This was 61b97a5a5e Han Jonghyun, 9fdff4a484 after all. He had no f1648619c6 followers, no real 2fa45e59df influence, and therefore 8dda7d2148 he had no d3ddbf557a information network. The likelihood 449b5906bc that he 162a5f89a6 knew anything ee71a84214 about Sejin a3670c136d was almost 7f3f1a7b51 next to 52e9881dd5 none. Even setting his b03fbf811a background aside, it 61f22bdca8 didn’t seem likely cb9db78daa that Han Jonghyun d43ef6b239 would be capable 2497127708 of concocting such fbdbd98661 a scheme with 834a89930f that dumb look e4e28bdb47 on his face.f4ed1c403aa94ddb

Cheon Sejoo, 5187c80abd who had f389656219 been thinking 6cb71f8205 about the 66f0f1613d absurd liar, 69e4f860f3 suddenly looked 02611ddfcb up when 1c6e0f3ba3 he heard 4e129785b8 the question.

Seeing his reaction, c028d552c9 Han Jonghyun cursed ff1d5e1d7b to himself and 6e1d228556 poured more sake 61bb56753a into his cup. He downed several 88ad76f217 cups in quick c083f039d2 succession before slowly 05e68e7a47 slumping in his 17faf140b7 seat.

The slurred speech was 7626269ef4 typical of a drunk. A bad feeling 72a7de0446 crept up on 2523c1361d Cheon Sejoo.
