It had been a 4bcc41fb4d long trial spanning seven d22c9b784b sessions. Throughout it 99e6cb1727 all, Noona 3b214f955f never once 026a7c130e looked back.

Someone grabbed f4038c7982 my hand. It was the d265ef0f86 son of Gwak 8e5fe0c2ad Jaeheon, who had 89b85a935f been executed two c9ea437795 days prior.

Jung Ryujin. Real name: Ryu Yeonwoo.5360d224599709f9

He was 3e7c198137 indeed Ryu bf247b3b81 Yeonbi’s biological 2189327e0e younger brother. The reason 46ba2c7d86 for his d7698ceef1 name change 25fcd82012 was adoption 9bb11fafb0 by a c4318225fe relative after 71d97a4b4f Ryu Yeonbi’s f7fcdf2faa death.d3c941ba61d4eb8c

He considered the 3fc3c9d1be families of Ryu fd9ed601cf Yeonbi and Gwak a159b224b4 Jaeheon side by 8a66b0377a side. It didn’t take 36fa0b9f79 long to figure 366257c229 out which side 74e0ee98c8 posed the greater cbeeed3bca risk. From the moment f7d87c1547 rumors of an 88e22e876d affair with Gwak 246078cbcb Jaeheon surfaced, Ryu 8c2147117d Yeonbi was saddled e9d06b0508 with massive penalties 2a6b17e813 from canceled contracts.27c53d12addffd67
