"Contact me later."

"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.



Love is drop by drop [05] start_


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.

"hello?"



์ ์ ๊ตญ
-"It's me. What's wrong with your voice? Are you hurt?"


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
"No, just... Wait... I think I fell asleep. I'm still sleepy."

-"Really? Nothing else... I was just curious about something."

The salary was disproportionate to the physical and mental hardships I endured. The company passed all the stress on to me.

Thump-


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.


๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
".....I shouldn't have just stopped drinking..."


As I continued walking, my headache and dizziness grew worse, and I was about to fall over, tripping over my step.


Tup-


Someone grabbed my arm and stopped me from falling, and that person

"What's going on? Be careful."


In one hand he was holding the camera we saw last time.


It was you.




It's already 2022, everyone. I hope this year brings you lots of happiness and strength. Stay healthy. Happy New Year, everyone. ๐โโ๏ธ
