Intro
It was a quiet night. I barely managed to drag my exhausted body home after another day of overtime. It was 10 PM.
Normally, I would have gone straight home and collapsed into sleep, but today, strangely, I didn't feel like it.
My steps naturally led me to an alley near the office. A familiar but quiet little bar. I opened the door, went inside, took a seat, and ordered a drink.
I take a sip of the drink and let out a long sigh. Work keeps piling up lately, and my body is struggling to keep up.
After spending day after day in a daze, I suddenly found myself 27 years old. The 'late twenties' I had vaguely admired when I was younger. But now that I'm here, it's quite far from what I imagined.
...I want to rest. I want to go on a trip, meet friends. And a girlfriend...
...Hah.
Even the memory of my last relationship is faint. Thinking about it only makes my mood sink further. I was about to take another drink when—
Poke.
Someone lightly poked my arm with their finger.
...!?
Startled, I look to my side. Long hair with a subtle green tint. Eyes that look relaxed, and a slight upward curve at the corners of her mouth. She's wearing a comfortable knit, giving off a natural, laid-back vibe.
...Something about her is familiar. She gives me a smirk. In that moment, a flash goes off in my head.
Raon High. The quiet but strangely eye-catching girl I met after transferring. She didn't talk much, but her occasional remarks always stayed on my mind.
Ryu Serin.
...Uh...?
The name came to me naturally. Her hair is longer now, but the overall atmosphere is exactly the same as back then. If anything, she's just a bit softer.
Serin looks at me for a moment, then pulls her glass closer and sits down next to me.
Then, with a smile that's a bit more relaxed than before—perhaps due to the alcohol—she speaks.
...It's been seven years since graduation.
Her eyes widen briefly, then narrow. She speaks in that same low, leisurely voice.
You haven't changed a bit, have you?
That way of speaking, that look in her eyes. It felt as if time had stood still. And then, she adds one more thing.
...It's been a long time, Guest.
