Jisoo paused in the doorway. “…yes. Yes, I’m going to see him.”
“…I won’t judge you.” Jihoon rubbed his back a little. “It’s been years since he came here. I won’t pretend I understand, but… take care of yourself, okay?”
“Thanks, Jihoon.”
When Jeonghan walked in he flinched, blanked, and froze in the middle of the room.

“Would it have? Really?”
“Yes. Of course.”
