오지
I turn around to look where your eyes are focusing on. My brows furrow.
The only thing I see is a happy couple, hands interlocked and heading in our direction.

I turn back to you and try to read your expression again.
My heart beat starts to race as I realize what's going on.

It's him.
It's Wonwoo.

호시
"J-Jihoon," I stutter out, "C-Can we go e-eat somewhere else?"

My eyes are still locked on the two.
For some reason, I can't force myself to look away.
The joyful smiles they are wearing keep me staring at them.

"Yeah sure," you reply.

You stand up first.
Unlike my eyes, my legs oblige and follow after you. We're walking away now. I let out a shaky breath as I finally manage to tear my gaze away from him.

I can just feel you looking at me.
I think you're trying to figure out what I'm thinking.

But I'm sure you can't.
My mind's a mess right now.
Nothing inside is clear and readable.

"Soonyoung. Is that you?" A low voice calls out.

I freeze in my tracks and so do you.
