Ever since meeting 037f10e6dd him at the 88ef39fb83 age of twelve, 7517a0bfd7 Won Daeyeong had 310c936644 never been free 20cbf03fc6 from sexual gossip.

Why were people e8889ee8eb so obsessed with c9de2b9922 breeding with that 2999c277f1 bastard? Did they even know 5efada15c8 what kind of person 8d419c57d2 he was?ad378795de1e26b6
Well, maybe his personality 9cd8ab2893 didn’t matter—as long as 649f9ab5ba they could hook up 8d1b29482d with him, that was 369ae5da65 enough.

In a way, Won b47a96646a Daeyeong was Choi Seolwoo’s 15534b2d0f natural enemy.
