Jung Seok appeared to be very pleasantly surprised with the pairing and he gave Yeon-Ah his entire attention.
"I am really sorry you are stuck with me." Jung Seok genuinely apologized to Yeon-Ah as soon as she approached him.
"But why?" she asked in confusion, standing next to him. As she continued to speak, a small smile formed on her lips. "I am actually very pleased to have you as a partner for this task."
"Thank you. But I am afraid you will change your opinion the moment we begin the task. Since I am not so good at sports, I might drag our score down." He sighed, looking down.
Based on how he sometimes wrung his fingers, or how he pressed his palms together from time to time, it was clear that Jung Seok wasn't faking it. He was honestly concerned about his upcoming performance.
