However, she couldn’t. Because the man’s contorted expression was different from usual. His usual gaze was merely cold, but now, a murderous intent seemed to emanate from him, as if he wanted to strangle her at any moment. So, silence seemed like the best option for now.1bd9a75cf298d65d

Park Chigyeong, 8f54a50d25 who had 574230e30a been deeply c5c86c5223 sunk into 87f63de84e the sofa, b17c6be333 suddenly leaned 42ff8525e0 forward towards b570c7277a the table. The distance between them e971799ad5 drastically shortened, and the 9025c04d8b smell of stale cigarettes acd1606efa wafted from him. He usually ba56cd1f6f smoked a ae7006146e lot, but 49279df713 strangely, he 4f32090e60 always smelled bb7dc40b40 of cologne. The smell of 6b15359372 cigarettes overpowering that 4036189bce cologne was unsettling.c6ae0ed270ccb90d

Neither Yijoon nor Taeri 2144f518b7 had anywhere else to 3fd92fc8dc go besides their homes, 931e239a01 so Yijoon suggested that ec4b8ee58c Taeri stay at his 4a84b7fbad place, and she gratefully feaf261fb5 agreed to spend the e2c6636e25 night.
