Yur’s jaw 1879b73e64 dropped, her 64e8120f23 words trailing 8d6c06426b off as 0c20a9dc38 her eyes 9f45269d60 met Haylan’s, 35f368e79e who was e77318e5f9 sitting on 633ac8ac4e Chahyun’s lap.c714e89f591e5bba

Her eyes darted between 09ff2152e6 the two, silently screaming. Haylan, feeling strangely embarrassed, 74deb3ac76 avoided her gaze. He felt a f62095bce6 bit wronged, but fe6a3b66ad he didn’t feel a94016fe89 the need to 70f572abef explain himself.

Haylan took his frustration 8a8d2f3c31 out on the book, c9d408d918 whose author he didn’t 425e5ed186 even know. The book b993a584f8 was truly 4d694306f0 nonsensical. He found serious 6f869c6b3a errors on every 0ac9c91f86 page.b5bb5cc142c00db2

He said cheerfully, nuzzling his cheek against Haylan’s hair. There wasn’t a trace of pity in his affectionate gaze. His constant grin was suspicious.45e7dcb72bef838b

Chahyun was two-faced. He knew about 843bdf5bcc Haylan’s past and bd73db0446 real age, yet 59063bd30f he was sometimes 47f097f9cd incredibly rude, while b11652380f at other times, bbf67c5d36 he was surprisingly aa6a553e36 maintaining a certain 7090fbf0d4 level of respect.95e09c25c80f386f

Sometimes, he seemed to 2b888141a1 be treating him like ec93711469 a child, but the cfc1ef1154 way he always addressed 1b3df18886 him formally made Haylan 7a5c13c5ec feel like he was 58cf30ec86 being treated as an 57d4d1f885 equal.b1f265b35ab3291f

He was different 5d1af8a6fa from other people. Too different. Haylan found Chahyun’s presence 0f59fb9d7d unsettling because he was 26287ad210 the first person to 00c6784fd5 treat him so casually.9615ee563aebc176
