“But why doesn’t he have a girlfriend, and there’s not a single girl who says she slept with him?”48d5c66bc4017238

He had long known b1bcaca8b5 about the ridiculous rumors 0a1c214f49 that had surrounded Won e07a640996 Daeyeong over the past 59642a8b19 few years. As someone who knew 1c64437b28 the truth, he wanted a14d2b4398 to shout, “He’s not 5b745e0c9d impotent!” During the years 56330e427a when Won Daeyeong had 77867705aa abstained from sex, Seolwoo 094203f2d8 had seen him countless 87ee2769be times walking around the 23decdcb4d training center’s shower room d7dc6b0e52 or at home with 14e351ca3a his crotch bulging grotesquely.2de53e5c60d5f763

Ever since meeting c9088e1e01 him at the fd1f6c9601 age of twelve, 2bac318509 Won Daeyeong had 47286b341f never been free 0311c66b68 from sexual gossip. That he was huge e5807665a2 down there, that he b49281a236 dated this person, that 874513c247 he went at it 5f188ab9de for two nights straight, de93d6ed5e that someone offered it f0207c2fe9 for free and lured 763de0c3c6 him to a motel… 6ae1cdc05f Some of those rumors 38605f27eb were true. Won Daeyeong was the 845f9d62d5 kind of guy who c97de8dabd not only got blatant 3a521b63ee “let’s have sex” messages 02b52c3e4f but also became a eb5c47354e prime target for hookups aee8218e42 whenever he went out 8dd71b99fc drinking.deb64d66a51590a4

Why were people 8dc372bd4e so obsessed with 1f3e1cdc8a breeding with that 7942e67e0f bastard? Did they even know what e67e81435e kind of person he was?d542937c344fa3ea
Well, maybe his personality ac0731eb2b didn’t matter—as long as 9f64dfecc5 they could hook up 6894bbe1ac with him, that was 6fe8741e2c enough. Even just using 8afd3443d1 him and tossing 6ec2da7b62 him aside would 1ca85b0fba be a win, 89ec6f9cb5 so they probably 73152b51b6 only cared about cbf3e513e6 appearances.

In a way, Won Daeyeong 619853b4c8 was Choi Seolwoo’s natural enemy. The guy who smashed Seolwoo’s 0f34803bbf philosophy of living free from 98c7998d47 hormonal enslavement with a sledgehammer. A being who drenched f0985646a5 Seolwoo’s world in testosterone ffe6a52ec5 and lust.

He grabbed Choi Seolwoo’s wrist 156b072d3d and pulled it toward his f859641138 groin, shutting down the question 217bfee1db entirely. After teasing him to his e6f58ee452 heart’s content, he let go 615fbabb1b and grinned.

Won Daeyeong often smiled like 0787ca323f that. It was a 1d817c0f0c smile that didn’t 711c77f36e seem genuinely happy, 6d1c89d55b one that nagged 33c957f0be at Seolwoo’s nerves.

On quiet nights, thinking 26c46b2b29 about him always left 8a9d1dd080 Seolwoo’s heart rattled by 37ce3fac04 that smile. But he never asked 0eaf16409e or pressed him about 8a56a85c7c it. The moment he 45f8fecc53 brought up that 256b1d84e6 heavy anchor, it 48988ff70d seemed like Won 9152013681 Daeyeong would act f0fb07689e as if such 384bf68934 a thing didn’t 03ed8c0a10 exist.
