- I don't have a lighter. I don't smoke.
- I don't smoke either.
Yes…? You look like you smoke a pack a day..? Seung-ah muttered to herself before sighing and reflecting. I was just a bundle of prejudice. This trash. I am trash… Seung-ah, who had been torturing herself excessively, spoke carefully to Yoon-ki with a face filled with apology.
- sorry..
- …? What is it?
- Yes? Ah... You judged it by its appearance.
- No, that's not it.
I don't understand why you insist on apologizing. Yoongi looked really puzzled. Really? Seungah, who is secretly stubborn but has a perverted mind, thought to herself after hearing this and found herself convinced by Yoongi's words.
- Hmm... Now that I hear it, I guess so.
- It's even more surprising that you apologize for what you thought about me.
- Yes..? Ah..
That's because I'm a bit... timid, right? And more than anything, because you look a bit scary... you keep muttering curses... Seung-ah said to herself, scratching her head with an awkward smile. It seemed like she became good at acting fast whenever she stood in front of strangers. Seung-ah desperately wanted to run away because she was becoming more and more foolish.
- That's fun.
- Yes..? What is it..?
- That's it.
What on earth was this person? Seung-ah's head was spinning at the thought of this type of person she'd never encountered before. To Seung-ah, who was already timid and hoped to live within the norm, this man, who seemed to be blunt yet strangely polite, felt incredibly peculiar. But then, this man, who'd just sit there expressionless for a while, would suddenly chuckle and say he found her amusing. Seung-ah felt like she was about to break out in a sweat. "I'm a little scared of you." "Um, if you're done speaking, I'll take my leave first..."
- I was wrong.
?Yoongi, who suddenly blurted out an apology, and Seungah, who blurted it out without realizing it, both had puzzled expressions. No, I didn't mean to say something like that, but why is Seungah suddenly thinking, "Are you really stupid????" Yoongi laughed as he watched her. Her thoughts were practically written on her face, so the onlookers found her troubled appearance cute.
-Why, why are you laughing…
- Your face is so revealing.
- It’s not like I’m any good…
- Do you think I'm less scary now that I'm laughing?
- Oh my, how did you know?
- I told you it was embarrassing.
Ah, really. He keeps stopping me. I don't know if it's because I'm scared or what, but now, like he said, I feel more annoyed than scared... But I don't feel bad or annoyed either. Ah, this is the biggest mess of my life... Seung-ah fanned her face, which had turned red with embarrassment, to cool it.
- Min Yoongi. That's my name. What's your name?
- … Nam Seung-ah.
"Why am I telling you this?" Seung-ah answered meekly as Yoon-ki asked her name, seemingly possessed. Yoon-ki smiled sweetly, a smile Seung-ah could never have imagined.
- I hope we see each other again later. No, we will.
