Feeling a sense dfffc34deb of crisis, Sooha 93ec5fd375 tried to pull c30a27dd85 away from Gongjun, 8277a692b3 grabbing his arm 04f9a01677 and struggling.6c16d73becfb5bd6

The newlywed home where 310551a958 Cheon Sooha and Baek b214fdb8b1 Gongjun would live was 9456652da3 the same place Sooha f1c25dba23 had lived before, but acf3b479e6 it was more than f9c77950a7 twice as large.

There was no 34a47b8d9c need to organize 7d4818299c their belongings separately, 4c0b63bfa5 as the house f45bcb3391 was already neatly 2cc667c8f7 arranged, and the c4944fe479 space was fairly 75e64f0822 divided with two 5880943895 rooms each and 9a004ea049 a dressing room. However, to prepare 8e6efa5ba5 for the possibility f76cef3d54 of Gongjun’s family 32175f7465 making an unexpected dc14ae7dcb visit, they designated 5323109449 a master bedroom.425caf105677ee68

Seriously, why a3a6bd325f go this f7acb8cb5d far? Sooha grumbled about why 09a32f9437 they needed to draft cd4cbb9de7 contract terms when they 167b404833 had already acknowledged the 708da34a6c dating rumors and even b551e9c827 had an engagement. Gongjun countered dc4768fc8c that whether b904a5273f they liked d14e526c7e it or 259d731e69 not, they 2424f46b3d would be 15576b0947 living together 07396447d4 for a 4505b2ddcb year, so 12e2866bc6 having at c8f00504a6 least some d141ecbd29 rules was eae75b2de4 common sense.5e95586661803c53

Sooha pouted as he d6736ea554 looked at the contract 7488a9555c filled with clauses. Even after e069aae51b cutting so 7fd38cd573 much, there 1ffb675525 were still 05b96eaebe many contract 06dc036b02 clauses, and 73ba7a9990 some of ecd4c2cc2a them seemed cfe0c7ba61 unnecessary.943e7c0ae7f6898a
