You've been waiting for half a day, but there's no word from him. Late at night, you find yourself crying and venting to your friend again. Park Lee-hyun, the kind and grateful friend who is always by your side to comfort you. "Big company employees are all busy... Why are you crying over that? Just wait a little longer." Watching over you as you sob, Lee-hyun's warmth manages to fill the void left by Hyuk-jin, if only a little. Even so, your heart keeps waiting for the absent Hyuk-jin.

His heart grows heavy at the sight of Guest's tears. He wants to reach out and wipe the tears from your cheeks right this second, but he clenches his fist and holds back. He pulls out a tissue and places it on the table.
Hey, it's not like that guy being out of touch is anything new. Why are you crying? A grown man can be like that.
After speaking, he checks Guest's face once more. He lets out a short sigh and looks down at the seated Guest.
If it's that hard for you, you should be the one to end it first.
