their company put a ban on their relationship, they were never trusted to do a livestream together, queerbaiting allegations left and right, hao had two minutes and one chance and he took it to suggest sitting on hanbin's lap, expose their dynamic, grab his hands and his thigh https://t.co/VQ8nrOy5k9
