Seeking Magnolia [尋覓木蓮]
4. I don't understand at all.
I feel like she's avoiding me these days.
Maybe it's because I felt burdened when I asked for their phone number, but in the past they would answer in about 2 minutes, but these days I have to wait a day for a reply.
I, too, wanted to be grateful for the ability to contact people through an app without a phone number. But since I never had a proper conversation every day, I couldn't help but feel exhausted.
As Kim Jae-hwan said, I was the only one who was excited. Even while I was working, I kept thinking about her, and it was driving me crazy.
I hated myself for being like this. I was so annoyed by how psychotic I was.
Yeah, how about I just go to her house and pretend we met by chance?
It may look a bit shabby, but it seems to be the most reliable.
Ding-
Even though I clearly heard a ringing sound, I was unconscious and couldn't say anything.
여성
Please calculate it for me.
강의건
...
여성
Excuse me! Here's the calculation.
강의건
Yes? Oh, yes. I will do it.
Doing something else while working... I think I'm going crazy too.
Let's put Magnolia's thoughts aside and focus on work.
It was almost time to leave work. I was leaving the counter and heading into the warehouse to get ready to change clothes.
Ding-
남성
Welcome.
권은비
Uh... Where did that part-timer named Kang Eui-geon go?
남성
I'm getting ready to leave work now. I'll be out soon.
It seems like they're talking about me outside, so I think I'd better go out and check.
I finished all my preparations for leaving work and went out of the warehouse. Then I saw Kwon Eun-bi.
강의건
Was that you talking to me outside? Why do you come here so often these days? Do you like me?
권은비
Hey, I didn't come here to joke around. This is a serious matter, so listen to me seriously.
At Kwon Eun-bi's words, I wiped the smile off my smiling face and continued talking.
강의건
What are you talking about, being so serious?
권은비
..That's not the story to tell here. Go outside and listen.
Eunbi Kwon pushed my back and forced me out, and the place she took me to was a certain cafe.
Does this really have to be here? How serious must this be that we're talking about it here?
권은비
Whether it's a lecture or not, listen without being surprised.
강의건
Why are you taking so long?
권은비
...Ha, that's not true. I'm sorry. I brought you all the way here...
Eunbi Kwon let out a small sigh and then burst into tears. "What am I supposed to do if I cry alone, knowing nothing? Only if I know something, I can comfort you, whether I want you to or not."
강의건
Hey, why are you crying? You really make people panic.
권은비
For your sake, and for his sake, I think it's better if you just don't know.
강의건
If that's the case, then why did you come to the cafe?
권은비
Actually, I was going to say something too. But...the words just wouldn't come out.
..I don't know what it is, but Eunbi Kwon must have her own circumstances. Just like I couldn't tell Eunbi Kwon why I broke up with her.
강의건
Okay. I completely understand how you feel. But Eunbi Kwon, do you know Baek Mok-ryeon's house?
권은비
Why is Magnolia's house here? Should I go and find it?
강의건
How did you know? Lately, I haven't been getting any replies from dating apps, so I'm just trying to meet up in person.
권은비
My head is so weak and fragile...
Eunbi Kwon was mumbling so quietly that I couldn't hear what she was saying.
강의건
What? What...what did you say?
권은비
..It's nothing. But why are you visiting Magnolia's house? That's not because you're worried, it's because you're stalking her.
강의건
Why are you worried about me? Done. I thought you'd talk to me.
권은비
.....
권은비
But how on earth do you contact Magnolia?
강의건
Of course, how do you contact someone? It's a blind date app...
권은비
That's not a magnolia. I think you're mistaken.
