The name of that summer is

The name of that summer is

The fact that we became lovers

It didn't come as lightly as it sounded.

 

No one congratulated me,

Even though no one asked

Somewhere in my heart

The words lay silently.

 

“Do you want to go on a date?”

It was the first thing Yeonjun said.

I just nodded.

 

That was all,

That statement is somehow a little,

It was cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That day we went to a quiet art museum.

A time when there are few people,

Inside the exhibition hall

Our footsteps were louder than the picture.

 

“Is this your first time here?”

He asked.

I nodded.

 

“It’s better than I thought.”

“It’s okay. I’m an artistic person.”

When I laugh,

Yeonjun also laughed along.

Although my words were awkward at times

Even that silence became comfortable.

 

I left the art museum and went into a nearby cafe.

a quiet place,

A window seat where you can sit for a long time.

He was drinking coffee

He leaned slightly towards me.

 

“I never thought it would end up like this with you

It's not that I didn't know."

At those words, I put down my coffee cup

I looked at him slowly.

“Since when?”

“That day.

“The day you said, ‘I missed you.’”

 

I didn't say anything.

But at that moment,

I felt something quietly unravel inside me.

 

I was waiting for those words

I just found out now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the way back.

Yeonjun Oppa quietly held my hand.

 

The fingertips were warm,

Even the way I held hands was awkward, like when I was little.

"you."

He was about to call my name, but stopped.

I looked to the side.

 

“Do you remember that summer?”

“What kind of summer?”

“That summer when I came to see you every day.”

I nodded.

 

and,

He said.

“The name of that summer was you.”

 

And that's what he said

Through all these seasons

It took me back to that summer.
