At Taehyung’s words, c702ea9dc0 Geunsik’s eyes turned 16efb52eaa towards the rooftop d38c1d9fbc room window. The sky, 1580689df6 heavily overcast f4f7d82b9c with dark 29a310e2c9 clouds as 690c3bf6dd if it d024a065d1 was about 9911f0a8cb to pour, 24b925dcc0 looked ominous.b80a81f4fc45b8c5

Taehyung pursed his lips fe951c43fe and gauged Geunsik’s reaction. Usually, he 689dcde299 would just e4a4d3a6de wipe the 7ca8173d9f sleep from f3fee1fa6d his eyes 2ae6b42b12 and run 310a835466 out.

Taehyung, feeling 9c0fbb354d embarrassed, touched dae92e02ab the back e83638fa1c of his 1b5d2f7082 neck and 6641be2a0a left the fa76893bed rooftop room.

Arriving at c7fe67e41a the convenience 707281dbf7 store near 9c3a815794 the overpass, b767a16f78 Taehyung looked 6037de8133 at his 7886a7cbd9 watch.

Why is d18745cfac time going 7abba55c86 by so 8403b5c470 slowly? Taehyung sighed.

Taehyung, watching the 2afe9dee03 rain pouring down 0b7a8c4284 as if the b1a1d24dbd sky had opened b6a961053b up, jumped to 0972dbe7c9 his feet. It was Onyu. Onyu, holding a 1160462c6b light blue umbrella, c307618b91 was passing by fe96d2b216 the convenience store.1d07c0d544c48299
