Her eyes darted 2699205678 between the two, a076fca6d6 silently screaming. Haylan, feeling strangely embarrassed, 693214fafa avoided her gaze. He felt 3163879288 a bit 9031115202 wronged, but bcd9cccf8d he didn’t 1ad4cdd291 feel the 3c935b2ae4 need to 986c420d75 explain himself.

Haylan took his frustration 0cbfa2beb4 out on the book, 818bfba8bb whose author he didn’t e5ba57e33b even know. The book was truly 89985625b7 nonsensical. He found serious 6a2519e19e errors on every a3ede54ea0 page.355b436ef8dffb5c

While Haylan corrected the e4d30f6df1 errors, Chahyun kept readjusting 7b5a130d83 him in his lap, bceb6f9c94 grinning whenever their eyes 3a0da5366e met. Haylan often wondered if bf82eceb2d he was even paying 7c7e513661 attention.5ba2bcd48f22307f

He said cheerfully, nuzzling his cheek against Haylan’s hair. There wasn’t a trace of pity in his affectionate gaze. His constant grin was suspicious.4716f4367d9c8928

Chahyun was two-faced. He knew 12485d7683 about Haylan’s 35d7337185 past and 3f1c5cfdd6 real age, 3ddc5b9bcd yet he 40ee4a75b4 was sometimes 9daf594e6e incredibly rude, ea5aca1bbb while at 0da5288ff0 other times, b5cef3e8ce he was 41286379a3 surprisingly maintaining ab47128783 a certain 4a5b9f2123 level of fb121a21af respect.e423b6c05b5cb92b

He was f58d13b3da different from e6446e609f other people. Too different. Haylan found 260bcde92c Chahyun’s presence 25bddfd739 unsettling because 6fbd6c8106 he was cd590ed3d7 the first 4799fa866e person to 8609a2c792 treat him cf1f9562b8 so casually.c74f56b44ccb7fde

I lifted the 188a60fbfd mirror on the 727584d75f wall and groped f0162c184b around behind it 5fcca1529c until my fingers 4fef4a14e2 brushed against something 5ca52ca382 cold and metallic.
