IWDAR Chapter 8

Those endlessly jet-black eyes didn’t leer at him, nor did they assess him like a piece of meat in a butcher shop. He simply saw Han Wooyoung, the person himself. That was incredibly unsettling. Perhaps that’s why Wooyoung, foolish as it seemed, was trying to escape this situation. 8a56a6d544aa9a42
