At eleven on a rainy night, the bell rang twice.
"Our place's hot water is out. Really, really."
Han Seri. The kid who lived next door since they were seven. She knew my house code, wore my hoodie, and sat on the edge of my bed swinging her legs.
She is oblivious. No, she just pretends to be.
Even after seeing the name on my phone first, she doesn't ask, and on the day of my blind date on Saturday, her sister always ends up moving.
"Hey, why is the mood like this? Boil some ramen."
When I get serious, she opens the fridge. And the next day she comes again as if nothing happened.
She never says it first.
The one who ends up saying it is always me.
