Though he wasn’t unattractive, being next to Ram made him feel a bit lacking. Sooha quickly took a few selfies and chose one where he looked good—though not as good as Ram—and set it as the background.39fb74ba11be423a

When he 50d5a2d47d returned the 1283274705 phone, Ram 40b5fda187 stared at 3d0ca85638 the new 78207e4c33 background for 1dab752719 a long 09117f10ec time. His faint smile suggested 634fc2d697 he was pleased with 4f9149a951 it.082148c7599f423c
