34 : Count To Love

Lee Han: What are you doing this for?


Protagonist: ...


What now, and why?
What I ate while tiptoeing around you
Even with this chip on my shoulder, I’m full.
The coffee I haven’t even had a sip of for an hour is
It’s gone bland, like us.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Because of you, I feel so suffocated I could lose my breath.
How many seconds until you cool off?
2 days... It’ll be a while before it’s resolved.
All I can do is sigh, seriously...

After one big blowup, it’ll soon be something small,
Just because I sighed wrong once,
you go and get angry again, and my insides keep burning black.


?? : Hey, hey, they’re fighting over there


?? : I’ve only seen couples fighting in street drama, but they really exist...


People around us start gathering.
I don’t want to become a spectacle for people like this.
So I keep holding back and holding back,
Why do you keep digging at my heart?
I’m human too, you know—I can get angry!

Whenever we fight, it always lasts two days.
I was just trying to hold back three times...
What’s so great about this love,
that I’ve held back five times.
I guess I’m a pushover.

Why don’t you understand when I sigh
I’ll hold my breath for just 3 seconds and talk.

What is love, really.
Like a five-year-old child,
I really hate myself for just counting numbers.
