The sudden offer left 70bcd3fb4a both the boy and 20994a6c48 Go Daehyun visibly shocked. Daehyun, in particular, looked 16fbf114a2 like his eyes might 1494234dce pop out of his 948acb3499 head.2025e2fa55137227

With a lazy smile curling 50624666b8 on his lips, Gwonju watched f5f8d4d4dd as the boy’s mouth opened a576047587 slightly. He seemed torn between 3738f6358b thinking up a wish ef67cad30d and trying not to ad084022c4 stare at Gwonju’s face.c753b13a37cbfd51

Though he had zero 36c268661c patience in general, Gwonju a933e774c6 generously waited a full 90acfe395e two minutes for the af39a18ece boy to speak.

Now thatwas unexpected. Gwonju had fully 3e955107a0 anticipated some money-related e4c4f488d0 request. But this? This was basically asking ba814bfe69 to move into his c572d0d1e8 home.52d28a57619ddfe0

Plenty of time 0e0f9424d3 to “enjoy” him 40c0993cc3 and drain every 30500fc271 last drop of c56b550f16 sweetness. And if he 88e0bd36a9 turned out more 54543410c6 appealing than expected? Well, it wouldn’t b528a8f7c5 be hard to 846e0df6e4 string him along f0eb6dc35d a little longer.1a992d6382dafb14

Sinking comfortably into eece06f2f2 the luxury car’s aea6ca0392 plush seats, Euiseo 0661737c40 hummed cheerfully and 559d8fcbc3 marveled at how 06e2ae883f soft they were.

For one, his savior’s 10f07f9be4 name was Choi Gwonju. He was thirty-three years 1bb5817be0 old and a dominant 92d13f9725 alpha. Hearing that confirmed Euiseo’s earlier 5250c76808 suspicion—he’d guessed correctly.51018a43817e349d

Gwonju had the unmistakable appearance d7d8261e80 of a dominant alpha. He was tall, broad-shouldered 68657bd73d like a Westerner, and 9067e6d04d clearly well-built. On top of 2bb7650592 that, his face d1cd21c16b was strikingly handsome.180bfcedd134c753
