The dead phone was no different from a mere brick. Even if he wanted to check his contacts, if he turned on the phone again, he felt like he would receive a call from his secretary, and there was no way the location tracking wouldn't work.

"Should I go to the university?"

Maybe if he walked around there, he could meet familiar faces... If he was lucky, he might even run into Park Han-soo. So Tae-seo, who was about to take a step, hesitated again. His secretary had seen him hanging out with him lately, so he wondered if he shouldn't call him.

Then he thought about going to another hotel to buy some time to think, but that was also out of the question. If he used his card, it would be no different from sending a signal for him to come find him.

"This is driving me crazy."

It wasn't mourning, but he had nowhere to go. Thinking it was a good household, he had let himself be imprisoned. It was his fault for not being independent.

The phone, now useless, felt heavier and heavier as he put it in his coat pocket. And just as he was about to lift his head, thinking of going to a café or something, he felt something poking his index finger. It felt blunt yet sharp enough to prick his fingertip, so Tae-seo's attention turned entirely to his pocket.

Since he had only been carrying around his phone and wallet, he couldn't immediately recall what he had put in his pocket. So he absentmindedly squeezed and pulled it out. Although he felt like he could vaguely grasp what it was, with the sensation of it crumpling in his hand... When Tae-seo lowered his gaze and unfolded what he was holding in his hand, his pupils dilated.

"So, it worked out well?"

[You call that an excuse? Today's atmosphere was no joke, you know?]

Barefoot in slippers, Park Han-soo, with an ice cream in his mouth, switched hands while moving the phone to the other side. The phone was heating up, but since the other person didn't seem to have any intention of hanging up, it was a way to protect his ear.

He had arranged the blind date as a kind gesture, so he was willing to listen to some feedback, but that was only up to a certain extent. He didn't want to hear about what happened between the two of them for more than 30 minutes.

"So, if the blind date went well and the atmosphere was good, that should be enough, right? Why are you dragging this on for so long?"

[Well...]

As Park Han-soo bit into his ice cream and mumbled, Han Mi-rae hesitated, not as assertive as her usual fiery self.

"We need to schedule our next meeting. Will you answer if I contact you?"

"Huh? Tae-seo could contact you too, you know. And he said the atmosphere was good."

"That's true, but we don't know when he'll contact us."

"You're making a mountain out of a molehill. You had a blind date today."

But it was ridiculous that she was already pondering how to arrange their next meeting. However, on the other hand, considering how interested she had been in the other person and arranged the blind date, he could somewhat understand her feelings.

"We go to the same school anyway. What's the problem? If waiting for a call is too difficult and you don't have the courage to do it yourself, just naturally bump into each other at school."
