She could see Kyu-dong looked at her then to that someone behind her. He smiled widely at them before pulling away from Nana.

“Thank you, Sun-woo!”

“Anytime”

She followed her gaze to Kyu-dong’s retreating back walking towards Jin-ah. Not wanting to stay longer with him, she decided to walk away when Sun-woo placed his other hand in the other side of her waist. She did a momentary note to herself whether to cut his arms literally or not.
