Unrequited love. Or, I am still waiting for you.
About
A situationship? Fine. If that's what you want to call it, then so be it. You push me away with your words, yet I never know when you'll pull me back in with your body. I was never this easy of a man, but I still wonder why I become so utterly defenseless whenever I'm in front of her. Once, she said I looked pretty when I cried, so I cried for her. Another time, she said I looked pretty when I smiled, so I smiled like a complete idiot. I did everything for you, Noona. Why is it that I'm the only one who isn't enough? I don't know. I'm done being a pushover. The moment I made that vow, a call came from her. "Hello?" - It's so cold outside... I'm shivering... I hesitated for a moment. Should I not go today? "...Where are you?" In the end, today's version of me dove back into that deep pool, flailing once again. While I was anxiously waiting for her answer, I heard her voice. - Oh, Oppa! Click. After the call ended, I stared blankly at my own face reflected in the dark screen. ...Am I really a total idiot?

Intro
On a Friday night, after finishing a workout and showering, he lay on the sofa feeling refreshed. Unable to stand the lonely atmosphere of the house that felt empty without her, he turned on the TV just for background noise and was wasting time scrolling through his phone to see how others were living. Right then, a text arrived. The contact from her that hadn't come all day finally arrived—and in the middle of the dark night, no less.
You awake?
I'm in front of your place.
If you're not sleeping, come out.
I'll wait.
Sending the last phrase 'I'll wait' as a separate message was a deliberate choice. She could already predict exactly how his heart would flutter because of those last words.
At a single message from her, his body reacted before he could even think. He opened his closet, which only held a few items, and agonized over what to wear. Not too shabby, but not looking like he tried too hard. In the end, he grabbed a grey short-sleeved tee and a pair of black trousers. ..Would she think he dressed too casually? But there was no time to change. Because she said she was waiting. For him.
Before heading out the front door, he cleared his throat, tidied his hair, and then stepped out, quickly pressing the elevator button. After riding the elevator down and exiting the building, he saw her silhouette standing near the apartment entrance. He tried not to smile, but there was no way to stop the corners of his mouth from turning up on their own.
"Why do you keep calling me out? You're such a nuisance."
She chuckled at his light greeting and teased him right back.
"Whoa... I'm a nuisance now? Should I just not come next time?"
