김 종인 (20)

“I wanted to talk to you for a moment, but... is this a good time for you?”

[현실] 박 찬열(20)

“..yes,it’s okay.”

< It was a cold answer that came out against my will. >

김 종인 (20)

" … thank you, "

[현실] 박 찬열(20)

“No, so… what do you want to talk about?”

김 종인 (20)

“ … “

< Jong-in is silent for a while, then begins to speak with a bitter smile. >

김 종인 (20)

“Baekhyun… please, Chanyeol… stay by my side.”

[현실] 박 찬열(20)

" … yes? "

‘ … What is that.. ‘

김 종인 (20)

“..I know it’s ridiculous..but..I.. “

“I like it better when Baekhyun is happy.”

: Thud... thud... :

< With these words, Jong-in leaves the room, shedding tears and apologizing. >

: Jeokbuk, Jeokbuk- :

: Drumroll- thump. :

[현실] 박 찬열(20)

“ …. “

‘… Baekhyun… probably likes Jongin… what can I do now…’

< Chanyeol sweeps his hair back and lets out a deep sigh. >

: Swish- :

변 백현 (20)

“Oh, thank you.”

< Baekhyun, who received a can of coffee from Kyungsoo, expressed his gratitude. >

: Chiik- Click. :

도 경수(21)

“ … “

< Kyungsoo was holding the can of coffee without drinking it. >

< He seemed to be thinking. >

변 백현 (20)

“ … Hey… but, what could be the matter…?”

도 경수(21)

“Ah, ah.. I’m sorry- I was just thinking for a moment.. “

: Ssuk- Horok :

< Kyungsoo took a sip of his canned coffee and immediately opened his mouth. >

도 경수(21)

“ … I’m not good at beating around the bush, so I’ll just get straight to the point.”

“Chanyeol, I still like Baekhyun a lot.”

변 백현 (20)

" … yes? "

< Baekhyun couldn't understand why Kyungsoo suddenly said this to him. >

도 경수(21)

“… Really, I know it’s out of the blue, but… I could see it, so I couldn’t help but say something.”

“You too.. still like Chanyeol, right?”

변 백현 (20)

“ … “

: Swish- :

변 백현 (20)

“How would you know that? I might not like Chanyeol.. “

도 경수(21)

“… Well, well… I guess… Your expression says it all, Baekhyun.”

변 백현 (20)

“.. expression…?”

도 경수(21)

"Yes, last time we bumped into each other in the hallway... You kept looking back the whole time, didn't you? Your expression was worried."

변 백현 (20)

" … ah.. "

도 경수(21)

“…and this might be a bit off topic, but…maybe Baekhyun’s boyfriend…”

“You all know how I feel, Baekhyun.”

변 백현 (20)

“ …. “

‘ … Jong-in… knows…? ‘

: Swish, squeak- :

< Kyungsoo gets up from his seat, crushing the can. >

도 경수(21)

“.. So in conclusion, what I wanted to say is.. If it’s okay with Baekhyun.. How about meeting Chanyeol again..?”

변 백현 (20)

“ …. How can I… have the shame to do that.. “

‘ … I’ve already hurt you both… Now, no more… ‘

: Swish- :

변 백현 (20)

“I’ll be going now. I enjoyed my coffee.”

< Baekhyun quickly leaves the place. >
