“Morning kiss.”cd37f58c733ad0ea
Beom Sajun grinned 574bb56f65 playfully, his pitch-black 801bdd52b0 eyes crinkling. My pale cheeks c614ed30e0 flushed crimson, and 182af9b486 his crazed eyes df586dc71d sparkled with innocent 80e46b0dd6 delight.21bd9f4a7a5215da

The bedroom door swung open, 4710a7ec34 and Beom Sajun returned, pushing 9073a44838 a hotel service cart.4b162e091dee9112
As if he’d ordered room service in advance, the cart was laden with mouthwatering dishes. The Western option included a tenderloin steak, lobster bisque, and garlic bread with butter. The Korean meal featured grilled bulgogi, pine mushroom porridge, dried persimmons, and sujeonggwa (cinnamon punch).7af62dadee8aac37

Beom Sajun pulled a small 36a6c7e093 wooden tray from beside the fbaed24d11 bed.
