“H-how does a triceratops look like a dinosaur?”
Her face turned pale as she took off her gloves to search for triceratops on her phone.
“No! It’s a rabbit.”
But after alternately looking at her phone and the dinosaur she made, she soon looked disheartened.
“Oh. Well. Kids who look like dinosaurs are good too. Health is the most important, right? Haha. You look healthy.”
I tried to comfort her. The teachers next to me also started comforting her, and after she relaxed a bit, she sighed deeply and asked the teacher if she could order the cake as she designed.
No. Then why did she come out with me to make this?
She was insisting on having the cake she made. When I looked at her with a determined gaze, she smiled brightly.
She knew. Her weapon. In the end, I raised both hands to her.
We came out carrying the cakes we made, well packaged, one in each hand. She took the cake I made, and I took the cake she made.
“Wasn’t it fun today?”
We went to a nearby cafe. We decided to wait there until her husband came to pick her up. It seemed more comfortable for both of us.
“Yes. But is it okay not to make it yourself?”
“Yes.”
She answered without any regret.
“But why did you want to make it with me?”
As I spoke, she, who had been laughing coolly, glanced at the cake she made beside her.
“I want to become friends with Doyul, but it seems like Doyul doesn’t want to be close to me.”
“That’s…”
“I know. Because I’m your ex-girlfriend, right?”
She knew very well.
“I’m not forcing the relationship, but I still wanted to try… I’m sorry.”
“Ha.”
As I sighed, her shoulders slumped even more.
“If Doyul feels uncomfortable with this relationship, I won’t push it anymore.”
“…It’s not comfortable.”
The shoulders that had shrunk at my words slumped down to the ground as if they had collapsed.
“Just, let’s take it slow. Actually, I don’t fully understand the relationships with Jiseojoon, Olive You, no, Olivia, and even your husband. They are relationships that I can’t define in my dictionary.”
“Yes……”
“I know I can’t define every relationship. So, let’s just take it slow for now.”
The shoulders that had slumped at my words suddenly lifted, and her posture straightened. It was the first time I had seen someone whose inner and outer selves were so clearly visible.
Being with her, despite having a past that couldn’t be ignored, was it because of this that I felt comfortable?
People who, on the surface, acted indifferent, uninterested, and high and mighty, but behind their backs, laughed haughtily at others’ private lives on anonymous forums.
People who, while muttering when I passed by, were surprised and averted their gaze when our eyes met.
Struggling with such people, being with her made me feel comfortable. No, it was good.
What weighed on my mind was, of course, my current boyfriend’s first love.
So, I suggested to her that we should get to know each other slowly. If I couldn’t understand it in my common sense, I would distance myself. That’s how I decided to think about this relationship.
“By the way, Dayul. Anything troubling you these days?”
“Why?”
“I lost weight.”
She explained, making her cheeks look hollow.
I smiled at her, praised her, and thanked her. Then she quietly said,
“It’s not praise… My skin elasticity…”
I decided to ignore those words.
Her husband came to pick her up 30 minutes later. Despite his suggestion to have dinner together, she declined and headed to Jiseojoon’s apartment.
“Did you come?”
Jiseojoon greeted me at the entrance. I put the cake box on the floor and hugged Jiseojoon.
“What’s wrong? Something happened?”
“No? Do I have to hug you only when something happens?”
As he asked, he let me go and examined me all over. Finding nothing unusual, he nodded and picked up the cake box on the floor.
“Is this what you made?”
“No, Olive You did.”
“She rejected it, why?”
Jiseojoon looked at the box with a suspicious expression.
“We decided to exchange them. The taste is good. The ingredients were all made by the teachers, and we just did the decoration.”
Satisfied with my explanation, he took the cake box to the kitchen.
“Want some coffee?”
“Yeah.”
Pouring coffee and opening the cake box, Jiseojoon seemed taken aback.
“A dinosaur?”
My eyes were right, as always. People’s eyes are all the same.
“No.”
“What on earth did she want to make?”
At Jiseojoon’s serious question, I burst into laughter.
????????
The weather had become quite chilly.
Wearing a thin coat, I smelled the musty scent.
“Hope it doesn’t smell like a closet.”
Due to the sudden chill in the weather, I didn’t have time to prepare in advance, so I just pulled out my clothes. I was worried that it might smell like a closet, but since I didn’t have suitable clothes, I decided to wear them anyway.
“I’ll be back! We have a company dinner today! I might be late.”
“Be careful driving!”
The same routine morning commute. I boarded the bus heading to the company, thinking about today’s tasks.
Not only me but also others brought out thick clothes due to the suddenly cold weather. I regretted not wearing a scarf to protect my neck from the biting wind.
Arriving at the company with my body all hunched up, I greeted a colleague.
“Manager, it’s really cold today.”
Baek In-ha came into the office fully armed.
“Wearing that much and saying it’s cold, isn’t that a bit unfair?”
The team leader, who followed behind, laughed while looking at In-ha.
“Good morning, Team Leader.”
As the team members greeted, the team leader nodded in response, scanned the office once, and then spoke.
“Today’s company dinner will be with the HR team. Didn’t the HR team owe us a favor recently? The HR team leader is supposed to pay us back today. Let’s have some beef after a long time.”
“Really? Wow!”
Baek In-ha was delighted at the news of beef.
Beef. I also really like it…
Eating with the HR team made me feel uneasy, especially because Yoon-ah, that woman, was in the HR team.
“Manager, should we eat a little less for lunch?”
Without a plan, I forced a smile while looking at the cheerful In-ha.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
