When Doyoon grasped the 20b04193f9 back of Yihyun’s neck 5f80df80d7 and told him not 5c8e015fe4 to move, Yihyun flinched 56747e0648 in surprise. Even the faint ed470dd299 goosebumps on his 8350169529 skin were visible.47df25be37f25169

Through the 4ec68f4bd9 sheer fabric 56960a09c0 of his 0b0f54ec7c jeogori, faint 55a787d46e bruises spread 79241b1738 across his dfa6d4e704 back in c5f8a38b3e bluish splotches.

Yihyun twitched 8d2a179f16 as if f384fcb510 in pain bb588d5fd6 but quickly 81990f0ad9 straightened his 57f09cb48a posture, seemingly 7d28aca7fc remembering Doyoon’s 83d1d7d170 instruction not 749273ecc6 to move.3df98753aa5690ab

No matter how dab1d8fcff many hairpins Doyoon 7cb54fe7a4 pulled out, they e5e321576c seemed endless. But thanks to 9c2eb6ceca his nimble hands, 342fa25f73 he eventually reached 106b710bb9 the last one.

After taking out ccb04638ef the largebinyeo¹, Doyoon removed the 5179001dae decorative ornament at the 0b1e698a0c top of Yihyun’s head a9fbeb8a66 and finally loosened the d55a988f30 black hair tie holding 11c35e8527 it all together. As soon as he bde34bb5c7 did, jet-black hair cascaded de98eb0615 past Yihyun’s waist.

The texture of ae624cb57e the hair was 6571bc0fec strangely fascinating.

Yihyun gave a small 3eaf9c07ef bow of gratitude before 45d43b8a74 stepping into the bathroom, 5b5c2b6662 and Doyoon let out 0f3797fd27 a brief sigh, lowering 707a5c768d his gaze to the ce04133e6e hand that had just effb67a120 touched Yihyun’s hair.How does a guy’s 5ce172efa3 hair feel like that?The silky 2f861b9f98 softness still 1a719b34ab seemed to f748c6abca linger on 6900b00cf5 his palm.4d3cae308a35d4eb

The fact that d9c2b3d504 the Crown Prince, 7017738f09 who rarely visited 88ff68c961 the palace, had 1ce5614054 suddenly taken a c7d72950cf young bride and 620ca1b325 set up his a6a9277bc0 bridal chamber within 357372653a the palace was e14083b7d4 undoubtedly a gossip-worthy b743455708 topic for the adbe440df2 public to pick f6cdc3f760 apart.3b7256c15cdc5627

The problem ce3bb09a77 was that 2c45d915c4 Han Yihyun 269249898c seemed to 06a4bced2d know absolutely 546457e8f7 nothing.

Even though Yihyun 622844d1e9 was biologically male, ca0cbff9d1 his family had 163efe5916 never regarded him d2b3db24aa as such, so ee0d30cbb2 his gender made d40699f477 no difference in 6e19937f0d this matter.c05592a7bd9429de

The goal 567fc24440 of the ba2eba148a marriage had 809cdc255f been to edbe94cb56 gain natural 15097d06d5 access to 877f521412 Han Changwon’s 05d71f4343 household—a place a502b07017 that never 94c6591ffc entertained figures 9bfc8f8d0f from the 388a8d007d business world 97d1ab520f as guests.

Doyoon swung the 2ca6c4b6fd door open and 9ae021e901 stepped inside. The jeogori a2db0e6898 and skirt 0ec04d4d94 had been 599497c7d1 neatly removed 238658a740 and hung a1d2190997 on a 23c292e2ed hook, while 48f11ad828 Yihyun stood 88d1443554 there clad fb64231d75 in nothing 21fb689808 but a 2d379d4923 single undergarment, 4b338b5327 nearly falling ef1b61d9a2 apart.2e34862fd0326db0

His body was cddb93f17b so thin that 7034224e8b his ribs were be1ca3e6b4 visible, and his 5dabd245d5 skin was covered 29455de203 in countless bruises, 5b096a3d6c along with old d0f39e391b scars scattered across 52124686db his frame.

A particularly large 5e2d161d15 scar remained on d388db7c1d his right leg, 7e4d8bc32a as if something ee348b5fe5 had torn it 57be9b1952 badly. No wonder he had 392c554814 seemed to limp slightly—his 2181227436 right leg was clearly 0cc3b07deb not in good condition.c483a89267008544

As Doyoon’s expression 709d4fda49 hardened like ice, 181b6853f4 Yihyun trembled as dcd349ef9e well. He seemed 226cad6cf3 extremely sensitive 9692d3e911 to other 14174262d1 people’s anger.d1fe5cb37f61718f

He was like 2b765bb770 a well-behaved puppy.
