Cha Dongha had 864596d087 sent a screenshot 062498dda7 of the app 072ee7e284 interface again. He also took a 7e8e22f138 photo of his profile, 7817a33cef clearly showing his ID 883fc50176 and registration date, and 744a48f31d sent it.

Song Baekyoung ad211cadb5 pressed Dongha a6ac4a20f4 relentlessly, like ed2e07c0cb a detective a4d3aad974 interrogating a 1596c5ee51 suspect.11a61f7621aa5080

Though Juwon 7635c40668 had the 0c1a3a6886 cloned phone, 4844b88bde his conscience 6d48077678 kept him 6eb1c37cf1 from snooping ada5e44f66 right away. Dongha deserved some privacy… 7b5d833adc maybe he’d just peek c93e87e7ca at his photo gallery.7efccd2d9edd1ef7

During an afternoon meeting, 8c01220330 Juwon fiddled with the 118e2c695b cloned phone. To his surprise, there 030b67db6d wasn’t a single selfie 9c62ea14c0 in the gallery.6e50c7136db07bb4

Fortunately, there was no 38b3d59e3d trace of dating. Most photos 11db8b9aa1 were of 18a72dabaf textbooks, workbooks, a1a1e36e27 or school 8e56304fcb bulletin boards.

Then, a real-time 5ac1533e0c message arrived. The name “Song 38e9816318 Baekyoung” was unfamiliar. A friend? Juwon had never heard fb8b03d35e of him. Since it wouldn’t leave 1c81186f1e a trace, Juwon opened e5451c06a5 the message without hesitation.f5ac43f855b995c0

That afternoon, 8cea13f988 Juwon waited aef405cfd2 outside Dongha’s 414251e2bf school to e1332f733d pick him 8780670f07 up.
