LOGINThe next day, the rain continued as before.
Before opening the pub, Gyeong-shin took advantage of the daytime to walk around the campus alone under an umbrella, taking in the festival atmosphere.
Being a student staying within the boundary of school, not society. Still having dreams that could be harbored. And not yet fully knowing the world.
In Gyeong-shin's deep eyes, having lived through several spans of decades, that fresh youth shone endlessly brilliant
Confession.That word, which should be sweet and brilliant, could not have felt heavier to Gyeong-shin tonight.As much as the rain pouring outside the window, unexplainable emotions surged and filled her heart.Tae-ha was right in front of Gyeong-shin's eyes. To this perfect man, Gyeong-shin was currently giving the biggest confession of her life.It was not a commonplace whisper of love asking him to like her or accept her heart. Nor was it a confession seeking forgiveness like a sinner.However, having already received the eternal ring and shared both heart and body, if she were to face Tae-ha with a swollen belly when they met next time, how great would the shock he felt be?Because romance in this life was a first for everything, Gyeong-shin simply wanted to fully enjoy the sweetness before her eyes.Even today, Tae-ha did his absolute best to support the pub's success for Gyeong-shin. He was a man who boarded a plane
Estrella fiercely devoured the stage for thirty minutes as if hosting their own solo concert.The impact was tremendous. Word of Gyeong-shin's pub spread in an instant, and crowds gathered until there was no room to set foot.The heavy rain persisted as before, but the pub area became a complete spectacle, overflowing with students holding umbrellas trying to catch a glimpse of Estrella even from afar.Thanks to that, every ingredient stacked up throughout the festival miraculously sold out completely. The Korean Department students had originally planned to operate on a shift system in teams, but faced with the surging crowd, they had no choice but to send out emergency alerts and mobilize everyone.Hwa-ya even showed up leading a large group of math majors, volunteering to serve and wash dishes, fully supporting the Korean Department pub.Only after the storm-like commotion passed could Gyeong-shin and Tae-ha finally enjoy time enti
On a spring night in May, music with a texture completely different from yesterday's spread faintly throughout the campus.A miraculous melody that had never been played anywhere in the world, one that could only be brought forth by those who shared their hearts deeply with each other, resonated out.That beautiful cadence, evoking the sweet illusion of being in love, blended with the sound of rain soaking the earth, cozyly filling the campus.Even as her fingers pressed the keys and his plucked the guitar strings, neither of their gazes drifted away from each other for even a single moment. As if soaking into the surging tenderness, the two kept pace and continued playing without pause.The music flowing from the Korean Department's pub harbored a particularly mysterious aura today.As the number of listeners grew, the footsteps seeking it became even busier, and the sound of music spreading through the rain also grew its scale ever
With the stage right around the corner, when Gi-beom untied his tie, the coordinator beside him was startled and approached him.“Tiger, what's wrong?”“Please change it to this one.”He had no intention of being completely played by the light game she set up, but strangely, that audacious possessiveness Jeong-min extended toward him didn't feel bad.“Oh, wow! It's a luxury tie that's hard to find. Great taste.”Gi-beom offered his neck to the coordinator with a smile. There was no reason not to accept Jeong-min's cute gesture to this extent.While the coordinator elegantly tied the tie, Gi-beom thought.Even if Jeong-min had approached him with a light heart, Gi-beom certainly didn't feel the same way she did.After the coordinator finished tying it and left the spot, Gi-beom opened his phone. He immediately dialed Jeong-min.Astoundingly, the ringback tone was Estrella's
The next day, the rain continued as before.Before opening the pub, Gyeong-shin took advantage of the daytime to walk around the campus alone under an umbrella, taking in the festival atmosphere.Being a student staying within the boundary of school, not society. Still having dreams that could be harbored. And not yet fully knowing the world.In Gyeong-shin's deep eyes, having lived through several spans of decades, that fresh youth shone endlessly brilliant.Gyeong-shin carefully browsed through the pubs of other departments and lingered in front of stalls selling cotton candy or waffle skewers. Because of her lingering morning sickness, she was cautious about recklessly swallowing anything, enjoying the sweetness merely with her eyes.Though it was a festival faced alone, unlike Je-a's fussy worries, Gyeong-shin was simply peaceful and joyful. The unique mood created by raindrops was quite romantic, and just hearing the lively noise
Even as people gathered one by one, Gyeong-shin remained solely inside her music.Because of the rain, the audience wasn't large. Since the passing crowd was so sparse, it was mostly just the department students.Memories of a rainy day. Inside her mind were merely memories scattering faintly like raindrops.As Gyeong-shin sat in front of the piano and her fingers pressed the keys, the day's disappointment trickled down over the melody. She tried to force a smile, but the hollow sense of futility pouring down like torrential rain deep in her heart did not subside easily.She decided to play this damp emotion as it was instead. Loneliness turned into a fine trembling, and emptiness was variationed into a deep void.Left in the place where expectations collapsed were only lonely notes in need of comfort. Like a watercolor spread by rainwater, the melody drifted hazily into the rain.Finally, she softly struck the melody of
