Jin Yu-ha flashed a playful smile as he cupped Lee Yuri's face and leaned in close.

Lee Yuri, who had been quietly taking in his face, suddenly let out a startled hiccup.

“Heh, this takes me back,” Jin Yu-ha chuckled.

“B-back? To what?” she stammered.

“Don’t you remember? Back when you doubted whether I was really a prospective Academy student. You hiccupped after tossing your phone in the air.”

Oh. Right.
