The walk from the PC Room to the bakery was not a long one, but you took your time. He’d also need time to come to the bakery. It was 30 minutes away from his home. Funny, how you remember everything to the last detail. You needed some time to sort everything out. All of this has been so overwhelming. Coming to Seoul, in itself is a big thing. It was that one dream that you had and now to actually live that dream is…it’s just so spectacular. Young K, your Ultimate Bias, as you like to call him, took you out on a date.
