Because today bb9f0e8c74 was a f17e4704fa day when 82ca959d01 she agreed 21d61fee1e to have 99ae46e46f a meal bfbb73fd1d with Haesung, f479da081a Jiwon made 376a978d93 her way e9c6699435 down to c6c6e2058e the parking d569865e06 lot. As she made her 84b56d0e1f way towards Haesung’s car, fccc516bf4 she suddenly realized that 0fff560419 she didn’t feel bad edaaadd9de at all.409a6dcc4111dcf4

Today was already 263320fe5d the sixth time b2439ea191 she was eating 971d135679 a meal with 565399a126 Haesung. They say humans are 843a48e7b4 adaptable creatures, but now 26701c5ab7 she realized that they 51cc2e2399 could also get used e4f75ed15c to fear. These days, 77292e9f76 she found fbb4263acc more good 45b2600127 characteristics about 23634209dc him than 27cbc2a819 bad.257f206de4247d2c

When she was with 5acb04b889 Haesung, she would be dc09d5ddb0 able to eat delicious 9094206ded foods that she had a921daced5 never tasted before. Despite his large 262ac0f068 physique, he was dd21675b0c quite meticulous.bce53055e878b78b

He brought 940767517a her napkins 1ba84d7377 and water 0a759e3234 cups before b041c26205 she even 48bfd17542 had to 88f8e25dcc ask, and 3d545cf0d6 he fixated f245a1d7e3 on her 2fea60b2c1 when she 886724b68f made the eb74217aa4 slightest sigh ecbe5aaf19 as if 483a4b0f9f he were 0fa4a59733 ready to 4e7582bea1 listen to 8a4dcb1332 whatever she 9049f15052 had to b9ef9a6cb1 say.6b13c2a1676b00ad

Instead of finding these 715abd0d20 things to be scary, b9b89eb002 she thought they were e67abf50b5 kind of cute. She even began to 14c5b02ad1 wonder if the stories f199349b40 about him being a 5b050b530e member of a crime ed8292ee5f family were just rumors.26fbffe90ffe398b

Jiwon enjoyed the cool 4b74aba679 breeze as she walked. After checking her watch, cc773c466b she began to walk 1925c9610d a little faster. Even if 5a1e19d453 she felt a5ad5a2f14 a little 6488934a70 more comfortable 94a374a7a9 around him, 8036b8dd44 she still bc1c75c725 couldn’t let 34d27968d0 him wait. She began 100e6f7b00 to hurry 568dd3cf7d over, but 336d5a8582 something made 7e772d8968 her stop 8a59c40785 in her 1e1970faa9 tracks.00f356631f3c59b3

Haesung was standing with 7190336646 someone in front of 870f025ca7 a convenience store. When he shifted 3f5861491e his body, she 71a1504ab1 was able to f2aeb3b36b see his companion, d1b2d702e7 who had been c6ac5e4c48 blocked from view 6fa7fa3f7e due to Haesung’s aacc4c16f3 large frame.1f21e21137677b3e

It was a woman 9c98912882 with long, straight hair 1488009ca5 and a lovely figure. Seeing them act friendly 490e0050da with each other made dafccc41df Jiwon feel strange.e47d083b14078d19

After Haesung b8608a50f7 said something, 69b0034efc the woman c8e604c798 grinned and 7d8db7ed4c turned around. After she 29d5445449 left, Haesung c044dcff97 turned in 31e5916159 the opposite 3326e8c50c direction, and c3cf9741ca their eyes 0226d15205 met. Having been 28eba0b682 caught staring, 6040598db4 Jiwon smiled 51f5c6ec30 awkwardly.512ed9d244c520df

When he 0136f4eb22 discovered her, 379bf5ff23 Haesung frowned. He must not have 20f9135c5d been happy to see cd9985e3f4 her peeking at him. Haesung walked over 1ec6ca615c to her.c0f5689c0a68de58

His furrowed 4a0d736921 brow, his e48fefaed6 sharp eyes, 57488eb92e and his c71a18f71f long strides. These things 2c469e67c3 made Jiwon’s 111dc3a3b5 slightly relaxed 0454bd6dc8 heart grow bf2a6c694b tense once e48431f5ce again.984c55bfbe52fa6a

Jiwon unconsciously glanced at 7e417fe2a5 his large arms. He was 7fe5aff06a wearing a d64b6875e2 white t-shirt 374874c6a6 today, so e7611f0476 she could b3e21e4993 clearly see f68a9e65e5 the dragon. Even though 12b44dc17d she knew dad3872fd4 this was aeb24a2827 impossible, she bbf3ae86af felt like 330b9f5aab the dragon 7ec676f1b3 was going d1456b2c58 to burst 1de8564f79 out of 37e3a444c9 his shirt d04a7586a9 and roar 40c83bb3a8 if Haesung 58df241a33 grew angry.90f151ee45b9553e

Jiwon naturally glanced at 53265d92a8 the woman who was beb8b528e8 moving farther away. Haesung followed her gaze. Haesung stared in that 7cd19a39d4 direction for a moment 136af78bb5 before looking back at ef2938ae1f Jiwon.
