One step to you
Late at night, to you
이서연
“…Senior…”
At that moment, the world seemed to stop. Seoyeon was held tightly in Jeonghan's arms.
The pounding of my heart was shaking my whole body.
So much so that he couldn't even tell if it was his own heart or Jeonghan's heart.
He held her in his arms for a while without saying anything.
The body temperature, breathing, and trembling that were transmitted from that embrace.
There was no need for words. Just that moment, it was quiet, like it was just the two of us.
Then he slowly released her. Jeonghan's eyes were wetter than usual.
The look in her eyes, where emotions had not subsided, was felt more clearly than words.
He carefully raised his hand and placed his fingertips on Seoyeon's cheek.
As warm fingers gently brushed against her cheek, Seoyeon unconsciously swallowed her breath.
정한
“…Seoyeon, you know…”
At those words, Seoyeon tightly closed her eyes.
Was he trying to tell me something now? Finally, the truth he'd been harboring. As I listened, my breath trembling—
원우
“It’s over there~!”
Wonwoo's bright voice came from afar. The two of them instinctively pulled away in surprise.
이서연
“Ah, that… So you’re saying we should do it like this…?”
정한
“…Oh, yes. That’s right…”
Seoyeon, flustered, quickly tried to get over the situation by following the choreography she had just learned.
Jeonghan nodded awkwardly, brushing his hair back once.
At that moment, Wonwoo approached and asked gently.
원우
“Oh, Jeonghan hyung taught me the choreography well, right?”
Seoyeon forced a smile and nodded. Jeonghan quietly averted his eyes from behind.
The manager started preparing to film, saying he would set up the camera, and the two stood back in their original positions.
Seoyeon turned her head slightly for a moment to look at Jeonghan. The words she had been about to say rose to her throat, but she regretted missing the opportunity.
She pouted slightly and frowned, and Jeonghan looked at her expression without saying a word.
He shook his head slightly and said he felt the same way.
That night, Seoyeon finally arrived home after finishing her schedule.
After taking a shower with warm water, I dried my hair and quietly prepared to go to bed.
My mind was completely… fixed.
Should I try contacting her? No, is it too early?
No, what I meant earlier… That expression… There was definitely something there…
Seoyeon hesitated dozens of times and picked up and put down her phone.
The moment when I finally mustered up the courage to write a message.
Woohoohoohoo—— A vibration rang. A name appeared on the phone screen.
Senior Jeonghan
이서연
".. ..!!!"
Seoyeon was so surprised that she almost dropped her phone, but barely managed to pick it up again.
I took a deep breath and pressed the call button with trembling hands.
이서연
"...Hello, hello...!"
정한
[Junior.]
Jeonghan's low, soft voice came over the phone. My heart sank at those words.
이서연
“N…yes, senior…”
정한
[I'm at the park near my junior's house right now... Do you want to come out for a second?]
At those words, the answer came out without a moment's hesitation.
이서연
"...Oh yes..!!"
As soon as she hung up the phone, Seoyeon ran frantically to the mirror.
I combed my hair again, sprayed some more perfume, tugged my hat on roughly, put on a light coat, and then kicked open the door and ran out.
To where he's waiting. To where his arms are waiting again.
