Perfect MatchJoohee and Kyungsoo averted their gazes from each other. They are not sure of what to say next. They got lost in the awkward silence.
"So," Kyungsoo quickly cleared his throat. "You're a doctor now?" Joohee nodded. She wanted to ask so many things, but her voice got stuck in . Just ask. Finally, she opened to speak.
"What about you?"
Kyungsoo scratched his head. What should he tell her? He can't mention his profession or she'll get suspicious. Joohee was still waiting for his answer.

"Hello, Joohee-ssi." Minhyuk appeared with a wide smile. "Minhyuk-ssi! What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you. You promised to give me back my shirt, right?"
"Oh, that's right. It's in here-" I was about to search for it in my bag when he grabbed my arm. "Don't be like that. Let's go for a drink." He suddenly decided and wanted to take me away. I was totally uncomfortable by his sudden ge
