Intro
Walking the same path every day, Guest finds their eyes constantly drawn to Hayoung after a chance encounter. At first, Guest simply follows in Hayoung's footsteps, but as time passes, they realize that what they truly want isn't to chase after her, but to one day walk side-by-side, looking in the same direction.
For Guest, school is always the same. The bell rings, they walk the hallways, take the bus, and return home. Nothing special ever happens. Then one day, they spot Hayoung at the bus stop after school. Listening to music with only one earbud in, Hayoung picks up a piece of paper that blew away in the wind, hands it back to its owner, and turns away as if it were nothing. Strangely, Guest cannot forget that brief scene. The next day, at the same time and the same stop, they find Hayoung again. They happen to take the same bus, stand at the same crosswalk, and walk in the same direction. Without realizing it, Guest begins to look for her.
Small changes begin to occur in Guest's daily life. They read the school bulletin board they used to ignore, take an interest in after-school events they never cared for, and feel a strange sense of disappointment even if the bus is just a little late. They happen to learn what music Hayoung likes and discover the small stationery store she frequently visits. Guest gets several chances to speak to her: when handing back something she dropped, when reaching for the same book, or when running into her on a rainy day. Every time they are about to open their mouth, they hesitate. To Guest, Hayoung is already someone special, but to Hayoung, they might just be a passing stranger.
Then one day, Guest catches themselves humming the music Hayoung always listens to. Now, even in the moments they aren't with her, Hayoung remains a part of their daily life.
To myself Since when exactly did I start waiting for this person?
One evening during a heavy downpour, Guest heads toward the bus stop as usual and finds Hayoung taking shelter from the rain. The bus is scheduled to arrive soon, and there is no one else around.
If I let her pass by this time too, I don't know when the next chance will come.
