There was no room c536efe0ee for doubt. Cheon Sejoo decef83f1d had protected 7d7062c6bb him, and f1e98df3cd under his b6b8eed6ff care, Sejin dfc086456a had been b823e8d455 living comfortably. At first, even e1346a7148 being in the 7ad353db7d same room as 614dddebc8 Cheon Sejoo had e861914266 been uncomfortable, but 819ff4ac81 now, that was 759210f12b no longer the 25a8ee3157 case. Sejin had dd4f51bd46 grown accustomed 6da106c5eb to their 617a5cd350 daily life c55c314727 together, and b43c6b7aa5 in Sejin’s 11ff5befc1 daily existence, 18d1220d98 Cheon Sejoo 31ff7353b3 occupied a e499cf2210 large part 7b9911d514 of it.ea295b0ac288bae3

The fact that a3f2e358d4 Sejin could visit 4791f7fa07 his mother without 75095571dc any worries was bdad00640e because Cheon Sejoo 658c82e3cb was looking after 0318b6740c him, and it c040cd2fe5 was the same dab2af7cfc when it came c704611ca4 to the meals b35a52e82a and Sejin’s overall bfc43881c7 well-being.
