BLACKPINK X TWICE X RED VELVET
42

Manager Sooyoung walked into one of the Han River parking lots, the closest spot to the bench he had ever sat on. The place he is refilled, where feelings are shared, and confessions are made.   He watched his van leave blankly before turning his attention to the river. The lights glowed on the water and he wondered if he would ever shine as brightly as he did at the beginning of their escape. He did not notice people passing by. He just sat down, hugging himself in search of some sort of comfort and protection from the gentle breeze.   She no longer wore an off-the-shoulder and short feminine skirt; she changed into black leggings, sneakers, and a knitted sweater that was too big for her body and reeked of the sea breeze. "Sweater is good, I wonder where you got it from," he heard a voice from behind saying. He felt someone else sitting in his chair, but did not dare to look. He already knows who it is.   "What's that? A man gave it to me. It's okay, I guess. "   He sneered. "Even not all day and now I'm demoted from 'husband' to 'man.' How cold you are, Sooyoung."   "Ah, that's it again," she replied in an annoyed tone, but she saw a smile hidden by her strands of hair.   Silence again.   Slowly, Sungjae's hand grabbed hers, his eyes watching the woman's reaction. Naturally, the smaller one found it and placed it on his lap. Sooyoung's thin fingers played with her as she dazedly stared, not knowing what to say. He watched her with a affectionate look, which many people showed when they were on the show.   There was still a lot he wanted to say to her and for once, he was the one who did not know how to reveal it. Talk about what he left her.

However, their roles were reversed, that was not the case. The shy boy only opened his heart to the stubborn girl who came out of his comfort zone to show how much he cared.   Cameras, crews, and long-lost eagle eyes watched their every move.   Only boys and girls learn what it means to love.   He pulled his phone out of his pocket and played their song in the background. The action produced a pleasant slap.   "I'm not ready yet" he admitted.   "I don't think we both."   "But I don't think I'll ever be able to" he added. "I'm not ready to forget this. I'm ready to be me, like being the real me, because of you. We're running out of time. ” "So a-" she tried to cut him off before closing her mouth, letting him take out whatever he wanted to say.   "So little time, so much more to do" he almost laughed. "All I know is I want to spend my days with you."   Again, he had nothing to say with his honest words.   "I feel like I've never seen you act this serious" she said, trying to change the subject. He wasn't ready for the conversation they were having. Does this lead to some kind of closure? He didn't know and he barely wanted to find out.   "I'm always serious" Sungjae replied, his voice hoarse unlike his usual personality.   "Yes, right," he whispered.

"- About how I feel about you." He caught the end of the sentence. Sooyoung felt her face heat up hearing his words.   "When this song ends, is this really the end for us too?" Sungjae delivered the question a few hours from the time he was first asked and Sooyoung gave a different answer, "It doesn't have to be that."
