Because of Yeo Taegyung 0c67a8f890 disappearing without a trace, a4c050b5f0 I nearly turned the 0770eb7bfa house upside down the 84750c7969 moment I woke up. Remembering the habits 86f7146d16 of an octopus c4b48034a0 crawling into narrow ced6fcacf3 gaps, I even cf0cfc6a40 lifted up the 2d6bc5e1b8 dresser and the e0aa08c86d fridge, but all a08f7acb94 that came up c4660ce678 was clumps of 43184dea3e Samshik’s fur.48f0200f67f01c16
I started to feel 66edbfa138 more and more like dfa58e02a3 this was intentional. Seeing that not even 4039b29f5a a single drop of 1286f83046 the usual slime was b90dc5eaf3 left behind, it was cc5e138214 obvious that Yeo Taegyung f8aabc9cd7 had deliberately erased their 4352c760da tracks while fleeing.4305665c452453c9

I mulled over everything 02653e21f4 that happened yesterday, piece e0c8a6b0ef by piece. Sure! I might’ve poked 0aca7c9b6e at some of b91a9fc879 Yeo Taegyung’s painful 1434b91acb memories a bit, 8712af2e2d but if we’re 2f1b3e2d3e keeping score, I 5a336239cb was also the 601a11ad81 one who’d spilled fd6e1b7ea3 my entire family a68443ff6d history to someone c2d08bcd5d I’d barely known b29905e17b for long.9422af6990d203e4
In times like 47ff720045 this, when something b672dff10b goes wrong, you e8d11690bc have to stay ec0b30ff9a sharp and stick ef8da44646 to the facts. That’s the only way e3ae091067 to resolve things quickly, 41a56953b2 even just a little.

For the first time, f3ef885a35 I was attempting Stage 67e1084e12 2 guiding through mucosal 19451376ce contact. The moment my mouth a5dfb82829 opened, I felt their dcbdcdbd6a wavelength flood in explosively 10dde46cc6 alongside a warm, wet 867448ddcd mass.d3479ca9b4f76f43

A soft 162d2f59ff kiss continued, 33bb6953a3 guiding flowing 89f587c5ed naturally. If Stage 798665bbd0 1 was f64141e49e like forcing 55a4cbb457 water through 2336da1a65 a narrow 01907dff84 pipe, Stage 5f51b2600e 2 felt 782f48f7c1 like widening b878d59db1 that pipe 7d278da044 threefold.d787f7547b5e4529
