The phone rang while I was on the elevator. Sunwoo checked the caller ID and pouted his lips.

"So, you said you were busy and couldn't come, but now you have time to call?"

For a moment, I thought about not answering and letting him stew, but then I realized I had no idea how Kang Jinwook might react, so I quietly pressed the call button.

"Hello."@@novelbin@@

* What are you doing?

The direct question made Sunwoo hesitate again. He sounded like he already knew something, which made him feel guilty for no reason.

"What do you think I'm doing? Just hanging around. Why, why are you calling all of a sudden?"

* I feel bad for saying I’d go and then not going.

Apologizing with Kang Jinwook? The more Sunwoo thought about it, the more it seemed like an odd combination.

"You don’t suit apologies."

* I’m worried.

Even though Sunwoo had thrown in a random comment, Kang Jinwook responded without hesitation. His tone was surprisingly warm, making it even harder for Sunwoo to get used to.

"Worried about what? All I’m doing is lazing around."

With that, Sunwoo responded a bit more gruffly. At that moment, the elevator stopped, and the door opened. A calm, quiet lounge greeted Sunwoo. Soft classical music played, matching the tranquil atmosphere.

* Are you outside?

It seemed like Kang Jinwook heard the faint music through the phone. Perhaps because he was a highly perceptive Alpha, his hearing was sharp.

Startled, Sunwoo scratched the side of his head and responded awkwardly.

* You’re not going for a walk, are you?

* Kim Tae-yeol?

* I heard Kim Tae-yeol is in Jeju. Are you meeting him?

* Go back early.
