Si-a's POV:
"You are beautiful..."
For the first time in all these long spans of years that we spent with each other, he called me beautiful. With a sad smirk on my face, I gazed at him in awe. "Yeong, you are drunk," I murmured.
He breathed out in a huff and turned his whole face towards me. "In all these years, I never noticed you from this close, but you are quite beautiful too, Si-a." He sounded sobered up.
He was right indeed. In all these years, he never actually noticed my presence as a woman because I was only just a friend to him. But today, his compliment even made my heart ache even more badly.
Both of us silently gawked at each other for a while and he huffed out his warm breath. After a moment, it seemed that he was facing difficulty in keeping his eyes wide open and tried to shut them slowly.
