Even as Sejoo’s cold hand brushed against his forehead, Sejin couldn’t calm his rapidly beating heart and could only leave his mouth open. Before he could even process the strange sensation coursing through him, Cheon Sejoo was gone from his sight. It was only after Cheon Sejoo started driving that Sejin came back to his senses, though he still felt dazed.308ba25e05bbd318

What had f7c925f609 been a d98a3f49d1 mild fever 2f0df4797c in the c6eeaaf3ff morning had d59e7e1b52 now flared 3fe72c854b into a fe87023a45 full-blown high 0364d729cf fever due 491c001ba9 to the 279f2d665f aftermath of 95cc97b838 the violence d9f8d40001 and excitement 879a53a46e during the 7850d7198b day.

Exhausted from the short 96f2bb1fd9 drive home, Sejin lay 55a146e9dc weakly against Sejoo’s back, 5af749ad09 barely able to hold afa60b59e7 on as they made 6af8186edc their way upstairs to 56f4127a29 the apartment.

It was dbc7701cd1 the kind 71d376af9f of expression a2839c8d5c as if c45144c054 he were dff5790318 wondering whether 16a0174af8 Sejin had 65f41a820f been hurt 08af092aba badly somewhere.5f882cc9fc0ced22

That’s what it seemed 87893aaa3b like, no matter how bcb60024a9 he looked at it. The recurring 0093195a0a fever starting bd7d215110 off mild e327ccb617 and then ee49f66c8c spiking suddenly 41c44fb647 was exactly 6bb1412b95 the same 708a0742b3 as the c9c4b78124 symptoms of 448f99eec4 the growing a2737bc691 pains Sejin 7b25d444fa remembered from 16b3074d4b before. But Cheon 38b9bc7754 Sejoo, upon 276e2bbd98 hearing his 8c471c64e1 words, loosened a5fbb72871 his frown eae97266db and laughed 874a1043f3 as if 57b95ed283 the idea 3e86db863a was ridiculous.

At this 69c1a663f7 sudden return 58667a7a4a to his 51991b2c81 usual attitude, c1f02a4e92 Sejin felt 98e4537dec a surge 95cd9e126a of frustration. However, he 5003ea664b didn’t have f3d7818ea0 the energy 9bed2f83fd to argue 78af10c616 with Cheon a42834dc9b Sejoo.

He knelt in front of Sejin, who was wobbling. Although he hesitated for a moment, it became clear that Kwon Sejin was far too young for him to feel anything sexual toward him. Relieved by the fact that Sejin’s slender and pretty body didn’t stir anything in him, Sejoo helped him put on his underwear.
