“…”

The place he can get the closest to her, with out her permission.

So, at Woo-hyun’s phrases that he would keep right here, Yoo-hwa pressed her eyes tightly. The warmth rushed in. She pressed her chilly palms collectively and regarded up at Woo-hyun. The morning solar was shining behind his again. Simply it was making her cry.

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“Are we going to eat collectively if I’m?”

“…”

“Then, I’m hungry.”

His low voice accompanied the wind. Just like the wind that scattered her hair as if it was nothing, it made her coronary heart flutter. However she was too cautious to be joyful.

“I believe there’s no place to go as a result of it’s nonetheless early…”

Yoo-hwa awkwardly swept down her white neck and turned her gaze away.

“… I’ve nothing to eat however ramyeon. Would you want to come back in if that’s okay? If we hold standing right here like this, my neighbors would possibly assume I’m bizarre.”

In truth, it didn’t matter how her neighbors noticed her, however Yoo-hwa gave him a trivial motive and turned her physique sideways to permit him to enter. Woo-hyun, who raised himself like somebody who had been ready for these phrases, got here in with gentle steps.

“Excuse me.”

Including a well mannered excuse, Woo-hyun entered the home and took a deep breath. His shoulders went up and down, and his again regarded so snug that it was unusual.

“Wash up for a bit and are available. I imply, you didn’t get to clean up yesterday.”

“Yeah.”

His voice was gentle. Woo-hyun’s face, half-turned, was as gentle as his voice. In contrast to her, who was feeling a bit of awkward and unusual, Woo-hyun remained calm as if he had returned to his rightful place.

To the purpose that she was suspicious that it is perhaps an act. He was performing pure, like he did when he first met her within the redevelopment space.

“The lavatory is over there.”

As an alternative of shifting to the place the place Yoo-hwa’s finger was pointing, Woo-hyun turned and stopped in entrance of her. His fingertips, which reached out hesitantly, touched Yoo-hwa’s face unnaturally. His hand adopted alongside the traces of her face to her temple, her cheek, and flowed down the tip of her chin.

Like somebody making an attempt to test if what they’re seeing is actual.

After checking Yoo-hwa with out saying a phrase, Woo-hyun quietly entered the toilet. Solely the sound of water pouring from the sink was heard past the door.

The second she was alone, the warmth rushed to the place the place Woo-hyun’s hand had handed.

Feeling the feeling that was so vividly transmitted that it was scary, Yoo-hwa wrapped her cheeks along with her palms.

… He wasn’t feeling calm both.

“…That is actually all I’ve to eat.”

The easy desk consisted of a pot with two boiled ramyeon packets, kimchi, plates to eat, and a ladle. Even the kimchi was a small quantity, with solely about 5 mouthfuls earlier than it ran out.

“Thanks for the meals.”

Woo-hyun made eye contact along with her and thanked her. His hair, which had been dried with a hairdryer after being washed, shone within the sunshine.

“Aren’t you busy?”

Yoo-hwa requested whereas filling the empty bowl with ramyeon, as if making an attempt to interrupt the awkward silence.

“Don’t fear about it.”

“I see.”

The ambiance was much more awkward than earlier than she began the dialog. However she appeared to be the one one pondering that, as Woo-hyun started to eat the ramyeon calmly.

“What are you going to do now?”

Woo-hyun requested, after emptying the bowl of ramyeon Yoo-hwa had given him straight away.

“I’m unsure.”

Yoo-hwa blurred her phrases, decreasing the chopsticks she was holding about midway.

“I actually don’t know reside this time.”

It was apparent that getting near Woo-hyun once more would make it laborious to get an everyday job. She had all the time dreamed of residing a standard life, so she felt misplaced.

“I’ll have to consider it.”

Answering nonchalantly, Yoo-hwa picked up the chopsticks once more.

The dialog with Woo-hyun appeared to be reduce off. Since they have been sitting across the desk consuming ramyeon, it was as if that they had returned to the home within the redevelopment space, underneath the shabby ceiling. Again then, a time that occurred so way back that it even appeared to have stopped. It was a spot that harm her to the purpose of feeling numb, however had a nostalgic odor.

The stone steps the place she sat subsequent to Woo-hyun, the outdated wall the place they might hear one another’s voices, and the door with the opaque glass.

After the meal, Yoo-hwa took a bottle of coke out of the fridge. She divided the soda she had purchased to drink when she felt stuffy and handed it to Woo-hyun.

“There’s no espresso. That is all I’ve to drink.”

“Thanks.”

Yoo-hwa took a step again and checked out Woo-hyun sitting in her room. She thought it was spacious when she was alone, however having Woo-hyun right here made it really feel cramped. Woo-hyun raised his glass and regarded round the home whereas he drank it.

“You threw away most of your stuff.”

Yoo-hwa nodded barely at Woo-hyun’s phrases.

“Yeah. I threw away loads of stuff I couldn’t use as a result of it was outdated. Give me the glass if you’re performed. I’ll do the dishes.”

“Is there something I may also help with?”

Woo-hyun requested, giving her the glass. Their fingertips overlapped as she took it. Regardless that it will need to have been lower than 1% of their pores and skin space, she felt like her fingertips have been alive and her coronary heart was pounding.
