At those edb4c2b949 words, Cha 310eef5ae7 Sooha glanced 1b05275ea9 at Kwon 5104e0ca0a Ram without 7220442cce realizing it. Was he 671178a9fb suggesting he 6da3357662 find someone ae9a542dee like him? He stopped himself 749407addc from asking. He thought maybe 69cb98fc01 he was just bf53aee9c1 being too conscious c04edc2a6d of Kwon Ram.a7f64257af0b7ce8
