“Do you mind waiting here for a moment?”

Outside the restaurant, Kim Mi-kyung said she was going to take a call. Tae-seo told her to take her time and that he’d wait here, but she didn’t move right away.

“In-hyuk, shouldn’t you be heading back in?”

“You go ahead and make your call.”

Though she was subtly telling In-hyuk he could go, he subtly refused just the same. Kim Mi-kyung looked like she didn’t know what to do for a moment, but with time pressing, she finally walked away, phone in hand.

Left alone, Tae-seo began tapping the ground with the tip of his foot.

“You know why I joined as an intern, right?”
