After the unwanted reunion, Somin clothed warmly and headed outside to clear her head. Without music, without fake love scenarios, without a sketchbook. She heated the rest of the leftover wine with cinnamon, badyan, honey, and slices of oranges.

A decent cup must be enough.

But the image of bare Teho kept coming back to bother her so she poured the whole bottle in, going through the cupboards and finding another bottle to join the rest.

The more the merrier.

Her thermos was put in her infamous one-striped bag together with a romance book.

I won't let them rob me of my self-date.

The girl lazily walked down the stairs. All the relaxing thoughts left her when it turned out she could involuntarily walk in on the loved-crazed pair yet again.

Maybe I'm destined to witness it. She laughed out of frustration.

It'll help with the crush going away.

Hopefully, I'll be able to paint later.

As for now, the apartment was stained with the unfortunate meeting.

Her baby blue coat made her feel like she was under the blanket. She tied a pink scarf around her neck before she finally left the building. Slow steps led her to the park behind the dorms, and she breathed deeply to get the fresh air into her lungs.

She observed how the birds flew in between the branches and sang, she internally commented on them from the view of the female bird. Playing a game, guessing if the male bird was beautiful enough for the hiding female's eyes. Observing a shiny blackbird Somin wondered.

I must have been a bird in my previous life. I have everything he's looking for, I'm not flashy, I'm careful, invisible, I blend with the background well.
