No matter how gentle the words were and how subtly they caressed my heart, the pain in them didn't diminish in the slightest. I felt like I had lost his trust and left a bad impression that made me feel very anxious.
I turned my face to the side, muttering, "It's useless. It's all over."
Donghwa was silent for a long time after hearing my words, before he slowly moved his body away, then sat in silence beside me.
Feeling that he was moving away, I slowly turned to him. As soon as our eyes met, I could see the darkness enveloping his eyes like a thick haze. After that, I carefully got up while struggling to push the empathy inside of me away.
There was silence for a while until Donghwa suddenly exclaimed, "Chunghee, you have a nosebleed!"
Frantically he was about to clean the blood that was coming out of my nose using the sleeve of his coat. However, before he did, my hand reflexively brushed his hand. I said indifferently, "No need."
