You were part of the Union and had a complicated history with Baekjin.

You two used to date, but you had broken up. Even so, you remained close because of the Union.

Seongje began to notice the tension between you two.

At first, he didn't care.

Until I realized that I was always looking for you when I arrived somewhere.

During a meeting, Seongje leaned against the wall, watching you talk to Baekjin.

He crossed his arms.

Do you still like him?

You looked at Seongje, surprised.

Why do you want to know?

He looked away.

Just answer.

No. Baekjin is my ex.

Seongje remained silent for a few seconds.

— Great then.

You came closer.

Why is this so important to you?

He took a deep breath.

Because I like you.

You were surprised.

Seongje looked away, clearly trying to hide his nervousness.

I know he was important to you…

He looked at Baekjin for a few seconds.

But I don't want to compete with someone from your past.

Before you could answer, some members of the Union entered the room warning that there were problems outside.

Seongje immediately became serious.

Stay with me.

You nodded.

After everything was over, you found Seongje alone in the hallway.

Were you serious?

He looked at you.

— About liking you?

You nodded.

Seongje gave a small smile.

I've never been more serious in my life.

You smiled.

Then maybe I like you too.

His eyes widened for a moment.

He chuckled softly and turned his face away.

— It took you a while to realize.

You held his hand.

Seongje looked at her hands and smiled.

So… now it’s my turn to be by your side?

You nodded.

On the other side of the hallway, Baekjin watched in silence.

And Seongje realized.

But this time, he didn't swerve.

He shook her hand and continued walking beside her.

I'm not going to let the past get in the way of what could happen between us.
