3. Why Did He Look So Mad?
"I hope we meet again. Actually, we will meet again."
What the hell was that?!
Seung-ah had replayed that scene thirty-three times in her head.
Though to be precise, this time it showed up in her dream.
She nearly tore her hair out.
Whatever. It’s just stuck in my head because he scared me, that’s all.
But even that excuse was getting shaky,
because Yoongi’s smile—
his last smile—was just way too vivid.
Wait… am I falling for him because of his face?? Am I really that weak??
No! It’s not that. I’m just in shock because it’s the first time a scary guy smiled at me like that… yeah… that’s all.
Self-justification: complete.
She got up and half-heartedly fixed her bed.
"What did he mean by ‘we’ll meet again’...?"
She muttered it out loud without meaning to.
No matter how much she tried to go about her day,
Min Yoongi just kept clouding her mind.
He said I was funny... and that he wanted to see me again...
The more she replayed it, the more ridiculous the grin on her face became.
There was something weirdly certain in his voice when he said they’d meet again.
And because of that certainty,
Seung-ah couldn’t help but… expect it.
She felt like they really would meet again.
But then came the doubt.
We only know each other’s names. How are we supposed to meet again?
She shook her head.
I can’t just waste the whole day like this…
It’s not like I’m gonna see him again just by staying home…
Min Yoongi, huh… even his name’s kinda pretty…
"Oh god, what is wrong with me…"
She missed him.
The man who used to terrify her now only lived in her mind as a guy with a beautiful smile.
He had become so romanticized it was almost a problem.
I cursed at him in my head, so maybe he had a reason to be upset too...
He didn’t even seem like a bad person…
He asked for a lighter but said he doesn’t smoke…
So really, me wanting to see him again is just… it can’t be helped.
Who told him to smile like that anyway?
For the first time in her life,
Seung-ah found herself completely overwhelmed by a man she barely knew.
She never saw this coming.
A flashy, scary-looking guy, and I can’t stop thinking about him all day?
It’s not that I like him… it’s just… he’s so different from me, and yet he wasn’t a jerk… just… oddly polite?
That’s all it was. She kept telling herself that.

"...Wait… what?!"
Seung-ah spotted Yoongi on the street.
He looked even more intimidating than yesterday.
Not just scary, but straight-up flashy.
Yesterday was just the impression.
But now?
No smile, clearly annoyed—he looked genuinely dangerous.
Even so, she couldn’t look away.
Before she knew it, she was trailing behind him.
Slowly at first… then hiding behind corners.
Full-on stalking.
And internally, a war began.
What am I doing?! Am I seriously following someone I barely know? This is not okay…
But her guilt was no match for his presence.
"Why does he look so angry…?"
She couldn’t stop wondering.
