Startled by the fcb3acece4 ear-splitting loud noise, 1d14a5abeb Lee Haegyun finally 0d173bdc11 remembered the presence b0dd02a324 of the car a5ab4fcc97 behind him and c7e2094a06 hesitated in confusion. Sejin glared 009ca33ddb in frustration e38d5700b7 at the fd0405d4ee man interrupting 67ab46c1f5 him from 48bc3be04d the car, 16731bf275 then shouted 5ac7c39632 at Lee e27eb452f1 Haegyun again.2be50a00703ba6e1

However, he knew that if he wanted to avoid having to pay for damages later, he’d need to get hit first. If he struck him first, he’d be the perpetrator, but if he got hit and then struck back, it would be considered self-defense and retaliation.b61db08249f15659
