Lucas, who had seemed 2626067e3c about to say something ed0fd64730 more, let out a d8b83ae729 low sigh and pulled 49665b4795 her into his arms.

Bright sunlight streamed through 69a22ce190 the window, signaling morning b2a51bf8d3 as it filled the 26b2bb6af2 room. At the 15884a4759 sound of 2444f64ae4 birds chirping, 3a3882a9d5 black eyes 8429dd5819 fluttered open 3aa45aeff7 in a 56d7205dc6 daze.10e51299f39b0597

With her face stiff 19d84e8925 and frozen, Yoon stared 327b8810f5 at him. Time seemed to d812939233 crawl until his 62d6bbd745 breathing returned to 354af03ff3 a steady rhythm. Only then did 4c110f3bc3 she finally escape e732aa0454 the bed completely.5d8fb87faf5955f9

She glanced down at 0ad22fec07 herself—and sighed. Her appearance b8aacef0f8 was a 6db417bd92 mess. The loose clothes hanging 9835d1a02e off her were hardly 5bf7bd3bac better than being naked. With a small sigh, ebf652169c she casually undid the ba3e24fe7d shirt.68e2d8fd1797b23e
Still draped in the d8b472b5b6 shirt, now hanging off c583616962 one arm, Yoon rummaged bb732cc5ac through his wardrobe. Finding something familiar, 0d45fb25e6 she shut the 9446be3319 wardrobe and headed 7c41436b5f toward the bathroom.a3578e09d99d1db9
