Hyun Jung was glancing up at the clock every now and then. Time was ticking very slowly. The anticipation of what was going to happen in a few hours was making him feel agitated.
"Are you alright, Sunbae?" Eli asked.
"I'm fine," he said quickly. He was back at the precinct but his mind was preoccupied with something else.
"Officer Choi invited us to his house tonight," Eli informed him. "It's his daughter's birthday."
"Oh," Hyun Jung said. "I can't make it. I have to go somewhere."
"Where?" Eli asked, keeping her tone casual.
"I have a date," Hyun Jung lied.
"Really?" Eli asked, feigning astonishment. "Is it with someone I know?"
"Nah, probably not. She's not in the police."
"What does she do?"
Hyun Jung pondered his answer. "She's a rookie model."
"Oho!" Eli teased. "Sunbae, you're sly. Did you meet her on that movie set you've been visiting?"
"Yeah…"
