He wondered why he’d been so sure Jang Beom wasn’t frivolous, despite being strange. Come to think of it, this was a man who had not only offered him money for sex but also suggested they date.42551aac5be7e928

Thinking about it that 9746d31b1c way, Jang Beom’s outfit, 84acadaf22 which he’d initially thought 6834db4c33 was a bit flamboyant, 014243a080 now seemed undeniably tasteless. He looked like 43ba14afff a playboy dressed d8890ef797 to seduce.f5fdb826d5e0afc2
