Between us

Our first meeting (3)

Jeong-eun moves all her belongings to a new apartment in Yeonnam-dong.

정은

I thought I lived in a small house, but why do I have so much stuff?

Jeong-eun had roughly finished unpacking her bags and was sitting down to sort through her clothes and bag when a small piece of paper fell out of one of the bags. She picked it up to see what it was.

The paper she picked up contained the address of Jinsol's flower shop, the one she'd met on the street that day. Recalling that moment, Jeong-eun whispered Jinsol's name once more.

정은

Her meaning is Jeong Jin-sol...

Jinsol's flower shop. Jinsol, after a while of doing something, keeps glancing at the flower shop door. Every time someone comes in, she looks up, hoping to see a hint of golden hair. Then, soon disappointed, she makes a resolution.

진솔

Jeong Jin-sol, wake up. What are you expecting? Didn't you see that woman's expression that day? It wasn't her expression. What are you waiting for? Jeong Jin-sol.

But this resolve soon crumbles. Now, Jinsol looks outside every time someone passes by the flower shop.

After some time

진솔

You didn't come today either... It's closing time, so I guess they should be closing.

Jinsol, feeling a pang of disappointment, locked the refrigerator door, which held the flowers, and cleaned the floor. She sat blankly on her chair for another ten minutes. These days, leaving work on time has become a distant dream for Jinsol. Still, when Jeong-eun, the woman she'd been waiting for, didn't show up, she checked the bouquet one last time.

Jinsol looks up after checking the bouquet and is startled to see the silhouette of someone standing on the threshold of the flower shop.

정은

Hello. Is it closing time or am I too late?
