Chapter 143
The seconds kept passing by, while the two people continued to remain silent. It almost seemed as though they had nothing more to say to each other. One was too absorbed in planning his next steps, while the other was too afraid of disturbing his thoughts.
It wasn't until sounds of voices came from somewhere nearby that Hyeon finally jerked awake. As his mind was pulled back to the current situation, he began to feel slightly embarrassed.
"I'm sorry you had to come out so late. Let me walk you back."
Hana shook her head.
"It's alright, I can go back by myself. Despite being so deserted, the streets are quite safe in this area, and I already know how to avoid the patrolmen. Besides, it's not good for you to get so close to that residence."
Hyeon understood her meaning. It wouldn't be safe for their plans if he were seen lurking outside the place where Jeong was currently living in. It was also not just any residence, but that of Jeong's father.
