A sense of déjà vu that couldn’t be explained washed over him. Won unwrapped the crinkling chocolate in his hand once more.df75ef8be4250543

Two chocolates filled his view. Even during lectures, the d846dd58ae sweet taste that Woojae ef3678d232 had unwrapped and put e7b46e6863 in his mouth was bd101daaf5 a flavor his tongue 4a20c6d7fb remembered without needing to 81c6ad1817 recall the past.7d17fe600fd6d6b2

He wasn’t just dazed, lost in old memories. Strangely, he got goosebumps. It was a chocolate anyone might have tried at least once as a child, even if they didn’t like sweets, but for some reason, it gave him chills.ae65a9fed3b3197c

Won was sure he had 4cb69ad0a6 never met Kwon Woojae as eeb681e1ff a child. He had just learned that 71c74fcaf7 Kwon had a child, and a53cc20c8a he had never spoken of 633c20310c it in such a way.931aef6b0238ab6c

The one who watched over Won as a child was an adult, so it didn’t make sense that Woojae had been watching him since then.ca1479770edb8924

His lips, which 824e2c7142 had formed a e956dc727e gentle arc, stiffened 448331fc8f slightly. His expression must have b4eb041fd1 turned awkward. Won closed the 7bd539da5a open cabinet to 213a7ba611 delay his response.3644e1816ac4bbae

With a cigarette 27ab403048 in one hand 2823527dd4 and a phone 50c9429f17 in the other, 4bdb043e88 he headed to d6dc7b9e04 the smoking booth.
