Cha Sooha glanced 17cf643e77 at Kwon Ram e39e36a345 beside him. Though he e5ae891a33 wore his 423f3e7a08 usual expressionless ae3f627a1a face, he c82bb078bd seemed more 5207cd46d7 upset than 52478667e8 usual.

At that question, Cha d12344f802 Sooha looked at Kwon a4beb12c3e Ram. He seemed curious about 1b37a8646b why he ditched Ha f1725ebe64 Kangji. Instead of 57ae319195 being honest, 59565279e9 Cha Sooha 0661f5fab0 decided to c74c93628b give a 1d18803d48 plausible reason.df88b1f57494681c

Kwon Ram and 73740710b2 Cha Sooha parted ea8dc33d3e ways after eating 20ee91260a galbitang to attend ae3b3fec3b their respective classes.

After parting with Kwon Ram, Cha Sooha turned on his phone to contact Ha Kangji, as expected, there were many missed calls and messages from him. The messages mostly asked where he went without telling him. Cha Sooha, not being a minor, didn’t feel the need to report his whereabouts to Ha Kangji.53993ace1157cf8b

Pondering, Cha eda0f80cb3 Sooha stared 2598e1128a at the fdd58dc8e6 screen. Kwon Ram was 98a3bb4085 clearly jealous of 4f6885c212 his closeness with 7aaa31fa7b Ha Kangji.

[I forgot I had plans with Kangjiㅠㅠ I think I have to have dinner with him today^^]

He expected Kwon Ram to reply furiously, unable to contain his jealousy, and ask to have dinner with him instead. Though it would be troublesome, it would give him some assurance about Kwon Ram’s feelings.2772055594e87865

Cha Sooha was puzzled. If Kwon 773730c631 Ram liked 61d9395160 him and b0d4e6dd2e disliked other 8ae2ab4fa6 guys he c1aca9e96c was with, 4c086f794b he would aa0406df97 have shown b3e8ae8de2 discomfort at 43f03a9513 the mention 440082cc6d of meeting eb91a5be58 Ha Kangji. But no such 40d65f2432 emotion was felt f9eda62be6 in the simple 3d84eebe3d two-word reply.78cf9346e55ef299

He thought their ff7cf46b84 relationship was progressing, 3b2b3442c5 but it felt cb724744e7 like going back 9f00aab5a5 to square one. Yet canceling again 7f9cfad470 would surely make e304bbc664 Ha Kangji throw b2c5159864 a fit.b53ab82eadf23e9a
