1. There is no fire right now.
"Oh, shit."
Seungah instinctively turned her head when Yoongi reflexively spat out an insult.
There are people who speak ill of others so openly and so adamantly...
With such surprise.
Moreover, it's quiet here and there aren't many people.
That's why it made such a strong impression on me.
what…?
Seung-ah has always kept her distance from things like cigarettes, alcohol, and badmouthing.
I couldn't help but let out a small sigh of dissatisfaction.
Did you hear me?
Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal.
Just as I was about to start walking,
Seung-ah flinched.
"sorry."
Wow, that's a surprise...!
When did it get to this point?
Wait, did I just curse in my mind?
Seung-ah was surprised again.
It was unusual for me to even think badly about someone in my mind.
A sense of guilt suddenly welled up inside me, and I couldn't help but frown.
Yoongi looked at Seungah strangely.
Seung-ah was taken aback and looked back at him.
"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about something... Is there something I can help you with?"
"Do you have fire?"
"...Huh?"
"A lighter. Do you have one?"
Seung-ah's mind went blank for a moment.
Huh, what is this guy...?
Would you ask someone if they have a lighter when you first meet them?
Do I look like I smoke?
Although I think prejudice is wrong,
But I don't look like that, do I?
I was having a fuss in my mind,
Yoongi waited quietly, then frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you."
"Huh? N-no...! You didn't talk to me at all..."
"You were saying bad things about me earlier, so I thought you might not like me."
"...Did you hear me?"
"I heard it. I knew it and I heard it. There's no fire right now."
What's that...
Seung-ah's mind is in chaos.
Yoongi is the most unconventional and free-spirited person Seungah has ever met.
He was a somewhat "tough" guy.
He looked expressionless and uninterested, yet he heard everything.
And I thought he probably hated me...
I'd deny it, but I wouldn't accept it either...
Seung-ah felt a little annoyed and swallowed the words she was about to say.
"I don't have a lighter. I don't smoke."
"I don't smoke either, cigarettes."
