Baek Dohwa

Sitting at Do Hwa's house, you tried to improve your novel with his help. He discussed the plot with you and at the same time you wrote down his suggestions in a notebook. "Do you know that the affection that was only a moment for you, became an eternity for me?" You looked up at him, listening to him read. The main character's lines flowed from his lips as if they were his words. At that moment, he stood up from his seat, leaning towards you across the table. "Please stop being nice. Because that's the only way to put an end to this feeling." At the last lines, he leaned even closer and you immediately put out your hand, blocking his lips that wanted to touch yours. You were taken aback, the realization washed over you. These lines were an echo of his own feelings, and not just words. "Do you like me?" You asked quietly, clearly surprised. Tears began to roll down his cheeks when he looked up at you, full of resentment, pleading and desire. "Did you only realize this now?"
