As the study was coming to an end,
A few of the crew members left first.
Who will clean up first,
Who will leave later?
Pretending not to care
I slowly packed my bag.
When I raised my head,
The only people left are me and Song Eun-seok.
Eunseok closes the laptop screen
He spoke quietly.
“Can we talk for a bit later?”
I unconsciously
I took a deep breath.
“Ah… yes.”
I answered without knowing it.
Why did you answer?
Why didn't you refuse?
Why do you try so hard to hide your excitement?
We sat in a cafe.
Near the study room,
A quiet place with not many people.
He ordered coffee first,
As soon as I sat down, I started talking.
“That was the story from back then.”
What do I mean?
I couldn't tell right away.
“…What is it?”
“Last time.
I asked you if you were keeping your distance.”
He said, turning the paper cup he was holding in his hand.
"in fact,
“I think I noticed it a little late.”
My heart sank.
What did you notice?
What does that mean?
“If I didn’t make you uncomfortable,
“Just… treat me like you used to.”
Old days.
The word "old" strangely stuck in my mind.
He said it casually, but
It wasn't too light for me.
I laughed awkwardly.
“When was it that long ago?”
He paused
I smiled slightly.
“After the blind date.”
Because of the heart sound
I'm afraid you won't hear my voice
I closed my eyes for a moment.
That person
Didn't keep a distance.
No, rather
It was closer.
Speak clearly,
Laugh comfortably,
Occasionally we made eye contact
I dodged slowly.
I kept thinking about it.
why?
Why are you doing this now?
What am I misunderstanding?
Even then, I just thought he was a man of few words.
Now that I look at it
I wondered if that person could be so active.
I could hardly drink coffee.
He finished drinking and put down his cup, saying:
“If you have time after studying,
“Can we talk sometimes?”
I couldn't answer anything.
That person,
With a face that seemed to know but not know
I got up from my seat.
“Then, go in carefully.”
That means
When the blind date ended that day
It was the same thing,
The feeling was completely different.
I was left alone there.
Listening to the sound of ice slowly melting in the glass
Something just happened
Maybe I misunderstood
I kept thinking about it.
Has he changed?
I wonder if I didn't know at the time.
or not,
Then and now
Am I the only one who finds this so serious?
