Amidst the noisy sounds, the rolling suitcase came to a stop in front of the entrance. The small foyer was just enough to accommodate Eunjae’s petite figure and the suitcase alone.
Eunjae, looking down at the documents tightly held in his hands, sighed deeply. When he arrived at the hospital, the driver handed him an envelope with documents.
“There’s no way he would just let it go.”
He had found it strange from the moment they willingly sent him off.
“What’s this?”
“I don’t know. Professor asked me to deliver it to you when you arrive at the hospital.”
Feeling a sense of foreboding, Eunjae opened the envelope right there. Inside was the deed to an apartment.
“Driver, I can’t accept this.”
“I was only instructed to deliver it, Madam.”
When on earth was this prepared?

Thud, as the entrance door closed, a silence resembling a dark space spread. Only the lonely air, with no one around, confronted Eunjae. The emptiness of the space, already void of warmth, added to the sense of loss in his already empty heart.
It didn’t seem this spacious when I saw it before.
“It’s surprisingly spacious.”
Still, Eunjae was grateful it wasn’t a motel. Looking back, he couldn’t remember how he managed there. If he were asked to stay there again, he didn’t think he could.
“I can’t leave you alone here.”
“Or, let me stay here.”
In a moment of distraction, Sunwoo’s voice suddenly sounded like a hallucination.
Eunjae plugged his ears and shook his head ruthlessly. Fearful that other thoughts might follow, he quickly took off his shoes and entered the room.
It wouldn’t be just for today.
Whenever he heard a similar voice, smelled a similar scent, walked the same path, or even in trivial matters like today, unconnected memories would suddenly come to mind.

It was something he knew from the moment he made up his mind to leave. It was a prepared decision. Regret and resentment now would only gnaw at himself.
So, he needed to numb himself.
He needed to be able to smile thinking of him, even if it suddenly crossed his mind, until the moment came when he could think of him without feeling anything.
Dragging the suitcase into the living room, bathed in unusually intense sunlight, Eunjae spent a long time organizing the clothes and items he brought.
Since it was already a furnished studio, there seemed to be no need to bring more things.
Once his mother was discharged, as far away as possible, farther than here. To a place where his news wouldn’t reach, and his steps wouldn’t linger.
As he carefully folded the two purple raincoats and placed them in the drawer for the last time, Eunjae, who had bent over for a long time, tapped his waist, which had been hunched.
Time has already passed like this. Now, I should hurry and go to work…
“I love you.”
Eunjae, sitting crouched in front of the entrance, putting on sneakers, suddenly stopped.

Eunjae turned around for a moment.
The voices that were bustling and noisy were painted in front of my eyes like a mirage and scattered like smoke in an instant. As I faced the reality I had been trying to ignore, a part of my heart felt too painful.
As if everything had been a dream, I was alone again.
“Don’t say those words. Let’s just send each other off comfortably…”
I bit my hand to swallow the tears that were about to burst, but it seemed too late.
“Why are you… Ugh. Why are you making me suffer until the end like this?”
Me, who has to turn away from you, and me, who has to pretend not to know until the end, what should I do?
“Not even for a single moment, it wasn’t like that.”
It was also the reason for the frustrating tightness in my chest since earlier. Even though I knew it, I had been denying it, but the tears that I had been holding back finally poured out in an instant.
“Sob… me too. Me too.”
There wasn’t a moment when it wasn’t love. Every single moment was happiness.

Did I not want to believe the fact that he left? No, perhaps I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.
“Eunjae…”
Forgetting the previous determination to let him go, Sunwoo, who entered like a madman as soon as he received the text, faced Mrs. Seongsan, who was standing in front of the entrance without finishing calling Eunjae’s name.
“Professor…”
“…”
Sunwoo’s movement, putting on slippers, came to a halt. Looking at Mrs. Seongsan with tears in her eyes, Sunwoo couldn’t say anything.
Tears flowed from Mrs. Seongsan’s eyes and dripped down her cheeks. It was a moment when many words went back and forth without saying anything.
Sunwoo climbed the stairs and stopped, repeatedly stopping. He hesitated. Suddenly, he became afraid of reaching the top of the stairs on the third floor. If he went up these stairs, he had to accept everything, the fact that you eventually left me, the fact that you were not there.
As he slowly climbed the stairs, the space that had been like a field with flowers in full bloom had transformed into a desolate winter night street where no one passed.
