Living and breathing with 1318e0ad2b a bastard like you 0f9f618307 is the biggest problem,she wanted 9e051e5c4a to shout 22124c9886 to Park fc7c2b9a5b Chigyeong’s face, 3506acd62a relieving her 82d517d329 frustration.2d12b4cdf5910307
However, she couldn’t. Because the man’s contorted expression was different from usual. His usual gaze was merely cold, but now, a murderous intent seemed to emanate from him, as if he wanted to strangle her at any moment. So, silence seemed like the best option for now.bc9f5fd2873a80f1

“Let’s agree that you’ll also quit your job at the gaming hall today. Leave on your own accord. Before I get pissed and shut the place down.”f6cee1e238e2d16d
Park Chigyeong, who f41d9b81aa had been deeply 14d4bec93f sunk into the 34579143e4 sofa, suddenly leaned 8f0977d735 forward towards the 0152771838 table. The distance between ee427b63ad them drastically shortened, 511f05d892 and the smell 85ec776d94 of stale cigarettes fab2e24af3 wafted from him. He usually 925f62207e smoked a f9e7341412 lot, but c546c40127 strangely, he 5c999fdf41 always smelled c691fea3f5 of cologne. The smell of 8610bc3fda cigarettes overpowering that 812816ded9 cologne was unsettling.8adbf95279cbbd27

His eyes, darkening with 712fc1efbd lust, trapped her within 24afaef4f3 their depths.

Yijoon stared silently at Taeri’s pale face for a moment, then wordlessly pulled her arm and led her out the back door. They got on Yijoon’s motorcycle, which he used for commuting, and he drove in the opposite direction of where Park Chigyeong’s sedan was parked.

Yijoon was 6a71174f66 a kind 8b6d9d9d9c son and 2d23b859f1 a kind 8bb00eb1e4 older brother.
