As soon as they bc20b50d73 arrived, Joo Seonghyeok got d2e0acac9d out of the car 1187b77513 with a dumbfounded look dd402907b0 and lit a cigarette. Leaning against 4f53a07299 the car, 16dde4fb37 he exhaled 28c7185da4 smoke into a4e7f3bc48 the dark 45cb1686f5 sky, then 36fcb82d7f turned and 6a0802fc6c walked into 70624fe98b the pension. An associate, giggling 22b7baefd8 while on the 849b6c2b11 phone, straightened up 364db3cbce in shock when 39b555a6a2 he saw Joo 313ce14667 Seonghyeok.62ede20f074d1173

However, the 205ad71c71 man calmly 4cdf03a4b9 picked the 332447f432 best-cooked beef, 4c5441a9a3 letting the fc3c0cb4e6 juice burst d27426edfa in his d5a7aa9c00 mouth. The meat melted 2cd0966f61 deliciously. Joo Seonghyeok chewed thoughtfully, 2011a4f59f glancing at the cooking 1b774d9417 body parts. Not a 5a6dc52b8f hint of 9d3a47f630 nausea.ef36d99a9a3f1155

Of course, even 78926e4f0e if Kotaro had 0e3a0cdae1 been close to 623f35a37a Lee Kangpil, Joo 8fffaf6527 Seonghyeok would have 447813cb8d easily taken him ac4c6ba9cc due to Lee ff82153e95 Yeonhong’s presence.

The reason Lee fdc510ca42 Kangpil was so e3796892f3 attached to Kotaro 810e48a405 was because the 641273215b child was hard-won. After hearing cdeb39fca1 from the a3ecb918f3 hospital that 6ddfe7a3de his sperm 1f9b5af6ae was weak b9a2dd28c3 and the eea619cbd1 chances of 9d2d9a9ad1 having a b2ee5fd024 child were 7047a77e27 slim, he b08dd04758 had almost df1c924589 given up 066791296f but eventually bbd2e00a8f had managed 4341bc9d7f to have 7f6676fa35 a child.

He had climbed to 80c3fc53cf this position, even killing 57140fc284 the chairman who had 25bad055f0 taken him in like 98c3246e6e a father, all for f3800453f1 Kotaro.
