'Ugk, could he be any cuter than this?! Look at that lost puppy look he has!' Su-Jin squealed inside her head.

On the outside, though, she feigned helplessness and patted Jeong-Ho's arm to get his attention.

"Alright, stop looking like your whole world is ending. Also…" She hesitated before continuing. "I apologize if I acted too presumptuously earlier. Maybe I shouldn't have decided to stay behind without asking for your opinion. It's just that you didn't seem to want to go, so I made the call by myself."

To her surprise, Jeong-Ho shook his head and smiled. There was something reassuring in his tone as he replied.

"There is absolutely nothing that you should apologize for. Instead, I should be grateful for your consideration." 

"Then let's show support to those two." Su-Jin smiled warmly, staring in the direction where Do-Yeong's car disappeared.

"Mh, yes, let's do that." Jeong-Ho showed a feeble smile.

Then, all of a sudden, Jeong-Ho turned towards her. They were now standing face to face, with one looking down, while the other was peering up.

"My reaction earlier must have startled you. The way I ran out of the movie hall must have been really unsightly. I'm really sorry." Jeong-Ho lowered his head dejectedly.

"Not at all. If I had to choose between being scared witless by the ghost in the movie or by you, I would gladly choose the latter." Su-Jin joked.

"That's good to know." he chuckled softly. 

"Why? Are you perhaps planning on scaring me any time soon?" Su-Jin poked him in the chest with a finger. "I must warn you, I am pretty hard to scare." 

"Then I should give up on trying." Jeong-Ho went along with her joke. 

"Mhm." Su-Jin nodded with a grin, then added in a cheerful manner. "Instead of doing anything scary, why don't we go and have some fun? After that horrible movie I really need something to distract myself with before going to bed." 

Su-Jin repressed a shudder and stared at Jeong-Ho pleadingly. 

In truth, this was one of the main reasons why she refused to go along with Mi-Suk and Do-Yeong. There was no way she could go home right away but, at the same time, she wouldn't have been good company for two people who were acting all lovey-dovey in front of her. 

Hence, Su-Jin got the marvelous idea of refusing the drive and dinner offer. Instead, she decided to stick with Jeong-Ho in hopes the two of them might relax together. 

Luckily, Jeong-Ho seemed to be of the same opinion, because he immediately agreed.

As they started walking along the street, he glanced at Su-Jin from the corner of his eyes. A look of apprehension flashed across his face, but he took it back swiftly. However, he kept hesitating between opening his mouth and remaining silent.

As it happened, Su-Jin was too busy typing a message on her phone and didn't notice anything amyss. After she finished texting, she placed the phone back inside her pocket and lifted her eyes to look at him.

"Where do you want to go?" she asked. 

"Hm, I don't really know." he scratched the back of his head, returning a question. "Do you know any suitable places around here?"

"As a matter of fact I do." Su-Jin smiled widely. "Come with me." 

Saying that, she reached out and grabbed Jeong-Ho's arm. Then, with a sharp tug, she began pulling the man after her.

"Ji-Won, come on, don't be like this. It's the weekend, so let's go out to drink." Seo-Jun demanded. 

"We just had a business meeting. Aren't you tired?" Ji-Won sighed. 

The two had just returned from meeting the Ma family at their inn. The entire round trip lasted for more than an hour and a half. Adding to that a two hour meeting, it meant that they had been out and about for little under four hours. 

As a consequence, Ji-Won was tired and grumpy. However, compared to his usual style, right now he didn't feel the need to refuse an outing. In fact, he really needed a drink. 

Ever since that morning, Ji-Won's mood has oscillated between irritation and apprehension. At times, he found it difficult to focus and, for the first time, he was grateful for Seo-Jun's presence. During the meeting, Seo-Jun acted really professional, picking up where Ji-Won stopped and helping him secure the couple's agreement to collaborate with Kanji Tourism.

Just when he was thinking about this, Ji-Won heard his friend continuing his rant. 

"After a long, tiring day, we finally managed to secure a business deal with the Ma family. It's time like these we need to celebrate. And what better way to do that, than to have a drink?" 

"Alright." Ji-Won agreed as he parked the car. 

Hearing the unexpected word coming from Ji-Won's lips, Seo-Jun felt speechless. He gaped at his friend as though Ji-Won had suddenly lost his mind. 

"Ji-Won, are you alright? Are you feeling well?" Seo-Jun inquired, drawing himself closer to touch the other man's forehead. 

Ji-Won's eyebrows twitched and he mercilessly swatted Seo-Jun's hand away.

"Stop acting stupid and get out of the car."

As he said that, Ji-Won got out and slammed the door shut.

It took Seo-Jun another half minute before he realized what had just happened. 

"Ji-Won!" he cried out as he scrambled out of the car. "Are you serious?"

"Why? You don't want me to be?" Ji-Won quirked an eyebrow. "Fine! Then I take back what I said. You can go and drink by yourself."

With that, he turned his back on Seo-Jun and began walking towards his apartment. 

"No! How can I give up such an opportunity?! Kang Ji-Won… is willing to go out and drink with me. This is really a miracle come true." Seo-Jun snickered while he continued to tease. "Something must have happened to make you this upset." 

"I am not upset." Ji-Won muttered.

He lowered his head and frowned at the pavement. He really had no reason to be upset. But, then, why was he feeling so annoyed?

On the other hand, Seo-Jun looked as though Christmas had arrived early. With a large smile plastered on his face, he continued to laugh and tease his friend.

The two continued to bicker all the way to the place where they usually went to.
