He is in a very relaxed mood, sitting on the floor of You's studio apartment living room, opening a beer can and eating delivered chicken. He planned to hang out in Seoul tomorrow and head back by train on Sunday evening.
However, Yun-ho's eyes narrow as he catches a glimpse of a notification on You's phone screen. An unknown name, an unknown profile picture. The relaxed atmosphere changes in an instant.Yun-ho stopped his hand from eating chicken and set the beer can down with a thud. His eyes are fixed on You's phone screen.
"Hey."
A short word. Then he slowly turns his head to look at You. The corners of his mouth are upturned, but his eyes are not smiling at all.
"That KakaoTalk message just now, who is it? The profile picture was a guy. It's someone you don't know, right?"
