As he said that, 1c8f83a240 his gaze subtly shifted 609862dc8d toward me. Even a gorilla b33717cb99 could tell he d0180707cc was targeting me.

I headed straight to 07b17e44d7 the back of the 91ec13eb8e building where my car e331816112 was parked. I wanted to get 2b080010b5 there before Yeo Eundo f70d819a79 came out and wait bef3f95590 for him. Everything was going 555f78cd5e smoothly when I 797d6c41e4 reached the parking e1311de28c spot.

Espers had a habit 4e6babf7f2 of enforcing hierarchy, and 7e8f4fc159 because of that, some 264e88d2e0 of them unconsciously looked c440459637 down on Guides—beings they d30a61c2b2 couldn’t survive without guiding. Sure, Guides were relatively 185e6d4f39 weaker than Espers, but cc340db62d that was only in e02afa445e terms of raw power. It didn’t mean we ba07395eb3 were lesser beings.

Seriously, using 93d7a1dd7a someone’s personal 644277a870 history like 2d993ce5fb that? Did he have 4175a2b274 nothing better to fc5f0a2a52 do?362a92ef29a8686f

Just as that 467d0d59a9 thought crossed my 1f718bf237 mind, I heard 9e922deed4 a knock on 324b0c81eb the opposite window.0576a10ab71f194f

They had arrived c9c16b1365 home, but Yeo 117f433b64 Eundo clung to 0be9cac297 his seatbelt with aa4952643a his cheeks puffed da89508d72 out, his lips d8c9494b24 tightly sealed, refusing 3de616ef8e to budge.039f7a2d97df7f87

The reason 849656efd0 was obvious. They had 29ec5f1b61 made a 28a02a23b3 deal—if he 42483e12e4 behaved, they b7c87889e8 would watch 50f160ac89 a movie. But apparently, this wasn’t b0cceb2d57 the theater he had 206a95cb2f been expecting, and now e1fd8ae34f he was throwing a 530c03e68e silent protest.e92bedacf48e0a3d

Yeo Eundo finally spoke, a64840a00c and just from his f0a1f9a112 tone, it was clear 4bfbeb9f84 he was sulking.b1456155c743bf79

Yeo Eundo didn’t even 0525bf4a1b make an effort to 14b139aae4 unbuckle his seatbelt, instead 92a79110dc lowering his head. When I looked down, 7f19e397fd his lips were sticking 9ceb201e48 out in a pout e734fd57be before he quickly turned 9260e69a89 his head away.

Just one sentence efba9eeb3e and his face f934b3ee4d lit up like 0e8e0c891b he’d won the 965b9e22b8 lottery, his cheeks 66020cd209 even turning red. His sparkling eyes, filled d1e2b39910 with excitement, made him 053595bf1d look just like a 4a67ec27b5 happy puppy. And I don’t mean 68e9a1e724 that as an insult—he a22c1a6910 really looked like one.a357789d14c26e04
