The dinner was silent. Too silent, making Jackson rather uncomfortable.

"Hey Jin, how have you been?" Jackson asked, mkaing Jungah and Saeri look up. "I never heard from you since you and Jungah left university."

Jinyoung's eyes flitted over to Jungah, who returned her attention to her plate of food.
