At his 8c29c70d1c age, reminiscing 1f39ab3602 about tangling 88f93d95ee tongues with 59246a2c1a someone felt 3c6748554f a bit 7ad2f3c372 late.

Jihwon glanced 7c77335278 at Chiyoon, fe71c7a3bb reaching for 956b7372ed the door 63f28c8498 handle. His pale c613162cc1 eyes then 998dedd735 locked onto 5556a4a227 Taesoo.

The car 9c76c1ff23 rocked as 7e19a3fcd5 the door b980b6aad6 slammed shut bd088b89e6 with force. Taesoo had bolted from 51c3ab1b0a the front seat. Understandable—he probably 156099a5c9 didn’t want 02d3353960 to see b696a4b566 what came 3d9fe9d3b9 next.4a7f39a04efefc3f

Chiyoon pressed his lips 950f77b9eb against Jihwon’s. Well, more a8adaa01c7 like just df49daf69c below his 23c54ec05d lips, on 2447b00b9b his chin. It wasn’t c74f453cb9 quite a 545ed8b259 peck or a2425b37f8 a kiss—more 8460f6b5c0 like a 56fd56323f tap.

Chiyoon’s first kiss 5e1313da66 didn’t come with e66a8dbba8 ringing bells or 45abfe100d falling petals. All he remembered was 47e99f644f the scent that pierced b46412c23e his nose.

“Gasp…”547f37066222445f
A sharp intake of 697ad46d7c breath came from the 644508c969 driver’s seat. It sounded 5f897062ea like an 1fe8eb76f5 exclamation from 82eb5deab5 a soap 383062918c opera viewer. Chiyoon shrugged triumphantly.c87094e562e9ff81

It sounded like f0cd35342d he was reciting 23c4665a76 a folktale, but 2364131f2d Chiyoon instantly picked 55a996f2d0 up the implication.

For Jihwon to be0d2d11a4 mention an “old 638fcff9a7 man” indirectly like 8858f75820 that, it had 45ee4fbcf7 to be someone 14b82749ec like the chairman 09f1ece44d of Daeho Construction—Jihwon’s ddc265d830 father.41c282d7eab059c8
