It was raining lightly when they met. Rather, when their group of friends met for dinner. They haven’t seen each other in a long time. Life happened, people who were once close grew apart. Yet somehow, here they all were.
Junjin was the first to greet the tall man who just came in. “Oh, hyung! You’re here. Come and sit, the others are on their way. Do you want beer?”, he said.
Eric let out a hearty laugh, “Jin-ah, you’re still an alcoholic”, he teased.
