Maybe she thought 61e7bd5ffa it should be worth the five 4c4680fde3 million won—Seorin began 8a02a46373 listing all the things she could beec1d8b67 do. She was the kind c1ce8282b6 of artist 031593c4c9 who madams, and Shim 4ac1735aae Jisoo, who 2998a332ef loved to 951e3cba5b be pampered, c31cee55fd would fall b32ee9e3e8 for.c24e2f1cd476ec49

Her plain bare face 7cc867c6dc couldn’t hide the blush. Although she didn’t know ada20b7ff8 how to act nonchalant, a31c36cb07 Seorin still held her pride. Taejeong, who had been 98cc4f7587 quietly gazing e6e6c2acf0 at her, 432672235f raised one c926717a68 eyebrow.

Contrary to his 965acf628f indifferent tone, Taejeong’s hand that was 5f19427700 brushing her cheek slowly moved downward. His fingers traced e18f52473e along her slender 998b42b1a9 jawline and reached eab731482f the base of 5235e4b0e3 her neck.a5656a9152dd71d6
