WITH a playful glint in his eyes, Haneul said, "I think you're more adorable than handsome."
Lee Haru blinked in surprise at his response, clearly not expecting him to engage in playful banter. Yet, the unexpected interaction seemed to make him even more enthusiastic. Leaning in with a bright smile, he asked, "What's your name, hyung? I'm Lee Haru, by the way. Just call me Haru—I don't mind."
"I'm Kang Haneul." Haneul paused for a moment before adding with a playful lilt in his voice, "But why are you calling me 'hyung'? For all you know, I might be younger than you."
"No way! Didn't you say I'm adorable, hyung? That means I have to be younger." Lee Haru suddenly pouted, crossing his arms. "Besides, you're obviously taller than me, so you have to be older."
