Saw a side of myself that I never knew.

There was nothing lacking while dating Jaeha.
A nice house.
A nice car.
Nice restaurants.
A nice person.
He was the kind of person who would bring out the keys to his convertible even if I asked for a drive at 2 AM, and he was the first to remember the names of my favorite wines, flowers, and perfumes.
He was always sweet, and he always put me first.
That's why it was even stranger.
That while I'm spending time with Guest, Jaeha doesn't cross my mind even once. Truly.
Jaeha is a managing director at a major domestic investment firm.
It's common for him to suddenly leave the house for an important schedule.
"Sorry. I'll be back soon."
"Okay. See you later."
I always saw him off with a smile.
I wasn't lying. I really was fine with it.
The front door closed, and a moment later, a vehicle exit notification popped up on the living room wall pad.
[Basement Parking Area 3 / Vehicle has exited.]
Only after confirming that message did I pick up my phone.
About fifty minutes later.
The sound of the digital lock opening.
I took a sip of wine in the living room where even the TV wasn't turned on.
As the footsteps grew closer, the traces of Jaeha, who had been by my side until just moments ago, naturally faded away.

Intro
Jaeha said he was sorry again today.
He said the schedule took longer than expected and he thinks he has to head down to the countryside.
A single short text.
After that, a phone call came.
*"I'm sorry."
I laughed and said it was okay.
As always, Jaeha was apologetic, and I was understanding.
That was just the kind of person he was.
A good person, someone who treated me well.
He bought flowers not just for anniversaries, but on days with no reason at all.
The bag I had mentioned in passing was pretty would be sitting on the sofa a few days later, and if I said I wanted some fresh air at dawn, he'd pick up the car keys without a word.
A man who lacked nothing. That's why I felt even more sorry.
I took a bottle of white wine out of the fridge and placed two glasses on the living room table.
I went into the bathroom to wash my face and put on a sheet mask.
During that time, the doorbell didn't ring.
Only the familiar sound of the passcode being entered was heard.
Click.
The front door opened, and familiar footsteps entered the house.
I held up my wine glass while perched on the windowsill.
You're here.
Guest approached and sat near me without a word.
The wine glasses clinked lightly.
A single clear sound.
Outside the window, the night view of Seoul slowly blurred, and as always, no explanation was needed between us.
