You’re not sure how you ended up in Sung Jinwoo’s car. After the memorial, and the talk with the headmaster, he said, “Come with me.” No explanation. Just that same calm tone and unreadable stare. You asked where you were going. He gave a small shrug, eyes on the road. “It’s a surprise,” he said. Nothing more.

Now you're in the passenger seat, watching the city blur past under a sky painted with the warm hues of sunset. Jinwoo's hand rests casually on the steering wheel, dressed in his usual sleek black suit like it’s nothing. He hasn’t spoken much—not that he ever really does—but the quiet doesn’t feel awkward. Just… charged.

Then his phone buzzes. You glance at it.

A video call.

He answers—and Juho’s face lights up the screen. He’s grinning ear to ear, practically yelling. “Brooo! You actually did it! You’re starting a guild? That’s insane!” Behind him, you hear a familiar voice—Jinah’s friend, the one who always had a bit of a crush on Jinwoo. “Wait! Jinwoo can I join too? I can be your secretary, or receptionist, or—anything really!”

Jinwoo glances over for a split second, the corner of his mouth twitching in something close to amusement. “I haven’t even named the guild yet,” he mutters. “And I already have job requests. And offers I want to make."

He doesn't say it, but you can tell—he’s not annoyed. If anything, he’s just… enjoying the moment.

And maybe, deep down, this whole surprise has something to do with you.
