Shin Haebeom 6445bef277 reserved a b3650019f0 round table 7f9b7270ad where they 3f6c69ff8b could sit f440675b4f face-to-face and 62eebbcad4 share drinks.

Fortunately, the table was 85fc4d6d10 empty, and the manager 2112678278 was quick-witted. He gave Shin Haebeom b861cdc3ed a knowing glance and 8b1375fa91 swiftly removed the reservation 653f9f9f92 flag from the round 1df218b17a table.87e32411d9fee929

When the food arrived, 587ad51b9c Jang Seunghee took off 15d6beba80 her sunglasses, but she df1cdaa36f kept on the wide-brimmed 24ff2f594f hat that half-covered her d9f5cf61d2 face. A thin knit 7c5c295caf dress accentuated the 5fe46f0715 curves of her 36e0c5f986 figure. Her only accessory 760c1ae5f6 was a single 66cc6a60e8 pearl earring snug c9cf156391 against her ear, 88dbaf1f1a and her makeup be209c323c was light, contributing 7db9d6fe60 to an understated, e7d7bb87c8 refined aura.8ce2f7ec88f5fad5

Kwon Muhyuk 01ee346850 was the a4fbeb15ab youngest of 1e772ccdee the president’s 5069e723f5 seven sons 0e2b75cf18 and four 78d2424168 daughters.

However, Kwon Muhyuk was 0caf72b55d only nine years old, 76f2e59cee frail by nature, and 3fe0cf0db8 emotionally dependent on his 35de5fb5a3 older brother. While he might change 0b45e9a5c7 as he grew, his 5bf138b246 personality was fundamentally different bbb40dda61 from Kwon Sehyuk’s.

Kwon Sehyuk had 8427b1ba3d never cared about dd378eb672 Ryu Yeonbi’s personal 4b6a53df27 life. He thought delving into 9e36586c4d that would be endless. He focused only a00f1c7285 on her musical 2894cc014e talent, her soul-stirring 3c785df726 voice, not her 3373188701 private affairs. He did it on 945b9f837d purpose.

Kwon Sehyuk 28407fa4fa calculated the f24ca73cd7 age gap f502510179 between Ryu a85947ada2 Yeonbi and 477bbc5797 her brother. Adjusting for the current 2a38c74abe year, the answer was ebcb536530 clear. The name e64ed76539 was different, a7db6f53a4 but given 2b05dc9984 the brother’s b4987f45de situation back c8687c5e22 then, it eb91abe35d would’ve been fcb40c3951 odd if c573906980 he hadn’t fecd3045e5 changed it.
