Haru remained silent throughout. From the moment we rode the elevator, he didn’t say a word. He must have felt my gaze, but he didn’t lift his head.
The emotions that filled my chest were overwhelming. The impulse to embrace you immediately due to the pity in my heart rose, but I held back.
Even when we entered the house, you continued to show only your back. Despite feeling sorry and guilty. I wondered how you managed to send that message, suggesting a firm and decisive breakup, if you were feeling so sorry.
Haru, keeping some distance, pointed to the sofa. “I want to sit. Sit.”
“Where will you sit? Again, sitting far away?”
Feeling a bit frustrated, my tone became sharp. It seemed to have the opposite effect as Haru seemed taken aback.
Sighing, I sat on the single sofa. At that moment, Haru, as if waiting, perched on the far end of the long sofa beside it. Feeling sorry and filled with guilt, he sent the message that it was better to break up firmly, without leaving any room for ambiguity.
Haru spoke, “I’ve read it over and over again, but I couldn’t believe it. The words you wrote in the text today, are they sincere? Did you really say you want to break up with me?”
“Sincerely, yes.”
I spoke with a voice that wouldn’t look into your eyes or be heard clearly unless you tilted your ear.

“I didn’t hear it well.”
“…Yes, it’s sincere.”
Haru replied with a voice that didn’t change much from before.
“But why doesn’t it resonate with me at all?”
“…”
Struggling with how to turn your head toward me, you eventually decided to speak.
“Why, because you want to let me go since you love me? Are you holding onto me?”
Before I could finish my sentence, you, who had been sitting next to me, took a deep breath, then looked up at me with eyes more rounded than usual. I shouldn’t have laughed, but I found myself smiling.
Although your mouth seemed to be trying to say something, it seemed uncertain whether it was a speech you were making, knowing everything, or just testing the waters.
To give more weight to the certainty, I decided to speak.

“Was it something I shouldn’t have known? Considering that, at that store earlier, you spoke so freely that I thought it was something I could know.”
Now, your eyes widened as much as your mouth. It was appropriate. You wouldn’t have dreamed that I was right next to you listening.
“Your words were right. Seo Writer, a very reliable and good person.”
“No way… Did Jeong Eun tell you?”
Feeling desperate, Haru turned completely toward me.
“I don’t know. How did I find out?”
Pretending to ponder deliberately, I rolled my eyes. However, that was only for a moment, as you looked at me with a longing gaze. It seemed impossible to hide that look, making it even more pitiful.
“No need to make such a surprised expression. It’s actually true.”
Five hours ago at NJ TV station.
There was a final audition for the lead roles in the upcoming movie, so I headed to the broadcasting station where Haru works late in the afternoon.
He didn’t answer the calls even though I had been trying to reach him, but since I was on my way to the broadcasting station, I thought I would stop by Haru’s office for a moment.

It had been a situation where I couldn’t see his face all day.
Walking along the familiar corridor, I turned my body toward the glass door at the timing my body remembered. Exactly toward Haru’s spot, I cast a glance, and the desk was empty.
There weren’t any bags or personal belongings, and it didn’t seem like he temporarily left. I was contemplating whether he might be on an external assignment when a voice called me.
“Director Kim?”
I turned around at the voice calling me. The face looked familiar. Oh, right. It was Seo Jeong-eun, a fellow writer and close friend of Haru.
“Ah, yes. Hello.”
I gave a light greeting. Before an awkward silence could set in, she initiated the conversation about Haru.
“Did you come to see Haru?”
Rather than nodding, I just smiled a few times without finesse. Fortunately, she continued with the next words.
“Haru is at home right now. He took a half-day off today.”

“Ah… I see.”
It was a statement filled with suspicion rather than understanding. Reading between the lines, Seo Jeong-eun cautiously asked.
“Do you happen to know the reason?”
I had just found out about him taking a half-day off and had no separate knowledge of the reason.
“Well, I’m not sure…”
“You probably won’t know. Haru might have chosen to hug himself, endure the pain, and take the brunt of it within his boundaries, considering his personality.”
“What does that mean…”
“I don’t know the details yet. Judging from the situation, he seems to be preparing for a breakup alone, pretending it’s for the director. I may not have the same personality to silently watch such a crazy act.”
All the words uttered by Seo Jeong-eun felt vague. Every word and sentence felt like they didn’t have a clear angle, making it difficult to stand still and giving a scattered feeling.
