That winter, a day when white snow was piling up.

huh..?



정한
You are prettier, heroine.

Seungcheol frowned, perhaps not liking the atmosphere.


정한
Hahaha, I'm just kidding. How could you possibly be serious?


승철
It's getting colder the later it gets. Let's go in.

Seungcheol cut Jeonghan off and turned back into the bookstore. As he entered, Seungcheol nudged Jeonghan. He probably meant to say he wanted to talk for a moment.

Jeonghan smiled faintly, and Yeoju sensed a meaningful atmosphere for a moment, but she didn't seem to care much.

- Alley behind the bookstore -


승철
Hey Yoon Jeonghan.



정한
Huh? Why?

Jeonghan either didn't know Seungcheol's intentions or was pretending not to. He just smiled sheepishly.



승철
..what was written in the letter. Is it true?



정한
Then, it must be fake?


승철
Why didn't you tell me until now?


정한
..just so you guys don't worry.


승철
I'm worried you'll think about it, but you're only thinking about it from your perspective. Haven't you ever thought about what it would have been like for us?


정한
.. Yeah, actually I tried to contact you, but I didn't have time.


승철
It's not a lie, right?


정한
No way, most people have their eyes closed. I just came here because things have gotten a little better now.


승철
.. I didn't just come here..

Seungcheol's voice was mixed with tears.

When Jeonghan turned his gaze away as if he couldn't bear to look at Seungcheol, who was crying, he couldn't hide his embarrassment.

Jeonghan's originally large eyes grew even larger.



정한
.. my lady.

At the name Jeonghan blurted out, Seungcheol also raised his head and met the eyes of the person who had given the name.



여주
What are you guys talking about now?


여주
What was that letter about, and what were you trying to tell me without telling me?


정한
..Okay. Choi Seung-cheol, Yeoju. I'll just tell you everything from start to finish.


정한
.. in fact •••
