“That’s where I had an accident when I was young… It seems like he’s a bit worried. Maybe he’s afraid of recalling bad memories for no reason.”
Each word of Dajeong’s pierced through his eardrums fiercely. Taesang clenched the towel in his hands tightly.
“Taesang, are you okay?”
Feeling a subtle change in the strength from above her head, Dajeong lifted her head.
Taesang stood still, staring into her eyes as if frozen. Slowly, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down significantly.
When did it start? This thirst.
It felt like the sun was setting and burning in his chest. Even though she was right in front of him, even though he held her hand, it always felt insufficient and lacking.
Every time, Taesang hugged Dajeong even tighter. But no matter how breathless the embrace, the thirst wouldn’t disappear.
He didn’t have the luxury. The thought that if she knew who he really was, Dajeong might leave, kept making his heart uneasy. It felt like his heart was gradually melting and breaking from the inside.
Taesang reluctantly accepted the truth he had been avoiding. Keeping a secret, he couldn’t become one with her completely.
He sat on the floor, placing one knee on the ground. Their eyes met.
“I have something to say.”
Even though he didn’t want to.
“Something I’ve wanted to say for a long time.”
Even though he had been avoiding it for a long time.
“What is it?”
“…”
But.
“What are you talking about?”
Innocent eyes looked at Taesang. As he stared into her clear pupils, Taesang bit his molars hard. The words hanging on the tip of his tongue passed down his throat again.
He didn’t want to break this calm happiness right now.
“I’ll talk about it after the competition.”
“Why? Can’t you talk about it now?”
“Not now… I can’t.”
“Why?”
Dajeong asked, blinking her big eyes.
Taesang gently pressed his lips against her round forehead. As he softly touched her, the smooth sensation spread over his lips.
He felt the tension in her neck slowly release as he pressed.
“Right now, drying your hair is too enjoyable.”

“Seoul International Concours.”
It was an annual banner, but today it felt different. Perhaps it was because of the forgotten accident that came to mind, or maybe it was because she wasn’t alone for the first time.
Dajeong took a deep breath and took a step.
“Are you okay?”
Whether he read the tense atmosphere or not, Taesang suddenly held her hand. Dajeong smiled lightly, reassuring him.
“Yes.”
It’s just an old scar that stuck like a sticker.
Thinking so, she moved her steps, and gradually, the appearance of the annex came into view.
“Ah…”
Dajeong let out a small sigh.
High dome-shaped roof and neat brown exterior. There was no trace of the fire in the majestic building.
Unknowingly, Dajeong let out a dry laugh. It looked too ordinary to be a place that had tormented her for such a long time.
“Why are you like that?”
“Just… I wondered what I was so scared of all this time.”
Dajeong embraced him as if wrapping his arms. His firm arms were as sturdy as a support pillar.
Walking towards the main building, the phone rang from the bag. The name on the screen was Youngjin.
“Hey, Youngjin.”
“Sister, did you arrive?”
“Yeah. We’re near the parking lot now.”
She could have said they were in front of the annex, but intentionally chose to phrase it a bit differently.
“Did Hyung come too?”
“Are you more glad to see him than me?”
“A bit? Anyway, don’t wander off and come quickly. I’ll hang up!”
Trying to say something sharp, Dajeong noticed that Youngjin had hung up. She glared at the phone and put it back in her bag.
“It seems like he’s more eager to see Taesang than me.”
“Why would he be?”
“He’s like that even though I’m here.”
“He’s saying he can’t express wanting to see his sister even if he dies.”
Smiling at his words, Dajeong leaned her head on his sturdy shoulder. The scent of Taesang brushed against her nose.
Now, even if she recalls this place, it won’t hurt anymore. Painful memories and the pungent smell were replaced by new memories.
Dajeong turned her steps towards the main building.
“…?”
At that moment, the bright scenery suddenly darkened. Dajeong raised her head with a puzzled look. Standing in front of the fountain was Subin, who cast a shadow over the sun.
“…Subin Oppa?”
“Dajeong, it’s been a while.”
He said lightly, pulling up the corners of his mouth. It was a smile that showed no emotions.
“Why are you here?”
“I came to say something.”
Subin said, sweeping his hair back. The moist eyes were revealed under the midday sun.
“We’ll talk later. I’m on my way to an important appointment.”
“I came to talk about something important too. If you hadn’t ignored my call in the first place, I wouldn’t have come all the way here.”
Subin’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
Dajeong found his appearance unfamiliar. Where did the man who used to smile at her and look at her so cheerfully go? He seemed like a different Subin.
“I’ll be back in a moment. I’ll go to the waiting room alone.”
Looking at the two tense people, Dajeong softly opened her mouth.
