“From now on, I will explain the rules of transfer love.”
Eight people gathered in the center of the living room.
Even though we made eye contact with each other,
No one spoke first.
From the moment I came here, everyone knew.
Before we get to know each other,
First of all, this is a space that you have to be careful about.
"now,
“I will not disclose my age or occupation.”
The sound of small exhalations could be heard here and there.
“And now, at this moment,
You can't tell who's X is who."
I gently clenched the hand that was resting on my knee.
I hadn't even started yet, but my heart was already beating a little faster.
Transfer love.
Staying in the same space as an ex-lover,
A program to meet new people.
To be honest,
I considered canceling several times before coming here.
A person who we don't necessarily have to meet again,
I didn't know I would see it again in this way.
“Well then, please feel free to talk first.”
As soon as the production team finished speaking
An awkward silence followed.
Someone started talking with a smile,
Someone was just fiddling with a glass of water.
“The atmosphere here… is more tense than I thought.”
Someone smiled cautiously
Only then did the air begin to clear up little by little.
I turn my gaze,
I happened to see a man sitting on one side of the living room.
A person of few words.
Even when you laugh, your voice is not loud,
The habit of tilting your head slightly when listening to other people.
Myung Jae-hyun.
A face that tries to look like it's the first time seeing someone.
Because it's too familiar,
I quickly averted my gaze.
We never made eye contact.
No, to be exact
He was the one trying to avoid meeting them.
If someone talks to you, you answer
If the conversation seems like it's going to be long, just slip away.
Especially with me,
It felt like they were intentionally keeping their distance.
‘That’s good.’
I thought to myself,
Because that way we can both be comfortable.
“If you watch Transfer Romance,
‘Oh, I can never go to a place like that’
Have you ever thought about it?”
To a question someone asked
Laughter erupted here and there.
“I always do.”
"me too."
At that time, Jaehyun spoke briefly.
“But when I actually got here… it was different than I expected.”
The voice was calm
Those words strangely stuck in my mind.
‘Different’ means,
Is it good?
Or maybe it's just more uncomfortable.
I wonder what kind of expression he has
I didn't see it being built.
When I look at it, I think I'll remember the past.
When night falls,
Everyone dispersed to their rooms.
I was sitting on the bed holding my phone.
The vibration rang.
As the night deepens,
After everyone dispersed to their rooms.
I was lying in bed with my eyes closed.
The phone vibrated briefly.
✉️ [Who made you excited today?]
The uniqueness of a transfer love affair,
The cruelest question, while pretending not to care.
I stared at the screen for a while
I exhaled slowly.
Rather than being excited,
I was worried
I became conscious
There was someone who felt uncomfortable for no reason.
But I couldn't press that name.
We were already far enough apart,
He obviously
Because you were pushing me away.
I hesitated for a moment
I chose another name.
There was no particular reason.
Just now
I think that's what I should do.
The moment you press the send button
The phone vibrated again.
✉️ [Your X didn't choose you.]
paragraph.
Even though it was an expected result
Strangely, my heart sank a beat later.
‘Yes, this is correct.’
We are already finished,
As if nothing had happened
Because we're starting over here.
Put your phone down
I looked up at the ceiling.
But strangely enough
The more I try to close my eyes
Jaehyun's face, sitting on one side of the living room, came to mind.
The eyes that tried not to look at me.
A voice that was sparing with words.
Who would you have chosen?
I couldn't figure that out.
But one thing was clear.
today,
We didn't choose each other.
Is that the beginning of this relationship?
Or is it a way to postpone the end?
Still no one knows.
