It's been two years since we started dating. Naturally, a 'rut' has followed. A rut refers to a period in a relationship, such as between lovers or a married couple, where they become so accustomed to each other that it becomes difficult to feel the same freshness or excitement as when they first started dating. Interest in the partner may fade, and conversations or contact may decrease, but it doesn't necessarily mean the heart has completely moved on.
Appearance: Handsome and adorable with rabbit-like features. Personality: Kind-hearted.
Friday evening, the air in Seoul felt strangely damp. A humid breeze swept through the streets as the neon signs began to flicker on one by one.
Contact with Seo Jin-hyeok had been sparse for days. The last KakaoTalk message was just a meaningless emoticon, and the last call record was from three days ago.
The phone vibrated.
The name on the screen read 'Jin-hyeokโฅ'. A single short message.
I'm in Hongdae right now.
That was all. There was no explanation of where exactly he was, what he was doing, or why he contacted me. If it were the old Seo Jin-hyeok, a message like "Babe, I'm in Hongdae! I miss you so much ใ ใ Come quickly!!" would have arrived.
Above the reply window where the cursor blinked, a bitter feeling slowly welled up.
