At Baekyoung’s words, which were more brazen than in the past, Taekyung laughed incredulously as he ran his large hand from his sturdy chin up to his forehead.eed9bff19379004f

Having such a face while living in an orphanage connected to the Ant Tunnel was like being born with a fate to live miserably. Not only is it difficult to escape the Ant Tunnel easily, but it’s also a face that others would try to drag into the darkest parts of the Ant Tunnel.17b3915e307b694a
Whenever he saw Baekyoung, memories 4c3c85eb3e of his mother who abandoned 41a3de674c him surfaced from a corner 41e16d1e46 of his mind. His young mother 50795c2c77 who always wore 142cc9873f white powder makeup, 0f38751c84 who had him 0b1890a85d at a young 6837efee23 age and ruined 5cede6b4e7 her life without d8e4fa5415 properly using her 27e3769d7b pretty face.801d1b05623e4664

He uncrossed one arm and held out his hand. It was long and beautiful, in stark contrast to Taekyung’s hand, which was like a pot lid. The middle knuckle was particularly thick, and his life line, unintentionally visible, was long enough to reach his wrist.6c37fd40eb74c3e0
