W. 5pm
Seokjin and Soobin left the love house and slowly headed to the car.
In the yard where the sunlight shines softly, the shadows of two people are long
It's stretched out.
Seokjin said as he opened the car door.
“Get on first.”
“Oh my, thank you.”
Subin bowed her head slightly and carefully sat down in the passenger seat.
The wind coming through the window slightly ruffled my hair.
The car starts up and slowly accelerates with a soft engine sound.
I went out of the alley.
There was silence for a while.
The air was filled with soft pop songs playing on the radio.
Subin spoke first.
“Today… the weather is really nice.”
“That’s right. I thought it was going to rain, so that’s a relief.”
Soobin smiled slightly as she smoothed her hair with her fingers.
“A day like this is perfect for a drive.”
Seokjin nodded slightly.
“So that’s why we decided to take that route today. Towards Ikseon-dong.”
“Oh— the atmosphere there is nice.”
Soobin tilted her head slightly and asked playfully.
“But you’re good at choosing date courses like this?
“Do you have any experience?”
Seokjin shook his head and smiled for a moment.
“No, that’s not it. I just thought a quiet place would be nice.”
“You like quiet places.”
Soobin smiled as she looked out the window.
“I have a feeling Seokjin would be popular even in noisy places.”
“What does that mean?”
“Just~ It has a certain vibe. Even when you speak, it’s a bit low and calm.”
Seokjin smiled for a moment, then turned his gaze forward.
“Really? I didn’t know.”
Soobin burst out laughing and turned around slightly.
“You really didn’t know? There’s something about the atmosphere.”
“Um… is that so?”
Seokjin looked out the window and smiled.
His expression was gentle, but he seemed to be slightly avoiding something.
Subin looked at Seokjin's profile for a moment without saying anything,
He said with a small smile.
“But, Seokjin, are you always this calm?”
“Well… I guess so.”
When Seokjin gave a short answer, Soobin nodded and smiled.
“I guess that’s why I’m more worried for no reason.”
Seokjin turned his head for a moment and looked at her.
“Do you care?”
“Yes. Just…”
Soobin turned her gaze out the window and smiled slightly.
“Sometimes, when I see quiet people, I wonder what they are thinking.”
Seokjin smiled as if thinking for a moment.
“Well, most of the time I don’t think much about it. It’s just… quiet.”
“It’s comfortable.”
“That’s also its charm.”
Seokjin smiled lightly at Soobin's words.
The laughter spread through the air in the car for a moment.
Sunlight streamed through the dashboard, passing between the two people.
It was secretly reflected.
Even in the brief silence, a strangely comfortable warmth flowed.
.
.
.
The car stopped and the engine turned off.
The surrounding area is a quiet tree-lined path dyed in red maple leaves.
Fallen leaves fluttered in the wind and brushed against the ground.
Seokjin said as he opened the car door.
“I’ve arrived. It’s quieter than you thought, isn’t it?”
Soobin looked out the window and smiled.
“Wow… the autumn leaves are really pretty. I’ve only seen them in pictures, but
I didn't know it would be so quiet."
Seokjin gave a short smile, got out of the car, and closed the door.
“Yes. It seems like a good place for walking.”
The two walked slowly along the wooden path.
Soobin said playfully and stepped on the grass.
“Isn’t it a bit awkward to come to a place like this alone?”
“That’s right. You have to come with friends to create the right atmosphere.”
Seokjin answered plainly.
There was no excitement at the end of the sentence, it was just a natural attitude.
A slightly fallen maple leaf landed on Subin's shoulder.
Seokjin said, shaking it off lightly.
“I buried it here.”
“Thank you~”
Soobin smiled, but there was no anticipation or excitement in her smile.
It just feels like a pleasant walk with nice scenery.
Under the sunlight, the two walked side by side along the maple-lined road.
In a comfortable and natural conversation, Subin's inner thoughts are still
There was a little left.
The two people who had been walking along the wooden path for a while came across a small cafe.
We reached the alley.
A warm light flowed softly through the glass window.
The outside scenery and autumn leaves are reflected in the cafe window, making it look like a small
It looked like a picture.
Seokjin turned his head and said.
“There’s a cafe over there. The coffee and desserts here are good.”
Soobin looked out the window with sparkling eyes and smiled.
“Oh, the atmosphere is nice. I think it’ll be even prettier inside.”
Seokjin opened the door and went in first, saying:
“You go in first.”
The inside of the cafe was cozy and warm.
As I sat down by the window, the sunlight gently shone on the table.
The scent of coffee and slightly sweet dessert tickled my nose.
Soobin said playfully while looking at the menu.
“What should I drink today? I like something sweet.”
“Then how about a latte? They also have seasonal drinks.”
Seokjin suggested, pointing to the menu.
“Okay~ A seasonal drink. It feels like fall.”
Soobin smiled and chose the menu, while Seokjin slowly
I placed an order.
The two people sat down at the table after finishing their order,
I paused for a moment, looking out the window at the autumn leaves.
A comfortable atmosphere flows without a word,
It felt like the two people's footsteps and conversation flowed naturally.
“This place would be really nice to come here with friends later.”
Subin said calmly.
"That's right. It's quiet... and a perfect place to stop by on a walk. It makes me happy to see you like it."
Seokjin answered plainly.
In the sunlight and the scent of coffee, the two people took a moment to enjoy the autumn leaves and the cafe.
I was immersed in the atmosphere.
The coffee arrived, and the two raised their glasses.
We enjoyed the coffee in silence for a while as the warm scent spread.
Soobin said with a light smile.
“But, I have a question. On the first day, seeing everyone… Do you have any feelings for each other?
“Was there anyone going?”
Seokjin looked out the window for a moment as if thinking,
He said, slowly putting down his glass.
“Um… I don’t have anyone in particular in mind. Everyone just starts
“As someone who watches… I felt good about it?”
“Ah, that felt good…”
Subin clicked her tongue playfully and laughed.
“It feels like you’re avoiding it a little bit?”
“I’m not avoiding it…”
Seokjin smiled briefly and waved his hand.
“I was just a little cautious. Everyone didn’t know yet.”
Soobin smiled slightly when he heard that.
“So does that mean I can enjoy myself today without appealing?”
“Yes. We will be spending many days together in the future, so it would be too hasty.
Because there isn't any."
Seokjin spoke calmly, picked up the coffee cup, and took a moment to smell it.
Soobin nodded slightly and smiled.
“That’s right… It’s best to enjoy it slowly.”
There was a hint of regret in those words.
For the first time, my heart was filled with anticipation,
It felt a little bit like reality was sinking in.
Seokjin put down his glass for a moment and looked at Soobin.
“So, Subin, on the first day, what kind of person did you like the most when you saw everyone?”
Soobin blinked slightly in surprise, then smiled playfully.
“Me? Well… I’m meeting everyone for the first time, so I’m a bit…”
I was nervous, though.Still, there is one person who really stands out
“It was there.”
Seokjin nodded and asked with a slightly playful expression.
“Who was it? I wonder.”
Subin rolled his eyes as if thinking for a moment, then playfully said,
He shrugged.
“Well… it’s hard to say in particular. Just my first impression
“A good person?”
Seokjin smiled briefly and lifted his glass to take a sip of coffee.
Seokjin put down his glass with a brief smile.
“So he was just someone who gave me a good first impression. Um… Well, then, nothing special
“I guess no one stood out?”
Soobin smiled playfully and shrugged.
“Yes, we don’t know each other well yet. It’s the first day, so we’re just getting a feel for it.”
“How good was it?”
Seokjin lifted his cup, took a quick whiff of the coffee, and nodded slightly.
"That's right. I guess we'll just have to get to know each other slowly. As I said before, we'll be spending a lot of time together in the future."
In the midst of a quiet conversation, there was a moment of leisurely silence between the two.
It flowed.
Subin's initial excitement was a little bit realisticsinking
I felt a little disappointed, but still, I had a great day todaycomfortably
The satisfaction of having enjoyed and becoming closer to others is in a corner of my heartRemained.
