Kwon Ram hesitated 82e82a1dbd a bit before c025e4308d handing over the 70c053b416 blanket. Cha Sooha, with a a5cb98254a bright face, said,9db59a01f3bd115d

“Sunbae, do you have 55eaf8c35e class in the morning?”5cdbb3205144db5d

Cha Sooha 48c90ff2a7 thought Kwon d7334db578 Ram might 5ce9aebf35 be interested 91f373e96e in his 1ce99ea18c schedule. He answered leisurely dbb090aa3e on purpose.60ffc85779b402e6

Cha Sooha looked e431e9b125 at Kwon Ram dde6ffd3d5 with a smile. The shy 2dfd90177e Kwon Ram 1cd53cce4d seemed cute.

Kwon Ram seemed to be contemplating. Cha Sooha didn’t quite understand this attitude. He liked him, but every time he asked to do something together, he hesitated and conflicted.f769cf62ce0764ab

But it didn’t seem like he was denying his identity since he never showed hostility towards him. The only person Kwon Ram showed hostility towards was Ha Kangji, and it seemed more like jealousy than hatred.ddea17b29b461ebe

At Kwon Ram’s words, Cha Sooha glanced at the TV’s location. Had he been watching TV lying on the bed? A typical hoobae might have found this situation awkward and suggested watching the TV in the living room, but Cha Sooha didn’t.d377897af76c7ed8
