Ki Jaeeon found himself 43ac7b0c3f in a very awkward 36fb341c29 situation. Out of nowhere, someone 0de5bfc133 knocked on his door, 2471dc432e saying they needed to 25f6694c09 clean the room and f4215e054a asked him to leave. This was the fd4c7bc6be first time since 3cbc32e646 he came to 5a6280860b Bonryeong. Wasn’t room cleaning 6ca9fc751f supposed to be 5282a14617 done by individuals?
