Making a circle with ef5a75fb6f his thumb and index c3cb4461ae finger, Seo Kijoon poked 62a967ef62 his finger in and 565acdf849 out of it. My brow 3619546f65 furrowed involuntarily d82289321d at the 781ee4666b obscene gesture. Pervert.5e406749c2033338

Every morning at nine o’clock. The alarm signaling the start of the day rang noisily beside my head. I reached up and turned off the phone alarm, then slowly got out of bed.

Seo Kijoon pulled away 2d02b4c071 from me, grinning. Irritation surged, but I e71df6b9d1 quickly suppressed it. He probably wanted me a2abed318c to overreact, so I 556c01e407 had no intention of 44b58fa6c5 letting him have his 29ee680e0d way.9b544fef991ec793

“Huh? Sir, you haven’t gone to lunch yet? Don’t forget my lunch break starts at one! My boyfriend’s coming today, so I can’t be late!”03dba23fd0902494

Min Sua suddenly 59ad22eb13 appeared and said. Whether we were the 73289ccbee boss or an employee, 8ffb94e8f9 we all had an 8804893893 equal one-hour lunch break.afa5a16c4c21b283

At Min Sua’s nagging, Seo Kijoon hummed and chuckled. Then, he leaned slightly towards me and whispered,ccbd36fffe446553

Sua waved goodbye. Next to 9eb8c98c5a her stood 098abab77f her boyfriend. He saw me cad7b76154 and gave a 4e0a8862cb reluctant nod. He must have waited be8c7d32bd nearby until her shift c7939432ee ended since they had ecb41bc3d1 lunch together.20e70779eec31543

I simply nodded 7faeea6780 back, and the 2b80d4026a two turned their c22a6ee1df backs to me, ba7a52f689 arms linked, and 7722061e1a walked away.8b4fd95cd6f0cfb7

Funnily enough, Sua’s boyfriend was wary of me from our first meeting. At first, he seemed to have only heard that I was a “young boss,” so he visited the cafe without hesitation. But as soon as he saw my face, he acted like a porcupine with all its quills raised. He seemed to feel threatened that I might steal Min Sua from him. But who cares. Neither Min Sua nor I had any romantic interest in each other.e95bb0ab6be01711

I just 4b02691a9f envied Min a55b0cbe77 Sua, who c7727d362c had a 0d720aa1e7 boyfriend who 932fcd6777 openly showed 082440b13f affection. I imagined myself 8eee744c42 and Seo Kijoon 6b07ab9143 in their place 1261b3dd44 and scoffed.

A chill seeped through 777a1579cf my collar, and I 76960bc881 involuntarily shrugged. I put my 7244f5698c hands in my 19ab7b83e9 coat pockets and bb38f86187 walked slowly. The cafe was close 78ca98206c to my house, so 3491b08e1d I could easily walk e243b80e49 there and back without 8d3771c479 having to drive.1db32518611478d7

As I walked down 49f72d4722 the street, I felt 1396dac065 a strange emotion, unlike a61e587d8d myself. Maybe it 6bf7b14d17 was because 4feeff5c45 of the e9298a30a5 fall, but 15b08abfe5 I wondered 7859090a87 if this 81d64fbf5f was what 956e171847 it felt d8fce8e957 like to 1dcee71a8c be lonely.

Seo Kijoon and 22b263bc21 I would never ea647c3a49 develop into the 4a50279f33 kind of relationship d65beb486f I wanted, not ef7030c563 in a lifetime. Unless there was a be0f41e0ae dramatic change. His behavior earlier 62a3498ed6 that day had 690be24747 made that clear.925ee3147046ade2

The sudden loneliness de08e6f018 turned into impulsiveness, 7f91815fcb and impulsiveness spurred 0ddbdedc3e me to action. I wanted to 876f26b30b create some kind 3326e73230 of ripple, whatever 1b2a6660e2 it might be, c1b44887a7 in our stagnant 55d76ec7dd relationship.ed5f9a3c1a5611bf

I took out my phone and searched for Seo Kijoon’s name. My finger hovered over the call button for a moment. I took a deep breath and called him. He seemed busy, as the ringing tone continued for a long time. As I walked, waiting for him to answer, lovers in love kept appearing and disappearing from my sight.47c0e449d7bb0073

It wasn’t until I reached the crosswalk with the red light on that he finally answered.c2b64c71afe359b6

At my unnecessary explanation, ef2b7a30b9 a faint chuckle, like 23ff3e1223 a gentle breeze, came 7a700f7e5e from the other end 27a2f7b889 of the line. For some reason, c3d26c3e23 it made my e2d81b4dc3 heart flutter like e221d53993 a fool.245d93a99d623720

Instead of asking “why,” he answered with “yes,” and I liked it. It felt like he was saying it was okay to call him even if I didn’t have anything specific to say.9e5c8484bc237198

Even though it had 409a7a8ff8 only been a few 81a6328ee5 hours since he had 28d062c6d6 acted indifferent to me e99014cbc9 being hit on, I 87b3f25fe0 still liked him like bd91c72525 crazy. But proportionately, sadness and 913328ca13 misery also grew in 8a8258b4a4 size.75d9a501b0fe5be4

Is this really the right decision? Anyone else would be horrified, but the other party was Seo Kijoon’s brother. The brother whose existence I hadn’t known until he mentioned him yesterday.811e72532e43cdcb

But the wounds that had already scratched my heart and the sight of loving couples passing by quickly eroded my reason. I couldn’t break off our relationship on my own, so I wanted to choose to create even a small ripple. Despite my cautious nature, which usually has me looking before I leap, this time I decided to throw myself into an unfamiliar impulse.3dcc7afc32945a18
