Suyeon ran into Chanyoung three times after that day.
Coincidentally.

In front of the cafe, in the library hallway, and—
In front of the vending machine near the gym.

“We meet again? ”
He said, pulling out a cola.
Words thrown out without any particular meaning. But she begins to read their meaning.

“…Are you a stalker?”

“No, I’ve been avoiding you, so why do you keep showing up like this?”

I hate that smiling face.
That face made my heart flutter in high school
Right now I just want to throw it away.

But then he asked again.
“Why do you hate it?”

"you."

“...I was wondering why you said that too.”
“But I think I understand now. You were disappointed in me.”

Suyeon forgot her words for a moment.
Chanyoung had a serious face.
A sincere expression that I rarely saw before.

“I was waiting for you on graduation day.”

At those words, Suyeon's fingertips trembled slightly.

“I tried to tell you that day, but I couldn’t.”
“That I liked you. And... that we had to transfer schools because of our circumstances.”

"circumstances?"

“Our house moved. Mom and Dad got divorced. Everything suddenly changed.”
“But… I didn’t want to burden you unnecessarily. I thought you’d be more comfortable if I just disappeared.”

Suyeon was speechless.
The 'hate scenario' that I've been putting together in my head
It fell apart quietly.

[Back in high school]
Graduation day.
Suyeon was standing next to the gym holding a bouquet of flowers.
Without fail.
Then Chanyoung's friend said.

“Huh? Chanyoung? He already left. I told you he transferred schools.”

Suyeon couldn't say anything and just threw away the bouquet.
From then on, emotions were weapons.
I hid the fact that I was 'hurt' by saying 'I hate it'.

[today]

“Why are you telling me this now?”
Suyeon asked quietly.

“You want to hold me back now?”
“Or are you just trying to rationalize it?”

But Chan-young says something unexpected.

“Neither. I just... felt like I needed to tell you the truth.”
“And if by any chance you felt the same way as I did back then… I thought, why don’t we try starting over again?”

Suyeon took a deep breath.
The sun was warm and the can of Coke was getting cold.
The heart moved on its own again.

Emotions always miss the timing.
But the truth sometimes arrives, even if it's late.
Ha Su-yeon hasn't answered yet.
Instead, I remembered the bouquet of flowers that day.

How happy would it be if I could give a bouquet of flowers to someone else one more time? Suyeon's face darkened as she saw me sadly unable to say those words. She always cherishes life more.
