Haejin was at the same table.
Looking tired.
Dark circles under his eyes.
Like he hadn't slept either.
Yura next to him.
Talking animatedly.
He wasn't listening.
Just moving food around his plate.
Manager Park stood up.
Clinked his glass.
"Attention everyone! Today is Day Five. We have some free time this morning. Then this afternoon, our treasure hunt team-building exercise!"
Cheers erupted.
"At 2 PM, we'll gather in the courtyard. Partners will be chosen randomly by drawing lots. Winners get a special prize!"
More excitement.
"Use this morning to relax. Enjoy the resort. See you at 2!"
People scattered after breakfast.
Soorin headed toward the pool.
Needed to clear her head.
Process everything.
But Minjae caught up with her.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"Can I join you?"
"Sure."
They found lounge chairs near the shallow end.
Away from the main crowd.
Soorin put on sunglasses.
Tried to relax.
Minjae sat beside her.
"So. Ready for today?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
