1. "You paid on the app, so you're all set. Have a great night!"
2. "Thanks, you too!"
1. CONGRATULATIONS!
6. "YOU'RE ONE OF THE WINNERS IN THE S. CORBIN ART CONTEST!"
1. I hoped, of course, but finally winning?
1. "I'm so happy!"
2. "!"
1. It felt surreal.
2. "As part of your prize, we are delighted to invite you to an exclusive showing of s. Corbin's latest collection..."
1. "We understand the importance of sharing significant moments. Therefore, your invitation includes the opportunity to bring a guest with you..."
1. A guest..?
1. I knew sera liked art just like I do. This could be how I apologize.
1. I bet she knows s. Corbin, as everyone in the art scene does lately.
1. I was quite sure she would love this artist.
2. I hope this will help her forgive me for my past behavior.
1. We never had the opportunity to talk about art, even though we had this in common.
1. And I don't remember seeing her complete works, maybe just some sketches.
2. I should check out her studio sometime.
1. "Hey, seoji, I missed you."
1. "I think I kind of missed you too."
1. "Gyuri unnie told me her mom sent a lot of food with you. Let me help you carry some."
2. "Yes, she made kimchi and jeon. She also prepared some bulgogi, vacuum-sealed galbi, and packed various banchan."
1. "Wow, that's a lot! I definitely want to try some."
1. "Is sera here?"
1. "Uh... Yeah, but I think she's busy right now."
1. "Why is everyone being so weird when I mention sera?"
1. "Well.."
1. "Hey, nari!"
1. "Is she your friend?"
1. "No, she's here for sera."
2. For sera..?
1. "Wait a second, she looks familiar..."
1. Wasn't she the girl from the party, the one who left with sera?
1. What was she doing here?
1. Why was she here for sera..?
2. Just when I was considering giving a relationship a chance, it seemed sera might already be taken.
1. It was karma for how I'd treated her.
1. "You must be the golden girl, seoji, everyone's been talking about you."
1. "But you're nothing special. I thought you'd be prettier."
2. "What did you say?"
1. "!"
1. "Unnie..?"
1. "Don't talk to her!"
2. "What?"
1. "She's the girl from the party."
1. I knew it.
2. "Ugh! I was hoping you wouldn't run into her!"
1. "What is going on, unnie? Why is she here?"
1. "I asked. They won't help me out!"
2. "Trust me, I've tried. Jiwoo knows but he won't say a word."
1. "And sunho?"
2. "Does he know what is going on?"
1. "What is going on?"
2. "He's her brother! Of course, he knows."
3. "She's..."
1. She's so rude!
2. "That girl is the worst, seoji. I refuse to even step foot into their apartment as long as she's there."
1. "I'm so confused."
1. "I have no idea what's going on. You have to remember when I left, sera was asking me out..."
1. "I don’t know who she is or why she’s here either!"
2. "Just that she"
1. "Showed up here earlier this week."
1. "And she's been coming every single day."
1. "Are they dating?"
2. "I don’t know... All I know from jiwoo is they’re working on something."
1. "I can't get sera to stay long enough to ask her."
1. "She's been really... I mean, really busy lately."
2. "Ugh, my head hurts..."
3. "Really busy?"
1. "It's so frustrating. I've barely talked to jiwoo all week."
1. "Okay, first of all, unnie, you were supposed to enjoy this week having the apartment all to yourself with jiwoo!"
1. "I don't care what kind of drama sera has..."
1. "....you need to make up with jiwoo."
2. "Come on, let's go."
1. "Wait..!"
1. "Wait! Where are we going?!"
2. "To his apartment."
3. "No.. I don't want to!"
1. "Come on, unnie!"
1. "Oh, seoji you're back..."
1. "Jiwoo.."
2. He looked really overwhelmed. Gyuri had not gone easy on him.
1. "Seoji, I've already said this to noona a thousand times."
1. "It's not my place to tell you all of sera's business."
1. "Let's get this straight."
1. "I may have had a different assumption of what would happen when I came back here and could finally talk to sera."
1. "But, right now, I just can't worry about any of that!"
2. "!"
1. "You and gyuri-unnie are being silly."
1. "Unnie, don't get upset over what's going on with sera and respect that jiwoo's not going to gossip, alright?"
1. "Fine..."
1. "Thank you, seoji!"
1. "Yeah, yeah... I'm going back to my room..."
2. "I'm really sorry hana... It's not for..."
1. "Noona, it's not for me to tell. It's sera's business, alright?"
1. I realized it had been days since sera and I talked.
2. She texted me on sunday when
1. OR SOMETHING WHEN SHE WAS LOOKING FOR ME...
2. >
4. "Where are you?"
6. "Can you answer your phone?"
7. "Please answer your phone."
8. "I'm worried."
10. BUT THE LAST MESSAGE I SENT TO HER? THAT WAS EVEN FURTHER BACK, LAST WEEK.
1. I've been so hesitant, but now I really want to talk to her.
1. I NEED TO HEAR HER VOICE, AND SHE NEEDS TO HEAR MINE.
