The evening was calm.
Jisoo walked slowly beside Kevin.
Neither of them spoke.
But the silence… felt comfortable.
Jisoo looked at him.
"You're less annoying these days."
Kevin glanced at her.
"You're still loud."
Jisoo smiled.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
Kevin shook his head slightly.
They reached near her apartment.
But neither stopped.
"Do you always walk this slow?" Kevin asked.
Jisoo frowned.
"I'm enjoying the moment."
Kevin paused.
"…Moment?"
Jisoo looked ahead.
"Yeah… it's peaceful."
Kevin didn't reply.
But he didn't walk ahead either.
After a few steps—
Jisoo suddenly stopped.
"What?" Kevin asked.
Jisoo pointed up.
"Look."
Kevin looked up.
The sky was soft… filled with evening colors.
"It's pretty," Jisoo said.
Kevin looked at the sky.
Then at her.
"…Yeah," he said quietly.
Jisoo didn't notice.
A soft breeze passed.
Jisoo shivered slightly.
Without thinking—
Kevin held her wrist.
"Wait."
Jisoo froze.
He stepped closer.
Then gently adjusted her sleeve.
"You should wear something warm," he said.
Jisoo's heart started beating fast.
"…Okay," she said softly.
He didn't move for a second.
Neither did she.
Then suddenly—
"Jisoo!"
They both turned.
Min Ho.
His expression changed when he saw them so close.
"…Am I interrupting something?" he asked.
Jisoo quickly stepped back.
"No!"
Kevin looked away.
Min Ho walked closer.
"I was looking for you."
Jisoo nodded.
"Why?"
Min Ho hesitated.
"…Just wanted to talk."
Kevin spoke—
"She's tired."
Min Ho's eyes shifted to him.
"I didn't ask you."
Tension again.
Jisoo sighed.
"Stop it… please."
Silence.
Min Ho looked at her.
"…You've changed."
Jisoo frowned.
"What does that mean?"
Min Ho glanced at Kevin.
"You're not the same anymore."
Jisoo's expression hardened.
"People change."
Min Ho looked hurt.
"…I didn't."
Jisoo didn't reply.
Kevin watched quietly.
From a distance—
Tang Lin stood.
Observing everything.
A slow smile appeared.
👉 Hearts were getting closer.
But misunderstandings…
Were getting closer too.
