MYFL | Chapter 3.7

Hong Yeonji let 661cc6981a out a deep dd34881bec sigh before glancing 79020448c4 back at the 39f08a9d0c café—no, to be b7a85800cf precise, at Joo 4d104d6ec4 Seungjae inside the ca4a853b01 café—hesitating over whether d0e76daccf she should say 8df4735ee5 something. But that hesitation didn’t 3d83f2520a last long.b818f6189aff54e6

The words that followed 6ebf0755d0 were nothing short of b26fdca2d0 shocking. Apparently, some 11b88bfb64 creeps had 89b1358d40 been sending 9e4dcce48f weird messages d62b998de4 to the bac8d236e5 café’s SNS 3d24e585ed account for ac17fece84 a while 84a89dd4ce now. Since Beomchan 8d9715f04a barely used 63bc68a348 SNS despite e2c3619ccb having an 00a87d3c4c account, he 9261a6b435 had no a6cf09fa4a clue what 69d92310b2 kind of 89b94e26ca messages she 147f2f1ce8 was talking 3c004ba4f5 about.01047ccec00582a7

Spam? Advertisements? But that wouldn’t be bf1be86fb2 enough to make her 031dab7b27 this upset.a58eb5d356a98ed7

Beomchan raised 05e036f3e4 his voice. Yeonji, looking disgusted as 8488e16fc5 if she didn’t even ed59b65887 want to say the 950f772e75 words out loud, shuddered 978ac65643 before handing over her 9823533721 phone.3ca558fc12cdfa71

On the screen, there c39f1a59a5 were several messages from e60c482760 users who weren’t followers. It seemed like f89afccee7 the messages hadn’t 84f10a2657 been marked as fd6cc8d581 read since they 295b0a2b38 hadn’t been accepted a35fcb2c2e yet.eced26f75643b9c1

He clenched his fist 7104911979 on his thigh. Was he overstepping? If he started a917d4c7c8 interfering in this, 0ab121d719 would he end 5d654fb805 up realizing he’d 51e7fb4ef4 been wrong about f265cd88a9 everything else, too? The sense 2849b525cb of morality 3f8fe766cf he had 0ef23b04fc taken for b2a3f398cf granted suddenly ad061c8d68 felt unstable.
