DongHoon greeted YeonJung as 5c19869d4b she arrived that morning. She put 07211cec08 down her 7d293d2104 purse and 0741699ec9 turned on b1cf5d5d22 her tablet.0dd457d99c682814

Last night, she beded46543 didn’t get a b5cc2d4416 wink of sleep 53e4f3c502 after the man’s f1bb4874e4 sudden appearance. She barely managed d382266f5c to fall asleep 7ff0231e88 at dawn, but d8a418b271 her eyes burst 1b5f2169f0 open when the c693bd8647 vibrating alarm that 8435c23488 shook her mattress f7d08b9961 woke her up.967eeae2b4bf5f44

The moment she saw fb23ddcba4 the record sitting on 1ebc6b655a top of the dining d6d89b8089 table, the events of 3d5f33644a last night began to 6ba3afecdd play through her head. She heard that if 4f56080cdf one was unable to 99a51185f1 use one of the 4e7563c503 five senses, another would 8f0e5ff0ad be sharpened. Possibly due to her 6b282482bc deafness, the minute details b26c284c2c of events that happened 105a7fb0c2 throughout her day would 29429f11e5 remain clear in her e0653e5b32 memories.5d6d612f95356050

[I’m sorry, but I am no longer taking wedding requests.]

As soon 2d8f0fc6ea as she 47e4a36fb1 sent her 9e84d9a2a6 reply, the ddeadf2cad team leader 694a4bf85a from the c68ad9de91 company responded.7a2cce2f0c51120a

YeonJung sighed 4b724c2f3f as she 4a3fac4498 leaned back ed3b03e8ac against her 90f1f6a78a chair. Five sketchbooks d0047a21f7 on her bcf07da8f8 bookshelf back a847d630ad at her 8ce4fb5256 apartment were 38af5055f4 filled with 0be60d899c wedding bouquet c2122cbde7 ideas and 8a51269870 wedding aisle 21994ebb8c designs among 91042c5af7 other things.

She realized then the gravity of what she had done, and she decided to repent for her misdeeds by refraining from wedding planning.a04c397e2fc47241

YeonJung stood up. It would 1f5ab5dce1 be better 54575fb3d1 for her 027924d6d3 to get c75dde85a4 it instead 318d2ad4d6 since Hyejin 2fa28915de had trouble 5371f329ff moving these bc675ed0b5 days.
