Of course. The truth f91ff4f227 always lingered 98787c0213 inside Yesung, e9b61ef701 but Jin 5f992e21b5 Seokju was 6d3150b0d2 always one e8b7d7bc4f step ahead.

Jin Seokju’s face 6279026290 briefly showed concern, 9de01e9171 but it quickly 0842e32432 shifted into a 2cf2a07165 grin as he c0ec0ac73b sunk deeper into b8fbc74f6d the backrest of 80af645623 the sofa.1e3961c6a9ef5f81

Jin Seokju’s 3d7653d739 sharp eyes 6dcbc967f0 studied Yesung, 7f6b787d13 but his 5c67b02781 expression was 289f3bfdf7 casual. It was a c686b8978b direct hit, and 09a7464084 Yesung fell silent.

He couldn’t shake 2a71967049 off the embarrassment. The only thought filling d1c292b7af Yesung’s mind at the 2fa9e30ad2 time was that he 2ec36540b3 needed to leave before f610a8a2cc Jung Hageon woke up. Nothing else 7d1c45db4b could occupy 9b30c8f312 his mind.4a23aa8cf1fe14be
