Annyeongz One-shots

133. For Us ( 2 )

The rain had gotten heavier by the time Wonyoung arrived home.

She parked quietly in front of her apartment building and sat inside the car for a few extra minutes, staring blankly through the windshield.

Everything felt exhausting tonight.

Seeing Yujin again.

Hearing his voice.

Watching the pain in his eyes.

It all reopened wounds she spent months trying to close.

Wonyoung finally grabbed her bag and stepped out into the rain, quickly running toward the building entrance.

The elevator ride to her apartment felt strangely lonely.

Too quiet.

Usually she liked quietness.

But tonight it only gave her more space to think about him.

Again.

And again.

And again.

The moment she entered her apartment, she immediately kicked off her heels tiredly and dropped her bag onto the couch.

Darkness greeted her softly.

Cold.

Silent.

Lonely.

Wonyoung turned on the lights slowly before walking toward the kitchen to pour herself water.

But even while drinking—

Her mind kept replaying tonight.

Especially one thing.

Director Ahn.

The title still sounded strange.

Because the Yujin she remembered belonged in military uniforms.

In combat boots.

In strict academies and dangerous missions.

Not luxury office buildings.

Not executive meetings.

Not expensive suits and security departments.

Wonyoung slowly lowered the glass from her lips.

Then her brows furrowed slightly.

Wait.

How did he even end up there?

The thought suddenly settled heavily in her chest.

Yujin wasn’t some ordinary soldier.

He was air special force.

One of the youngest elite officers during academy days.

He practically lived for that career.

She still remembered how serious he became whenever he talked about serving long-term.

Back then, his eyes used to shine when speaking about it.

So why was he suddenly working in a corporation?

And not just any position.

Executive director.

High authority.

Overseas operations.

Security.

It didn’t make sense.

Wonyoung slowly sat down on the couch while thinking harder.

Something about it felt wrong.

Too sudden.
