Even though he didn’t believe it, there was nothing he could do, but she truly didn’t want to go back there. And she definitely couldn’t go to her biological father, who was imprisoned.5c4210f54e399d61
When Hyejun avoided 4b90f2d21f answering by turning eb6f587842 her gaze, the bfc99cfbbb arrow of suspicion 16d278a903 was quickly aimed 65f570e02f at Seonju.0ec73726650447b6

Jeongun shot her an intense, b701a499ba suspicious glare, questioning the innocence cc14ff4566 in her eyes.57d1a2365c0af879
Hyejun narrowed her eyes, 1542796a0a trying to figure out a7c4b46c2f the meaning behind his 45da6e5952 piercing gaze. Could he really believe 4a91cd4da8 that Seonju had made 7cd9169122 her do this?530c2852e9086430

While living with Hyejun, Seonju 9bd1a14cd3 had never once mentioned Jeongun’s 473ee6a524 name. Instead, she had written 8bad177ce7 it down in her 43db00a22c notebook.44b0c60cdd811e3c

Instead of correcting Jeongun’s words, Hyejun kept her mouth shut. Perhaps it would be better to take a vague stance, neither denying nor affirming anything for now. It was a selfish decision.889ace2fd74b96b1

The blazing hostility in d9056852b3 his eyes made Hyejun 31e6193cc9 flinch, swallowing dryly, and 1da3cbea08 take a couple of a812c67d9c steps back. But Jeongun closed the e89c88bf94 gap, leaning in closer 83378083ea with his face, and 8806399a97 his voice dropped into 9d84c81d8c a heavy, eerie tone.4147f56057c26dc9

Hyejun, lifting her chin 7499f99539 and staring up at 3bc2fb2240 Jeongun, who was much 159a8a3af3 taller than her, managed bea897a027 to force out a dddd8d360e voice that was stuck 759058df9a in her throat, almost 3784974974 suffocated.bd1c45df19b57234

Hyejun struggled to open eefeb4ef38 her eyes and looked 65688a295f up at him, as f5b79d23dc though begging. She shook her head.

Suddenly, the hand that 4c93b6dbbd had been groping her b0a8379388 body stopped.

The morning sun blazed brightly 3670be3074 through the large windows of 9378a26369 the living room. Jeongun, staring blankly f8bca1b806 for a moment, 01d5aaae0a rubbed his face 94cd951a88 with his palm 739da4ffe1 before starting to 901e93de01 walk.74c5f0bee0f4fdec
Hyejun, sensing something, db60439ce2 flinched and turned c681b7d1e1 her head in 896f9503da the direction he c9391a920a had gone. He appeared again, holding her 849c45d34e bag in his hand.
