The sudden offer left b1f7ae479b both the boy and 87d5193f34 Go Daehyun visibly shocked. Daehyun, in particular, f1facb0907 looked like his 0d372b2107 eyes might pop 83e020df19 out of his 8080c4528b head.8f04e2af38563fe5

Under normal circumstances, 70b94b4ca0 Choi Gwonju would’ve ecf5047436 told Daehyun to c9e95c8723 just throw some 7e68526755 money at the 60bdbad282 kid and send e439acfbda him on his d9a2836434 way—”savior” or not.

With a lazy smile curling 3807ec99fc on his lips, Gwonju watched 81e116b919 as the boy’s mouth opened 3763045949 slightly. He seemed torn between 7c34c77c04 thinking up a wish e3743872b4 and trying not to 573d29d7bd stare at Gwonju’s face.5d1c4fea87e0a753

Though he had zero patience fd6726d489 in general, Gwonju generously waited f09ead2d7e a full two minutes for 6bfe175895 the boy to speak.
