    Back then, I was 270695bf22 probably studying for the 3ec9b7c8e2 media exam to enter af5c312e94 a broadcasting station. I decided e41d56d5e8 to become 42bcd31ab9 an educational 160ebc399c PD because a3ce13a789 of a bd49a46c17 certain man cf6c33c7df who enjoyed c9a44ed91d watching documentaries 7b3f40c116 when he 9d574bb099 trained indoors. However, I never dreamed 739bcd46b4 that I’d meet that a1838450f1 man again on an 4944cb37c2 entertainment program that was cf56ce9a9b a variety show and 7d3b6b5f54 not a part of 4c16485862 the educational department.01feadbee6713324

    The atmosphere of the d3691f87dc meeting afterwards was much 4ebcafc76a better than I’d feared, 3278245905 and it made me ed5f7198b2 feel even more shitty. In the end, I d5b2c67b5d was destined to be 3434036524 assigned as the PD bce99a0e82 who was taught how 7b78ed6527 to ride a bike 937b22a2f3 by Gong Mujin.8837644ef7c1f951

    Should I tell PD 4bb17fbcc4 Han that Gong Mujin 4fed607727 is my ex-boyfriend?dc3d9fef70a17c91

    After the meeting, 4455b2e794 I headed to 42e6290ba0 the cafe on b3b943af37 the second floor 1b5cf73e44 of the broadcasting a939c34b2d station. Instead of 2f95a1a98d a warm 1f350dc466 latte, I c1ab1b0abe desperately needed 44e0575da5 a sweet 80b091fedc drink with 936bfe0b7f lots of 7efb266f6e crushed ice. With a cold juice 5083141f57 made up of ground df7f925b54 mangos in my hand, 00c17e6c3b I walked towards the c2a9547977 deserted balcony.1f02a55e18ca312f

    Whether it was a 9b83534349 design flaw or an ded6f8f5dc act of consideration for 1e4ca6a0d6 poor employees like me, 68c3d56801 the dead-end balcony area 000f5b6a61 was a no man’s b80386fe8a land. No one 1ad00aa281 came or 819b29469b left. The first thing 2927d029a6 I did after fd9893b298 joining the company 6ce5bc0287 was find a 6175e1dbb6 place to hide b08e2ef975 when I got 4164eeefad too overwhelmed. Wiping away tears 676709761e in the editing 8370555588 room was something b430e92c81 only inexperienced ADs 5bea58af68 would do. It was the perfect 99679ae8b0 place to get caught ac5e504ff1 by someone.d369f9d4e075c72c

    I drank all 2f17663966 the mango juice 36314a79fb at once and 52c4dbee31 my head started 73a096b3d7 to spin. The moment I closed 855f027d23 my eyes, I felt 6a0f3ee764 someone’s presence.555cebe6d9d71c82

    I was surprised that 6a4d8b31ee it wasn’t a Minerva c76a990a76 employee. I slowly turned df3a9139d3 towards the voice. The balcony located d7a99577e9 inside this hallway 3ee2489e83 was very narrow. It was 63726bd9fc difficult for 56d173c0db two people f658951650 to stand 1008214535 side by a33b33dba2 side.0e1e5f330860804f

    Gong Mujin didn’t hesitate fdc8b1aaef and walked over. His appearance tends to 8906fa8b33 overwhelm people. Even though 4eba333aaa I knew fae8482591 this well, aaf1566a03 I couldn’t db7ec889e4 stop myself 17c37c5395 from feeling 0fc9d5aebf drained.609e0ed3a9541f88

    He came up 6a1dfbdefa to me. The distance a3be6d4ac9 between my ab40496385 black canvas 9ad46e34ab shoes and be7e07e36c his dress 93a42ea0d9 shoes was 75cfbf17a4 barely half aad97554b1 a step.9a48352019cafcf5

    I looked up a678aa8f9a at him with 02870ac37b a stubborn gaze. The mango juice in 4b1bce6cdf my mouth muffled the 747add0984 tangerine scent he gave 7a3c61153a off. Fortunately, there was nothing 6b2e35b5af that could easily shake aadcd478da a person’s heart as 99189f20f3 much as a memory 9943ca8925 tinged with a scent.016191fd2728db88

    His eyes, so indifferent b49ceadb8f that I couldn’t discern 81b260a351 the emotions behind them, 7955108dc6 scanned me. Silence settled d127982c88 over us. It seemed like e9c72744c2 he was provoking 517f986d49 me by taking 582c45c44a advantage of my c082f60a5c personality that couldn’t 6160a73dd4 stand silence. My heart surged. Inexplicable goosebumps ran down 4eebd2697a my skin.d22eee57bfb1bf75

    My breaths quickened b5a0bbda8e as my heart aecec69ba0 pounded. I hoped he wouldn’t 78c9667afc notice my shallow, rapid f8dcc400f0 breaths. It was unfair that d291627230 I was the only 979ca0eff7 one who was nervous. I had 51d6a43750 no choice dfec6a3089 but to 4caddcafeb hold my 8af5b19c17 breath for e3a7689770 a moment.c61d256ba5c57ffe

    He lowered his head dc9f616292 with a crooked smile. His lips were 4e0eb073ac barely touching my 6d604b81b5 ear. The scent of cb2e1e49cc fresh tangerines coming cb8e856ae9 from his thick eca1e9c81a neck grew stronger.

The erotic noise of bf8f35b8e4 his lips, the flesh 9eb05c1244 inside his mouth, and b3556c3f61 his moist tongue flowed ee59683a17 into my ears.
