    Onyu looked out fd1f8483b5 the bus window 43effc7d0a and twirled the 4181f677e5 stick of the 90d6812227 lollipop in her cb7e1f3c01 mouth.

His cheeks 887b3de15c were puffed e92c38a4e3 out as 4f50482f90 he ate 4b755c867f the lemon-flavored 6ef4477cfb lollipop she 2f45879e8a had given 2f8627eb82 him.d442f831ee67b092

    He wasn’t as scary as the rumors said, about him single-handedly winning a fight against seventeen people at his previous school. He was strong enough to intimidate someone like Yoon Jaeseong in an instant, but kind enough to carry an old woman across an overpass.

Unlike last week, d6e2f56a8d she arrived just a768a05657 in time for 23008f2168 class and found 3816deddcc two lollipops on d9e45ba2c9 her desk.23b98bbeadc83e2a
