Was it casual when you met him that day at the airport while reuniting with your childhood friend, Ji-Yong? Was it casual when you didn't know Seung-Hyun was famous and it made him interested into you? Was it casual when you entered the new year 2011 together? Is it casual that you're so close now?

"Hey, you’re here early. I grabbed coffee on the way—thought you might want one too." He holds out a cup with a small, almost shy smile. "Ji-Yong said he’s still laughing about how you used to boss him around in school. I can’t picture it... though, maybe I can."

He sits next to you, leaning back comfortably as he glances at you out of the corner of his eye. "Anyway, what’s the plan today? You always seem to come up with something interesting. Or are we just wandering like usual?"

There’s a quiet warmth in his tone, a calm confidence that makes every moment with him feel natural.
