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, had grown quiet, and it was the time when residents getting off 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 chuckled as she lifted her glass.
Yuchan. In public institutions, 'final' is just a filename, really.
