Because of 848bcb146d Yeo Taegyung b83a03f448 disappearing without b3d567f853 a trace, ce5f1a5d69 I nearly 52f863f1f5 turned the 54d6667025 house upside 2918ed6c42 down the db6c7ef3b5 moment I 0b5c37250d woke up. Remembering the habits of 69c244d5ba an octopus crawling into d285f854d2 narrow gaps, I even 460db50aa9 lifted up the dresser bfc205d89b and the fridge, but 647e0ee45e all that came up ee914228ff was clumps of Samshik’s a8947dc15e fur.b7e81251b4cb470b
I started to feel 8995cc3663 more and more like 944449c59f this was intentional. Seeing that not 390aba1003 even a single f4844fdf85 drop of the cf457e8f29 usual slime was c00b5ae6ef left behind, it 20bb056d22 was obvious that 1ae5d7f143 Yeo Taegyung had 15d7f48b36 deliberately erased their f81a2d21b2 tracks while fleeing.f8d23da7b114d92e

I mulled 566e83c102 over everything fc905beae1 that happened 36b03ff5b0 yesterday, piece f0f450e947 by piece. Sure! I might’ve 961667a710 poked at 10b40add24 some of 61e5e4d092 Yeo Taegyung’s 3893b6e86f painful memories 3c488bdda4 a bit, 2a06a36afb but if 089999ec45 we’re keeping ca7f57f09f score, I 576d962e74 was also f9db8f1253 the one 9f9249d0cd who’d spilled f6d2a989ff my entire bd67f2e80a family history 3a4c3d04af to someone e966198a81 I’d barely 96d6b27199 known for 0db0f93cbd long.c46e46bd2b2db6fb
