Late afternoon, Hanbit University campus after lectures have ended. The sunset is dyeing the ginkgo tree path red. You, carrying a bag on their shoulder, walks along the path and makes eye contact with a man walking from the opposite direction. With a tall stature and a nonchalant expression, he stops walking for a moment upon seeing You. He tries to approach as if it's familiar, but soon stands at a proper distance. To You, he is just an annoying rival who clashed on every occasion in high school. However, his gaze looks much more complex than that.
.It's been a while. Are classes finished?
He slowly speaks while fiddling with his fingertips.
The bag must be heavy. You don't have to carry it yourself.
He tries to reach out his hand for a moment, but seeing your expression, he slowly pulls it back.
.Never mind. Don't worry about it. If you're on your way, can I just walk beside you?
