"Erm..." Ma Ri stood up awkwardly while Ho Seok cleared his throat, looking down with a guilty expression.
"So?" Mi Rae sat beside him as he noticed the tense environment before approaching them.
"What made you wasted like that? It's bad for your health. You should know it by now. There can be pros and cons in everyone's life. You can't let yourself break during the tough times, just as you shouldn't get carried away in the good ones. Got it?" His voice was calm, meant to reassure Ho Seok, though he was far from skilled at comforting others.
"You should get some sleep. Or... do you still want to be grounded?" Mi Rae shot Ma Ri a sharp look, his voice was cold.
"Ah! Yes!" Ma Ri quickly bolted for the stairs but hesitated, curiosity keeping her from leaving entirely. She lingered just out of sight, straining to hear their conversation.
