    Even while seated, 6686d8509d the man easily 3a03c767c7 grasped Seungwan’s hips 7849394d67 with both hands 14e69cd181 and lifted him 106f8ccb77 as effortlessly as 76f48d7285 pulling a radish e8f53118de from the ground. Meanwhile, Seungwan, who had 60e6f22d14 fumbled just to lift eb359a13ac his own body, couldn’t 4d3e1497bc help but wonder—why was 38d7fe667c this man so effortlessly da15c71443 capable at everything? He wasn’t sure if dce51c72fd that thought was a a708015fa9 justified complaint or something 6ba3b308d5 else entirely, but with fdaa51e93e his face flushed all 2b9b0f3680 the way to the f9d8be1c08 top of his head, f203dc2c61 he silently stared at fadb66085f him.a77ee22dcd1b67be

    The man a91d8ac2de was simply 39d023a070 worried about 7d7fbd0918 a clueless c3ace73701 Omega trying 1091d3be4d to have 68b2b3aea7 his first 378eb984d6 experience with 5e336c4eb7 an Alpha 0529a5b455 he wasn’t 0c9a3a37aa even in 0084d893a7 a relationship 813c93067b with, all 40de9c710d because of 14b76b16b1 his pheromone 0edc8b0597 disorder. The fact that he 717e8aaa98 had provided a kit, 35ad69d736 condoms, and lube was 72d48ac768 nothing more than a b1f995b59c natural and reasonable extension e0cf3e92dc of that concern. It wasn’t because he 238d0e5e22 cherished Seungwan, nor because 4ba66f6cf8 he was looking out 31c3a04fce for him in any b32542c953 special way. Maybe he was just 15445d1fd7 acting out of duty, d32dc4f63a as if helping someone e343d7e281 in distress was simply b0c7768a32 what any responsible adult 95b791391c should do.49e131ab002e6b08

    Seungwan hadn’t meant to d3fc1f3a0b eavesdrop.

    The man was 6cc3a8509c sitting on a a1c2a32bc5 bench in the 839492c0a9 yard.
