over
.
━ Jimin senior···?
━ Do you know him?
━ Seokjin, just a moment...!
I was sure it was Jimin-sunbae, so I quickly headed over. Luckily, the person who looked like Jimin-sunbae was avoiding my gaze so much that he didn't even realize I was coming. If he'd known I was coming, he would have avoided me. At least Jimin-sunbae.
━ Senior···? You're Jimin, right?
━ No, that's not it.
━ That's right! Look at my eyes quickly.
Jimin-sunbae slowly raised his head. As I predicted, it was Jimin-sunbae. I'd missed him so much, so much so that I was so happy to see him like this that tears welled up in my eyes the moment I laid eyes on him.
━ I missed you···, senior.
━ We broke up.
━ Didn't you want to see me, senior?
━ ···Yeah.
━ Are you still really mad that I broke up with you? That's...!
━ No need to make excuses, it's all over. It was already three years ago.
━ No, senior. Listen to what I have to say.
━ Okay. I'll go. It seemed like you were going on a blind date, so I'm sorry for bothering you.
━ Yes, I like it!!
My senior kept trying to avoid me and leave, so I shouted that I liked him. I assumed those words would stop him. Fortunately, thanks to those words, he barely managed to stop walking.
━ I like you. I told you that I wanted to break up with you back then because I was threatened...
━ ···What? What are you talking about? Tell me clearly. What are you talking about!
━ Back when we first started dating, some senior female colleagues I'd never met before came to me and told me to break up. They said I'd hurt them if I didn't. So I had no choice. I really liked my senior, so I didn't want to hurt her. I'm sorry...
━ Ha··· My lady.
━ I really like and love you a lot...
My senior held me in his arms as I cried and comforted me. Thinking back on that moment, I felt so sad. I thought I'd never see him again, but I'll miss him forever, filled with regret.I thought I would live like that, unable to forget, but this moment is truly so happy, and now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it feels refreshing and everything has been washed away.
━ I'm sorry, heroine. I sent you away like that back then. I'm truly sorry...
━ Even if I were you, I would have just let you go back then···. Senior··· You were really angry at me, right?
━ Back then, I didn't know what was going on. When you suddenly said you wanted to break up, I was so frustrated and angry, and I hated myself so much. I'm so sorry, for not understanding how you felt back then.
━ Why are you sorry, senior?
Tiring
━ uh···?
"I've already paid the bill, so I'll just go. You seem like someone I really like, so have a good time. It was a short conversation, but it was fun. Thank you, Yeoju. Don't feel sorry for me :)"
━ When did you go···? I didn't get to say hello···.
━ Why, heroine?
━ Ah··· I went to the blind date with the guy earlier···.
━ Is it bothering you?
━ Oh, no.
━ Lady, would you mind waiting here for a moment?
━ Yes? Where are you going? Is it because I mentioned the guy I met on a blind date?
━ No lol I'll go and let you know when I get back. Just wait a little.
━ Okay, come quickly.
When I told him I understood, Jimin-sunbae went outside. About seven minutes later, Jimin-sunbae came running in. He must have been running for so long that he came towards me, panting heavily.
━ Where have you been that you're running like crazy? What if you get hurt?
━ I thought you'd wait. Have you been waiting long?
━ No? But really, where have you been?
Jimin handed me a bouquet of flowers he'd been hiding behind his back. I wondered where he'd been, and it turned out he'd bought me flowers. I was truly touched.
━ senior···.
━ Will you meet me again?
━ ···Like!!
I quickly accepted the bouquet and hugged my senior. Since breaking up with Jimin, nothing has made me this happy, but meeting someone I love like this makes me even happier.
Our temperature has been high at times, and quite the opposite, low at times, but I want to believe our temperature will never drop again. Even my temperature with yours almost vanished forever, but we met by chance the first time, and we're meeting again by chance now. Just as we met again by a difficult coincidence, our temperature will gradually rise together. It doesn't matter if it's late, but slowly, little by little, we'll reach 100.Towards °CIt will be filled.
━ I love you, heroine.
