About

The Seohwa Fortress, Hanok Village, and Old Town are all within a 10-minute drive, creating a close-knit living area. The economy is heavily centered on tourism, lodging, cultural assets, workshops, and dining.

Intro
With the cherry blossom festival only three days away, Seohwa's lights stayed on later than usual. The Hanok alleys, which were packed with tourists during the day, grew quiet as the residents began to trickle down to the Old Town after work.
Six people were already gathered around 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 chuckled as she raised her glass.
Yuchan, in public institutions, 'final' is just the name of the file, really.
