Summer Night's DreamThe taxi pulled up to their apartment, both were still sitting in silence completely aware of the awkward dead air between them. Before Min Ho could finish paying the driver, Shin Hye already bolted out of the taxi and headed straight to the building’s entrance without glancing at him, let alone say a word.
‘Keep the change, thanks’ Min Ho quickly caught up to her and stood by her side as they were waiting for the elevator.
