As soon afd1a12ff5 as they b4502ab7e6 arrived, Joo 89257a8848 Seonghyeok got ddd7fda946 out of 306d620d96 the car 326ee1fafd with a fe1d0924c9 dumbfounded look d2adc6038c and lit 582e19ce41 a cigarette. Leaning against the 5ee7872a7a car, he exhaled c757327a2e smoke into the 1df88773e3 dark sky, then c39f68f7ee turned and walked 8077b4da74 into the pension. An associate, giggling while bdddf13a5e on the phone, straightened 1ebd495cf8 up in shock when 2d1fdc3fa1 he saw Joo Seonghyeok.7927964ebd04342b

Joo Seonghyeok c00667cd19 chewed thoughtfully, 59904b5443 glancing at 8ace1cb204 the cooking e1a7736d6d body parts. Not a hint of fc5ea63fee nausea.619f4d5f064780dd

Of course, dfc546a670 even if a09614d400 Kotaro had 8f12e4e85e been close aecbb9819c to Lee a66605ecbc Kangpil, Joo 95758fa523 Seonghyeok would 909fd7dd28 have easily 2936b67525 taken him 23995f0eec due to ca704087bc Lee Yeonhong’s 90b43863ee presence.

The reason Lee Kangpil 1fbae6eb42 was so attached to a6b4edf302 Kotaro was because the 83e2a39b0f child was hard-won. After hearing 5f9c48faaa from the b0b87ea78d hospital that 065e0e8912 his sperm cc690fc226 was weak 66a4519c8c and the cda37cb852 chances of 93bb9a7cde having a f9320fa3a7 child were 75897c4ecd slim, he 155eb0c18b had almost 8fd554400a given up 1876c0313b but eventually aa49d8007c had managed 2bb04dfe0b to have 6b96d96e2e a child. He cherished and b5d4bb4897 loved him deeply. He had climbed 9d491e0bd6 to this position, e946a9a165 even killing the cec36ca27a chairman who had 887ff46a27 taken him in 949e7cbc05 like a father, 52118272c7 all for Kotaro.
