one month. it had been one month since the last time she showed up at the coffee shop. and in that time, he thought she would just slip his mind.

he found himself waiting for her to walk through the door, but after a while he grew to learn that she wouldn't be there. that is, until she did one day.

"caramel macchiato, please," ga eul muttered, a smile across her face as if there were nothing wrong. wonwoo didn't smile back. her hair now was either silver or grey. he couldn't decide which.

"won't your hair start falling off if you keep dyeing it?" he wondered aloud as he punched in her order. she grinned and shrugged. he gave her the change then went to prepare her drink.

"where have you been?" he asked, attempting to sound nonchalant but then chastising himself a second later when he realized that he sounded worried.

again, she shrugged. "you don't always have to know where i go."

he frowned, handing her the drink. she didn't seem to notice his expression as she nodded in a farewell then turned to leave.

"was that ga eul noona?" he heard mingyu ask. wonwoo hadn't realized that he had approached the counter so the younger guy had startled him.

he nodded, forcing his attention away from the exit. that was ga eul walking out of not only the coffee shop, but he had a feeling his life too.
