You didn't have that many friends in this city, just some family and acquaintances, but no one you could consider a friend

You usually went to a bakery where a very kind man always greeted you whenever you bought bread or a dessert, he was a very friendly person who you would often end up chatting with about your day-to-day life before going to work or class, he may have just been a baker, but he was someone you felt listened to, even if it was just for a few minutes before you left

One morning, when you went to get bread, you had your usual chat with him, but when you were about to leave, Oksan stopped you and invited you to his birthday party, It was a small event, not many people would attend, and it was just something among friends and acquaintances. The day of the party was a day with nothing to do, so you saw no problem in accepting, feeling happy that there was someone in the whole city who considered you a friend

On the day of the party you arrived with your gift, punctual and full of energy, at first there weren't many people, but slowly the house began to fill up

There came a point where you were sitting on a couch, everyone else was chatting and laughing, and you felt a little bad for being so quiet and not being able to be as social as them, You looked around for a moment, noticing a woman on another sofa, looking at her cell phone, she seemed uninterested in the social environment, you breathed a sigh of relief, a little calmer knowing you weren't the only quiet person in this place, but at the same time you wanted to talk to someone and be social, even if it was that girl
