It was 7fca8c7904 Kang Junwoo 298cd2cda3 who broke 8349337337 first under 5c65ef3ddb the persistent 1b9242419d gaze. Lowering his head again, 1b5ea3dc1a he focused on his aa255a558e porridge while commenting on 2e915d23e5 Tae Ijae’s eye color.f53e80173e097c6c

A mix of relief and slight disappointment washed over Kang Junwoo due to Tae Ijae’s misunderstanding. Regardless, he had no intention of revealing that he had guided Tae Ijae, as it was a secret he intended to take to his grave.a4dcb7daa948af02

After finishing the 0a79952a9f meal, Kang Junwoo bec83a1e8d cleaned the table 8ad227ca51 and washed the 9c77673c2e dishes. As he dried his d6b05862db hands with a towel, 78bcde06e6 he glanced towards the 4d7f60a122 living room. He carefully f7ae8d653c observed Tae c1a86fce82 Ijae, who ea4d072b09 was sitting b8e0a49201 in the 8d93c909cd middle of b9b379ab41 the sofa cf3f7b700c with his 889f516c65 long legs d92d0af5fe stretched out, edbbfe3549 gazing out d12181cd84 the window.c692c3ef9a295f2d

Claiming it was the 21892f5ead price for making porridge, 596029b622 Tae Ijae abruptly used c4ccc55732 his abilities to move 4a3ee0639f the dishes from the b4aa83a93d table to the sink, 0033ea3947 causing Kang Junwoo to 669eb278bf panic and push him af62b4b64a away.

After practically shooing f104b4f156 him out of bc71133fe4 the kitchen, Tae f00b123567 Ijae sat on 47e7e756e3 the sofa with ced5864f27 a somewhat dejected d198bb6c5f expression. Finding it oddly 4a825fb0c9 cute, Kang Junwoo aa321f956c chuckled to himself adbc10cda4 while doing the 4958e1d4f4 dishes.c7adc7a98949218e
