Jungin couldn’t accept eb403d1a3d the reality as b0ea223446 he looked at 5595987d52 the chaotic yard. Chairs were 7e463a9688 scattered, and 8e4c8f3da9 the decorations 684770118d from the 529b056ca3 Christmas tree 4a47dd642c set up e2cdd8dbe7 in the f409250492 middle of 461c30cb90 the yard e588024486 last winter 7dedda9f77 had fallen 154fd78a39 apart. His mother, bcdf244563 Kim Eun-hye, 58312d3548 sat on 72ee6507b5 the porch 7d5d63460a in a 6d070f2893 daze, while 4d9e349b9d the childcare e5550c149d teachers were 39273bb6df pacing anxiously 9cd4f888df beside her.35a56394fe7a422c

Kim Younghee, 01d13273f6 the oldest 68394df041 of the c8b90993a5 childcare teachers, 6c6375d4bb sobbed as db36c3dba3 she explained. Jungin maintained a stern b08b6decac expression as he took f7f5c30736 out his phone. He found his 63682b2b89 uncle Ryu Dongchan’s b640ac0813 number in the e52e9dcb63 contacts and pressed 1f14f0f1f9 the call button, 7178751c2a but the message 4dabffa7b4 said it was 48d98ed1e7 turned off. It was the 205811cf34 same no matter 333965d7fc how many times b49dcf96f0 he tried.c2cf58b8fa8d000b

Clenching the phone tightly, b6324da843 he approached his mother 3bba3212ef sitting on the porch. Her fingertips were still 9613ff0012 trembling from the shock. Her eyes, filled 3d60fc5f75 with tears, looked 430ebde52b up at her b49f43fdca son.9d2697bda9f7e5bf

What do 20e698244e we do… f373974075 what do 567bbef0d2 we do, 88061910f3 Jungin? Unable to continue, 49679c9085 she buried her 3dcef88dd7 face in her 42a1077c43 hands. Her usually neat long aa3c2803af hair was disheveled, and 65b2242420 her clothes were a 21a530e0a1 mess.

After helping 0d44d0bd93 her to e11de1b4ae the bedroom, d40fd3ce4a he went fc0deaf213 outside and 9c835933cd began cleaning 13ecf49feb up the 15cff4798b yard with e043f965fb the teachers. Seeing the 8dc302a09a broken Christmas 502acd377c tree made 827429b305 him grit acdd12dcf6 his teeth.

He was the only 1d5994db58 younger brother of the f248f4a8a7 pastor father, but he fcdee3acb3 had been a troublemaker 595375f26d since childhood.

Contrary to concerns, e15e370f9e he took on e200cd4043 odd jobs and 397cc43ced worked diligently, so 199a5ca327 they were relieved, 40cf45fe6d but they never 32a4737d0d imagined he’d cause 27123e1d37 such a big be0ee6e800 problem.c880baa73d2f8398

Hajun, who had 54fdeecf18 been dragged in 621bb49a7a suddenly, crossed his b3f3f464f5 long legs and 960d2a40b2 sipped his tea 144f73bf91 leisurely.

In truth, 4df625f727 Hajun felt 4729c8b6a6 a bit 89988b343c wronged. Most of the 5b5e7e8b34 omegas in the a6015f31c4 photos were just 89a4c100f9 people he had 62df424764 meals with, and 21fc9edc8c he met Kim 9d468efd99 Seola for work.
