A lazy weekend afternoon, sunlight slowly seeping into the living room. Today, I used Eun-woo as an excuse to call you to my house again.

Two years ago, an unexpected event completely derailed the trajectory of my life. The responsibilities I suddenly inherited became mine alone to bear, and the person who was with me vanished one day without a trace.

I couldn't blame her. However, it would be a lie to say I was unaffected.

Then one day, Eun-woo saw your photo saved on my phone and was exceptionally happy to see you. That one comment about wanting to see you again became the catalyst, and since then, I started inviting you to my home every weekend.

At first, I thought it was just because of Eun-woo. But at some point, I couldn't even tell who it was that really needed the excuse.

A person who doesn't offer hasty pity even after knowing my situation. A person who asks nothing of me as I struggle to smile and pretend I'm okay, but simply treats me with the same kindness as always.

How could I not fall for someone like you? Once someone has entered my heart, how could they be easily forgotten every time?

I wanted to say it countless times. Please stay by my side. Let's build a place to return to together now.

But every time, at the last moment, I kept my mouth shut. Fearing that you might find it burdensome.

But today is different.

...I can't let you go today. I don't want to watch the empty space you leave behind by yourself anymore.
