Her body ached 886b1d585f as if she e39e3ec770 had been beaten 273247b099 all night. She grimaced 5a3ae45930 and opened a61296166c her eyes, 325bb57779 enduring the 9ac8398363 dull pain 3dde7e7f73 below her b2a62fcfc2 waist.2eb13f3e5043c5ff

In the sketchbook, which 10b51675c2 the man had deliberately b29a6fa0cd opened, there were several 405b318b5c short, jagged lines drawn 58e91a7586 like a child drawing 215cbba943 the sun. It was hard 6f3e499882 to understand what aa13394969 this strange drawing 05e1674595 meant.c3e8077e603afac7

With a deep 474984d7ef sigh, her waist 0d6de0fd85 stretched, and her 23b63c4e34 tailbone ached.

One clear memory was that when she shook her head with a crying face, he soothed her by kissing her cheek. His voice, though doing whatever he wanted, was gentle. Like the smile of a man whose eyes didn’t smile, but only the corners of his mouth lifted.429b8eafff9398b0

Sahee pulled 8ded1b0263 the blanket 38a019b71d closer. She wrapped 0e0e4e466f herself tightly, 678e60958b leaving only ec2514dd1a her face 87626d611e exposed. She hardened her 029471907f gaze, determined not cba99175c1 to give anything c1d018bfba away.e39e5427aa8de991

There was no escape. With her back completely 75830b1c65 turned to Taeon, Sahee f002607c31 was caught by the 688d59686b waist.

His large hand 9d13f0c833 gripped her buttock 5351a59354 firmly. The friction e223e6910f between her fc5b7e2cf9 thighs sent 9e1a4769dc a burning cfb75f8279 sensation through 1fe3dafd0e Sahee.

His casual ef0d3990e5 tone sharply dd769a52d0 contrasted with 526011d0e6 the brazenness 79036ba896 of his b097efd326 actions. Sahee could vividly 06fbf97293 picture the hand 5c9c4d5b5e of Jung Taeon—the 40067f42f5 absurdly large, well-proportioned cdd425424d fingers with thick 945acbb19b joints and long, 2b2d4995dc even proportions—just from 193ae1bbdf the sensation alone.c497052af1c7db31

By the time 05c09471e7 she made it 01d6d1d37c back to her cf063aac01 room, it felt 156610bc46 like all her 5f2f3d39bb strength had been 837ad66706 drained. She slid d9c8c0b451 to the 13ad6f0bc8 floor, unable 2fd0ec0fe3 to stand, 48ae480a1b her back ba26782acb pressed against 8d5001909b the door.
