Can I like it?

Ordinary, yet not ordinary.

06:13 AM

I couldn't sleep at night today because of something, so I left home earlier than usual.

The sky was still dark.

한 설

Maybe because it's winter, it's really dark even in the morning...

한 설

Ah, it's cold.. I want to ride the subway quickly.. It must be warm inside the subway, right?

한 설

And above all, I'm so sleepy...

한 설

When I get to school, I have to lie down and sleep as soon as I get there.

한 설

Oh, come to think of it, I guess I'm first today?

한 설

Do I have to open the classroom door too?

한 설

Ah, it's annoying... I want to sleep...

Since I left early today, I arrived at the station with more time to spare.

한 설

I don't have to run because I leave early, and I feel so relieved.

As luck would have it, the subway started arriving less than 5 minutes after we arrived.

한 설

Oh, the subway is coming! Are you killing the timing?

Today, for some reason, even the noise of the subway sounded like music.

If it were normal, I would have been out of my mind because I was running so fast.

It's really stable today

한 설

'I feel good...'

So I got on the subway excitedly.

Perhaps because it was early, there weren't many people on the subway.

한 설

Wow. I didn't know there would be this few people.

한 설

Can I sit anywhere today?

한 설

Where should I sit? I'm worried haha. I can't believe I'm having to worry about this.

At that moment, a corner seat next to the exit caught my eye.

한 설

I like it here!

I sat down where I wanted and happily took off my bag and placed it on the seat to my right.

So the subway starts

When you arrive at the next station after passing one stop

Only one person came in through the open entrance.

Unlike me, he sat down without much hesitation.

Of all the seats, the one right next to me.

A chill ran down my spine at the thought that maybe if I hadn't had my bag, I would have been sitting right next to him.

After a few minutes, he carefully raised his head, which had been bowed since he got on the subway.

한 설

'Ah... why, of all places, when there are so many seats...'

한 설

'I'm so nervous...'

I was getting nervous without realizing it, just because I felt uncomfortable with someone being next to me.

But somehow I was curious about what he looked like.

한 설

'Should we check..?'

한 설

'It's okay to take a quick look.'

Eventually, I couldn't contain my curiosity and turned my head.

however..

I made eye contact with him.

한 설

'Oh my... I'm surprised... Did we make eye contact? He's so handsome...'

???

...

???

'Our eyes... met.'
