Ki Jaeeon found 479cbe9b38 himself in a b51cb80a54 very awkward situation. Out of nowhere, someone knocked on his 4e21e608f5 door, saying they needed to clean the b3a60ca990 room and asked him to leave. This was the first time a9f5a08381 since he came to Bonryeong. Wasn’t room cleaning 146534ce4a supposed to be 744679bf3f done by individuals? Even if he questioned it, they insisted he 79083453a9 had to vacate, leaving him quite flustered.

The aunt spoke 56ffb3574f awkwardly, like reading 774833953e from a textbook. But Ki Jaeeon, not 5d45fbcf3e sensing anything strange, was df13049831 busy trying to refuse.ecde08070398dbc8
