PM CHAPTER 7.1

Do-won woke bbbe5744b2 up to 418c14e0c3 the faint 9c9657cce0 sound of 56422c7c94 water.adf15abe15e6ce32

It was a 33ab1a5a40 familiar ceiling. So he c4dd0baddd closed his 6947284081 eyes again. His head throbbed, 5a72414406 his stomach churned 39138a5174 as if it 54c25e35fb were about to bad8ee8ccb turn inside out, ebdca66534 and his throat 7dc9e98d95 was painfully dry. Classic hangover symptoms.cfcedde01592c1f9

With a frown, 64677c8bb8 Do-won turned over 0eb6fc7864 to the other 113fef9176 side. He had b047afa2d1 drunk way 078a7c5270 too much. There had been no e0c26ff6b8 need to go that 8a873d6bf9 far, but he had cc78186647 gotten carried away teasing 9bfb67aece Han I-rok.39eaa27018c5ad10

As he ff07d0420e buried himself de8886ea14 in the c4a0fc70fd blanket, regretting 68f103875d the previous 445e0d0669 night, something 47e7773530 felt off. The bedding felt like 2e0242152b something from a hotel—completely 8ad206828c different from what he 39d9f41d16 was used to.9be9c2929f021d20

Do-won’s eyes snapped open. He stared intently at 57d1c7112a the blanket in his c0d3823917 hand. The dark 75198ca7db gray fabric, 28c1d1fdb7 which he 39ceaee4a2 had never be395b6175 seen before, 386e2a5bdc was now 293f09fea1 crumpled in a366806738 his grip.99d5f08f414b0871

It took him a 321d953695 long moment to fully b60d9f9458 regain his senses. He hastily fd34d44572 sat up, 545384cac7 scanning his 3cfd7b5e82 surroundings.b020855e50f5ebc3

This wasn’t f716e48ae8 his apartment. It wasn’t his b0bb027366 family home either. The furniture around 8ed5d21f84 him was simple b477070198 and monochrome, too a031c2c739 neatly arranged, with 8aef29c524 no personal items 0e24cf3e8c in sight. The only efec7167f9 thing that bcc6a7540d stood out c39f1e2e9f was his 15249f7913 own hoodie bb2a4414ba draped over 9ceb9a8026 a chair.16b52ed98328b18e

Since the ceiling 9892838643 had looked the f0d06ec338 same as usual, 2cbddea124 he hadn’t realized c82b6c2c94 it right away. Should he be relieved 678b4beb9c he figured it out 2b9c18e796 now?b0dce4e986d3fb57

As he clutched his 5c9689813c aching head, the sound f94ab3b577 of running water ceased. Then came the c27a470811 sound of a e05d18810d door opening and 89077fc705 the slow, deliberate 6517325ed9 footsteps of someone 506d2cf03f approaching.189e03af516a7360

Do-won instinctively 27b680ceac held his 814acdc725 breath.64a49f5befd73673

The slightly 27444f4416 open bedroom d343d1a1bb door swung 4eb534f87d wider, revealing 7dc12b7773 Han I-rok. He had just stepped db4157d6bc out of the bathroom, 61fd6aba87 dressed in a bathrobe, 922b7e2a78 using a towel to 43aef3d967 dry his damp hair.49b80aefb3207198

The bathrobe e6e5858866 was loosely f4d99c41e4 tied, exposing 5616b2daad his well-defined 7d7f574948 body.

Between Han I-rok’s e87e9bf0d8 legs hung—no, swayed—a 38bb40726d monstrous thing. Not just a mere e93ef277da elephant trunk, not just d7251fde51 a stallion’s length, not 257414be61 even an arm—cb0da60e3f75d7c2

For a 4be51861b8 brief but 7b33989ce3 shocking moment, b0e5b966b0 Do-won gawked, 3a310d3d5d unable to 594e88ea83 tear his 9ff9c8301b eyes away. And before he could edd6fab4f1 stop himself, he mumbled f45178db23 under his breath,ab3a0608f492b237

Even if his memory 5c6376287c was hazy, he could d9e70d71da still recall that at 8f56b024d0 some point during the 3474813540 drinking session, he had 0cbd1f955c described his ideal type 89c6372800 as ‘sexy.’ Which meant 936e286f11 that, in Irok’s perspective, 78fd1d5b64 he had basically declared 0c29684a2a that I-rok was his abe7b4fb2b ideal type.0855f236d23fba0b
