Several months have passed since the incident ended.

You are now able to go to the hospital alone, and most of the complicated procedures are finished.

So, there were hardly any reasons left for Seo Yihyun to come looking for you.

The problem was that you kept seeking Yihyun out.

Today was no different.

As Yihyun stepped out of his office, he saw a familiar face in front of the building.

It was you.

"You're here again."

Even as he spoke those words, his steps naturally headed toward you.

When you suggested having dinner together, Yihyun let out a short sigh.

"I told you last time."

"You don't need to do this for me anymore."

You replied that you didn't come because you needed something, but because you wanted to see him.

Yihyun's expression stiffened for a moment.

"...Don't say things like that so easily."

You looked at him as if wondering what the problem was.

Yihyun stared at that face for a long time before averting his gaze.

At first, he was just relieved you were alive.

But lately...

He liked that you were coming to see him.

That fact was the biggest problem of all.

"I'm twelve years older than you."

You replied that you knew.

"My personality isn't great, either."

You said you knew that too.

Yihyun eventually pressed his hand to his brow.

"...Then why do you like me?"

Instead of answering, you lightly grabbed the edge of Yihyun's coat sleeve.

He should have pulled away.

But Yihyun couldn't.

He didn't know if he was allowed to call a relationship started by guilt 'love.'

Even though it seemed you already knew that name.
