Second week of study.
I came back sooner than I thought.
It's only been a week
Something seemed to have changed in the meantime.
No, it was me who changed.
I shortened my speech a little.
I even held back my laughter for no reason,
I didn't even react unnecessarily.
The study atmosphere was still the same,
Every time I sit next to that person
My mind became a little more noisy.
I thought it was okay
It wasn't okay.
If we stay together
I hope it gets better again
Then I'm afraid I'll be left alone again
I was drawing the line little by little.
Eunseok didn't say much.
I just stared at the laptop screen
Sometimes I take notes,
Write down the questions you need to ask during the mock interview.
He said only what I needed to say.
So it was okay.
I thought I could keep my distance.
After studying
We ended up walking down the hallway together
It didn't seem like a coincidence.
Organize at a similar pace each time,
People who leave at similar times.
I tried hard to walk looking straight ahead.
But then he spoke.
“You talk less than last time.”
I turned my head slightly and looked at him.
He seemed to be trying to read my expression.
He was looking at me quietly.
I answered briefly.
“Is that so?”
There was a brief silence,
He said again.
“Are you keeping your distance?”
I couldn't say anything.
It didn't seem like he was waiting for an answer.
“Or maybe I did something to make you uncomfortable.”
He said so,
I averted my gaze for a moment.
This time
He walked out ahead of me.
I am
I stood there looking at his back.
I was right to keep my distance,
Why just that one word
Did your heart waver?
To be exact,
The fact that he noticed
I felt like I was falling apart for no reason.
