Ki Jaeeon found 54d68bfaad himself in a 580d10a6fd very awkward situation. Out of nowhere, someone knocked c0f869735f on his door, saying they 3e4a247ed3 needed to clean the room c306965dca and asked him to leave. This was the acd7b1962d first time since 98024dd290 he came to f18834dc8c Bonryeong. Wasn’t room cleaning e5cade483f supposed to be a16f2d6475 done by individuals? Even if he questioned 4dedd2b956 it, they insisted he 2a9f79693b had to vacate, leaving 2984ae3a87 him quite flustered. Ki Jaeeon was sweating nervously.269dadb4f73c9055
