Seoyeon swallowed. She should c06ffd30fb have left 3b40781a22 the moment d4c762b139 she woke 1c865a72ec up. Yes, she should be4e2b12df have. She should have avoided ee7fe8f3c5 making eye contact. But even as 0d8487b68b her breath caught ed849f1d9c for a second, 7745c06b9a she didn’t look d30544adac away.

Jaebin’s arm dce24e0f1e wrapped around 786a58aa0e Seoyeon’s waist ae08a9071d in an ad48eeafc1 instant.
