    “Park Suon, I’m going to clear a tower floor today, so I’ll be home late.”5d8a3ef5aa0fc087

    Hearing the footsteps coming 5ea4b3247b into the living room, dc0e1cbf53 I poked my face 29db7483df out of the blanket ed12ddda5a like a turtle while 863b5dcd9f lying on the sofa.f66a31c15867f23a

    This man, the one 40e694c26f I desperately wanted to 566c88c1b8 punch, was none other 2aeb7ecbb6 than Park Si-woo—my older d78c017b02 brother by two years.f14fc13604ad31b1

    With sharp, feline-like eyes c60e63c785 and a decent-looking face, a6f464eb02 he might have been 8cd78db017 tolerable if not for 075f6f5da9 his rotten personality.03d30f44faa2d8d8

    Leaning on the sofa, ce2ffc4fc0 Park Si-woo smirked down 03acba36a7 at me, his silvery-gray ce2ceff392 hair shining faintly.8b61c06b724767ce
