[Contest] It's time to kiss
Words that could not be said


Jaehwan walked down the street. If one person's heart becomes sincere, the curse will be triggered regardless of whether or not there's a kiss? Jaehwan's thoughts grew more intense.

의문의 여자
hey!

Jaehwan turned around at the sound of a voice calling him. A woman he'd never seen before was calling him.


재환
Who are you?

의문의 여자
It's raining, would you like to share an umbrella?

The rain is pouring down heavily. It's as if there's a hole in the sky, pouring down heavily. A mysterious woman smiles at Jaehwan, who's bearing the brunt of the rain without an umbrella.


재환
... That's right.

Jaehwan carries her umbrella and walks wherever his feet take him. Beside him, a woman he's seen for the first time today is walking with him on his endless path.

In front of the crosswalk, she asks.

의문의 여자
Do you want to kiss me?


재환
yes?

의문의 여자
Now is the time to kiss.

Jaehwan blocked her hand that was coming towards his waist.


재환
What are you doing?

의문의 여자
I see you... have fallen into a black hole?


재환
Black hole...?

The unknown woman spits out nothing but incomprehensible words. Jaehwan begins to feel a little annoyed, so he hands over the umbrella and sets off.

의문의 여자
Be careful! For people like us, our lips are our lifeblood!

Jaehwan, who was crossing the crosswalk, looked back in surprise, but the woman was nowhere to be seen. Someone like us?

I was walking and walking down the street and ended up coming back into that cafe.

You're back again!


재환
It's what I was eating.

I sit down and look out at the rain-soaked street. Just moments ago, I was walking miserably in the rain, but now I'm drinking coffee in a warm cafe.


재환
You're not being sincere to me...? That's ridiculous.

I reconsidered Minhyun's words. His gaze, his breathing during the kiss, the way they looked at each other afterward—everything was sincere.

지은
Jaehwan...


재환
Yujin...?

Ji-eun quietly pulled up the chair in front of Jae-hwan and sat down, looking at the scar clearly visible on the back of his neck.

지은
You turned into a wolf again?


재환
... uh.

지은
We definitely kissed yesterday, right?


재환
Seriously...

지은
huh?


재환
You weren't serious... were you?

지은
... That's not it


재환
That's right, the next day, both of you have to be sincere or not!

지은
I'm serious. I was really serious.


재환
But... but why...

지은
You're lying to yourself.


재환
What the hell am I lying about!
