When I opened the study room door,
My heart reacted first.
There was Eunseok.
I was sitting as usual,
It was a familiar expression,
It was a familiar posture—
Now everything looked different.
I didn't make eye contact.
Even though I know he's looking at me
I didn't raise my head.
When someone talks to you
I did react, though,
The voice was a little small
There was no more laughter.
The study is strangely
It felt like it ended quickly.
It's not that time is fast,
I was out of my mind.
When people start to organize one by one,
I covered the note
I thought to myself.
I should just go straight home today.
however,
Earlier than expected
He came over.
“Can I talk to you for a moment?”
I raised my head.
Eunseok was standing.
His expression was serious,
He seemed more cautious than yesterday.
“Just a little bit.
“I’ll finish it really quickly.”
I am
As if there was no reason to run away,
He nodded slightly.
A little bit away from the study room
I sat on the bench behind the building.
The sun was setting,
The surroundings were quiet.

He looked at my face for a moment and said.
“What I said yesterday…
“I’m sorry if I burdened you.”
I shook my head.
“It wasn’t a burden.”
“But there was no word,
“I was wondering if I had crossed the line again.”
That's what I mean
Because I'm too careful
Rather, I felt sad.
"no.
“I was just thinking about it.”
"so,
“Are you done thinking about it now?”
His question is
It was thrown slowly, but
In my heart
It was an answer that had been prepared a long time ago.
and
He spoke very quietly.
“…Yeah. I like it too.”

After looking at me for a while
I exhaled softly.
“I’m so glad.”
and
He sat quietly next to me.
we are
I sat there in silence.
The wind blew,
The sky darkened,
I heard someone laughing from afar,
Only the two of us who were there
At that moment,
I felt exactly the same way.
That night,
For the first time
I sent a message to Eunseok first.
Did you get home safely?
The answer came right away.
Yeah, I just got there.
And thank you.
I am
Without answering that
I turned my phone over.
Laughter
Keep coming out.
