Chapter 15

Daesung was waiting. Jiyong had urged him to end the call with Seunghyun, but now he was on the phone himself. So he thought about taking his own phone and call Seunghyun back, tell him what had happened. As he reached for his phone in the side pocket of his pants, he remembered he had left the phone in the car. He took a couple steps towards the vehicle, but before he got the chance to open the door, Jiyong beckoned him.
“Daesungie, come.”
And he clutched Daesung’s hand in his own.

Jiyong looked somewhat aghast.
“Ani, I didn’t hear. What did you say?”
Jiyong sighed.
“This is stupid, isn’t it?”
His eyes were focused on the blonde that was standing right in front of hi
