INTERESTING, I GUESS?

HANEUL simply smiled and said, "It happens. I'm sure things will work themselves out."

It was only for a moment, but he saw how confusion flashed in Park Mirae's eyes, as if it wasn't the reaction he was expecting. But it vanished just as quickly, replaced by a practiced smile. 

"Yes, that's true," the other replied smoothly.

Haneul simply smiled, then reached for his suitcase and made his way towards the closet. It had three doors, leading him to assume that each of them had been assigned their own section. 

"Excuse me, but could you tell me which one is free?" Haneul asked, turning to Park Mirae in a polite tone.

"The one in the middle," Park Mirae responded. "Do you want help?"

"No, that's alright," Haneul said with a gentle smile. 

"Have you eaten lunch? We can go together if you want," Park Mirae suggested.
