Ye Rim made it safely to Dr. Kim's car parked across the street. He was waiting outside the vehicle, and the couple awkwardly greeted each other.
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Ready?"
"Ready."
The doctor opened the passenger door for her before taking his seat in the driver's seat. Ye Rim used the cell phone light to check if she was fastening her seat belt the right way, as she didn't want to go through another vexing moment inside Dr. Kim's car. He noticed this, and to help her, he turned on the car's interior lights as he started the engine.
He noticed in the rearview mirror that his company for the night wasn't wearing any makeup and that her left eye was red and a bit swollen.
"Sorry I'm late". She finally spoke, as they drove by the first corner. "A lot of crazy stuff happened."
