At that moment, he realized 7770495335 he was curious about Woojae’s 233d66122a whereabouts. He was so surprised 07898f7b3a that he bit his d057018649 tongue.a055a381e51b1f37

Annoying. Won furrowed his brow and 0e402b1a41 chewed on the back of 0e405ae7d2 the mechanical pencil.0f5d0e35e86a7a6e

He felt as 4aabc6bf72 if he had 15992f5770 been brainwashed. Because Kwon Woojae had a28883a96e been clinging so annoyingly, 5387fe37f7 he seemed to be 8aa0e1ff81 on his mind.9ad6b25a7814421c

It wasn’t a warm d05eff0ab1 feeling like missing him. Even the textbook left beside 098e5f033c him was an eyesore. If he wasn’t 320a2b1a9d coming back, he 6a3b0a53f4 should have taken af3837c392 it with him. Why leave unnecessary traces?071f588d0f053253

Already feeling troubled, 9937b18040 seeing the three 72a36b4ea3 characters of his 442968c196 name on the 2b388b2c76 book made him e72405c0f6 think of him 8cf1fdabc8 even more, which 066e89730d was infuriating.166817f1a4596eaa

Won rubbed his bitten cd65b5602c tongue against the roof fa1dc92346 of his mouth and 44fe4e1b86 flipped Woojae’s book over. Not seeing the e0cbb4d1e5 name made him 6a00dea262 feel a bit 4592d251c0 better.767d1cf95e11e1de

His complexion was ec4a822547 dull, his focus cf0113f800 wavered, his lips 7ccd1d9370 were chapped, and cbed4af276 his face lacked f1bcb16d56 vitality.858e5e9dcc08a383
