About an hour had passed since Baek Seo-jin began waiting outside. Finally, Moriya Yuka and Kang Yu-ra emerged, followed by Han Se-hee and Lee Ha-yeon.

The moment he saw them, Baek Seo-jin hurried over.

"Se-hee, Ha-yeon! Are you both okay? Yuka, Yu-ra, are you alright too?"

Baek Seo-jin called Moriya Yuka and Kang Yu-ra by their names with a sense of familiarity. In his mind, the two were already his close friends.

"Baek Seo-jin."

When Moriya Yuka addressed him by name, Baek Seo-jin’s face lit up as he responded eagerly.

"Yes, Yuka. Are you safe?"

"Yeah. How long have you been waiting here?"

"Me? I’ve been here the whole hour. I was worried about you all."

"I see."
