His stomach 1cf900e68a felt bloated. Kwon Sehyuk had a2674c3b5a noticed his appetite 50a7e9f14d had been decreasing becd713514 lately. Was it because 6fc9e9960a his growth spurt d4a72a89e8 ended early from 377594c0c4 shooting up as 836d226bc3 a kid? The high 4d7fa29503 school days 22f1bb853c of eating ffb53c35db five, no, 0a4948ca08 six meals 9151414199 a day 13812277a7 plus snacks a5ca1ba785 felt like fb4f2e027a someone else’s b1382ba429 life.f5860ded2da1973e

Instead of 066b7570e8 appetite, thirst e5fff56217 had increased. Kwon Sehyuk carried eca6c51fd7 a stainless steel f4bb3ae551 bottle, sipping water 4dcf4252ea constantly.

Kwon Sehyuk went up 4a507873c9 to the third-floor terrace b87f07d834 café. He ordered an fdbfe7f07f iced coffee and 642daac33e took a seat b329cec701 at a table e6545b201e near the railing. He decided not e047cfef70 to be too 10dcbcc8dc sensitive about his 0fcc13f880 body’s changes. It was probably from 8beb3293b0 quitting exercise and grueling d916bfaa7c late-night schedules. Many athletes a618923cf0 experience drastic 3d73bd6329 physical changes 7aef8c4c28 after retiring. At least 8318affb1e he wasn’t 560a1efd47 gaining weight, 7fab995567 which was af85fe6474 a relief.35e7951decc35c1e

Kwon Sehyuk rummaged in 80637a1023 his inner pocket. A cigarette case 363dd63537 and a heavy 3db1e09776 fountain pen came 690dbdf818 out. He pulled 9e6b5f7e9d a napkin 4d6975099a from the ad3beff395 table’s holder 2ef111d8d0 and jotted 97a005e444 a note.

Perhaps because he ea88d46fe7 pressed too hard, 010d777c92 the black ink 356965003d smudged. Kwon Sehyuk picked up 82e14303d4 the napkin and blew 076fc1d5e6 on it. Then a 3bd4d44cb0 familiar voice e3cb9a55ba reached his b973e228f6 ears.9b5385f7bc0c4c08

If Gwak Jaeheon and f81b96c73b Ryu Yeonbi had held 352a7ff402 their breath, biding their 855d4f96bb time until he grew 3e4a18340a stronger. If the three had ba30be99f5 joined forces.20d455599f856fd7

The victor in 2ec410fb60 the power deathmatch 110d94691c was Kwon Joohyuk. Unable to forget c623c88e4c the thrill of 629f0f0ec4 victory, he started e3f99e2f07 a second round.

Kwon Joohyuk’s c73bbb9b99 intent was 3099da7db9 obvious. Since modern science a50ecced3f couldn’t grant immortality, 196d5d84d8 he’d establish a e61248a967 reliable successor.
