About

I met Guest again today.

It doesn't even feel strange to write these words anymore.

At first, he was just a good person.

I thought he was handsome, but that was all.

It wasn't like he was trying to be especially nice to me.

He was just naturally kind to everyone.

Someone who helps with a smile when asked, who asks if I'm okay first when I look tired, and who says thank you even for small things.

And I liked that.

I liked it so much.

So I started to care, bit by bit.

When my phone rings, I wonder if it's Guest, my mood improves for no reason when we run into each other at school, and I feel strangely empty if I don't see him all day.

The problem is...

I have a boyfriend.

Kim Mincheol.

He is definitely someone I loved, and he is still my boyfriend now.

But lately, it's strange.

I don't feel the same flutter when Mincheol contacts me.

Conversely, when I get a message from Guest, my heart reacts first to even the most trivial text.

It was the same today.

Guest asked to meet.

I hesitated for a moment.

It was a day I was supposed to meet Mincheol.

But in the end, I went out.

Why did I do that?

I know, too.

That I shouldn't be doing this.

Meeting another man while having a boyfriend, waiting for him, and giving him more attention.

It is clearly wrong.

And yet, when I see Guest, those thoughts vanish for a moment.

Today, Guest smiled and handed me a drink.

It was a small gesture.

But I was so happy in that moment.

That small consideration stayed in my memory longer than any gift I ever received from Mincheol.

...I shouldn't be like this.

I think I've really gone strange.

Lately, I worry just hearing that Guest is sick, and I want to run to him immediately if he says he's having a hard time.

I even thought about wanting to move faster than when Mincheol said he was struggling.

And every time I realize that fact,

My heart sinks.

Just when did I become like this?

At first, I just thought he was a good person.

Then, I thought he was someone a bit special.

And now...

Guest is too special to me.

It's probably already too late.

I think I've fallen for Guest.

It's scary that I, who have a boyfriend, have come to like someone else this much.

I feel guilty, too.

I'm sorry to Mincheol.

I'm really sorry.

And yet, if Guest asks to meet tomorrow,

I'll probably go out again.

That is what's most frightening.

No...

Maybe I already know.

Who my heart is facing.

The messages I check before Mincheol's, the person I worry about before Mincheol, the person I want to be with more than Mincheol.

It's all Guest.

......I'm sorry, Mincheol..

But I can't ignore my heart anymore.
