It's a cold midwinter. It's a quiet afternoon, and people are walking down the street, their eyes full of memories. It's also the warmest time of the day. And in the middle of it all, a man and a woman are standing facing each other. It seems like their relationship is over.
"I need to have a real sister."
The man suddenly looked like he was about to cry. From then on, the woman's expression didn't change at all. It seemed like her heart had already grown cold towards him.
"You're lying to the very end."
"Big sister"
"This has been fun so far. I'm being fooled."
Do you feel the same way about other women? The woman with the ugly expression then took a step back. The cold snowflakes piled up between the two of them, as if deciding their point.
The man who had been gazing at the woman wiped away my tears and spoke, his face still showing sadness and sorrow.
"Are you sure you won't regret it?"
As he finished speaking, the woman gave a pitiful smile. The tail of her mouth rose firmly for a moment before falling again quite quickly.
"I... regret the times we've spent together."
「「・・・・・・・・」」
"You too. Is it a mistaken woman who doesn't want to meet you?"
"What do you mean..."
Don't say anything to me like "I'll give you what I gave you again." Instead... don't think you'll ever appear before me again. The woman, having clearly communicated her intentions, studied the man's expression for a moment, then turned around without a word and walked my way.
The man gazed upon the woman's back without a trace of dimples. Tears flowed down his face without any sign of stopping. Even those passing by seemed so generous that they stopped in their tracks.
When the woman finally recedes from his sight... as if he had been waiting for so long, he will wipe away his tears and laugh forever, saying a word with a mocking sneer that unfortunately has turned his joy into frost.

"Yes, we drew so many."
"Snowman here."
A woman with a red nose and sheep balls from the cold entered one of the pubs. It was the same woman who had said goodbye to the man earlier. Her name was Snowman. Her friend from work and roommate, Kim Taehyung, called out to her.
He walked over to Taehyung and sat down, dropping his bag on the chair next to him as Taehyung slammed the drink along the glass.
"...Riya to the very end, really."
"Why? I don't know."
"I can't break up with you. Is there anyone who won't regret it?"
Hearing what Yeoju said, Taehyung took a sip of his drink, then put his glass down and said,
"That guy should have seriously abandoned him."
"······that's why"
I'm sure he'd played around with her heart once or twice. His relationships with women were so complicated. Oh, so my Sol-ju has fallen for someone like that. With a sigh, Maltu's Yeo-ju looked down at the empty bottle and said, "It's truly a disgrace to the family of psychologists."
As Yeo-joo said, Yeo-joo and Tae-hyung both work in the psychology field. The main character is a psychological counselor, and Tae-hyung is a criminal psychologist. The reason they got close, became friends, and even ended up living together is because they work in the same profession.
"I was stupid to think he was okay."
"Yes, it's stupid."
"Why is there no one around me who is close?"
The hostess's hand went for the soju. Yeoju soon caught up with my glass and emptied it in one go. Seeing her like that, Taehyung gave her a bitter smile and then swallowed the remaining alcohol in his glass.
"From now on, I will meet men with my permission."
"What? Can a person kill twice? Don't fall in love."
"You're laughing, I've heard that sound 10 times."
"...A lot."
Taehyung immediately held out his glass to the hostess. Yeoju joined in, clinking her glass against him. The hostess then put down the drink she was about to take. So, as if she still had something left to say, she opened her mouth indulgently.
"Should I quit my job?"
"Why suddenly?"
"But I think my interest has waned a bit."
"For the front yard?"
"... No, just... Overall."
I realized that knowing so much about other people's hearts isn't a good thing at all. Every time I date, I'm constantly suspected... If I lie, everything comes out... and my relationships are getting worse. I can't trust people, not even once, so every moment is filled with anxiety and I feel lonely.
The female protagonist confessed that she thought this was the time when the girls had gathered, like many others, and Taehyung looked at her. Yeoju, who had her eyes on her soju cup, didn't realize Taehyung was looking at her.
"Please stop. I'll try harder."
"Can you eat me and keep me alive?"
"Why don't you start talking about your husband when you live together?"
"Oh... is that a terrible suggestion?"
A loud smile appeared on the hostess's lips, signifying that she accepted Taehyung's suggestion as a joke.
Taehyung listened to the lament of the female protagonist Shinse so much that in the end, not even a drop of alcohol reached his mouth afterwards...
(The hostess drinks it.)
The house where the two live together.
Taehyung came into the house with the hostess, whose mental state was affected by alcohol (?), and had her lie down on the living room sofa. He took off her coat.
"Haaam. Kim Taehyung~"
"Yes, why?"
"Kim Tae-hyo~ This is my hairstyle today."
「「・・・・・・・・」」
"He was a really bad guy... but that's just the kind of guy he was."
「「・・・・・・・・」」
"...Strangely, my heart aches..."
It's not strange, it's real. She still had feelings for him. Seol Yeo-joo said that's not true! ... She cried earlier, but even though I know it was just an act, it still hurts. Crying alone, her lips fell flat on the cushion and she quickly fell asleep. Taehyung sat quietly on the floor, watching the main character.
Taehyung looked up at Yeoju and carefully placed her bag, which he had been carrying for her, on the table, before turning his gaze back to Yeoju.
「「・・・・・・・・」」
"Just when you thought it was over, you'll see it's different."
Taehyung said as he stared at the sleeping hostess. His arms were leaning on the table and his jaw was clenched as he gazed at her, a small wave rising in his gaze.

On an ordinary day, someone ends their love,
Someone wanted the love to end.
And the other one is,
I've loved someone without anyone knowing.
