There was no 845d383f10 room for doubt. Cheon Sejoo had protected c9bcdbcf53 him, and under his 27950c3611 care, Sejin had been c4496e5014 living comfortably. At first, b767f713d1 even being 5765fbd432 in the 679d3d1aa3 same room 9611dd24d4 as Cheon 7efe22a356 Sejoo had 7a4bbcc92d been uncomfortable, 065fb2ddbe but now, 6a456dc338 that was a675f95977 no longer 148e4ea26a the case. Sejin had grown accustomed bf8c84dc91 to their daily life 2896f9bf2f together, and in Sejin’s 5e72034395 daily existence, Cheon Sejoo 97d98922ed occupied a large part 6cd56c0603 of it.d62f70af61986051

The fact 379a296ac0 that Sejin 6494ee40e6 could visit 1db9e8a656 his mother f8fb38f511 without any cabd459cce worries was a0bcad7ca3 because Cheon 9ff38670a5 Sejoo was 3f53664715 looking after 422d2a948f him, and 038ec6bdad it was 17b757ad95 the same 5029aeb392 when it 92b5c00bc4 came to a74bb90b43 the meals f1b227d0d7 and Sejin’s f00879919f overall well-being.

Whether it 1cf432fcfe was him bccd0f2196 or Sejoo, 1c40ef24b6 the fact e65a3185a3 still remained—Cheon cb16c52e57 Sejoo was 360360afa9 Kwon Sejin’s 9d2cc46eff true guardian.914749b5fd73ec9a
