The spring called you

Through the glass windows, the outside looked dimly white with frost.

On the empty street, there was a man holding a large umbrella despite the damp weather.

Every time the man's tall, black shoes touched the pavement, a squeaking sound was heard.

The bottom of my pants were soaking wet, and the rain was falling heavily.

The man walked through an alley that seemed even darker than it already was, carrying a briefcase.

As I was passing through that alley, I stopped in my tracks when someone called my name.

안여주

… namjun kim,

The man's name was Kim Namjoon

김남준

Are you okay?

안여주

Yeah, it's me. It's been a while-.

His first love was Ahn Yeo-ju

The heroine was holding a cigarette in her hand and was leaning against a brick wall while holding a transparent umbrella.

The heroine put a cigarette to my lips and blew out a puff of smoke.

Namjoon frowned and spoke roughly to the female protagonist.

김남준

A guy who got caught smoking in high school and got beaten up by a bully is still smoking.

안여주

...you never know. You might be worried again.

안여주

I wish you would appear before me again.

안여주

I thought you might come back if I smoked a cigarette.

Namjoon opened his mouth as if throwing down his long umbrella without saying anything.

김남준

… I don’t have an umbrella,

김남준

Let's use it together.

My shoulders were getting wet from the rain,

There's water in my shoes.

Still, I can laugh

Maybe it's because we're each other that we can laugh
