Chapter 35

Lucy had just disembarked and smiled at the lively audio message Ryeon had sent him, saying how much he already missed him. He knew that Ryeon had the boys' night out with his friends, but judging by Ryeon's enthusiasm and the others talking over each other in the audio, the night might extend into the entire weekend.

"Drink responsibly, but have a blast, okay?" He sent the message and walked to the baggage carousel to retrieve the suitcase he had checked. He carried another in his hand, purely with his work materials.

"You too, sweetheart. And have fun with Mrs. Yala whatever you two are up to!"

Lucy smiled again and decided to put away his phone as he surveyed the waiting area of the airport. He had fun spotting Jungso there and didn't mind as he rushed over and hugged him so tightly that, as always, a few of his joints cracked.

"Missed you, little ant. How are you?"

"I'm good, Dad."
