When the young women finally got out of the house, the evening was already looming over the city. The lanterns were lit, throwing colorful lights over the pathways and buildings.
Jun-Ho and Shin were waiting for them outside in the courtyard. Like it happened so often lately, Yoon-Yi's eyes flicked to Shin first, taking in his appearance with keen eyes.
Despite the festive atmosphere, Shin had stuck to the predictable black and white combination, though the costume he was wearing looked new. It also had a slightly flashier style than his usual attire.
For the first time in his life Shin actually spent time considering what to wear, thinking he wanted to look better that night. The current clothes were a gift from the general, but he never wore it. Up until that day they felt too good for him, now they were not good enough. Berating himself for thinking such ungrateful things, Shin had put the clothes on and decided to stop worrying about his appearance.
