Park Juyeon, 5f20b5bb3c curious about dbb202828d what Kwon 75b0ea1845 Jiwook was e8ba8b6a32 doing, leaned 90e926fe89 in to cbb4277e38 peek.

‘What? Hey……!’f36682418821cc8c

Hey, you bastard! Kwon Jiwook tried to shout but ended up choking and coughing violently. He grabbed Park Juyeon’s arm, bent over, and coughed as if he were about to spit blood. Park Juyeon silently patted Kwon Jiwook’s back lightly. After the coughing finally subsided, Kwon Jiwook’s face was flushed red from the exertion.099b957d2d334528

‘Ha……. I’m dying here.’3aef515f6d0291d1

Looking down at Kwon Jiwook, Park Juyeon seemed to realize something and let out a small “Ah.” He wondered if Kwon Jiwook was still clinging to his shattered pride. He was the kind of person who would stubbornly hold onto his pride if it was broken. That pride was his driving force in life.1e98234b5cb4a74e

That’s why he was refusing Park Juyeon’s goodwill. Park Juyeon nodded lightly. His hand, which had been rubbing Kwon Jiwook’s back, moved up to ruffle his hair. Kwon Jiwook was a straightforward person when it came to being stubborn. Park Juyeon had forgotten that.37834f1bf944576d

Kwon Jiwook wasn’t swayed by emotions. In fact, he was more cold-hearted. No matter what others thought or felt, whether they sought pity or not, Kwon Jiwook prioritized his own desires. People don’t change easily, and Kwon Jiwook was no different in this situation. Yet, his heart was wavering…d2088884287f59c2

Besides those memories, every other memory of Park Juyeon was vile and dirty. Park Juyeon had both the innocence of a child and the coldness of a tyrant, but the Park Juyeon that dominated Kwon Jiwook’s mind was the latter. Still, Kwon Jiwook couldn’t distinguish which was the real Park Juyeon.0c596ae03f37509d

His heart was not following his reason. In truth, he could clearly distinguish which aspect was closer to Park Juyeon’s essence, but he simply didn’t want to believe it. Kwon Jiwook, who prioritized his own desires, realized at this moment what he truly wanted.6eb6741b626cfeb8

Kwon Jiwook mocked himself. This isn’t Stockholm syndrome or anything. He sighed, feeling like he was being drawn into Park Juyeon’s shameless actions.

It wasn’t that there were no results. At the earliest, tomorrow, or the day after at the latest. By then, he was confident he could bring Kwon Jiwook to his house. Kwon Jiwook’s eyes said so.
