The telephone rang concurrently Yoo-hwa, who had shortly pulled her hand again, answered. Woo-hyun’s eyes hardened coldly after checking his telephone with a regretful expression. It was the face Woo-hyun made when he had work to do.

“Take it. It’s going to be noisy. I’ll shut the door.”

Yoo-hwa smiled brightly.

Splat, splat.

The tears of pleasure pouring from her eyes moist the butterfly’s wings.
