Seo Yujin smiled at his words. "Thanks a lot."
"No worries," LianHua brushed it off. "You don't have to stress much about it. I understand how you must have felt, and that didn't make it comfortable to tell anyone… so I'm not blaming you for anything at all." He smiled.
Then LianHua added, "So don't worry, because we all won't hold it against you for not telling us about it. We're cool about it. We always will be," he added with a smile.
Seo Yujin paused. And so did everyone in the room. There was silence as they stared at LianHua after he spoke, as though he had said something shocking.
LianHua noticed the silence and looked around, confused. "What's wrong?" he smiled as he looked at them. "What did I say wrong? It's true though, right? You guys won't hold it against him for not telling us about this… right?"
There was silence again. Everyone cleared their throats as they looked around; it was an awkward moment.
