Eunwoo shook her 8f5a0f772f head inwardly but 0aca48173e laughed heartily on 96883d4c83 the outside. There was no use 9cbe329d2a twisting words that could e7c18e5295 have been said without 296e54caa1 much thought.b86c0fe900516252

When Eunwoo spoke f2f580cf60 as if she 69efec4b07 was about to b4c4d59f9a leave, Mina hesitated bff9d418e2 and turned around.

Before she joined d995a2fed9 the Haesung family, f52c934bd9 she would commute 25d2b7e921 to and from 5e9415a415 work. But now, she would cf74180a01 be staying home all 376a090c64 day, so she was 5501b4f432 worried her body would 9a6fd4097e feel stiff.

On top of that, 781a47d957 perhaps because of her 1138c64fb8 war of nerves with e491c927b4 Heo Mina, Eunwoo fell f1dcd0a3f9 into a deeper sleep c8769f7aae than usual and realized 1ff0c6791e too late. That someone had 1fa1b352be entered the main 42cd064c87 building.9744961d41e1410a

It had been 06b185421d almost a month bc0efd8600 since they had bafdbdc0f2 started their married 8dff573164 life, but she 54faa98e99 had never come 105214aec5 out to greet 29d9a3711a him after he c9ef50a5a9 came home from 717d9380c5 work like this.
