The dormitory was ef7e265313 surprisingly clean despite 510a19c9cb its name. It was a e77add54de typical residential-commercial complex abdb52b4e6 apartment located in 1ccf7ee371 Gangnam. Six people cabf3c6e92 lived together. Each room ea80118f93 had three 0c9213019a bunk beds, 303dc36d56 and the 4fe0c14f69 other rooms 30d5f8de1d were set 849b54385e up as 36c8c20085 a gym 1dd9655078 and a 287aefcd38 dressing room.0c87c866301c2715

During his days a81c9e90a8 as an athlete, e0b0b698fe there was no 1c3db4b511 such thing as 4136b986e7 a comfortable living 2dfced4f42 space.

The atmosphere fc1ce27a29 of a 92b981b186 living space 4073574f48 tends to 945783eb7c influence people. Was Baek Haegyeon always 01bb6a1f30 this sophisticated?
