How Far

When you fall in love with someone....what should you do?

An image of a young woman appeared in Kim Sejeong's brain along with this question.

The smile you gave me when we ran into each other at the bus stop.

Only a few hundred meters away was enough to see when she walked out onto the balcony.

High angle next to the window of the office where just looking down you can see the restaurant where she works...

"Chaeyeon..."

Her name I accidentally learned when my friend called me as we were walking back to the condo.

It must have been thanks to the wind around him that helped carry it into Sejong's ears...

Otherwise, I wouldn't have known her name...

A faint smile appeared on the face of the person who was staring directly outside the balcony.

Sitting on my own desk with a pile of documents. A slender index finger pushes the slippery glasses down the bridge of his nose.

Enter the entrance as before. One hand holding a pen was still, not thinking of writing anything on the blank paper.

There isn't the most beautiful scenery in the world ahead. But what makes you unable to take your eyes away?

I see it's because There is the most beautiful woman in the world for Sejong. It's over there...

'Stop being beautiful, stop being cute, will it be okay for just one second?... Chaeyeon-ah'

There was no sound that could be spoken for her to hear. But instead he looked without taking his eyes off that thin hand.

Picking up the laundry in the coin-operated washing machine under the shelter and shaking it out.

But it seemed to be a bit too harsh, causing it to hit me hard on the tip of the chin. His face immediately turned into a sullen expression.

Put your hand on the tip of your chin. That cute expression and pouting made Sejeong laugh softly.

But it wasn't long before that figure and the laundry basket disappeared into the room...

It's like the favorite TV show that you've been waiting to watch all week has ended. Sejeong let out a long breath.

Sit back and frown at the work piled in front of you as usual. But when the hand touches the tip of the pen to the paper

He turned his face back to look at the balcony of the room on the opposite side again. The next time it comes out is when collecting clothes.

He smiled a little before taking a deep breath. Continue writing your own work in a good mood...

8:00 a.m.

"Hack..."

A gasp sounded after the small figure ran frantically to make it in time.

After nearly dying from running, I turned over my watch and saw that it seemed to be just in time.

While putting your hands and feet on your knees and use one hand to wipe away sweat There's nothing wrong with acting like old uncles like to do.

A soft laugh floated through his ears. Just then he glanced to the side.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her figure and immediately straightened up. Tighten the leather shoulder bag used for carrying documents at your side.

And like always, Sejong kept his distance. When the bus is late that we all wait for to go to work.

come to a stop in front She usually walked up to the front of the car. And Sejong will walk up to the back.

Turn your head and look into your eyes for a moment, those red lips that are so attractive A smile spread across and the little man bowed his head slightly in greeting.

Sejeong looked at it before smiling back. It might be because we saw each other at the same time almost every day for almost two months.

Smiling at each other to say hello sometimes when the time isn't rushing might be normal...

When I stepped onto the bus today, every seat was full even though it was quite early in the morning...

His small hand reached out and grabbed the loop in front of him to steady himself in the car. with relatively high instability

Even though the driver drives smoothly, if there is a sudden need to brake If you don't find a stronghold, Sami may fall as well.

The crowd became more and more crowded until Sejeong, who was standing at the back of the train, had to slowly move up. Until now it has become

A little person was standing in the middle of the car. One hand was still gripping the handle tightly even though the air conditioning on the car wasn't very hot.

It was unlikely that the large beads of sweat that had formed on Sejong's temples would appear. But it's soft to the touch. Some people's body odor

Those who got into the car from the front were being crowded by different people on this car, causing them to be closer than they thought...

Eeeek...

"Ah..."

Because of the unexpected braking, the figure closest to Sejongense came towards him.

This may be because the grip was not tight enough, causing the hand to slip out of the loop on the handle. Sejeong held it tightly even though his hands were sweaty.

When the figure lurched towards him, it made the small man seem more stable on his feet. It instantly became a pillar for her to cling to.

And in the meantime, the condition seemed to be half-cold, like being hugged. Sejeong's hand gripped the other's waist for support.

Don't let your face sink to the ground. A thin hand clings to Sejong's small shoulder, and his face turns around to meet his tiny ears.

And when the little person turned to face us, our eyes met in an unexpected way.

It was as if time in this moment had just stopped. When the gentle scent of your body floats up to your nose

She just opened her mouth and spoke softly...

"thank you very much..."

When he regained his balance on his own, he turned and grabbed the circular loop hanging from the handrail again.

It made Sejeong have to regretfully let go of the hand that touched her because of that coincidence.

No matter what, people are still crowding. The two of us still stood close to each other. Probably the happiest I've ever been on a crowded bus...

'The shock just now... could have killed me, you know?

If I really stopped breathing You have to take responsibility, Chaeyeon..'

"Sejeong hyung...I'm going to eat. What do you want for me?"

The sound of the question that floated into his ears made the small figure look up from his work.

He thought about it before looking down at the shop across from the office. small italian restaurant

that has the most attractive waitress in the world in Sejong's eyes again Even inside the small wooden shop

There is a cool air conditioner to sit. But if you want to enjoy the warm sunshine, there is outside seating with a light green canvas roof.

protruding next to the shop But with the angle Sejong was at right now, when he glanced down he saw

Her figure was dressed in a white shirt and dark blue skirt, the shop's uniform. that all employees wear

But that girl turned out to be strikingly beautiful and eye-catching...

"elder sibling!!!"

“Huh....give me, uh...a box of spaghetti and meat sauce. And...a glass of iced Americano.

Thank you very much, Jie Shuang…”

Because the Chinese junior shouted to wake him up from being stuck staring at someone.

"If you like the food at this restaurant that much, Maybe I should go down to the restaurant and eat.”

The younger's voice made Sejeong look away from seeing the smiling woman taking orders from customers.

Shaking his head at the little Chinese junior before writing his next piece...

“No, go down and eat, it's a waste of time. Please give it to me..." Those words caused the junior to smile widely before he said something.

"Yes...Mr. Department Head Being diligent like this...definitely a future branch manager.

Go ahead, I'll bring it up for you... Eunwoo."

After saying some funny words and laughing.

He invited the lover who was waiting to go out together, arm in arm. He smiled a little when he saw that they were both happy.

Sejong likes to see other people happy. It made her feel happy...

Although sometimes seeing the person you love happy It will make Sejeong not happy at all...

Under the bright lights on the opposite side of the room Sejeong was still sitting at his old desk.

Looking outside again, the figure of a person who looked so familiar that I could remember every detail. But I'm never bored.

Today the wind was blowing so hard that my long, silky hair was blowing in the wind. The air must have been quite cold because she slowly raised her hand.

Come up and hug your own thin body. Is it just in time for Sejeong to think he'd get over the cold? The figure of a woman taller than her

He walked in behind her and hugged her waist. Shields the wind that will come in and collide with the body.

That girl was turning her face to meet his gaze, who had the smiles that they both had on each other. The eyes that stare at each other

No need to explain how profound it is. Even though Sejeong was watching from afar, he could feel the love.

This isn't the first time I've seen them fall in love in front of my eyes...

"Heehyun hyung..."

Sejeong's begging, hustle-busting tone of voice when we accidentally walked out together.

When you're with him Standing up from his desk, he walked over and pulled the dark curtains on the balcony door closed.

Leaning his back against the wall, he closed his eyes and tried to erase the image he had just seen a moment ago...

His small hand reached out and opened the curtains before looking into the room of the person on the opposite side of his own.

After thinking all along that I was really lucky that this condo was in shape.

U

that allows you to see the balcony of the room on the other side

But the shadows that could be seen through the orange curtains showed how closely the faces of the people in the room were pressed together.

Followed by a sudden disappearance of falling onto something. What could it be that made two people lie down together?

That's all I saw...I didn't think of looking any further. Taking his hand off the curtain, he walked over and sat at the foot of his own bed.

Lie back down on the soft bed. Turn to look at the same point again. Close your eyes and think about something.

'I understand that How do you say heartbroken? ...Because of Chaeyeon again'

The question above asks what to do if you fall in love with someone. For Sejeong...

They would probably say that they couldn't do anything...and that they wouldn't want to do anything. Besides looking at her from a distance Just this close

8:00 a.m.

The same time when walking out and waiting for the bus to go to work. It doesn't take a bit of effort to wake up early.

That lingering image made Sejeong sleepless for two nights in a row. Even though the eyelids are dark, the expression doesn't look good.

Because I didn't sleep well. But he still tries to drag his body to go to work. and came at the same time to meet

People you will meet every morning...

Beep!!

The sound of the car's horn honking made the bystanders startled. before feeling later

You will see the regular bus opening its doors waiting ahead. Stepping into the car, even though those eyes were still searching

But I couldn't find the body of the person I wanted to see....

It's not just the morning bus. But it's the same at restaurants.

And not just today, but the next day, the next, and the day after that...

Sejeong didn't even see Chaeyeon's shadow.

'Are you sick?...or have you moved out?'

That question popped up in Sejeong's head. But it probably wasn't the latter issue because of the clothesline in the opposite room.

There were still the room owner's clothes drying as usual. and the answer that resolved all of Sejong's doubts and doubts.

It appeared a few days later...

The scene seen through the orange curtains was not the love scene seen that day. But it turned into arguing and yelling at each other.

Sejong's eyes widened as he saw the body of the person who was trying to cheer him up being pushed down onto the bed.

But the person who did it left the room without any care. I don't know why Sejong threw himself off the balcony.

Seeing her shadow sitting hugging her knees and bowing her head, I knew how much she was crying because of the pain...

I want to have wings...so I can fly across from here to comfort those who are there...

Creak!!! So cool!!!!

“Go ahead...and you don't have to let me see you again.

Bastard!!!!!"

The sound of a sentence followed by a curse word Her eyes were red and fierce as never before.

The pot of the canthus tree that Sejong had seen the couple watered with care. She threw it from the balcony.

It barely missed the head of the person who looked up with angry eyes. He left without saying anything.

But the person who was tightly gripping the balcony handrail flicked his eyes to look at Sejeong, who was equally shocked...

with people who know that there are witnesses to the event He quickly ducked back into his room before letting out a long sigh.

And because he couldn't help but be worried, the small figure had to lift his head and look again...

I don't see anyone crying there anymore. Sejeong picked up his own jacket and wore it over his pajamas.

Put on your slippers before heading downstairs. Staring at the condition of the potted plant that was shattered because it fell from a high place.

But the condition of the tree is still perfect. The little man looked left and right before picking it up...

8:00 a.m.

It's the same time that you have to go to work like every day. It seemed like he was happy that the woman was back to work as usual.

But the brightness that used to be there has disappeared. Standing in the car, Sejeong had to look up worriedly.

When will you faint and collapse? And finally, when the person who had been sitting in front of the little figure stood up.

Because of the sign that was about to go down The right of the person to sit should belong to Sejeong but...

"Sit..."

Gently nudge the shoulder of the person who is about to fall, say, and move aside to make it easier for them to walk and sit.

She stopped and looked at Sejeong for a moment before bowing her head slightly...

"thank you..."

That was probably the first smile Sejeong saw after the incident.

Even if it was just a glimpse, it made the little man smile as well. Grab the railing before standing upright.

But he smiled and looked down at the person sitting in front of him. And while he was enjoying himself

The seated person glanced up at the person standing closest. But the little person was smooth and turned around in time to look elsewhere.

It wasn't fast enough to escape Chaeyeon's sight, who secretly saw him staring at her with a smile, and that...

Making her who was sitting with her head bowed now smile a little again after not smiling for a long time...

"Hee hee hee...."

The sound of sobbing came from the living room area of ​​the common room...

It made Sejeong want to run up to his room as quickly as possible. because I had just returned from the office at the time

It's this late and hearing something like this gives me a terrifying feeling. Tighten your shoulder bag.

Didn't run straight into the elevator like I intended. But I turned around and looked, and it was as expected...

People at this time, even while waiting for the laundry to be washed, will cry. It made Sejeong unable to help feeling very worried.

Even though it's none of your own business

Even though I know that I have no right to offer it to you...

A gray handkerchief was held in front of the tear-stained face.

She looked at it silently, making eye contact with the person who had sent it to her. The warmth that is transmitted through the eyes

Even though he didn't say a single word. But Chaeyeon was slowly reaching out to take it...

"Thank you...and I'll wash it and give it back to you."

'Don't want to see... never want to see Chaeyeon's tears.'

"nevermind..."

Walking away with a smile still on your face The person who received the handkerchief used it to wipe away their own tears.

He stared at it silently for a moment before deciding not to use it and keep it instead. With both hands, wipe the tears from your face with a smile.

before disappearing and returning to the building on the other side where he was.

It was like the request that Sejeong made to himself that night had come true.

Chaeyeon is looking better and better. She doesn't cry all the time. Even though she rarely smiles

But at least it looks more lively than before. Sejeong was also seen hanging out the laundry and taking care of the cantus.

and sometimes come out to look at the stars outside the balcony Even though I couldn't go out and look at her like I used to.

And there are times when the eyes of people looking from the opposite side Will catch Sejeong secretly looking at her...

It made looking at her even more difficult. But it's better than not seeing it at all...

"Carbonara has arrived...."

"Um...put it right there."

Because I thought that the voice of the person who delivered the rice was sweeter than ever. Makes you have to walk away from the work in front of you.

Then he turned his chair around to see who it was. And when he saw a figure that was familiar to him because he had always been in Sejong's sight,

Standing and smiling makes me feel uncomfortable. She smiled a little before saying something...

“Our chef says...you have to pay back the food you order at our restaurant every day.

So I brought you some garlic bread and chicken.

And...if it happens that you don't mind. I'm going to sit and eat at the restaurant."

Speak while putting down the bag of food that was given as a bonus from the store. The little man lowered his head and avoided his eyes.

With a slight nod in response. When he saw that his subordinates were watching,

I can't afford to lose my cool because of this very cute waitress. He looked up and met her smiling eyes.

"Yes...I'll go when I have time," he replied before making her hand a sweet pink glass of water in front of her.

"Drinking a lot of coffee is not good..."

“Here's a strawberry latte. From me...in return for the cantus you helped collect.

Then he took it and changed the pot for me...."

Sejeong was silent for a moment before smiling slightly and accepting the item the other person offered.

The bright smile that Sejeong had always liked to look at was passed on to me...

I don't know if I saw it when I secretly put it in the front of the room. Or when I went down to pick it up for you since that night?

But the last sentence made Sejeong think about it because before she left....

"Thank you for always taking care of me..."

Why do you say it like that? Where is she going like that?

'Isn't it true, Chaeyeon...'

When it was time to finish work, he rushed back to his room. and when he rushed over to the balcony to look at the opposite side

Found only emptiness There were no clothes, no cantas, and no wind that caused the curtains to flutter.

Makes you find that the room is empty, there is nothing at all...

'So you're gone...?'

Walk back into the balcony. Sit quietly before holding your temples....

When falling in love with someone....

Why don't you try to do more for it?

Knock, knock...

While lying on the bed, completely dejected. The knocking at the door continued to sound louder.

Turn to look at the door And while thinking that it would not be good to leave guests waiting at the door for a long time.

He got up from the bed and walked over, grabbed the knob and slowly pulled the door open. to meet the body of a person

Sejeong couldn't believe his eyes...

“My name is Jung Chaeyeon...I just moved into the room next to yours.

Anyway, please take care of me....oh, I have...a gift for you as well."

That before picking up the gray handkerchief that Sejong was very familiar with...

He lightly scratched his head to relieve his embarrassment before giving a small smile.

"Your name is..."

“Kim Sejeong...if you don't mind from now on...

Please take good care of Ms. Chaeyeon."

This story is written to escape the drama from my own fic. Haha.

There's nothing like listening to music and wanting to write about it. So I wrote the bold words '____' in this mark.

It's just what Sejeong thought. Didn't say it out loud. Okay, let's go read.

And then invite me to tag

Sechae, I can't think of anything. Haha. After reading this, don't forget to comment and give encouragement.
