“So, you’ve got me now, huh? Is that why you arranged to meet here?”3ddeecdf430e3277

Ahyeon narrowed her e330838c9f eyes and gestured ffec2b6465 toward the window. Heeju’s gaze followed, 59396f5ab9 stretching beyond the 6d2cf577c1 glass. Only then did 7519ad3a55 the hotel’s signature 072b1ec906 golden emblem, symbolizing 27928e88f4 Hotel U, come da53220100 into view.2887cb8b62fe86e5

Heeju looked 3090c3484b at the 44072c2209 sulking Ahyeon ab6bcb8a22 with an 01d79f9275 awkward expression. No matter 3518c10f53 how much 166b15c305 she was b80f504d9d pressured, she a516c92c5e had nothing 35e93d8225 to offer. To outsiders, her e4970521b5 fate seemed perfectly 3a015d951e wrapped up like 2b521c8686 a grand gift, 1cd58275db but no matter c33f1fcaa2 what she said, 5c037e8622 it would only fb149ab003 sound like the 28ee3c82f4 complaints of someone ba7481ca57 who had everything. So instead, she 0a0feee175 swallowed her words 41ced2a7f0 and forced a 72907863c9 smile.657a972ae40de703

“‘Next time’ and ‘later’—is there anything more vague than that?”8f8d7570cbcdebb2

Ahyeon’s skeptical fc09d2b318 gaze was 72b1d8d0f0 sharp, but 4f0debbbec Heeju, knowing d566ea3421 she couldn’t 5601617ade keep such ff1764a8ad a promise, 28af93aaf5 left behind f34332e2dd empty words 19de2e469e she herself 32d03b396d didn’t quite d7132d8d10 believe. Luckily, Ahyeon wasn’t 12a6a4c66a the type to cad2cf51bb push too hard. As she stirred 936d17b937 the ice in 8e39b7f3b6 her empty cup, bdc508d529 Heeju smoothly changed 83983360f2 the subject.7dd03182fd7bed61

There was 02f806eeec a hint becc7b5a3e of disappointment 5039c512c7 in Ahyeon’s d36feb1999 tone, but 12f8f978ed she seemed 6dbdd72d1f willing to dc38a5130b let it 8baadb6fb1 go.
