The weather forecast on the mobile phone shows that there will be snow again in the next two days.

But it had nothing to do with me already in the state of work, as for the snow last night, by the time I entered the city at night, it had turned to wet ground.

After walking casually outside for a short while, there were already a lot of mud spots on the trouser legs. The thought of me having to do laundry again makes me feel a little tired.

His hands were deeply rooted in his pockets, and when he looked up to the sky and yawned, and his eyes fell back to the front, he realized that before he knew it, he had walked into a zone of memories.

At the intersection, the traffic lights were flashing, and on the corner to my left, there stood a two-story coffee shop.

Although it was a bit far away, I still clearly saw the nameplate of this coffee shop - 358 Seogyo-dong.

The pedestrian's red light and green light have been rotated back and forth. The crowd of people around him surged by, never stopping. I was the only one, looking at the coffee shop fixedly...... Good minutes.

If songs are the best place to remember, then "places you have been" are a quick knife that memories stick in your head.

For a few minutes, I felt as if all the melted droplets on the ground were pouring up and pouring all over my body.

On a windless night, I wore a thick jacket that kept warm, but I felt terrible cold.

I don't know what prompted me to come here, I just remember that under my deliberate evasion, Yin Eunjing's shadow has faded in my memory to the point that it is almost invisible.

But at this moment, this shadow is suddenly so thick that it can't be dissolved...... Until finally, it becomes substance.

That's right. It's substance.

I didn't rub my eyes to deny the shadow that was only twenty or thirty meters away.

Destiny. It is woven by countless coincidences, the thread in the palm of the hand.

We are at such a juncture. Such a winter night was met again.

――――――――――

358 Seogyo-dong, coffee shop, 2nd floor. There are other couples in the old position, and we don't say that we have to be loyal to the memories and stick to that position.

After finding a random position to sit down by the window, Yin Enjing still looked at my white cloth bandaged left hand for the first time. However, the gauze bandaged last time was not tight, and the outline of a little finger was vaguely created between the bulging white.

I didn't want to open my mouth to say what had already passed, so even if I found doubt in her eyes. I didn't open my mouth to explain. Instead, he looked at her fixedly with eyes as light as warm water.

If I'm serious, I'm actually ...... Only a deep haggard glimmer was found on her face.

That hint of haggardness was so deep that I almost thought it was an illusion. Or maybe it's an illusion.

Because of this and the other, I have been decadent for a long time.

On my face, there is probably no trace of haggard because of feelings.

This state of affairs. Makes me feel a little guilty.

I wondered if I had escaped too quickly, the torment I deserved, the shortness of the end.

When the thoughts in your head are so complicated. She came into my eyes, and of course there were some other things.

For example, the long hair that still comes.

Like what. Almost no-makeup makeup.

For example, I used to be talking about it every day. The natural little lying silkworm under her eyes.

Another example............ The quiet smile that she slowly bloomed at the moment was like a Gesang flower.

"This time, is it my turn to talk about myself first?"

Suddenly meandered out. That's the tone I've been obsessed with for a long time. At this moment, I suddenly thought that although it is not as soft as Kim Taeyeon, it has a different kind of calm taste.

As soon as I opened my mouth, she skipped over my wounds. This is the one I know well, I don't say, she doesn't ask. Although in the last moment a long time ago, she had a forced question for the first time. After that, we dispersed.

Looking at Yin Enjing, who was trying to be clear, I came back to my senses after being stunned for a long time.

Since we're all trying to get better, why should I sink into the bad whirlpool of memories and still think about taking her with me.

I shook my head slightly, throwing my thoughts away, and then I lifted my eyelids and let out an equally bright breath from my nose, and shrugged my shoulders.

"If I had to say, Keliang, what is it, it's not non-stop work, plus occasional breaks. After two days, I was going to go to the refresher class to study again, which can basically be said to be very busy. ”

When the mood of the two of us adjusted, the atmosphere between the two of us began to gradually get closer to the atmosphere that should be in the coffee shop.

Waiter came over at the right time, and she ordered a mocha and I ordered a macchiato. Then the waiter walked away, smoothing her hair.

"Ever since I knew you, you seem to have been busy until now. Give yourself a vacation when you want, don't you like to travel? Now that the conditions allow, you can try to go to a farther place to rest and rest. ”

This is the Nth person who has said to me, "You have the conditions to go out and travel", and I have always done this. It's just a smile and no committality.

Yin Eunjing, who had been accustomed to my personality for a long time, didn't answer when she saw me smiling, but just shook her head. She suddenly leaned back into her chair and glanced sideways out the window.

In the corner where I couldn't see, her gaze suddenly became blank.

"During this time of the year, Seoul would be very busy, so the headquarters temporarily transferred me back."

The bright expression said that it would disappear when it disappeared, and Yin Eunjing tilted his head and told me the reason why we could meet again.

At this time, the two cups of coffee were brought over, I picked up the spoon, and stirred it in the cup aimlessly, Yin Enjing turned his head.

"Actually, recently, I've met someone."

The hair fluttering from the movement of the head swayed in the air. The emptiness of a moment ago disappeared in Yin Enjing's eyes, and she returned to her quiet appearance.

At this point, the two of us looked at each other, and she suddenly said that she had met someone. My pupils fluttered for a moment. Seeing this, she pursed her lips. He shook his head with his lips curled slightly.

"It's not to the level of dating, but we know each other. Get along with him. There is a feeling of comfort. ”

"Then what about you, why didn't you meet Xiujing at Christmas, and you still walked around the street alone."

Holding the ear of the cup with clean fingers, Yin Eunjing took a sip of coffee while looking at me.

The spoon dancing in the cup stopped for a moment, and I stared at the swirling coffee and said, "She's back to the United States, besides, I'm not with her." ”

If only there were just a few words, "I wasn't with her". As most people probably know, I'm talking about "not together" geographically. ”

But because of the "other", Yin Enjing quickly drank something else from it.

She slowly put down her coffee cup and looked at me, her gaze no longer pure.

"I thought that after I left, I chose to become one, and you wouldn't have any more difficulties."

There was a smell of coffee in the air, and a taste of doubt, words that drifted to me. It rushed into the ears at once and ruffled all the nerves. I took out my cigarette and lit it, and after only two puffs, the clerk pressed it out in the ashtray. It was pressed out together. Including disturbing thoughts.

His expression was flickering, and Yin Eunjing, who had been watching me, took my entire expression as a whole. Finally, she sighed.

"You still can't tell your feelings...... If you don't make a decision sooner, maybe someone else will leave. ”

Just now, I just said the phrase "not together" when my soul was out of my body. Yin Eunjing seemed to have guessed everything. It's like saying, after she's gone. A new option has been added.

In this regard, she did not scold me for being half-hearted. I didn't ask who the option was, but I was advised to make a choice as soon as possible.

This made me bow my head, and a faint pain flashed in my heart.

The word scum suits me so well, but no one ever blames me. Now I just feel a little itchy in my hands and want to give myself a slap.

"Aren't you scolding me?"

Sneering, as I said this, I sneered at myself in the corners of my mouth.

Yin Enjing, who was sitting opposite, effortlessly read all my emotions. She was silent for a moment, then sighed a second time.

"There's nothing to scold, love is never right or wrong, no matter what time I think so. You'll have new people to like, and so will I. ”

"I just think that since you can't tell what you like and what you love, then you can say all your thoughts. It's like at the beginning, you just took care of me without saying a word, and took care of Xiujing, and didn't say anything--if you didn't say anything, no one could understand what you were thinking in your heart, and when you were talking, there was no room for turnaround. ”

"Since we're already like this...... I hope you don't make anyone feel sad again. ”

On the last night of Christmas, Yoon Eun-jeong drank her last sip of coffee, left her last words, and got up to leave.

I sat in my seat and thought for a long time alone.

It was a reunion after a long time, and we didn't talk much. Most of the time she was talking, I was listening.

Only a bystander can tell other people's feelings, but for some reason, she has become a bystander.

It wasn't until so much later that I realized that I had never had a heart to heart with these people after so much time with them.

They all only felt my care, and I only felt and accepted their closeness.

Emotional things really can't be guessed, if you don't say it, no one will understand. If no one understands, someone will leave.

No matter how the feelings will be entangled, it's better to say it than not to say it. Only by saying that, can you reserve a place in advance, so that everyone can sort out their hearts well.

It was my silence and self-deception that made my feelings cross the limit of Yin Enjing, which led to her leaving.

Without looking at the couple around me again, I sighed my last breath of the day, then put my hands back in my pockets, got up, and left the coffee shop.

No. 358 Seohjo-dong behind it has become a memory.

At the end of the street, countless double shadows have been blurred. I seemed to hear such an emotional sentence floating in the wind.

It says,

The years are still long, and there will eventually be someone who will accompany you to ride a horse and drink wine, and walk in all directions. (To be continued.) )
