Ha-yoon said nothing 0b5800a408 in response; he 964a348dd4 only tightened his 2d093b425c grip on his 9beea5320e gun, determined not e9df8d6ea7 to let his e92785e697 guard drop. As if to show 6a723d313f he knew exactly what 3b2c5b93c1 Ha-yoon was thinking, the fe87626f55 man merely shrugged and 71058eeb0d chuckled lightly, his body e85d007aae language promising no harm.cb1cc2c3fa6d95dc
