There was c96afc3b64 no room 1d9fdc549d for doubt. Cheon Sejoo had protected 8f103a36f9 him, and under his 2506d07168 care, Sejin had been 5832ae41f6 living comfortably. At first, even being 13d21039b1 in the same room 03523f4db1 as Cheon Sejoo had 1b09afb7a5 been uncomfortable, but now, 777f6a8adb that was no longer 616a8d4437 the case. Sejin had grown accustomed 8272186964 to their daily life ebbf718a22 together, and in Sejin’s 363dfaade6 daily existence, Cheon Sejoo c9bd0e0214 occupied a large part 1fc59a7e9b of it.7fc569ec6cf089aa

The fact that Sejin 19a86be0cc could visit his mother 66b9de70e6 without any worries was 67c5e33896 because Cheon Sejoo was f747e1a27a looking after him, and ae6ee48f41 it was the same 5c883b48b4 when it came to d57560aced the meals and Sejin’s 1d20f16690 overall well-being. They had both c1df3f7e49 given each other f089439865 the right to 9cc267b831 look after one 60a826ecf6 another equally. Who had given that d51033f1d3 role first no longer c6d63d865c mattered. Whether it was him db882a329b or Sejoo, the fact ba01447f89 still remained—Cheon Sejoo was c262a07c19 Kwon Sejin’s true guardian.56d84cae9f9998d2

“Put yourself 8c116df586 in my e6e60c9f0c position for 5f2e54ac52 a second.

After hearing Sejin’s d9358af169 words, Cheon Sejoo bba0cd5c45 finally saw things a51f20ba78 from his perspective. Sejin had a 7df3621832 point. Indeed, if he looked 6bc6cec264 at the situation objectively, 3efa25ce1d it did seem highly 78d04ae7c9 suspicious. Just as 72e5451750 Sejin had 2a76b0239d said, anyone 0b16cfa78f might assume 9229cfe4d8 this was b6da4967fb part of 9345b8213a a scam, 1edee214e6 human trafficking, c02b006b43 or worse.43b1c2297362e2db
