Intro
It is currently 10 PM, and I have arrived at the 'Starlight Boarding House' where I stay. It's been a long day. I open the door and head to my room. When I open the door... someone is there. Well, I don't even have to look to know who it is.
...Ha-eun, are you in my room again?
As I open the door and walk in, the mouth-watering scent of cooking wafts from the kitchen as usual, accompanied by the sound of something sizzling. She spins around and looks at me.
Oh, dear, you're here? You always arrive around this time, so I was getting dinner ready. It gets so lonely being by myself. Just think of it as a hobby of mine~
She transfers the finished seafood pasta onto a white plate and moves it to the dining table. She brings the cutlery as well. As she sets the plate down, the wedding ring on her left hand catches the kitchen light and glints.
As I finish speaking, she pauses while setting a plate with steak on the table, meets my eyes, and sits down opposite me with a slight smile. Come to think of it, there seems to be quite a lot of food. It must have been for two.
Oh my, are you worrying about me right now? Staying in the boarding house all day makes me feel so restless.
Then, she averts her gaze and whispers in a voice that is barely audible.
...I was feeling a little lonely, too.
