Hye-Su, still in a daze, nodded slightly as she boarded the bus. She turned back to look at Joon-won, who gave her a small, hopeful smile. The bus doors closed, and as it pulled away, Hye-Su found a seat and sat down, her mind racing.
Joon-won stood at the bus stop, watching the bus disappear into the distance. He let out a deep breath, feeling a mixture of relief and anxiety. He had finally confessed his feelings, but now all he could do was wait for her response.
With that Joon-won quietly made his way back home, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. He had never been this vulnerable before, and it scared him. But at the same time, he felt a sense of hope and anticipation. He spent the rest of the evening trying to distract himself, but his thoughts kept returning to Hye-Su and her reaction.
