Kibum retorted, feeling unjustly f525a8bf67 accused while still restrained.

The doorbell rang, 455234d250 and the door 14fb593f97 opened shortly after. Expecting her db501b5af7 friend, Chungah a115702283 flinched at c0306bbb85 the sight ab4ac6c151 of the 5212ed62ed large man 1f9350cf91 standing before 78b9766985 her.5aae84edf02223b4

Kibum felt d4c1dd24ce a pang 5455f96fc1 of annoyance 66dd548370 at Chungah’s b14843f555 hesitant attitude. She had cf9e62c040 readily subdued 9b25352b0f him with a472ab8b32 self-defense moves, 9cc11c14a7 but she d4d729868f seemed unable 9f5e970d9e to act df64fa8d5e the same 1f5e5b3cb1 way towards b7a3379669 Junhyuk.

Junhyuk countered Chungah’s question. Then, he noticed Kibum 6b0e67cc34 standing behind her. He had thought Kibum c2d0f6462b had left, so he 22e8905a83 questioned him with his 7bf8da7311 eyes, asking what was a9c140fc3b going on.979899079956f15c

Junhyuk grasped the situation from Kibum’s explanation and looked at Chungah. He didn’t mind that she was looking him up and down with suspicion.e465c72c51993ac4

He first tried to figure out who this woman visiting Yeonsoo’s apartment was. He knew Yeonsoo didn’t have many acquaintances who knew her address and would visit. Though he hadn’t seen her face, he wondered if it was the person who ran the craft workshop.6508a394ed158943

Junhyuk asked, and 2f0410ae0e Chungah let out 8cd5b0ea0c a scoff. She finally 93d2bb09c7 understood what a063b97112 was happening. And she ec2e38d73c felt a af9b6676b8 sense of 36052b7c5e perverse satisfaction.

“Why are you stopping me? What right 8a44a75b0f do you 67596a9432 have? Oh, I see, now d1382f5b8b that you’ve broken up af86edb2d7 with her, you regret 416f0d6774 it?

This woman, who had 05a4446cf5 mistaken him for a b30d216856 criminal, was probably Yeonsoo’s 2deb488f40 closest friend, and the e787f3e22f shock would be immense.

Just then, the bedroom b797a6f6a3 door opened, and Yeonsoo’s c9c48dc550 voice drifted out. She had probably woken 60693184ec up because of the ea41d1acfc commotion.

Tears welled up in Chungah’s eyes as she looked at Yeonsoo’s face. She had been oblivious to her friend’s condition and had simply sent her away when she visited the workshop a few days ago. Guilt washed over her, threatening to spill over into tears. Knowing her friend’s feelings, Yeonsoo smiled reassuringly and then shifted her gaze to Junhyuk.77eab6799f260e15

It was an ultimatum that couldn’t be countered. Junhyuk just stared at Yeonsoo, speechless. Kibum couldn’t hide his fascination as he watched his friend’s silence.d05353714df7da27

Yeonsoo’s eyes held a steely strength. She didn’t speak empty words; she seemed like someone who followed through on what she said.
