Bamboo Forest Manager

The late night when the streets grew dim.

Choi Yiseo and I were walking together on the night road.

We took the bus, but we still needed to walk a bit to reach our accommodation, Hotel Building C.

“……”

The awkward atmosphere, as cold as the chilly air, pricked at my cheeks.

There were a few times like this with Choi Yiseo. After a conversation where emotions were poured out intensely, this awkward silence always followed.

Only the sounds of stepping on the unmelted snow on the street softly reached my ears.

We kept moving forward, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

Thanks to that, the situation from just a moment ago kept replaying in my mind, even though I didn’t want it to.
