'widely'
━ Ah···!
━ Oh, I'm sorry.
I bumped into a stranger on the street. My bag fell to the floor, spilling everything inside. The man apologized, carefully repacked the items, and handed the bag to me.
━ Is there anything broken?
━ Ah... I don't think so!
━ sorry.
━ No.
He kept repeating his apologies, worrying about whether anything was broken until the very end. This man seemed really kind.
━ Well then, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
━ J, I···!
━ yes?
━ Ah... no. Go.
━ Yes, then.
The man smiled at me, nodded briefly, and went on his way. Actually, the reason I called him back, as he was about to leave, was probably because I fell in love at first sight. I thought I could be happy with that kind, pretty man with a sweet smile. But I didn't have the courage. I couldn't muster up the courage and sent him away. I really regret it. I should've at least gotten his number...
━ This fool... How could you let such a good man go like this...?
I hit my head with my fist and regretted it so much. Left with only regret, I headed to the university dance department.
━ Park Yeo-ju!
━ Ihara!
Iha-ra is my closest friend in our dance department. We met upon entering the dance department and exchanged greetings. We're studying Korean dance there. As soon as we entered, we changed clothes, warmed up, and chatted.
━ I met a really nice person a while ago.
━ Oh, has the iron-clad Park Yeo-ju finally found her soulmate?
Yes. I'm the most famous person in our department for being stubborn. Every single person I confess to rejects me, so it's only natural that I'm known for being stubborn. Even so, I did exactly as I was told, found my soulmate, but I lost her.
━ That's true, but I missed it.
━ Huh? You missed it?
━ I met this person by chance on the street, but I didn't even get his number.
━ You should have tried dating so you don't miss out.
━ I also regret it a lot...
━ Why is he such a person that you like him so much?
━ Just... I bumped into something and the stuff in my bag fell out, but he picked it all up and smiled.
━ If you drop something, isn't it natural to pick it up?
━ Still. He was so affectionate. And he was handsome too...
━ You're really completely lost, Park Yeo-ju. Why didn't you just confess?
━ Well, it's already in the past, so what can I do?
“Let’s start class.”
━ Hey, let's talk later.
And so the class began, and I focused solely on the lesson, ignoring any distractions. As I focused so intently on the dance, thoughts of that man began to fade from my mind. Before I knew it, lunchtime had arrived.
━ Park Yeo-ju, let's go eat.
━ You shoot today.
━ Okay, I get it. Anyway, I don't forget things like this very often.
━ Let's go quickly. I'm starving.
━ Wow... stir-fried octopus rice today... looks delicious.
━ Is there anything you don't like?
━ There are some that are tasteless.
━ What is it?
━ I don't know, let's eat.
As I was putting a spoonful of rice into my mouth, someone sat down next to me.
━ Can I sit here?
━ Hey, senior? Sit down.
'senior···?'
I looked to the side. It was the same gentleman I'd bumped into earlier.
━ uh?!
━ uh?!
