Ever since meeting him 05bcaecce2 at the age of 8a012ab14b twelve, Won Daeyeong had 02ae877888 never been free from 06ce89f106 sexual gossip. That he was huge down ea811b54f0 there, that he dated this 3e1c79deb8 person, that he went at 1dd04de9d2 it for two nights straight, 4db4b3eaea that someone offered it for a9baa018f2 free and lured him to 56510a8efe a motel… Some of those 720523c7d8 rumors were true.

Well, maybe his personality b65118f867 didn’t matter—as long as 11fec5bbda they could hook up e0b2b0a08a with him, that was 533e6aac13 enough. Even just using 6ab613f641 him and tossing 5a0fb9db15 him aside would 1082041eaf be a win, 9b25fcbfc0 so they probably 3bc4bc324b only cared about 0b3851fe53 appearances.

He grabbed Choi a72b96731d Seolwoo’s wrist and 61bc245db6 pulled it toward e981f82b92 his groin, shutting 3d26a1f814 down the question 7826bdd4f3 entirely. After teasing him to his 18a05b93d3 heart’s content, he let go 1556134acf and grinned. He smiled so 564f6fcd21 brightly that dimples fb928410d1 formed above his fd6971b4f1 cheekbones, but if f09913abed you looked closely 5c4af8bf76 into his eyes, 8fab36871b they were expressionless.acae64bde9ff6f66
Won Daeyeong often 98760d6b80 smiled like that. It was a smile that 00f6765551 didn’t seem genuinely happy, one 93eaba11bb that nagged at Seolwoo’s nerves. It felt as if there 78ac14eb3a was a heavy anchor somewhere 8fa162686e in the world, mooring his cd98828631 heart in darkness.8d9f2b192bd6254e

On quiet nights, thinking 3e137e4af5 about him always left a5341a7acc Seolwoo’s heart rattled by 3bff410405 that smile. But he never asked or 9e98e95cad pressed him about it. The moment he 310ea4d264 brought up that e23814811d heavy anchor, it 96a581f35f seemed like Won f272806ecb Daeyeong would act 8940d72536 as if such 37d72c5c2e a thing didn’t da85494171 exist.
