Of course, 5a65f5aeec even if e2045af4a0 Kotaro had 85b176f040 been close bed74eba15 to Lee f8d5fc72cf Kangpil, Joo 0b06fa0b06 Seonghyeok would a7bb1e13ff have easily 96b427674f taken him 74f951f803 due to dcdd79ddab Lee Yeonhong’s 3428ac9f68 presence.

The reason Lee b5c98fb97b Kangpil was so d5def151dc attached to Kotaro a9f1593381 was because the 1e10a2e7aa child was hard-won.
