Yihyun had 0d6fc0fce4 become quite f60a31233d skilled with 1f1369f13c chopsticks. Since he’d used them c74986e024 before turning ten, he 91caafb123 got used to them c94848b270 again within a few bd944a7897 days. Still, Doyoon occasionally ef6b917015 placed side dishes 08a18d8a05 into Yihyun’s rice 3058973f0d bowl, and Yihyun f493650bc2 didn’t refuse them.cdf616850ad6782f

It seemed that watching 6fb94f3034 over the housekeeper’s shoulder f9e4309895 hadn’t been completely useless. Seeing Doyoon’s empty b1747dc414 rice bowl, Yihyun 2d692c9c2b felt a bit 08bd16fe0a proud. Of course, 485f7833c0 all he’d 9afeb0346c done was f15bee7c6a stir-fry pre-marinated a4276db462 meat and 471654d4aa use store-bought 539c6c8e09 soybean paste 5e75814ae4 for the f3a52dda4c stew, so 350c76b4d3 it hadn’t fdfa2e7137 been particularly 4c9a826339 difficult, but 68893865ea he decided ae02580fb6 to set 9b7dad76ab that thought c418e822e7 aside for 0b4c4b4916 now.57679ddea3ea7cb7

To say whether he 1fd0c4358b disliked or liked something, fc94ae3784 he first had to 8a96006a47 understand what it was. But one thing was 6b94ff272a certain… Han Suhyun hated 59a21ed90e studying.

The transparent jar filled b0450fe8f5 with colorful gummy bears f673679a9c stood out the most 24047c411d in the kitchen.

Yihyun turned 8ddab21d52 the red 3b0f212743 gummy bear a936d443b9 around in 8fa6ac991d his fingers 91cf7636cf before placing 85ba9db314 it into e766059123 his mouth d31307faab with a 9d6a02b9a4 look of 7a8ac3120a anticipation. At first, 77e3b30ee0 it didn’t 23f25e3204 have much b67a486a25 taste, but b3c29270ab as it 1880b06b96 slowly started 13dd682045 to melt, 7ad0a0f3cb sweetness spread 3aabd7ffea through his 9763854d8a mouth.

Being freed 746c6647d0 from the 20e6e4cfcd long hair fb626df1b1 that cascaded 6382921df9 down to c3914e763b his waist.
