Shuri's eyes widened, locking onto the familiar light blue eyes in front of her.
She couldn't believe her ears.
Did he just call her Rin?
She was too shocked to move. His familiar presence, which she had missed so much, held her frozen in his embrace.
At that moment, she forgot where she was, lost in the sensations of the past colliding with the present.
Her lips parted as she was about to speak when Shik interrupted, "Dr Lee, is everything alright?"
The question jolted her back to reality.
Shuri immediately stepped back, breaking the intimate contact.
Noran's arms fell to his sides, and a flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes.
He longed to pull her back into his embrace, but he restrained himself, clenching his hand into a fist to control the impulse.
"Thank you for supporting me, Mr. Lee," Shuri said, her voice shaky but polite.
