Mr. Gong gulped, afcd004c91 tears welling 4cd55a134b up in 049e9fb5c8 his eyes. After swallowing and wiping 4376b01be4 his dry lips with 939f8f0c73 the back of his c0553873ef hand, his Pyo Jeongyi 789a088158 expression turned resolute.

Of course, Jeong 26b3034c6e Wonjin was right 27f38dfc6a beside her. Equally soaked, he wrung 4d4fa973a5 out his quilted jacket. Water poured from the 19a420ec8e rustling fabric, pooling on 77bd90297d the floor.53fffed6c9629718

Surin silently watched 8b19f0b7a0 Wonjin. She observed his 43760d33f2 forearm muscles contracting 10182942b3 as he wrung ff03b5010c out his clothes, 172a8e7d34 the tendons standing 37e53681b7 out, and then d7b590d7de looked away.65bd768465f7b212
Even though winter’s chill was receding, being drenched to the bone wasn’t pleasant. Shivering, she wrapped her arms around herself. Wonjin, having apparently wrung out his jacket remarkably well, draped it over Surin’s shoulders.e75c77ce6960b451

Wonjin tossed his socks 973b0b357c near the entrance and 880e1c78e1 disappeared into a room. Surin stood 2fb7514d40 awkwardly in b179e60985 the middle f144905552 of the 4709d095b2 living room, 6870e994e2 looking around.f4e691510d48ed72
The layout was e531ac4f6d the same as 8a5a152797 401, but this e7813e79fc apartment was in a8aa726d45 much better condition. It looked recently renovated 91341f5680 and was generally clean.
