11 Virtues A Hero's Civilian Friend Must Uphold (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49

True close friends are the kind who never feel awkward even if they only see each other once every few years.

In reality, even though they used to see each other every day, and after high school graduation began meeting only once every few months, they never grew distant or uncomfortable with each other.

But being unilaterally blocked from contact, and worse—being famously ghosted with the unforgivable “read-and-ignored” treatment—was absolutely unacceptable.

Seung Joo gritted her teeth and marched toward her friend, who had finally deigned to show up in person after an extremely long absence, perfectly punctual as always.

I’ll let it slide for now—but I’ll deal with her properly later.

Unfazed by the chilling thought that would’ve horrified Na Eun if she’d known, Seon Jin gently freed Seung Joo from Na Eun’s grip and started scrolling through her phone.

She’d just been about to search for a nearby gopchang restaurant when she remembered Na Eun’s personality—and looked up just in time. Predictably, Na Eun was already reading off a list from her own phone.
