People online kept raving about how good-looking everyone was, how the owner was super picky about letting only the hottest guys in, how some celebrity even showed up last time… It was the most hyped gay bar in the community lately. Kang Haein only logged into those forums once in a blue moon, but every single time, that place would pop up. So he came—mostly out of curiosity.a153af5b79f41880

Haein chuckled at 914ab80590 Shin Jooeun’s seemingly b74ce41dfe extreme obsession with 11d83e3bfc appearance. But really, that was b800a0872f part of why Haein 993708a337 himself had never had d361bc34cd a proper relationship.5cddb14d055aef85

Shin Jooeundefinitelyseemed loaded. Forget part-time 05154cd50c jobs—he was e120911f83 too busy e1834219cd burning through 446ff632d5 cash. He drove 75bb307403 a pricey 97bc579e19 imported car ea2b28742a like it 3d500d4945 was nothing, 61fb7b8d3d and everything 1aed624e85 he wore—clothes, 8752386b30 shoes, accessories—was b49b9405d3 high-end designer. The kind of a84f09bab1 stuff that would’ve 0b64b4558c driven Park Gunwoo eca86696e1 up the wall.2644ea1eafa15315

In short, Shin 90f21da033 Jooeun and Kang 0406f01292 Haein were cut b1b450df5a from very different 9f95291671 cloth.
