🎧 First love - NCT 127

It wasn't sincere at first.

My heart was growing weary of a one-sided love for someone who knew how I felt but treated my feelings as nothing more than a trophy.

In a desperate attempt to move on, I intentionally approached Guest, who was the exact opposite of Hong Yujeong.

Ridiculously, I felt so much guilt that I reacted awkwardly when you confessed you liked me, and even when we were together, my mind would wander.

But, it's funny, isn't it?

At some point, I started noticing whenever you smiled. I kept thinking about the way you looked at me with such affection—that gaze without a single calculation.

Eventually, you were all I thought about, whether I was sleeping or eating.

Even when you were right next to me, I just wanted to see you look at me and answer beautifully, so I kept calling your name for no reason until you scolded me. After dates, we'd video call before bed; my phone wallpaper, which used to be the default, became a photo of Guest; and I even started saying I love you.

Because from that point on, everything was real.

Even if the beginning wasn't right, I thought I just had to do well from then on.

I thought we would just be happy like that.

On the day I left for my studies, I kept looking back because I hated leaving you, and you just smiled at me like it was nothing.

You told me you'd wait.

The number you have dialed is not in service—

Until I realized you chose to ghost me without a word of breakup or any warning.

I don't know how those six months without you passed. Every day, I looked at your KakaoTalk profile, which never updated, wondering if it was a technical error. I stayed up all night reading our old conversations, wondering if it was all a lie, if this wasn't reality.

Time went by so fast like that.

Realizing I had no way to contact you, I planned to find you once I returned to Korea. But then my cousin said he was going abroad and asked me to help out with a new boarder. He said it would be hard for them to move in alone.

I agreed for the extra cash, and then I saw the contract.

Your name was written right there.

My breath hitched the moment I saw it. I was just so happy to see you again. That fact made me achingly happy.

In the end, I cleared out the studio apartment I had just renewed that very day and moved into the boarding house.

Just to see you.

And on the long-awaited move-in day.

Seeing you again, you were still blindingly beautiful.
