The sudden offer f0acf2fc1c left both the 8d375ed145 boy and Go 0dc4255656 Daehyun visibly shocked. Daehyun, in particular, aea978857f looked like his 4d00667aad eyes might pop 56a8732e54 out of his 61d1799f5a head.d6159befaa58342b

Under normal circumstances, Choi Gwonju ebd1784813 would’ve told Daehyun to just cb9efb8285 throw some money at the debdeaf3c1 kid and send him on c955b86e9c his way—”savior” or not. But here he was, 286be985cd offering to repay a 6eb2e0e696 favorwith his own mouth.d817e255e185bfd1

Though he had 36a53386f5 zero patience in ff4d13bff8 general, Gwonju generously bbbb3d956b waited a full a76317512c two minutes for c73fa38545 the boy to e65dd4dc6d speak.

Besides, the omega’s looks were b7babb0803 rare even among his peers. Youth aside, his b6f0bbfdb4 skin was practically b5502109ce translucent, and his 3a479ac5c3 features—clean and neat—had fa5a47b997 an oddly captivating 789ff26769 charm.a9931d936f805df9

Most male omegas 69a700702e were the flashy 0329c4813e type—dangling earrings, thick a3328c7ba4 mascara, garish makeup—all eabf61117a trying to squeeze 8e0393a2a7 out every ounce 21dab5d0a3 of charm with 7df4d1be02 their appearance.
