Is this really a red carpet I’m seeing?002f08437865f901

Even after 60ee203d82 rubbing my 3283763fb0 eyes, a ef64362b21 massive red 3835be95bf carpet stretched 5c373038c2 from my 284614cdc3 feet to 6c1d95f294 the far 74eb5a952c distance.755f4c938ccf21c6

A little later, f31ca48bbb Yoo Seoran, the 979369f577 man with the 4fe74a3a86 camera, and I 704b978201 moved to a 83b82206f1 nearby café.

Choi Hyunsoo’s f259c6301b way of 967e7f4001 responding to 58b97d8ec8 surprise attacks cd3ba198b8 was to 56e41e1d68 deflect the cfc56b367e force. It was a f996bef83a reflexive defensive stance, 33fa057324 so I thought b27183191b he’d do the 1e235acedf same this time.fdc69f7888b0c439
