At first, it didn’t seem like anything.
Walking alone on the familiar path we always took together, and the emptiness of Yeo-un’s house where we used to hang out. I thought maybe Yeo-un’s family had gone somewhere for a short while. Since Yeo-un’s father had passed away not long ago, I thought their family might need some time.
After a week passed like that, one day, Seol Ji-oh, habitually heading to Yeo-un’s house, saw red eviction notices all over Yeo-un’s house.
He didn’t know what this meant. Only now realizing the situation, Seol Ji-oh sat down in place.
Yeo-un’s family hadn’t gone on a short trip. They had left this house, unable to handle the increasing debt.
He got up and opened Yeo-un’s door. The room, as if Yeo-un had been there just a moment ago, still bore traces of daily life.
It was unbelievable. How could they leave without saying a word to him?
Hot tears poured down Seol Ji-oh’s face. Betrayal, anger, frustration—emotions engulfed his entire body.
When there’s no one but Yeo-un for him…
How can you, too, leave me…
If even you abandon me, what am I supposed to do now?
Seol Ji-oh collapsed.
Why do the things I love always leave me?
Did I do something wrong? Did I harass Yeo-un and behave badly, causing her to leave?
Seol Ji-oh fell into the swamp of being ‘alone.’ There was truly no one around him.
Afterward, Seol Ji-oh suffered for a long time.
The housekeeper who took care of him worried about his condition that didn’t seem to improve, so she contacted his mother, who arrived in Korea after a very long time.
Heewon couldn’t understand why he was suffering like this.
Having a fever every night without any particular reason, not even being able to swallow a spoonful of rice—looking at her son in this state, she sighed.
“Why is he like this? He has never been this sick before.”
Seol Ji-oh opened his eyes at Heewon’s voice. With a dry throat, he called his mother.
“Mom.”
“Yeah, Ji-oh, are you okay?”
“Find Yeo-un, please.”
“What?”
“Where she moved, if there’s anything wrong… Mom, can you check once?”
Stammering, struggling to speak, Heewon seemed surprised at him asking for a favor.
It was almost like the first time he had made such a request to his mother.
He didn’t want to become a bothersome son to her, so he constantly made an effort. He never threw a tantrum that any child could naturally do.
Heewon was a mother who could discard him anytime, and he was afraid of being abandoned.
But even so, today, he couldn’t endure it.
Anyone who could help, he wanted to grab onto them.
Please find Yeo-un…
There are still so many things I haven’t said.
Seol Ji-oh closed his eyes and bit the inside of his lips. Just hearing that name made it feel like tears would burst out at any moment.
Heewon looked at herself and said, as if she were weak,
“Make new friends. Just losing one friend, and you’re like this?”
In response to her contempt, tears streamed down Seol Ji-oh’s eyes.
Yeo-un wasn’t just a friend to him.
Every night, pacing by the window, dreaming for months, and repeatedly whispering the round name…
It was his first love.
Regretting the days when he thought there was plenty of time, Seol Ji-oh lamented.
He should have said he liked her if he knew it would be like this.
Liking only her since childhood. He wished he had said it at least once.
Why didn’t he say a proper word like a fool?
Why did he have the misconception that Yeo-un would stay by his side forever?
Days filled with regret passed, and while the seasons changed countless times, Seol Ji-oh thought of Yeo-un.
However, she never appeared in front of him.
“Why meet me?”
A woman with round pupils looked at Seol Ji-oh and asked. It was obvious from her meticulously styled hair and attire that she had taken time to prepare, even though they only met at home.
However, Seol Ji-oh’s expression changed as soon as he heard the woman’s question.
That sound again.
It was getting a bit annoying. Women always asked the same thing. Even though they clearly knew why they were asking.
In response to Seol Ji-oh’s cooling expression, the woman bit her lower lip. The hand holding the bag tightened.
“Why the hell are we meeting?”
“…Should I tell you? Do you really want to know?”
The woman looked at Seol Ji-oh with trembling eyes.
Seol Ji-oh’s tone was exceptionally gentle, but the content inside was thorny. Pierced by those thorns, the woman’s expression turned hopeless as she averted her gaze.
The time Seol Ji-oh met the woman was only at night, and the place was always at home.
The meaning of these two things was clear. Even though it was a relationship where everything was known from the start, the woman unexpectedly found herself anticipating Seol Ji-oh’s affectionate touch and warm body temperature.
From the beginning, there was no sincerity for him.
“If it’s difficult, should we stop?”
The woman burst into a bitter laugh. At the same time, the teardrop that had been clinging to the woman’s eyes fell to the ground.
