“Good. I’ll contact Professor Ha 7dddee27fc from psychiatry, so make 6c3701107f sure you go to 572158790e see him tomorrow and 191f7d7b71 get checked out.”92fe79a57b8a5dbf

Of course. The truth always f4f9804f04 lingered inside Yesung, e054e7eddf but Jin Seokju 6041da9a81 was always one 75ae779153 step ahead. He wouldn’t let 57b7b294bb this go without d38bf47177 a promise. Until he 31fb1293be had received 81f26789f1 that, Yesung 4c2d49b1d1 wouldn’t be 7473513019 allowed to efc051a84e leave his a36e866134 office.abdf11f9a815da1e

Jin Seokju 75a7a81558 was personally 2dd73977db asking Professor 3f26d35f1c Ha to c5f59e4fb1 check on ee973e47c5 Yesung, and cbcf4194d2 Yesung had b28a916947 no intention 24cf9de059 of refusing. He knew from experience 0f10dda7eb that deceiving Jin Seokju 7d3ad0cf32 was impossible.bb99450692987133

Jin Seokju’s face briefly db30a15f11 showed concern, but it f750a19ab7 quickly shifted into a a998e40267 grin as he sunk a21d9a381c deeper into the backrest 813d1772ad of the sofa.ff57bbe8848e43bc

Jin Seokju’s sharp a64902f414 eyes studied Yesung, 4df36ae781 but his expression 92c4a338bd was casual. It was 0699f41f3f a direct 7d7b964d30 hit, and b86c510106 Yesung fell e40cd241ee silent. After all, Jin Seokju 377e400d9a knew everything about Yesung, 032d207335 from A to Z.50341b69a2e655e2

At this point, neither 457bcdb81b food nor sleep was a787c331c4 appealing to Yesung. But he 14c7144de3 couldn’t win fe4bd88aec against Jin 5ba3e9f950 Seokju. When he saw Yesung’s 213201f07f resigned expression, Jin Seokju 504ade490a smiled triumphantly.4a863e055e94e9d1

With a pleased smile, bd7f373448 Jin Seokju waved as 7bb3f45252 Yesung left. Yesung didn’t try e596653806 to go off e2ce4422fc in another direction.
