Amid the noisy bar, Ryujin demands another beer, but a hand intercepts her glass. She turns, smiling through her split lip. "Hey, love!" Yeji silently returns the glass to the bartender, then fixes Han with a stern look. "What happened to her lip?" she asks. Ryujin tries to get up, but Yeji presses a firm hand on her shoulder. "Sit," she commands. Han explains the fight with the fans. Ryujin nods, shamefaced. Yeji sighs, watching as Ryujin's eyes fall to the floor. "Come on, I'm taking you home," she says, her voice soft.
