By the time they left the mall, it was nearly midnight and decided to call it a night. Gayoon was extremely tired by then. They got into the car and drove off. Minho noted her exhaustion.
"Where do you live?" he asked. "I'll drop you off."
"Oh, uh…"
She was unsure whether to let him drop her off. If Junho found out she was on a date, he would probably march out of the house to interrogate Minho. For some reason, she felt that letting the two men meet was not going to end on a good note.
"You can drop me off at the nearest station!" she said. "I'll take a bus home."
"The last bus left an hour ago," Minho pointed out. "And I doubt the subways will run at this time. I'll drop you off."
Gayoon was hesitating. She quickly took out her phone and texted Junho.
"Ahjusshi, where are you?" she wrote. Within seconds there was a reply.
"I'm at the hospital, checking up on your partner," he replied. "Why?"
