During the dinner, they both stole glances at each other, yet when Shan looked at Hyun, Hyun didn't see him and vice versa. It was so funny for others to see their interaction and feel the tension in the air when one spoke up.
"I'm going to the toilet," Shan said when he stood up, just that others around him heard him. What was funny was that everyone could see Hyun was trying to listen to every word Shan said.
So it was no surprise that Hyun stood up a few seconds after Shan and followed him to where he was going. Under the pretense that he was going to the toilet too, he found Shan already washing his hands. Hyun stopped next to him.
"Hi," he said softly and shyly. Somehow, he was not feeling himself. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time that somehow they felt like strangers to each other.
"Hi," Shan replied with a bit more stress and emotion than he originally intended.
