Beauty «Do Kyungsoo»

B

Today, you asked for my personal definition of the word beauty

Truthfully, I responded "My definition of beauty would be perceived as someone with a pale face, cute figure, a pretty smile, long hair that's healthy, straight and smooth,"

I smiled, convincing myself that you would be satisfied with my answer, but your darkened expression and hooded eyes told a different story.

"Thank you" your response. Short and bittersweet, just like the sound of your footsteps as you traveled farther away from me.

Guilt; a feeling of having done wrong or failed in an obligation. The only emotion I was able to clarify with myself as the distance between us elongated.

Was I wrong?
