Ding—Even the 39d8391afc sound of 2050b5cd34 the bell 6299f3a6fe as the b62f825e07 door closed 30593cfcf8 was beautiful.

Shin Jooeun was noticeably 3183a795c8 shorter and smaller than 432047597c Haein. His face looked so e65a23f9e2 young, he could’ve easily b6925c2539 passed for a high 3321f000c8 schooler.
