Daehyun was silent. By his face, the worry was even more visible even in the gloom.
It was the first time I saw Daehyun become that fragile after seeing too much of his strong obstinacy where it was as if no one in this world could break his resolve.
However, I couldn't feel pity, even for a little pity. I didn't have that feeling at the moment. I lost something precious and gave it all to someone I thought that he didn't deserve but in the end, even without him asking me for it, I gave that pity as if I had to give it to him.
"Daehyun ...." I muttered softly. Gritting my teeth, I tried to stabilize my voice so as not to tremble, "There's no 'you and me' for now. But, there's only 'me and him' here." With a pause, I continued, "Daehyun, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say this, but I don't want to hear such words for a while ... I'm sorry."
Even if I conveyed the words gently, I was sure that it would still sound painful to him.
