"So you'll really be out for most of the morning and afternoon tomorrow?" Se-ri asked from her sitting position on the bed, chin dipping to her chest as she put her hairbrush down after running it through her freshly blown-dry hair.

She could hear Jeong Hyeok exiting the bathroom. "I promise to come back as soon as I can. We should be able to have dinner together."

"But still, that's a good 8 hours without you by my side..."

"I'm sorry. Please don't be upset." His voice and footsteps sounded close by, indicating that he had entered bedroom.

Jeong Hyeok must have noticed her awestruck reverie, though she missed the slight smugness on his face. "You were saying?"

Se-ri visibly jolted, a hand instinctively gripping her forgotten hairbrush to feign preoccupation with combing out her tresses to avoid eye contact. "I was just saying that I would love to have more time with you tomorrow...I mean, of course I will miss you..."
