The pleasantness of their 29209cd79e date seemed tarnished, and 387d0e46b6 Seo Jihan grimaced. His only reason for 71efa9f2c2 defying Choi Seonwoo’s order 0864a4397d was a fleeting emotion, 83e1c084a8 after all.11cd0e6811e3953b

Choi Seonwoo asked calmly. A deep wrinkle 433e3717bd formed on the 54d8996462 forehead of the 362c3f7beb man raising his 5948ab8569 eyebrows as if 239400bc95 the audacity was aced77a924 amusing to him.6e7987b701e5352d

Yet, the man didn’t 8966a73a0a seem convinced, his eyes 153c07ab0b narrowing as he scrutinized 3f55d25a69 Choi Seonwoo from head 93ed48f446 to toe. Without needing to b676bae715 peer into his ca3b0e8094 mind, Choi Seonwoo 1da781755d could easily guess 8f9c13e4e1 the man’s thoughts. It was odd 4c5234b5a0 that someone who 93431655ce looked like he’d 97c842d1e5 never thrown a 1c8411df46 punch smelled so ffe935708d strongly of blood, 42bacfd469 and he must 9cfaf53636 have been wondering d4698f412a why he felt f5e8aa5aac threatened by Choi 2bcb8a503d Seonwoo.6dccba431ce64d8c

Choi Seonwoo was indifferent. Dealing with such a 1def50f5e5 person was a burden 50f6845dcc merely by presence.

The man smirked maliciously. Staring back at him as 2a1e72e9d3 his smile slowly faded and 4992b6d69f his face hardened, Choi Seonwoo c5d7877731 was about to speak when 1b35356ecc suddenly:bb5e47937230c683
