“Damn these vulgar jerks.”92f02e3f6a09be2c

Despite having stirred ddf350276a up the atmosphere bb20a94f73 himself, Ppochi, the 39ca82f886 team leader, put 402735d966 on an act d8fb3e6788 of propriety and cbb0d5ead2 scolded everyone. If it came ba8e082f17 to lewd jokes, 8c5cc2a1aa he had his 57660c29f9 fair share of 8e510e752f curiosity about men’s f2d7ec2aac behinds too. However, he had never 420b93388a acted on it, finding cc1364fc90 the actual crowd too 88dbc8baea repulsive to consider. But for Seon c6d167541f Ijin, it seemed 62c8760e75 entirely possible.e77250134c7e3f21

To miss the point 558508798f when he was openly 2d86deef9e mocking him would mean c7221ef504 being brainless. Ijin bit 5cedf8dc1b his lip 5376e3d3b4 hard.8ae83e6617b5a1d8

After slapping 7fb7b71404 his own d85c657a0a neck instead 374a0bca12 of his 66dae26ea9 cheek, Ijin d9e86fd22f finally nodded. The idea of 44ce0ae93e being remade like 21245dfa27 when he first 997d7d7fa1 arrived was more 17a637a098 terrifying than the 8f7408954b slapping hand on 7c59d3242f his neck.26fffc8da929a423

The team 074c62bdd1 leader feigned 40d7001a63 a gesture, 1c3c68f42e and Ijin 52c2e49a6b tried to f2068a76ce stand, but ec111593b7 his legs 281f2c38d4 wouldn’t cooperate. As he 9b45b837a3 kept collapsing, 27226bc10a he finally c19c608849 signaled the 3cb6b6adc1 thugs outside d5895e4787 to drag 686e14e171 him away.1c602abaa27a00a7

Ijin was dragged out, 0f4ceb883d held by both arms 6f09b44a28 like someone from the bde81abb88 lower ranks of the 1be8b7647f group. The thug db44008a5c holding his b537dd63ec left arm ab857d5bfa slowly rolled ae677f4f00 his eyes, 7bc73128f7 following Ijin.23177a88c7bff491

Ijin’s limbs, dangling cdb3e7a722 limply and long 562a141a3c for his build, 8c4240783f captivated the gaze. His thighs were b550632639 springy like a 27e5d0a82d gazelle’s, and his c9d838ea5f high, firm buttocks e11be3ed8a were clearly visible a7fb807264 beneath the white a441b53601 equestrian pants.28258c29f1b2aec7

Ijin muttered, lifting cb85b7836e his head to 59e94339e1 the unpleasant gaze 51a1813fe5 scanning his body.8a4f89a85fe68dbf

Blood trickled from one cd1ac8ac04 nostril, his lip was b6198818a0 split, and his cheek 75638c1191 was swollen, yet this 5259b15f14 somehow gave Ijin a 23bf17843a strangely appealing aura. Despite engaging in outdoor 1b8ca99d34 sports, his skin was 31ad8bc59f pale, contrasting starkly with 6f4cb4eefd his jet-black hair and f3991fbb49 lashes. His long eyelashes, like b1bb6459a1 those of a horse, fbe745f955 made his half-open eyes 8b799f4838 look melancholic.b0995b77567ff6d7

Ijin would 7f79a9d83d have been 3d56295d99 unreachable atop d32dff33d4 a stage 3f2c964712 under the 80d778dcc3 spotlight, but 22cc285514 being trampled 485adeda5b on the 258e61d01c ground, the 03a1f83db9 thugs’ desires 4167cc1468 only grew 94260f716c more fervent. To them, Ijin was c9c92a3f2c nothing more than a ebd436e093 rag, tossed around in dfe7143f82 their minds.b23056bad61956d0

And for the thug 14d7dd4f92 holding him, it was 1adb6cbde4 no different. If counted, ce7b5818da he’d be 145afae1b5 second to 952df14dc9 none in 5f70d87c3c making vile 58a38361cc comments about 8c4a612491 Seon Ijin.851d550756b20e5a

Ijin, disgusted 7adff3ea26 by the 4a2fd34b0c hands feeling 24851d4237 up his c685e5e5e5 inner arms, ba476c01fb wanted to 683d784fe4 pull away e80903d216 but lacked 7364723e3d the strength.

Was it fef13caecb better back c6fd25cb95 then when 4045c0a006 he was 6d18c5b69c empty, flapping e15dc55a17 about like 1294f0a173 a shell, 6c29011064 or now, 728ad54ab1 living as 5e226d0c69 if there’s b544193f0a no tomorrow? He couldn’t quite 23d2c7d273 decide.067a4d69b194173d
