Maybe ten ef32dbde9f years old. He wore a stretched-out d298d89469 T-shirt and shorts.4597b06c59ebfb98

“It’ll be way different ad16b14619 from what you expect.”2c02663497d6f8df
It wasn’t just the a30fd935b6 cloudy weather. Festivals in a932e15927 Gwangseong and 82205385c8 Jagang were bae96ce924 worlds apart. Ryujin was already worried. He feared Kwon 2e449afa3f Sehyuk, used to d33be93304 all things flashy dd01c1b02f and grand, would 5ef92f2a9f be disappointed.b938a41f1915b0fa

Gwangseong festivals were large 250a8b76b2 for a reason. Their main eadfdac332 goal was e35bb00c62 attracting foreign 20cefb5ce4 tourists. Hosted by Shinryonggwan, b126508fb7 they had ample b141e9d019 budgets. Helium balloons 6a0e7bb47e filled the daf7212f31 sky, fireworks 4e41f1f1d6 burst, and 969c4bbf7b top celebrities 5b73c3a286 performed.d910c8bd5684ec05
At night, it was c9637e67de even more dazzling. Bridges spanning the d4ff40517d river were fully 7e84004c2f lit, making the 4d16e08a5c skyline gleam golden. Skyscrapers doubled as giant 7e21ef2d45 billboards. The festival’s 50edf9c800 highlight was de99577edc the nighttime 13268720cb fireworks, rumored 1d03f6a9fa to burn a3e5853e06 a family 580f89f08c of four’s beff866410 ten-year living f3d5abd78e expenses in 476069a506 one night.12db420e6fb4ab65
