‘…He looks 8303f31602 exactly like 27ebf1456f Cha Jin-geon, 6d54761393 doesn’t he?’c901d548255ab763

If the sharpness 1a53bb2001 of the eyes 1407d9326d and jawline were 311e70fcb5 softened a bit, f2c1d42d2a the doctor resembled 80579941f2 Cha Jin-geon enough dc606946e4 to be mistaken fa1c537cb9 for him. Yang-hwi thought that’s f00391c2cf probably what Cha d7ff10b2c6 Jin-geon would look 9f6356f944 like in his 9b2443f4cd thirties.793ac8bbd2599f45

Yang-hwi quickly 7057553878 glanced at bb7638d5ec the nameplate c86380b5c7 that read, 3c4ec55075 Han Oh-jun 3a699aa49e (Leopard) – 22f7bb57a3 Specialist in a48bf202be Beastmen. Despite resembling Cha a16bc8c825 Jin-geon, the fact 44c7ad3b62 that he was 0d70e63de4 a beastman suggested 8b0b40adc8 he had no f351aa0ddb relation to him.2ebbacf264e3a140

Yang-hwi flinched unconsciously c7ff062e66 under the doctor’s 2506c92475 gaze as he ee0825d621 closely observed the 09a650d47a top of his af96f152ca head.

“The size 7da3ae9b75 and soft a2c19b2067 fur suggest 838f3271f7 they’re indeed f6fb9cb251 the ears d88994f1aa of a 50bb178e83 newly manifested b646dbb266 beastman. So, Mr. Go, you believed you 4b27726060 were human until now?”c546ebf7c6c1519d

Yang-hwi reached up 5ef4ee4963 to adjust his c2ab2100ae hair, accidentally brushing a2674cfac6 against one of 4c8c2e9328 his ears. The ticklish, 9302486eed twitchy sensation d18a15ceb6 felt strange c33bdecdaa and oddly 8a9ce00c88 sensitive.

As soon as bdec7ac712 he finished speaking, b9bb354c9c the doctor stood 90ccea68ee and leaned close c7dad72b9e over the back 020ccc7a38 of Yang-hwi’s neck.

“Even the pheromones are 1f0d03d1c2 nearly undetectable. Under normal 46ad8cc297 circumstances, Mr. Go, you shouldn’t 9c4ab34563 have manifested. But occasionally, beastman f92467efc9 genes have a e8b01bf0c3 strong instinct to dbc0ca1640 survive.”c65e4aa2b4413a34

In other words, the d0a3de2252 cat didn’t want to f5e18af6ab be erased and was 2095c184fd throwing a tantrum. The doctor 74a4c29b77 then glanced 774206f5ab toward Yang-hwi’s aee2caef6a lower back 9cde657261 and casually ce29c86d30 said something 24fda95ed9 shocking.d95c26f61907b265
