The lights in the guest room gave a dim glow, and the night air carried the hushed voices of the guests. The party was coming to an end.
Min-jun sat on the sofa with Seung-joon, holding his hand. Seung-joon had not uttered a word since they came to the room, and Min-jun waited patiently, watching Seung-joon's face. Min-jun could tell Seung-joon was fighting with his inner feelings, trying to calm down.

The whole party had come to a standstill when Seung-joon confronted his grandfather, Kim Gun-woo, minister of land, infrastructure, and transport. Miraculously, Min-jun had managed to drag Seung-joon away before the minister could say anything to Seung-joon. As they walked toward the house, Min-jun saw people start whispering to each other. He wanted to look around, but he kept walking with Seung-joon nonchalantly.
