Psycho started to become obsessed

#10 End of Gaze

When asked how he was doing, Seokjin smiled and stroked his coffee cup.

김 석진

I was abroad for a while. I was living a pretty normal life.

Hearing that I was abroad prickled my ears and told Seokjin.

예 림

Oh, really? What did you do when you went abroad?

At my words, Seokjin took a sip of his coffee, put the cup down, met my eyes, and spoke.

김 석진

I learned about the food service industry and management. I was thinking about starting a small business.

At Seokjin's words, I stirred the straw and said.

예 림

So you'll be staying in Korea from now on?

김 석진

Well, I'm not sure if it will last.

Perhaps because it had been so long since we last spoke, I felt strangely elated. We hadn't spoken often in school, but all I could think about was that he was one of the few people who had helped me, and I was simply delighted.

김 석진

He used to be a quiet man, but when I saw him again after a long time, he seemed to have brightened up a lot.

At Seokjin's words, I raised my head slightly and looked at him. Seokjin was still looking at me with a smile on his face.

예 림

As time passes, even rivers and mountains change, so I guess I have changed too.

Seokjin nodded, seeming a little impressed by my words, then smiled and rested his chin on his hand, looking straight at me.

김 석진

I think you look prettier.

Seokjin's sudden words left me red-faced and speechless. My lips moved, but I said nothing.

예 림

thank you.

When I answered awkwardly, Seokjin tucked his hair behind his ear and said.

김 석진

I don't know if you know this, but I've always felt like my emotions were clearly expressed through my facial expressions.

Seokjin's pleasant voice made my heart pound slightly. Perhaps he was thrilled by his senior, who was known for his kindness from the start, but his flushed face showed no signs of returning to normal.

At that moment, I saw someone's face dimly in the cafe window. I came to my senses and looked at the window.

김 태형

.....

Taehyung stared at me and Seokjin without saying a word. His presence made my heart beat a little differently than before.

My face turned pale, forgetting that Seokjin was standing before me. Taehyung was just staring at us, silent, but I couldn't understand why he was acting like this.

Taehyung's eyes were filled with many emotions.

Resentment, hatred, and disappointment.

김 석진

Rim-ah..?

I heard Seokjin call me, but I lowered my head without saying a word. Seeing my hands tremble, Seokjin grabbed them tightly.

김 석진

Can you calm down and tell me what's going on?

Seokjin's words reached my ears, but my eyes remained fixed on Taehyung. Was it my imagination that, after seeing Taehyung's attitude this morning, I thought we might be able to remain good friends, even if only for a little while?

Taehyung looked at me and Seokjin without saying anything, then disappeared.

Only after Taehyung disappeared from before my eyes did I start to breathe a little easier and my hands stop shaking.

예 림

Sorry, sorry... I think I should go now...

As I opened my mouth to speak and tried to get up, Seokjin grabbed my wrist and spoke.

김 석진

Could you at least give me your contact information?

At those words, I tried to calm my heart and slowly entered my number into Seokjin's phone.

Seokjin, who received the phone number, looked at his phone for a moment, then waved his hand with a look of regret.

김 석진

See you next time.

But for some reason, the words "see you later" struck me as strange.

As if foreshadowing something bad.
