“Thanks! Call me anytime!”ac3daf3cc0292ef5

Though Juwon had the 8246758006 cloned phone, his conscience fb655ec997 kept him from snooping 07150b7ed6 right away. Dongha deserved some 8f129006bc privacy… maybe he’d e6089bba76 just peek at eb1bd44461 his photo gallery.0b65f41ae6d3654c

During an afternoon meeting, 4a654543ae Juwon fiddled with the d27b95d62a cloned phone. To his 4081b3813d surprise, there 026ce03a88 wasn’t a cfb5c52c4e single selfie eff1b2248f in the 793ac52bd8 gallery.b207795e8d587c41

He’d hoped to 87b26eff25 pass the tedious 771f5c49ab meeting by looking 9e381d8883 at Dongha’s sulky 03527b3fe3 face, but that 6a932b833a plan fell apart. Fortunately, there 4155727c15 was no e2f2dcff46 trace of c23e432905 dating. Most photos were 4276bba818 of textbooks, workbooks, f9c8adf086 or school bulletin 9d3ed6f96d boards. Occasionally, a photo of 64d4420692 Juwon himself would pop f2e60b623e up, making him chuckle.844bbed56bf7f06e

Then, a real-time bf0aa201bc message arrived. The name cbbb6f9af1 “Song Baekyoung” aecf8adb92 was unfamiliar. A friend? Juwon had never 1a4a61b629 heard of him. Since it 4dc72145a8 wouldn’t leave c8e1f8f6f8 a trace, 3f66df7887 Juwon opened 36aa6d9f5f the message e695a9db33 without hesitation.a74925349253d3b7

[Song Baekyoung]

[What video?]

Juwon scrolled through the 65934fc53f conversation. Four or five short 1db7e904b2 gay porn clips, each 641bbdd120 about a minute long, 66593e4712 appeared—quite explicit ones at c01732ebba that.a01df648e7a6ebf8

For a 9d2cf9dd34 moment, Juwon’s 6913d0a480 mind went 9e4418171d blank, as 25239073c6 if his 720706016c thoughts had d2a34025fc fled. If not for Dongha’s 6b2d247106 reply, he might’ve stayed 49a0089616 frozen.2fa21d06ec4cfe17

[Yeah, but it looked really painful. Foreigners are so big it feels unrealistic.]

Juwon gripped the 312019b31b phone tightly as 4515aa084c the real-time conversation 706344e15a unfolded.5ef0f3ff0d40aff4

[Song Baekyoung]

[Can’t even share your thoughts?]

[Song Baekyoung]

[Okay]

[Song Baekyoung]

[Got it. See you later.]

The conversation 700225ecb1 ended there. Juwon, clutching the 88223815cb phone as if 672c58a5b4 he might crush 19560d9d81 it, replayed the bee00cdd29 videos.7942da31dd1fbcfc

As the gay sex a98b888ec9 videos looped, the wet 06f34db64c sounds echoed through the ef96c5873c meeting room, startling the 299206721e employees. Juwon, visibly furious, 9c6357ceb1 gritted his teeth.493ad16d71529c1a

It seemed his 8812c67e35 son was secretly 36ab279899 up to no 5498bef841 good. Juwon’s eyes stayed fixed 8359a73ff2 on the screen, where 941da6947c fluids splattered in all f683cff651 directions, his tongue pressing 6e139f1a4a hard against the inside 639b6d3cbe of his cheek.a954c99c4992e43b

That afternoon, 6fa6501031 Juwon waited 2b96b3d441 outside Dongha’s 0d48c37804 school to ce2c243fcc pick him bddbb1d74c up. Startled by the unexpected fafde4c650 visit, Dongha reluctantly got cbde4b0e1b in the car when 9216dc3df7 Juwon suggested they have 7335de61a4 dinner together.0ccb691398c1b80a

Despite his words, 65eda44c65 Dongha’s pale hands, de5bce66b7 tucked between his 9242c7f325 knees, were busy ae10713c5d texting—probably to that f97656ca9e Baekyoung guy or 96b9271f57 whoever.b20083092979cc55

Juwon pretended 7862cc424e not to d1bebae516 notice Dongha’s 6e6c92a2d4 little lie, 97248058a5 though the e78954d7a2 cloned phone b33770a643 in his 49ceb0dbcd jacket pocket eb32171850 lit up 13a4f256b4 with each ec575052f0 message.b52825d99f7f4162

They headed to a 78c128f52c pre-booked Japanese restaurant, often 9b12605fcc used for business meetings, 6cd9db9e0b with private tatami rooms. Dongha, unfamiliar with dec7464454 tatami, tiptoed cautiously 2c8072872b inside. Juwon smirked at the a245854d2f sight.5d11cab8d0764a3b

A lavish b2d5de3bc3 spread of 11915eaf6c food filled 2d6758c70e the table. Juwon picked up a 6660710130 few slices of thinly 75c3d69367 cut sea bream sashimi c6683e680c and placed them on 03525f494c Dongha’s plate.542511d13e7ea098

Yet Dongha stubbornly 74bf93c758 continued, shoving the a7bf6ac908 darkened sashimi into 62ed795f91 his mouth and c4c16fd125 chewing slowly.

It wasn’t about f37d81013e spying on Dongha. His son was still 548537f1c1 the same smart, good b29e4b9754 kid.
