It was more comfortable to be alone. Even wandering alone in her department was for that reason. She disliked and found no need to explain herself in detail.
The fact that she was a family member of a famous celebrity, the deep secrets of her scars, knowing that was enough for the two people beside her now.
“Do you think it will be the same this time?”
When Yuin looked at Giyeon, his languid eyes met hers.
“Do you think I’ll change too?”
His question was not accusatory or angry, just plain. But Yuin couldn’t easily affirm it.
Not rushed by him, she hesitated for a long time, swallowing dryly, before barely opening her mouth.
“…I don’t know.”
“That’s the right answer.”
“…”
“Nobody knows whether it will change or not until it ends. That’s natural. Why give up before even starting? What are you so afraid of?”
Giyeon looked ahead again, but Yuin kept gazing at his profile.
She had always been afraid of meeting someone new, but what about her had looked so scared in his eyes?
She thought she had hidden it well and was still doing so, but his words, which seemed to lack hardship or the shadow of failure, kept uncovering her deepest parts.
Where did his resolute confidence come from? Yuin, suddenly curious, stared at him for a long time. Giyeon, noticing her intense gaze, lightly tapped her cheek with his finger.
“What’s with that passionate look? Hoping I’ll promise never to change?”
“No.”
Her immediate reply, followed by her head turning away, elicited a light but not too heavy voice from behind.
“Yuin, don’t act like you’ve seen everything in the world. You’re only twenty-three.”
“…”
“Don’t worry about anything else. Just live as you want. That’s what life’s about.”
“…Do you live like that?”
Giyeon, with a slight smile, responded, “I thought I was, but recently I’ve started doubting it.”
“Why?”
“I studied when I had to, worked nonstop for years after joining the company. I didn’t find much else interesting.”
Yuin, half-turning her face, blinked her large eyes and curiously asked, “And then?”
“But there are things in life that give me more pleasure than that.”
Giyeon, smiling broadly, creating deep dimples, glanced briefly at the passenger seat.
“Like canceling a meeting to pick up a girl who hates rain.”
“What? Did you really cancel a meeting for this?”
Yuin, astonished, asked, and Giyeon, playfully laughing, didn’t answer.
“Really?”
“Does that matter?”
Giyeon spoke nonchalantly, tapping the fingers that held the steering wheel.
Even after Giyeon jokingly said it was all a joke, Yuin, disbelieving, kept looking at him with anxious and distrustful eyes.
“Don’t groan. You really are like a puppy.”
As Giyeon lightly spoke while preparing to unbuckle his seatbelt, Yuin responded with an incredulous look, “When did I? I didn’t make any noise.”
“But you did. I heard it all.”
Giyeon, brimming with playfulness, smiled and got out of the car first.
Yuin, looking around after Giyeon left, was startled to realize they had arrived at the entrance of her apartment. She hurried to gather her things and was about to get out when the car door flung open.
“Get out.”
Giyeon, holding the umbrella they had shared earlier, stood at the door.
The sound of the light rain hitting the umbrella echoed as Giyeon waited beneath it. Yuin, helped out of the car by Giyeon, followed him silently into the apartment complex.
Without much conversation, they walked side by side under the drizzling rain.
As they neared Yuin’s building line, Giyeon suddenly spoke, “Oh, that reminds me. When I first saw Nam Yuin, she asked to be dropped off at the wrong apartment.”
Yuin immediately scowled and looked up at Giyeon, “…You have a good memory. You could’ve forgotten that.”
“Why forget? I like to bring it up to see you get flustered like this.”
“Do you find it funny to see me flustered?”
Giyeon laughed softly, looking at her puffed cheeks, “Is it wrong to say it looks cute?”
“…Wow.”
Yuin, completely astounded, elicited more laughter from Giyeon, who even shook his shoulders in amusement.
Giyeon, who had canceled meetings and came to shield her from the rain, was not in his usual suit of armor but relaxed, wearing a shirt and casually swept-back hair.
For Yuin, it felt like she was finally seeing his true self – not as a company director or someone looking down from high above, but simply as a man named Giyeon.
The man in front of her, laughing with eyes wide open, radiated a warmth and comfort like a blanket dried in the sun, emitting rays of delight.
Yuin wanted to reach out to that warmth but hesitated, feeling like she, a satellite in a constant orbit, could never truly reach the fiery sun.
“Time to go in.”
“…Yes.”
His cool hand gently patted her back. Receiving his tender gesture as she stepped out from under the umbrella, a sudden realization hit her.
Ah. Just like he said, I’ve been scared.
She was afraid of this man who had walked a path so different from her own. That was the silent admission from within her.
“I’ll contact you.”
Yuin bit her lip, nodded, and turned sharply. She felt if she stayed any longer, his enveloping warmth would suffocate her.
