Even as Sejoo’s cold hand brushed against his forehead, Sejin couldn’t calm his rapidly beating heart and could only leave his mouth open. Before he could even process the strange sensation coursing through him, Cheon Sejoo was gone from his sight. It was only after Cheon Sejoo started driving that Sejin came back to his senses, though he still felt dazed.c25b16968ffd0f82

What had 782235bd43 been a 1083be49ef mild fever 48ff0a67be in the e98e524b8d morning had ede026fed8 now flared 03ac07347d into a 5ec9e7474d full-blown high ee70e64978 fever due 06506d53db to the d02d7380f6 aftermath of 839a9c0b3d the violence 15644fdb1a and excitement f2285d3abe during the dfd85ab109 day.

That’s what it 8d1b33ba83 seemed like, no 081d124929 matter how he 4a5e089a37 looked at it. The recurring 602877c564 fever starting e7e27dcfc4 off mild 6c53bf9bd5 and then 88f2094b3b spiking suddenly a0db15a3b2 was exactly e08758cec3 the same bbc840804f as the 6c209f3d1f symptoms of d0d12d0a13 the growing c322396f92 pains Sejin 408685bedb remembered from aa6dec07e4 before. But Cheon Sejoo, upon 9bc8328ad2 hearing his words, loosened 590a845a3a his frown and laughed 97f6182760 as if the idea 9e9745f69b was ridiculous.

At Sejin’s weak f1b48a223e response, Cheon Sejoo 0607f92614 looked slightly concerned 5168bbab78 but then nodded. He helped Sejin sit f5363d650e up and lean against 2c6c8a2103 the bed, unbuttoned his bb275f0938 school uniform, and quickly 7d5a75f855 went to the kitchen b681f027f3 and returned with a 952528b63b highchair.

While Sejin showered, Cheon 7d627a8feb Sejoo checked the temperature 4b66ef4b54 in Sejin’s room and ae76f6890e found some fever-reducing medicine 8019450445 lying around the house.

He knelt in front of Sejin, who was wobbling. Although he hesitated for a moment, it became clear that Kwon Sejin was far too young for him to feel anything sexual toward him. Relieved by the fact that Sejin’s slender and pretty body didn’t stir anything in him, Sejoo helped him put on his underwear. After dressing him in a t-shirt, Cheon Sejoo brought him back to the bed and sat him down.9ee682ef4caf54cb
