Seeking Magnolia [尋覓木蓮]
3. To her who is somewhere
Phew... I was catching my breath after finishing my part-time job and getting off work.
Now I need to send her a message telling her I'm off work.
강의건
-Magnolia, I'm done with my part-time job. What are you doing now?
She didn't read it, as if she was very busy.
Well, it's evening now, so I guess Magnolia won't be able to see me since she's off work. Let's not worry too much about it.
..I wonder what's wrong with Magnolia? Even though she ate and washed up, she didn't read what I sent her.
Besides this app, I should have gotten a phone number so I could make calls.
If I get a call, I should ask for their phone number.
김재환
Magnolia? Is Magnolia your ex-girlfriend?
강의건
...Yeah, that's right. Isn't it amazing?
김재환
Baek Magnolia: You can contact him so easily?? Well, that might have been possible 10 years ago.
강의건
Anyway, I'll try to get back together with Magnolia.
김재환
Even though I am full, I feel sorry for the white magnolia tree.
강의건
I think Magnolia likes me too? I told you, we were really in a good mood.
김재환
How do I know it might just be my imagination? And I have to go back to school now. It starts soon.
강의건
Just hurry up and graduate from college. Who would want to take a break from school?
Kim Jae-hwan sighed, turned around, waved his hand, and left.
Kim Jae-hwan had left, and I fiddled with my phone, which hadn't vibrated or made a sound since then. I was timid, wondering if she might have contacted me silently.
But as expected, the call never came, so I turned off my phone in disappointment due to my unnecessary expectations.
What the hell happened... I should have at least gotten her number. I regret it now.
강의건
Welcome!
A boy who looked a little younger came and wandered around the counter.
Having worked at a convenience store for quite some time, I could tell at first glance that this guy was definitely here to buy cigarettes.
남성
Please give me one.
강의건
If I were to abbreviate it, how would I know? You can tell at a glance that I'm a student, but I have no intention of selling cigarettes, so just leave.
The boy looked embarrassed and quickly ran away. He didn't seem to have much experience buying cigarettes.
Oh man, I need to get a job soon and not do this part-time job.
Magnolia must have already gotten a job while I was doing this. I suddenly feel embarrassed.
Jiing- Jiing-
I quickly took out my phone when it suddenly rang, hoping that it might be an alarm from the app chat.
강의건
It's a magnolia..!
I guess it wasn't something that happened, he was just busy.
The message she received was this:
백목련
-Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't been able to read. I'm doing well.
As expected, it was because he was busy. He must be doing better than before. I thought I should get his number to prevent something like this from happening again, so I immediately sent him a message asking for his number.
강의건
-Magnolia, I thought about it and I think it would be better for us to do it through KakaoTalk or phone calls rather than through a dating app like this.
강의건
-So, can you give me your phone number?
She didn't respond. Perhaps she felt pressured by my asking for her number? Or was it just my excitement, as Kim Jae-hwan said?
백목련
-I'm sorry I don't have your phone number.
강의건
-How come you don't have a phone number? If you don't want a phone number, let's just use KakaoTalk.
백목련
-..I don't even use KakaoTalk. So I don't have KakaoTalk.
강의건
-Hmm..lol Then maybe a Facebook message?
백목련
-Sorry, I don't have Facebook. Let's just talk through this dating app.
Honestly, her behavior just seemed like she was trying to avoid giving me her number. Was she really that unwilling to give it to me?
It was the same when we talked last time... No matter how much I thought about it, it didn't seem like her. Did her personality change after 10 years?
I thought I knew exactly what she was thinking, but now I don't. I have no idea what she's thinking.
