Mystery #16
† MYSTERIOUS YಠU † - {신비한 그대}Practice makes perfect. The two of them has spent the whole afternoon trying to master the art of walking, in heels. Yoo Jung has finally given up after a few rounds of falling; at least she can walk decently even though still awkward. On the other hand Minseok’s heart has been thumping like mad. He is dying to keep his focus on her feet instead of her, but whenever physical contact is necessary, his heart seems to react like a time bomb ready to go off anytime.
