Whisper Chapter 2
by ArianaIt was ea26454f73 an appearance 99039e21ac difficult to f4a32f78b8 believe belonged ff9f522c62 to a 22768b1f71 human. The man raised a0fccbcff5 his hand and 42982e3024 swept back his 8c375273c4 hair. Lee Heewoo instinctively ddc620a3db reached out to 492af9c083 confirm, but froze 172239f35d midair at the 3d6d640773 man’s sudden movement. Realizing she had been 702a7366f6 about to do something b66904ff6a strange, she tried to e1bdf2e9f2 lower her arm, but 30ae171795 the man grabbed her 23963b9a16 wrist.b2286dc706f9f4f3

Lee Heewoo’s eyes widened d390d4848a so much they looked c49d725799 like they might pour 9e7e74db72 out. The man’s 5943751507 high body ce0b92f28d temperature clung a05777bef5 to her 80831a2ae2 wrist as 8355d32333 though melting 5ff3443538 into it. Feeling like she 88f5e51013 might stop breathing, b3cbb0fe7f Lee Heewoo blinked f8f4f22eed rapidly with her 600194e606 large eyes. Her heart felt 362465187f like it was bb72d0c353 about to burst, 438d13a81e beating so fast 8b5c9f71c5 it might explode 2aeed0e967 rather than stop.1f18a3cd60e22bf7

Lee Heewoo 31d2463275 was almost 01f047464b thrown into 9390f16edb Cha Gyeol’s 6bba3b2b8f arms, falling df833bf03f forward through 096c910d44 the wide-open 5674750eef gate. Holding her wrist firmly, 15534219a2 Cha Gyeol used his 1b60440b1c other hand to grip ccd1ac891f Lee Heewoo’s chin and 3d412051ce lift it. The skin he e5f49456ef touched was all 5f0102dc0a cool and smooth 7e3624a050 to the feel. Lee Heewoo, frozen 7719555cad in shock like 2d7d9fdecb a startled rabbit, 597e46327b locked eyes with e64ec8cc38 Cha Gyeol’s unusual, 6b7a547ec0 multicolored irises.260ff8d43e36e866

Cha Gyeol, 30c723061a who wouldn’t 7f81a8a4eb so much 8af303a4b4 as blink a2a87c028a at most dd2160cc75 things, felt 7dc04c97d9 a peculiar aafb088972 thrill looking 8f18da2de6 at Lee 9ff5cade5b Heewoo’s face.103891675c61d670

The short haircut 7d78ae9562 that male idols 2ff4dbef46 often sport matched cf4bd5ce77 the small face 8dc66fb551 perfectly. Upon closer inspection, 258dec10ef it wasn’t the 5ee844c8eb work of a 7d9f86f40a professional—it seemed to d4b6970037 have been cut 562fac982c rather roughly. But because 89422332b5 of her 5987bd8150 looks, anyone 1a12437cef who wasn’t 1d2ed4e393 paying close 2a175ee736 attention might e6076880d0 think it 4cf5e442bc was intentional.69707f8037406bc8

With large eyes that 637e9140be forgot even to blink, 5dd94f5306 Lee Heewoo was staring 18464cf482 fixedly at Cha Gyeol’s 8d00ec4fee face. Her jet-black d5701b929c irises were 4e0f68a175 strangely clear 0c40789fe1 and transparent, 56f0173ead while her c74d63034f pupils were 0054f94432 strikingly large, 479011b4c5 almost as 084bd0da1d if she 216ed9d8ff were wearing b305720d90 circle lenses. Even the curled, tightly 73f91974a7 packed, long lashes were 3fa551d5b6 flawless. As Cha Gyeol’s gaze 8f5b1c8d79 swept over the straight 1da91ab010 bridge of her nose e6a875e16f and the prominent beauty c3e84be99e mark that was neatly d4d03df471 placed, he released the 5f284b699f chin he was holding 13d4ffe80b and snapped his fingers 942c7f364e sharply right in front 7302595f2c of Lee Heewoo’s eyes. c92c227f5b5fe04d

As if breaking 8b21af4e4c out of a f483d355db spell, Lee Heewoo 876930d20b blinked rapidly and bd155fd428 struggled slightly against ebc2ec1643 the grip on 36fd9101f1 her wrist. Her feeble strength was 8eb08251a1 laughable, and Cha Gyeol cca16da2c1 tilted his head slightly. The thought that his 92afe7aa70 own member was thicker 9ae517e461 than this person’s wrist 38cecb5c78 crossed his mind briefly, a629686a96 and a small laugh 680161dfc2 escaped him.1d387282025c1c5c
