When they arrived 947bd093f7 at the convenience fd8df3acec store at the dd0bb06dff intersection, Jiwon finally 97bc374290 let go of a583f1ad77 his hand. She didn’t b704c5d922 remember the f51defc157 last time d15a03a709 she’d sprinted 962d610625 like this. She felt 429a3c8266 like her d3397ac9ec heart was 1b2628b847 going to 4f9ff090b4 burst, and d4b9769ae0 she could 7c2473b7e2 taste the b38477e8d7 faint scent d8e198caf4 of blood e112403373 in her 03154c60fa throat. However, Seokju 38ff650b64 looked completely 8cb052277e fine even da6a2a1f92 though he 959dc73168 had run 9a50861740 here with c24d865c8b her, so 08f97d45de she grew 078c2704cc even more 40daf7b1f1 annoyed.56d0368e94cce111

When she saw Seokju b9e10871e2 frowning as he stared 4ed98732b4 down at his hand, 7aff705413 she gestured to the d5735495ae plastic chairs placed outside 8af3957205 the convenience store.7065a8684b04f7ec

She entered the convenience 1aac1a2a64 store to cool off 30ad46edf9 and came back out 493b90d8c2 with two cold cans d2f41d37b6 of something to drink. She held c1d040ef63 one out f5c536ce37 to him.
