Chapter 66
As they arrived in front of the house, both of them took out their phones at the same time. Hongju did it to double-check if his phone was still off; Mu-gyeong did it to receive a call from someone.
“Yeah.”
A loud voice came through the receiver. Maybe because he had just stepped close to Mu-gyeong, the pronunciation came through fairly clearly.
—About what you asked the other day. Around that person...
Right as it reached that point, Mu-gyeong parted his lips and cut the other person off.
“I’ll call you back later.”

“What are you staring at? Just get inside.”
Mu-gyeong snapped and pushed at the small of Hongju’s back. Hongju, faltering under the nudge of that hand, stepped through the front gate first.
