Malcolm's POV

I was now sitting at a bus stop with Hyunjin as the cars pass us by.

"Isn't it funny? When you think about it. She stayed the same and I'm the only one that changed" Hyunjin says.

"If I hadn't gone to her apartment to brig her the soup for her birthday, I'd still be in love with her. Damn" He said as I looked at him with pity.

"You said it was over. Is it not?" I asked.

"I don't know. It's just crazy how it all changed overnight. If I didn't know, where would I be if I took a time machine to yesterday morning and knocked the soup off the stove?" He asked.

"Then you would be lying to yourself" I replied as I looked at him.

"Why? I can do that. If I need to" He retorted.

"I can't do anything to stop someone from lying to me. But I can decide if I lie to myself. I don't know why someone is going to love me, but I know exactly why I loved her" He said as he looked back at me.

"She stayed by my side, she was thoughtful, and she worried about me being lonely or scared. Whenever I was too tired or overwhelmed, she encouraged me so I should hold onto that" He explained.

"That's what I think. You should be selfish when it comes to love" He said and I looked down on the floor.

"Will you hold on to Yena?" I asked.

"No way. It's over between us. There's just something I need to say to her" He replied and I took a deep breath.

"Then you should go by yourself" I smiled at him before standing up from my seat.

"Goodluck" I said and he hummed.

"I'll see you back at the dorm" I smiled and he nodded.

"Okay" He smiled back before we bumped fists.

I walked off and took a bus going back to the dorm. The ride was quiet and I looked out the window to see if she might still be somewhere here.

The bus stopped and the driver signaled for anyone who was going down to this stop so I went out.

I walked to the sidewalk and stopped as I saw her, standing there as she waited for the pedestrian light.

Sure. When I get confused, I should only think about myself

Be strictly selfish

But if I hadn't seen that picture yesterday, the Minju from that photo wouldn't exist

I started walking towards her.

I never saw that picture

Until that day, when it's okay for me to know...

I didn't notice but I started jogging towards her.

Until you tell me everything

From jogging, I picked up the pace and jogged faster.

You're just clueless, annoying person who says she really likes me

"Minju" I panted as I stopped beside her.

"Malcolm-ah? What about Hyunjin?" She asked, looking at me shocked.

"Well, it felt weird tagging along since he was going to see Yena" I smiled shyly.

"See? I was right" She giggled.

"Sorry about today. It was our first date" I said.

"Ah, don't be. I still had fun and you needed to be there for Hyunjin" She smiled.

The light chimed as it let us know that we can cross now. I looked at the other side and held Minju's hand with her holding mine tighter as she smiled at me.

"Let's go" I smiled back at her before we crossed.

"We can go to the amusement park another time" She suggested.

"Sure. Let's put on a disguise so no one can recognize us" I chuckled.

"Sure" She imitated which made us both laugh.

"Aren't you hungry? You didn't really eat much because of Hyunjin" She asked as I looked at her.

"You ate even less...Shall we barbeque in the storage room?" I asked in excitement.

"Oh yeah. But what if Han comes again? He has a nose of a hound" She joked.

"We'll lock the door" I replied as I gave her a sly smile.

"Right. Oh, you know what kind of ride we have to ride next time we go?" She asked and I couldn't help but admire her as she talked.

I nodded and nodded at the things she said but I didn't really understand any of it as a smile couldn't help but form on my face as I watched her talk and talk. Nothing mattered right now. What only mattered was us.

Nothing happened

If I ignore it, it's fine

Just for today, I hope the world doesn't come to an end

Because I have to see you again tomorrow
