“I wasn’t flustered…”
I tried to divert the conversation, avoiding Eun’s gaze, but…
“It’s not like saying I didn’t blatantly do it will make it not true, why tell lies that won’t even be believed.”
Her sharp remark came back.
“…Your name. Here, it means ‘Spring.’ You told me on the day we first met.”
Did I really say that?
Whenever Jun comes to mind, I keep thinking about it, and it might have been one of the stories I gradually revealed to Eun.
“I also want to see you so much right now.”
“What?”
I was shaken so easily by a short sentence that I didn’t expect.
“I didn’t… say that.”
“Alright, let’s pretend you didn’t. But even if you did, it’s okay. Your memories are all yours. Your share in the memories you made with that person is substantial.”
Eun let out a sigh, stretching her legs out and releasing the fatigue from her awkward posture. Of course, even looking at that appearance, my heart’s burden didn’t ease so easily.
“Moreover, when you were doing the homestay, that house was already on sale. Even if you’re not going to meet anyway, what’s wrong with thinking that you miss them for a moment? People in the memories become even more precious and missed for no reason.”
Eun might have said those words for me, who seemed to be losing my heart.
As soon as the sentence that firmly asserted that Jun was just a person in my memories flowed from Eun’s mouth, I felt my chest constricting.
That’s when it happened.
“Here, I brought a limited edition cherry blossom tea with Kim Kanghoon’s face on it. Since we already paid for the water, we should be able to sell it in front of the broadcasting station with at least three times the profit, right? No, maybe we should empty every vending machine we see.”
Opening the driver’s side door with a rattle, Hyunsoo started pushing the bottles, which could not be counted even with a single glance, into the drawer under the passenger seat. It turned out that not as many bottles fit as I thought, so I ended up pouring the rest on the passenger seat.
“Now, each for Haru noona and Eun noona, using my favor.”
On the PET bottles that I held in my hand out of the blue, there was a large photo of actor Kim Kanghoon, smiling widely with his lips stretched out horizontally against the background of cherry blossom petals fluttering in the sky.
My heart, which had become damp in the cold conveyed through my palm, felt like it was taking shape little by little.
“I understand your eager desire to profit from being a sudden peddler, but instead of starting to sell in front of the broadcasting station, you might get caught by the security guards as soon as you lay the mats, and our affectionate colleague writer relationship will go down that path.”
Even though she said quite a sinister thing, I was momentarily speechless at Eun’s refreshing appearance, drinking the flower tea after opening the PET bottle.
“Just now, I think Eun noona said it was an ‘affectionate’ colleague writer relationship. Did I hear wrong? Or did she really say such a thing?”
From behind, I could see Hyunsoo tilting his head. Thanks to the two of them exchanging their words, the feeling that had been settling down little by little rose lightly as if floating.
“That’s right. Haru noona. Haru means ‘spring’ here, right?”
However, the feeling that had gradually surfaced fell down quickly as if it were suddenly pushed down.
“…Did I tell you that?”
“You’re saying like ‘I couldn’t have told you,’ it sounds like, Noona.”
“No, that tone… Yeah, it’s true.”
“Oh, these people are so straightforward. Of course, it wasn’t you who started it, but Eun noona said she could hear what you said when she opened the window. I didn’t even run all the way to the beach, I was just standing in front of this vending machine, and it got blown away by the wind.”
Hyunsoo laughed as he finished the last sentence, shrugging his shoulders, but my shoulders remained silent, not wanting to go along with that rhythm.
“Doesn’t the name Hyunsoo mean anything different here?”
“Haru, if she knew that, we would have had to rent a car when we came here and drag out all the English and body language we don’t even understand.”
“Oh… You’re right.”
I glanced at Hyunsoo and Eun, then turned my gaze to the window, where a calm sea came into view.
Suddenly, I wanted to say thank you, even if it was just a thoughtless sentence, for the sea flowing quietly, unlike my restless heart.
“But Haru, why did you like that person so much? I know all about your dating history, and I think the longest relationship you’ve had so far is probably three months, right? No, at the beginning of the sweetest part of the relationship, I’ve never seen anyone so unenthusiastic about dating. You probably can’t even remember the guy’s name, right?”
I wanted to say that it was a bit too much, but the names of the three men that came to mind in my head got mixed up.
Yeah, I went a bit too far.
“Is that true, Noona? Wow, what kind of person was he that you would say that? He must have been really handsome, or maybe incredibly handsome. It’s one of the two.”

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
