As Min Seo and Kyung Ho were about to serve the food, Jiho's voice stopped them in their tracks.
She spoke gently yet firmly, her expression softening as she addressed the situation.
"It's okay, just sit down, everyone can serve themselves," Jiho said with a warm smile, her eyes glinting with understanding.
Her tone was reassuring, emphasizing that there was no need for anyone to feel burdened with serving duties.
Min Seo and Kyung Ho exchanged a quick glance, noticing the kindness in Jiho's gesture.
As they nodded and took their seats, Min Seo and Kyung Ho exchanged a covert glance towards Jiho, their expressions now reflecting a mixture of confusion and doubt despite Jiho's reassuring demeanor.
Throughout the meal, an undercurrent of uncertainty seemed to linger, subtly affecting the atmosphere at the table.
Despite this, everyone began eating, focusing on their food while occasionally stealing glances at each other.
