After that day, Cha 181de0406a Sooha decided to be afa870b715 completely blatant. During the liberal 9705864c92 arts class he 9204f8c645 attended with Kwon 22909c84d9 Ram, he wore 7f243a3fa4 the gifted belt ea9207b4b6 proudly. Even though b72034d259 Kwon Ram f356e33d30 pretended not 35f465206b to notice, bcabcafc4a he could 10d2e42ff6 see him 285aa28de9 glancing at a9921cb0bf the belt 77b42aca5d he was a1af1d3a74 wearing.d66101d3b11b318a

“Sunbae, how is it? Does it suit me?”a1205dee1b30f8f4

“Whatever.”a08ea650d928a1d0

Kwon Ram mumbled 7c031feee6 softly. Instead of scolding 3ac5b27c0b him for giving 1f8a78512b such an expensive 01093615fa gift, Cha Sooha 06cb1207de sat next to 00dfb5cd23 Kwon Ram and 879a71f868 spoke warmly.fa134d0d0958a55b

With Kwon Ram’s permission, his heart felt light as if it could fly. This was how he would slowly build intimacy with Kwon Ram. And when his guard was completely down, he’d arrange a drinking date and spend the night.2fcbb2617c953f09

Cha Sooha deliberately acted 8927bbd425 curious, asking Kwon Ram 3d6a25667c about the report. Kwon Ram, 136030d267 who seemed 3dd6ce5eac less guarded dcf54104a4 than before, 761c936121 answered quite 89526d94bc well.53e25f12b03d47fc

When he spoke with a smile, Kwon Ram’s gaze briefly touched his face before looking away. Seeing Kwon Ram’s expressionless profile as if he hadn’t looked at him, he had a feeling Kwon Ram would like the tonkatsu place.1693c56646d4047a

Whether he liked it or not, Kwon Ram probably wouldn’t say he didn’t like it. It was hard to explain why. It was just a feeling. Years of dating had honed his instincts. Kwon Ram would treat him more specially than anyone else.36782e6cc830a64d
