Decision To Leave

"So... Everything ends today, then?"

Ah Yeon looked at Lee Min Hyun who was sitting next to her on the balcony with a hot cup of coffee in his hands. The past two days were rather hectic for him - the constant back and forth with the lawyers, exhausting, lengthy police interviews, and meetings with people whose jobs he did not even know existed, were much more draining than anything he had the chance to do before. 

What he found the most disappointing in all that, however, was not the neverending stream of papers to sign or people to meet, but the fact that with all that paper-signing chaos, he barely had an opportunity to see Ah Yeon, especially since he knew that once everything was finally over, he would probably never see her again. 

Min Hyun gulped his coffee, forgetting that it was still cold, winced from the burning sensation on his tongue, and stuck it out like a dog, perhaps in a weird attempt to help it get colder.
