"My aunt and I will be on a trip for a week. I'll tell you when I come back."
That was the reply Jungtae received from Woojin after messaging him repeatedly since he got home from the beach.
"A trip?"
Jungtae's thoughts wondered why Woojin's message felt cold. While thinking about Woojin, he felt a pang of guilt again.
Three days passed.
Jungtae didn't receive a single message from either Woojin or Owen.
On the third day, he decided to visit Owen's apartment. He grabbed his jacket, took a cab to Owen's apartment.
When he reached the door, it was half open. Voices drifted from inside. Haneul and Owen were talking.
"Do you actually like Han Jungtae?" Haneul asked, his tone raised.
Jungtae stopped just outside the door, trying to listen to what they were talking about.
Owen didn't answer right away.
"I thought you were just playing with him," Haneul continued.
