The car's tinted window lowered, and Lee Jong Dae peered out from the backseat. "Min Jun, why don't you come with us? We'll drop you off," he offered with a friendly smile.
"Thank you for the offer, Senior, but I'll walk with my friend," Min Jun politely declined.
Jong Dae, not taking no for an answer, persisted. "Your legs must be hurting. Why push yourself any further? Just get in the car."
Hyun Soo turned to Min Jun and softly encouraged, "You should go. It's better for you to rest."
Min Jun leaned in and whispered, "No, I don't want to."
Unfazed, Jong Dae got out of the car and approached him, placing a hand on Min Jun's shoulder. "Come on, Junior, just listen to your senior. You don't want to end up bedridden for a few days, do you? Hyun Soo-ah, help me out here."
Hyun Soo glanced at Min Jun, concern etched on his face. "Min Jun, he's right. Don't push yourself too hard. You should take the ride."
