"Yeah, I'll definitely see you."

So Jeongguk went down the stairs, and I was only able to close the door after his back disappeared.

That day, I just walked home from school alone.

Although I felt a little sorry, I had no right to say anything because it was natural to understand Jeongguk's private life.

So, I tried my best to suppress my feelings of frustration, but before I knew it, they kept leaking out little by little.

"........"

I buried my face in the living room sofa where I was sitting, my eyes reddening without me realizing it.

In case tears fall, keep your lips tightly shut.

Dinglingling-

I must have fallen asleep before I knew it. The ringtone kept ringing, so I quickly swiped my phone screen and answered without even checking who it was.

It was a rejection.

Weekdays came back quickly after the weekend, and I was even more exhausted from work.

Actually, I had a drink because I was upset. It had been so long since I had a drink.

My head hurt so badly that I had difficulty walking.
