"She should be back by now," Jungwon said, his eyes on the front door that anyone had yet to come in or out of. The rest of the party seemed to continue on its own, but he and his friends were seated at one of the tables, waiting.
"Relax, buddy," Heeseung told him. "You miss her that much?"
"No, I just have this feeling that-" Jungwon cut himself off, not wanting to finish his own sentence. "Let me call her."

"You again? I thought I blocked you," Jungwon said harshly. He did a double-take at his screen, his eyes going wide at the contact name. "Why the fuck do you have her phone?"
