We've been dating for four years. At some point, Taehyung and I started talking less frequently, and naturally, the frequency of our contact also decreased. Still, we occasionally go on dates. I could have easily considered not going, but... what on earth does Taehyung think of me?
"Taehyung, I heard this place is delicious. Should we go there?"
If you always make suggestions like this, the answer you get is
"Well, I guess it won't be that great."
It was a negative sentence.
"Taehyung, what are you doing??"
"It's nothing."
A clear yet uncertain answer that he doesn't want to continue the conversation. He seems like a completely different person than he was at the beginning of the relationship.
"What are you doing, Yeoju??"
.
.
"Happy birthday, heroine! I love you so much."
.
.
"Do you have time today? If you have time, let's go here!"
.
.
..I used to be like this. I have no idea how I ended up like this.
"Taehyung, can we talk for a bit?"
"Oh, then"
"...let's go to the beach and talk"
"You like the sea, right?"
"... okay"
Taehyung and I didn't pay much attention to each other's appearances, put on our shoes, and boarded the elevator together. As the elevator hummed and descended, we didn't say a word.
We got into the car at the parking lot and headed to the beach. As usual, there was no conversation during the ride. In the past, we'd be fully engaged in conversation, from seatbelts to trivial matters.
"I've arrived"
"...good work"
We began to walk slowly along the beach, slowly taking in the scent of the sea and its unique atmosphere.
"What were you trying to say?"
"Taehyung over there"
I kept mulling over what to say in the car, but when I tried to answer, my mouth wouldn't open properly. Still, I swallowed hard, determined to answer as best I could.
"I...Taehyung..."
"Oh, tell me"
"What's our relationship?"
"..."
"Why are you asking that?"
"Just... don't you think we've grown too distant these days..?"
"I don't feel as emotional as I used to."
"...Yeojuya"
"uh..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Can you please wait for me for a moment??"
"I still...clearly love you..."
"I can't treat you as well as I used to..."
"I think it's a period of boredom..."
"I'm so sorry..."
Taehyung told me his honest feelings and thoughts, and I cried without realizing it. And on the other hand, I felt a little sorry. It felt like I asked too suddenly... I felt like I couldn't wait for him...
I wanted to hug Taehyung and comfort him, telling him it was okay and that it wasn't his fault, but I couldn't do that because of the atmosphere.
"Taehyung, it's not your fault."
"Let's take a little time."
"..Are you saying..let's..break up..?"
Taehyung was still choking on his tears from earlier.
"No. We're just going to spend some time apart without any contact or conversation."
"I was just saying I wanted to be alone for a while, not that I wanted to break up."
"good"
"See you later."
"Okay, then."
Although my heart ached somewhere, I still saw Taehyung's faint smile.
After some time, we met again and fell in love again.
