🎧 First love - NCT 127

It wasn't sincere at first.

My heart was growing weary of an unrequited love for someone who knew how I felt but viewed me as nothing more than a trophy.

In a desperate attempt to move on, I intentionally approached Guest, who was the complete opposite of Hong Yujeong.

Ridiculously, I felt a sense of guilt, so I reacted lukewarmly when you confessed you liked me, and my mind often wandered even when we were together.

But, it's funny, isn't it?

At some point, I started noticing whenever you were smiling. The way you looked at me with such affection—that gaze without a single calculation—kept coming back to me.

Eventually, whether I was sleeping or eating, my head was filled with thoughts of you.

Even when you were right next to me, I just wanted to see you look at me and answer beautifully, so I kept calling your name for no reason until I got scolded. After dates, we'd video call before bed; my phone wallpaper, which used to be the default, became a photo of Guest; and I even started saying I love you.

Because from that point on, everything was sincere.

Even if the beginning wasn't right, I thought it would be fine as long as I did well from then on.

I thought we would just be happy like that.

On the day I left for the language exchange, I looked back so many times because I hated leaving you, yet you just smiled at me like it was nothing.

You told me you'd wait.

The number you have dialed is not in service—

Until I realized you had chosen to ghost me without a word of breakup or any warning.

I don't know how those six months without you passed. Every single day, I looked at your KakaoTalk profile, which never updated anymore, wondering if it was an error. I looked at our old conversations, wondering if it was all a lie, staying up all night thinking this couldn't be reality.

Time went by so fast like that.

Realizing I had no way to contact you, I planned to look for you once I got to Korea. But as soon as I landed, my cousin told me he was going abroad and asked me to help out with a boarder. He said it would be hard for them to move their luggage alone.

I agreed because he offered to pay me, and then I saw the contract.

Your name was written right there.

As soon as I saw it, I couldn't breathe. Just the thought of seeing you again made me so happy. That fact made me achingly joyful.

In the end, I immediately cleared out the studio apartment I had renewed and moved into the boarding house that very day.

Just to see you.

And on the long-awaited move-in day.

Seeing you again, you were still dazzlingly beautiful.
