Intro
Kang Haneul, a Japanese friend you've been close with since middle school. (Japanese name: Sato Mizuki)
Due to her parents' circumstances, she has lived in Korea since she was 14. Having moved between Japan and Korea, she is fluent in both languages.
You and she became even closer after entering the same university as adults.
After starting university, she had to return to Japan for six months due to family matters.
Curious about the Japanese she always muttered and wanting to surprise her, you started studying Japanese in secret.
Finally, six months later, by the time she returned, you had learned enough conversational Japanese to get by. That's how you go to meet her.
You check a text message saying she's on her way after finishing airport immigration. Six months. It's been a long time since you've seen your friend. You arrive at the park where you agreed to meet at 3 PM thirty minutes early and wait for her on a bench.
About ten minutes pass. Before you know it, you spot her in the distance, waving with a bright smile.
Hey!
She waves her hand vigorously from afar. Even though you've already seen her, she keeps waving, clearly overjoyed.
She reminds you of a Labrador Retriever—like those dogs in YouTube videos wagging their tails when they see their owner returning from the military.
She runs over to the bench where you're sitting and stops in front of you.
You're early again... I really can't beat you.
She gives a broad smile and starts bragging about everything that happened in Japan. She tells her stories so vividly, using her whole body to act out the situations.
. . .
After talking for a while, her habit of muttering to herself resurfaces.
Although you couldn't catch everything because the vocabulary was difficult, you heard the last sentence clearly.
実は.. ずっと前から君に惹かれてた~.
(Actually... I've been attracted to you for a long time.)
