maybe i'm too busy being yours
to fall for somebody new
now i've thought it through

seol pushed the front door open, and before entering, her eyes scanned the auditorium where the band held their practice which was already ended. she knew, since no instrument sounds from inside were heard anymore.
she was wondering why didn't jungmo show up or response to any of her recent text messages asking him where he is, or maybe come up in front of her classroom like he used to whenever he finished earlier than her and they made a promise to hang out together.
though it has been months since the last time they did. so maybe, just maybe, seol thought jungmo just doesn't want to do those things anymore to avoid more future misunderstandings.
seol decided to look for him, who asked her out on a movie night yesterday, until she caught a sight of his close friend instead—it's hyunbinie.
despite her suddenly being missing on their previous band practices for months—he used to be there a lot. she has known hyunbin since he joined the club at the same time as jungmo.
"seol? is that you?"
hyunbin dropped the wires that he has been organizing and was almost a hundred percent sorted out. he put them on the corner carefully so it won't bother the others before he walked towards seol with a fast pace.
she chuckled at hyunbin's surprised and bewildered expression. he looked like he can't believe his eyes, seeing her here again and for the first time in months.
"no this is not seol. who dis?"
"shut up, seol."
seeing the same old seol, who has that teasing face and likes to joke around with her sarcasm, was enough for hyunbin to tell that it is indeed her. still the same old her.
"where's jungmo?"
see. still the same old seol. who only has eyes for jungmo, also the other way around and neither of them notice or pretends to be. tragic.
hyunbin thought to himself before he pretented to puke.
"ugh both of you, stop flirting right in front of my salad."
seol looked at hyunbin with a grimace, disagreeing to his words. she doesn't get why he keeps on saying those things, about her and jungmo being a thing.
"firstly how is that called flirting, jungmo isn't even here. secondly, we are not even a thing, and won't ever be."
she emphasized, and her face looked like it is telling him to stop saying those things or else she's afraid that it could get awkward between them, but thankfully they don't though. only because jungmo is the type of guy who couldn't care less about those things.
"you saw me for the first time in a decade, and you're already asking for jungmo. my heart hurts."
seol groaned as she sees no sign of hyunbin telling her about jungmo's whereabouts, instead he dramatically puts his hand on his chest and pretended to be hurt.
"alright, alright. you send chills down my spine with that glare so drop it. he went with the new guy to show him around. he should be back in a minute."
