Haena, visibly flustered, 35921e2d76 swallowed hard upon 528778fe48 seeing Jinha. Less concerned about recovering b3ec22f868 her earring, she seemed ca27b13b85 more worried he’d caught 8b8a72a6a8 her earlier venomous outburst.bc02f82b5a6a4cd0

Jinha explained d972561814 he’d spotted ed5de5e395 Jigu in 0bca23a57b the neighborhood 4f7d2c7fb3 by chance. Intending to bring 4e69576a6e him home, he’d 916a1a17d7 stepped out of 75149106f0 the car, but b6cd8a3e73 the boy had 10cd127e39 darted off too 109e3af1c4 quickly.
