As the night wore on, Lee Yoon-Ah and Tae-Ho's comfort in each other's presence grew. They pored over the note, deciphering the symbol's meaning.

Lee Yoon-Ah excused herself to shower, and Tae-Ho nodded, his eyes returning to the note. The sound of the shower stopping made him look up.

Lee Yoon-Ah emerged from the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel, her face hinting at embarrassment. "I don't have any extra clothes."

Tae-Ho nodded, playing it cool. "I have a t-shirt you can wear."

As they exchanged the shirt, their fingers touched, sparking electricity. But disaster struck.

Lee Yoon-Ah's towel slipped, falling silently to the floor. Tae-Ho's eyes widened, fixed on her naked form.

Lee Yoon-Ah gasped, covering herself with her hands. "I'm so sorry!" Tae-Ho exclaimed, turning away quickly, his face burning.

Lee Yoon-Ah hastily put on the t-shirt, her heart racing with excitement and mortification.

The tension between them was palpable, the air thick with unspoken emotions.
