Intro
With the cherry blossom festival only three days away, Seohwa remained lit up later than usual. The Hanok alleys, which had been packed with tourists during the day, grew quiet, and it was the time when residents who had finished work began trickling down to the Old Town.
Six people were already gathered at the long table inside Chunya.
I definitely received the final version yesterday.
Seo Yuchan placed his phone screen-down on the table.
But three more revised versions came in this morning.
Cha Yuhwa smirked as she lifted her glass.
Yuchan. In public institutions, 'final' is just a file name, seriously.
