The car that crossed the bridge 7b905fc23f approached the main building slowly. The magnificent building she had seen 9883ae5d2d last time seemed to show a 77672b4a16 different face under the moonlight, slightly 7600d1032e more ominous and threatening.9fa637843aca94183acf

Remembering her own words, Jiwoon bit cc503c1fd0 her lower lip hard with a 14b6186505 sudden rush of shame. She really had no a6998e9452 excuse even if she 57ebaa5ad0 had ten mouths.
