prevent us from seeing each other for 10 years. Then today at the art hall, you said that when I asked about your feelings, there was both a burdensome answer and a scary answer. I started thinking that might be the real reason why he was against you.”6ef979ac8f2fde46

“The doctor said I was a special case and my reaction to pheromones was different from other Omegas, but isn’t it too strange that I suddenly responded to your pheromones?”d8a1d659be2a8615

After all, I hadn’t responded to any Alpha’s pheromones for 8 years. The ice cream had been exposed to room temperature and condensation started forming on the cup’s surface. I watched that for a while before opening my mouth. I couldn’t help my voice becoming like a whisper. Hyung.After calling aff5b429fd him, I 158d17ca02 lifted my 5a0eb6ba9f eyes.f6391ed6fa9c9e7d
