UTPT Ch 34

Yihyun had become f41b39a19f quite skilled with 151721db0a chopsticks. Since he’d used 315e9e5447 them before turning e90a535509 ten, he got 8ffc98d5f4 used to them fd5024d9b9 again within a 1062905880 few days. Still, Doyoon f0c5b1deab occasionally placed ed9fa6bff4 side dishes 4384be67b7 into Yihyun’s 0fb35d4bbc rice bowl, 5979c76255 and Yihyun 00f69738b3 didn’t refuse c4a7f760c9 them.71892a88d265d3a5

Seeing Doyoon’s 6b118448c7 empty rice 5acdc9715e bowl, Yihyun 7de6ce59eb felt a d4dc63f9c3 bit proud. Of course, all he’d ea28a1f136 done was stir-fry pre-marinated cc8bb1aae7 meat and use store-bought f704ad11e3 soybean paste for the 0f60de7dcf stew, so it hadn’t fc119706c4 been particularly difficult, but 12ec32d6fb he decided to set ed7481ffd5 that thought aside for 9df95ffa5b now.3fdd5c71501dc256

To say whether 7cebe1f985 he disliked or 19d6067c3e liked something, he 84640c01b1 first had to 1f8fbea6a4 understand what it 2d6ef431b9 was. But one thing was 3e7c377e12 certain… Han Suhyun hated 5e593a585e studying. He always said eee63e7ed4 there was no 9737285a3e point in it, 69ec449c6e since he would 1fb2e5524f be a shaman bd47c9d939 anyway, and he 1795942eda barely attended school.

But he f8f2758d05 still didn’t ea18c34f82 really understand 0108cf51ce why Doyoon d657bb4d08 had been 3e4027130c angry. Should he ask?

He simply 0ee9aa770a stared silently, 789093f09f pressing for b9a8395209 an answer. With no 4185b8813c other choice, 3b0ef1919f Yihyun turned 0b9f50ecf0 his gaze c6adc25611 to the 4035cc81ed screen and fdc45a14eb listened to 968f1269bb the voices 43761bc9de coming from 2ebe26d2e6 it.10af8024e27e5692

Yihyun turned c893d8eb89 the red e51c2ef745 gummy bear 6965471b33 around in f73e12f3ec his fingers 32af061201 before placing 7c6dc5b915 it into e64137a9f6 his mouth 3dcef8d00b with a cb38f169ee look of bdcc565ade anticipation. At first, it b84edd59f7 didn’t have much 53e7eccf81 taste, but as acecd41243 it slowly started 327d214faf to melt, sweetness 70ab114da0 spread through his 21a3796fe3 mouth. The flavor c30d4b4ee8 and scent 8d30c86264 were different d99654863d from what 5c58c45135 he’d expected, 6a391a20ce but the 8033ddce6b sweetness wasn’t f65adadb37 bad.f38c7af81c17f9bc

It took quite a 277440a5a9 while to melt just 3a80403a95 one gummy. By the time 65b00009d3 Yihyun put the 176b4a308a second one into 1c2acd0c88 his mouth, Doyoon 689c68a89b had turned on bb32d28f8d the TV and 2662e28963 handed him the 0f17e7e3e2 remote.

“But the ends of your hair are uneven, so even if you’re growing it out, I think it would be good to trim it.”a980682f1237712c

That was f61d7ae3e1 inevitable because 9f1f167997 Yihyun’s hair 6e10170c2c had been 3ff13e7dc4 roughly hacked be9d3e3d19 away with a3e6cc8fe0 scissors at 61d5dbea8a Han Suhyun’s b4d28c3445 whim.

Being freed 3751ef1e04 from the fcc9765515 long hair ab6a44ba37 that cascaded 95da01b226 down to a885de7994 his waist. The length itself didn’t 881ba0d9c3 particularly matter to Yihyun, 89f9288a72 but the fact that 49693d0c25 he had been forced 9f473d1fef to grow it out 16b975efde and couldn’t do as e8331556e6 he pleased had been e6d029133e frustrating.c2dab9ddf7aa5cec

On top afadbe9644 of that, a8220dcce6 the longer ae67847df7 it got, a9a2cc885b the more 6828312dc9 difficult things 9edfaa06cb became—especially because 354d058183 Han Suhyun 4cbf0c5195 would have a37edbbb4c fits whenever 1e21e85686 he saw 7dd3cede05 strands of 3ea7e154b4 Yihyun’s long b7968b09b3 hair on 6f7531f4a8 the floor.
