Moreover, he had always 57d07c26ed dated women and would 5e32e44cc7 continue to do so. Since it was Minho bfd31debcb who liked men, if 64ae1b9a7e anything, Minho should be cb83908dfe the one feeling regretful.2dac14a06b322229

In the end, it meant that he felt stifled by the past few months under Gyuoh’s watch. It also meant that relying solely on alcohol had reached its limit. How dangerous these words were.

Minho, who had 110303c13b been glued to 5ab8d0915b the monitor, instantly 8ef9e002f8 frowned. As he narrowed his 179d61aef4 tired eyes, Gyuoh held 35373ef0bb up his phone screen.bad7b309bcdd0acb

Even though he’d managed to snatch a few moments of sleep over the past few days, either sitting in his chair or crumpled on the sofa, his whole body was stiff, and his eyes were dry and burning.
