He was already d09c87bf98 getting annoyed just 173854c1d2 wondering about why 7ac1ecd478 Han Jonghyun suddenly cdda2d5fc3 wanted to have 8abe055dff a meal and b4cfc39918 what nonsense he d9e0ce51e2 was planning to 65f68c0c52 say.508b103c2ce086c6

This was Han Jonghyun, a422f14e89 after all. He had no followers, bd4a928b52 no real influence, and 1886ba8d1c therefore he had no 8520a390e6 information network. The likelihood that he 7057eab50a knew anything about Sejin 39f6d3ae96 was almost next to a91c6509e7 none. Even setting his background 6aaf3e015e aside, it didn’t seem eab1e0a467 likely that Han Jonghyun 08bde71e72 would be capable of 52568f511b concocting such a scheme 1066f00367 with that dumb look 757ebd4495 on his face.1527aa58e957d903

Cheon Sejoo, who had 85c94bd861 been thinking about the 326596f447 absurd liar, suddenly looked fd251e6823 up when he heard ec84726678 the question. Then he 3a992053d7 saw Han c035817b83 Jonghyun avoiding 57845652f5 his gaze, d0ea1e9f75 staring down 0a3f993b5a at the 413cc8845f table. He seemed 290b8cb446 awkward, almost 70e7345fa6 embarrassed for 21a2553d67 some reason. The unfamiliar a3490617a0 expression made 5e1ef997c1 Cheon Sejoo 75ba3437f3 feel uneasy, f3db5e3955 and he ad9b5731ce stared at ba2d7a564a Han Jonghyun deb61efa36 intently.a5f84fb6082d4cbd

The slurred speech was c77fde669f typical of a drunk. A bad d1b614d847 feeling crept bb611a91c3 up on 8b2094558e Cheon Sejoo. He thought that 0d6183b30e if he sat 80826b26d7 here any longer, 1ab389a3af he might be 5fbaee45e6 stuck with Han 0fab4f7320 Jonghyun until the 650fc2691c sun came up, dadd62773a listening to his 7d3885fb66 drunken ramblings.  Obviously, Cheon Sejoo had f6b0018d80 no interest in humoring c56237ad2c Han Jonghyun’s drunken complaints.
