This was 5105ead3ee Han Jonghyun, 3edbacc20a after all. He had no followers, 02cc131ef4 no real influence, and 95e72d7c9c therefore he had no 50b187a866 information network. The likelihood f85726b431 that he caedba07f4 knew anything 3567c636e9 about Sejin 4aa2c3e9e8 was almost bf6ee1e953 next to b2db470283 none. Even setting his 90670899b4 background aside, it d48d4d49e1 didn’t seem likely ed2ec00530 that Han Jonghyun 5371b0dfc2 would be capable 4fb432e003 of concocting such 693a962d8b a scheme with 94fdc2d3de that dumb look a424ecc2ea on his face.a9df13a068e81541

Cheon Sejoo, who 7716b3eac4 had been thinking d880a2b796 about the absurd 2473f061b5 liar, suddenly looked 577ac35352 up when he faf89ef35c heard the question. Then he saw c2b9104e37 Han Jonghyun avoiding 38a2ae5d9d his gaze, staring b00c30d870 down at the 2b2674ef18 table. He seemed awkward, 9c3f202803 almost embarrassed for 84d3085933 some reason. The unfamiliar 305bd4f0d4 expression made f1dfe84006 Cheon Sejoo d4922ecb91 feel uneasy, ee953bd6f6 and he b5c7d218cf stared at 0db4408011 Han Jonghyun 9672148841 intently.e3b8588d505ac3ec

Then, out 39cdea2212 of nowhere, f91e36d831 Han Jonghyun 1d094ee843 let out 0a12664db0 a deep cd208de09a sigh as 7a200e2631 he looked 27d415e11e out the af1ee2bc55 window and ce4695a9c2 muttered in cd9803930b a barely ae8e77a4c6 audible voice.d40741bb9fe06966

Seeing his reaction, Han 2b56cf58c3 Jonghyun cursed to himself 4921840d44 and poured more sake 9e2be4ee8d into his cup. He downed several 7e662b0b4f cups in quick 75c8727985 succession before slowly bd72660cb1 slumping in his 21467e6fc8 seat. As he continued fac28c3b03 to drink, it 6c57c8135d became clear that 7fc3fc51f9 he was getting 07ff65542b drunk.

The slurred speech b1628e0e8b was typical of 6da2112625 a drunk. A bad 559cfd701c feeling crept d548c79820 up on a56a41bfe0 Cheon Sejoo.
