“You said you were going to tell me why you left early yesterday.” Jiyong began as he rose from his seat with his plate in one hand while the other held onto his coffee mug. He made his way over to the sink, where Eunji was standing at, washing the dishes. He placed his plate and mug into one side of the sink. He leaned against the sink counter as his head went over to her. He placed his attention on her as she continued to wash the dishes. “Is it serious?”
