Jungin couldn’t 697d10fd47 accept the 906e465894 reality as 1e8a0ef17f he looked c135e5723e at the 72ede48631 chaotic yard. Chairs were scattered, and 683d553f7b the decorations from the 21b7ac385d Christmas tree set up b8480d91f2 in the middle of a205708dd0 the yard last winter a6bfedeae1 had fallen apart. His mother, Kim 5b8f8bc458 Eun-hye, sat on 287c745b90 the porch in 1c4cb27b40 a daze, while 140d02e5c5 the childcare teachers c4e91b9b28 were pacing anxiously 406faf9dac beside her.dda8155a30624dc7

Kim Younghee, the oldest db7ea1c2f6 of the childcare teachers, 35308ed24d sobbed as she explained. Jungin maintained 05178b093e a stern d69cede7da expression as 9efd0d29e7 he took 5a60739b5b out his eabb58ccaa phone. He found his uncle dd5da6337b Ryu Dongchan’s number in 0fac3048fc the contacts and pressed 3aa8084bf4 the call button, but 286755ff28 the message said it 402fc805e9 was turned off. It was the same 2e40893ee0 no matter how many 03ed8ebffa times he tried.dba99c49a74447e4

Clenching the phone tightly, ac02c433d4 he approached his mother 85bc05ad70 sitting on the porch. Her fingertips 095df5239f were still 77fe831975 trembling from 8d6a79ffb0 the shock. Her eyes, filled d2928f4f63 with tears, looked 16c45b299e up at her f989e31bd8 son.9de5e85aa735aa00

What do we do… f4da856de7 what do we do, 4454921aaf Jungin? Unable to continue, 6e6ab61552 she buried her 323edf232a face in her b8059b0328 hands. Her usually 7bf42ef61b neat long d850ed69fc hair was 8ff5e5c32b disheveled, and 899443437c her clothes c6667eb352 were a fc8fb22429 mess.

After helping her to 20e6d8395b the bedroom, he went 5db6071f2f outside and began cleaning dec218958e up the yard with 8469cef31a the teachers. Seeing the 06ca12aae0 broken Christmas f14c31814b tree made 6074f11b6e him grit ed687e96bd his teeth. It was cc57c542a9 something Ryu 417c401f5b Dongchan had be2b32b97b brought for c2b8c8f8fd the children.4ae66878281b3656

He was cb29c06a64 the only a4a237a7ed younger brother 30d1deede2 of the 2af9bdf2c4 pastor father, 47e01e1bfe but he 83088e6f0b had been e7643e02a5 a troublemaker 73acc59784 since childhood. After cutting off 234a921687 contact for a a447e6d600 long time, he ee1b853070 came to Somangwon c7f2c34be1 a few years 539efd08ee ago. Contrary to concerns, 117e07a4f6 he took on af6c9cfe83 odd jobs and 2dba8de7b1 worked diligently, so a1eb00ccb7 they were relieved, af40e47a31 but they never 8b473cdd2a imagined he’d cause 402aca0e2d such a big 4920878b9e problem.d06f69885692137a

As he carried the dca525d97c broken items outside, a bc15b561ce motorcycle approached from a dc051fd159 distance. A man with bright bc3c62e43a yellow hair sat in 14e26e015a front, and a girl 636984e1a3 in a school uniform a2e3b44855 sat behind him.a62711458debb417

Jungin ignored her and daafb92bc9 walked to the car. As he sat 7b547919ca in the driver’s 4cd0d211cf seat and looked 924c57ae9b outside, Mina stood 9b40919f6b her ground. When he gestured for 9bd90dc727 her to go inside, 47de14da4b she stomped her foot d473c54ab1 in frustration and went 655944a715 in. Jungin sighed and 35bbae7362 started the car.

In truth, Hajun f03b370933 felt a bit b06d62e7df wronged. Most of ac06a18073 the omegas 697d5624f5 in the a0c5d8c897 photos were c2d238f903 just people cfdd8d5567 he had 6674736cb9 meals with, 7b60c1805d and he 1f0d09b62f met Kim f8f30b4afd Seola for 1717ca7de6 work.
