Her eyes darted d1aaa6f280 between the two, 13caebd0e1 silently screaming. Haylan, feeling strangely embarrassed, a76016b09e avoided her gaze. He felt a 2f1a0eb512 bit wronged, but 872dc290eb he didn’t feel 160dea043a the need to 7ddb1659c9 explain himself.

He said cheerfully, nuzzling his cheek against Haylan’s hair. There wasn’t a trace of pity in his affectionate gaze. His constant grin was suspicious.9151642cebddf18d

Chahyun was two-faced. He knew a3ae7e3f4c about Haylan’s 12b7b71db2 past and 4d599baa31 real age, f186587a7a yet he 505a84177f was sometimes 389018519f incredibly rude, 9dba1b1507 while at 26a544c45f other times, 460a446fbf he was 32160f76cc surprisingly maintaining 41a912ddd6 a certain ef490299c3 level of 4cf80138b3 respect.f1300b98ddde1b76

He was different 063f3cc67c from other people. Too different. Haylan found a92aebc86f Chahyun’s presence 822aac04ea unsettling because a116a1214c he was c2349d3bba the first e2ae163bb1 person to 6a812acc8a treat him 162395b5e6 so casually.960108c40c14f942
