Chapter 36
"Let me know anytime."
The words Kang Se-heon had said at the hospital appeared exactly as a text message.
Tae-seo, who had pulled his phone halfway out of his pocket, pressed his lips together, holding back a smile.
At this rate, he’s just going to show up unannounced, isn’t he?
He recalled Se-heon's response when he had jokingly asked if he would come running if called—Se-heon had replied that he would arrive before being called.
With how often they were eating together these days, his workload at the company must have been piling up like crazy. Just yesterday, Se-heon's secretary had shown up in the evening, saying that his schedule couldn’t be adjusted any further.
In the end, they hadn’t even made it to the café and had to part ways in a rush. Maybe that was why Se-heon's messages had become even more frequent.
Tae-seo simply sent back a short reply: Having dinner with my parents right now, then shoved his phone back into his pocket.
After briefly being distracted by Se-heon's message, he turned his focus back to the meal. Holding his chopsticks, he hesitated over which side dish to pick. But nothing really appealed to him, and his chopsticks hovered in the air, unable to make a decision.
"Is the food not to your taste?"
"Huh? Oh...."
At Kim Mi-kyung’s question, Tae-seo awkwardly moved his chopsticks.
