When you go there

8

The female protagonist, after much deliberation, picks up her phone and types on the keyboard.

Tap tap

I woke up

The female lead went into the shower after sending a text.

I wrap my hair in a towel, come out, and check my phone screen.

박우진

Did you sleep well?

Someone asks how I am.

And that was Park Woo-jin...

A reply... um...

서여주

Yeah... see you at the front at 11.

박우진

Yeah.

I look around the closet at the thought of meeting Woojin.

서여주

What should I wear...

The female protagonist picks out a standout outfit, changes into it, and applies makeup.

서여주

... Is that too... true...?

The female lead looks at her watch as if she likes it, even though it seems excessive.

It is almost 11 o'clock, so I pack various things into my bag.

서여주

Done..

Humming a tune for no reason on my way out of the house, I came down the stairs and saw Woojin.

박우진

let's go

... What is it... how do I feel...? He reacts to Woojin's voice.

Feeling excited

서여주

Ah... uh

박우진

What about breakfast?

서여주

I'm not eating..

박우진

Make sure you eat properly...

Woojin asks as he stares intently at Woojin

박우진

Why do you hate hearing nagging?

서여주

...No, it sounds good.

Woojin, who had been smiling at me, asked what I wanted to eat. Since I wasn't really thinking about it, I couldn't answer, so we headed to a restaurant he frequented.

An ordinary restaurant

서여주

Do you come here often?

박우진

Yeah, come often. I think you'd like home-cooked meals.

Ah... back then, I really ate a lot at Woojin's place...

It was an uneventful and unremarkable time.

The rice and side dishes that others eat, and the conversations I had with Woojin while sitting down, were just like those of ordinary college students.

But... this is special to me...

Do you know? You approached slowly, as if trying to fill my loneliness starting from that part.

I feel like I'm changing little by little thanks to your small acts of kindness and your gaze.

Woojin turns around only after dropping him off at the classroom.

I made a phone call in the long hallway as I watched your back as you walked away.

Not long after, I receive your voice over the phone.

박우진

why?

서여주

It's the weekend tomorrow.

박우진

however?

서여주

I'm not working my part-time job tomorrow.

I can see the smiling face all the way here.

박우진

so?

서여주

Let's meet tomorrow.

박우진

Okay, let me know after class. You're working part-time today, right? I'll give you a ride.

I nod in answer.

서여주

I understand.

After hanging up the phone like that, I walked into the classroom.

서여주

I... what should I do...

The female protagonist muttering to herself while clutching her restless, pounding heart.

I must have felt a sense of regret watching Woojin leave, considering I called him without even realizing it.

서여주

No matter how disappointing it is...

It is said that the female protagonist, who had been blaming herself alone in the empty classroom, only quieted down after people entered.
