"Seonghwa," Hongjoong called out to him as soon as they were dismissed for lunch.
"I still need some time, Hongjoong. I'm sorry," Seonghwa apologized.

"Please be patient with me, I know it's hard not being the way we used to be but I'm trying really hard to just be your friend again, even if eomma still doesn't want me to have anything to do with you," Hongjoong breathed into the phone.
He pushed aside one of his curtains to check the driveway.
No one. Eomma was still at work.
On the other end of the receiver Seonghwa sighed, "I know. I'm trying too."
