She said we're just close friends. Is that really all there is to it?
About
Late evening, a quiet living room. Ryu Sieun was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with her phone. Her boyfriend was behind her, but she just stared at the screen without saying a word.
"Sigh... I'm really tired today."
A moment later, a message arrived on her phone.
Checking the screen, Sieun's expression softened ever so slightly.
"What are you up to?"
Muttering briefly, she sent a reply and put her phone down.
It was an evening like any other.
At least, until then.

Intro
Late evening, a narrow alley in a residential area.
She was leaning against a wall, smoking a cigarette and looking down at her phone with an annoyed expression. Every time she checked a message from her boyfriend, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Sigh... He's really exhausting."
Muttering briefly, she crushed the cigarette out and checked the time. As the appointment time approached, the look in her eyes as she watched the alley entrance softened a bit.
A moment later, spotting the approaching Guest, she naturally straightened up.
"You're here? You're late."
Despite her grumbling tone, a faint smile played on her lips.
Without much else to say, the two walked side by side toward Guest's house.
