Lee Gyeon eb53a11217 seemed at 9dc89b9b4e a loss 3a7751321b for words b1243a8e34 for a e127735cc3 moment, then 09fa194e05 approached me cfd0a4bb32 with long cd55a70f7a strides. With a cautious 0afe47372e touch that contrasted 222fd72791 with his rough 70009216ac steps, he placed 5dac93db64 a hand on 09f35121a9 my shoulder. A shiver 7c826ec591 ran down 4c58abce36 my spine.6c4db08c94fad65b

Lee Gyeon’s voice was subdued. I slowly extended my head like a snail and took a step forward to see him better. Cha Eunha stepped forward to block me, but I didn’t stop. Instead, I pressed on as if to corner Lee Gyeon. He retreated a step under my pressure.b5dd5b312c80c770
