It was nearly 2 AM as Mino walked out from the public library after trapped there for almost 6 hours. The final exam had already begun. No one wanted to fail, including Mino. He didn't want to retake the subject as it may be turned to be a pain in the ass. Once was more than enough.

Summer was already around the corner as the weather started to be a bit warmer than the last couple months. Mino did not dislike summer, but still, he preferred spring more than summer. The hot weather that crashed over him made him decided to get some cold beers in the nearest convenience store.

Beer and ramyun, no ones could beat how glorious it would taste. It was a perfect match.

As he finished with the payment, he went to the nearest empty seat beside the huge see-through window. The window was really big and you will be able to see straight to the street in front of the store. It was Mino's favorite spot, as he took a moment to enjoy his meal alone, his eyes would be mindlessly wandered to see people, to see cars, to see the tall building, to see his surrounding, in which he found it captivating.

There would be something that caught his attention whenever he spent his time here. Until someone distracted him with her strange question.

"Did you ever feel at peace whenever you are alone?"

For a moment Mino stared at her blankly. He was obviously quite surprised by her sudden appearance and random question.

"Well, I do love being alone but only when it comes when I need a time to be alone."

"I don't feel that way." That girl stared at Mino for a moment, her eyes looked rather small but it was really captivating to be looked in a long time. "I do enjoy being alone. Having a company is really not my cup of tea."

Mino remained silence, he was thinking and guessing what was something that girl wanted to convey but she wasn't easy to read, she wasn't an open book, never was and never been. She was like a book with an absolute glue sticked over the cover, her book was never left opened.

"Don't you feel lonely?"

"No, I don't." She smirked, her finger started to play around, she made a circle motion over the tip of the can beer.

"If I were you, I would be lonely." Mino smiled sweetly as he opened the beer and pushed it toward her. "People will always need a company, either just to talk, like you and me right now, or as a place to rely on."

She didn't touch Mino's beer at all, instead she shifted her gaze to look at him.

"Being lonely is only a way to protect us from something we don't want to express." Mino continued as she finally took the beer Mino had offered.

Seulgi remained silence as she let those word consumed her thought just like how she let the beer ran through the whole system of her body.

For the first time, she was feeling defeated.

It felt like someone had forced to crack open her shield.

Seulgi was always be vulnerable, she was not the type of person that was full of hope, she was the pessimistic, not because she couldn't do but because she did not want to.
