would talk to her?”
Steve’s likes were hidden very deep
You had to slowly dig and discover
I used to be able to feel pleasure in this process.
But slowly, this process made me tired.
I thought, forget it!
On the third day after breaking up with Steve, it was Tessa Crane’s birthday, and she invited me to go out for dinner to celebrate.
– _ “Did Steve go? We broke up, so if he poes, I won’t pod
“What happened again
“No fuss, this time it’s true!”
“No ahead, go ahead! He was busy today, you must come over, otherwise I will get angry!”
Tessa was certain and said that Steve would not po.
When I arrived, I found out that not only was Steve there, but Vivian was also there. Virkan was s
Steve was getting up to hand her the yogurt.
Vivian looked up and gave him a gentle smile.
Steve saw me, but he only glanced at me briefly before looking away.
I wanted to ems around and lewe, but Tessa held onto me
te lite scene face
“Don’t make a fusa, today is my birthday, can’t you give me
sitting in the Innermost part of the private room.
The private room was filled with our long–time friends, and it was something I didn’t want to see if I ruined the atmosphere.
And so, I stayed.
Sitting in the seat near the door, became a karaoke enthusiast!
Laccepted the wine that my friends handed to me without hesitation
They hesitated to speak, and I noticed it, but they didn’t say a single unnecessary word.
In the latter half, things got particularly inexplicable and they started a drinking game,
The two couples present drank amidst the noise and laughter.
The rest was just Steve
Someone pushed him, someone palled me, saying that we must all have a drink. Tessa advised me, “Alright, let’s both take a step back, and this matter will be over. Look, we have already set the stage for you. You raise your glass first, and he will come over.”
I was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that what I called a breakup was probably just a momentary angry remark in their eyes.
They often said. “We really can’t believe you two. Every time you make a big buss, we worry ourselves sick. But the next day, you both act like nothing happened.
Just like the story of “The Boy Who Cried Woll“, the more times people heard it, the less they believed it
I couldn’t help but look towards the other end where Steve was.
He sat there with his eyes downcast, expressionless.
Someone pulled him, but he dodged
With a light “isk” sound, full of anno
fannoyance.
He turned his head, and on that side was Vivian
Vivian raised her chin slightly, judging from her lip movement, she said “go“.
There was a two–second silence, and then Steve picked up the glass on the table and abruptly stood up.
He walked towards me, looked at me, his gaze suppressed.
It was like a glass of broken wine. I laughed
Suddenly, I felt very bored.
So I dodged Steve’s outstretched hand and tilted my head back, finishing the drink in my cup
“You guys play, I’m leaving first!”
Steve’s face instantly darkened.
He looked at me ercely.
I turned around and pushed the door open.
The moment the door closed, I heard the piercing sound of a glass wine glass shattering on the ground.
From my understanding of Steve, he wouldn’t be going back anytime soon.
I decided to go to the new house.
The house was bought by Steve for marriage.
From the age of eighteen to twenty–seven, nine years, we were finally getting married.
But then it got stuck at the last step.
I didn’t bring much with me when I left in a hurry. Many clothes and sketches were left behind.
I spent an hour packing and filling two large suitcases.
I called a car and waited for me downstairs,
Just as I reached the door, it suddenly opened
The first thing I heard was Vivian’s voice.
“Slow down, I told you to drink a little less, you drank too quickly!”
Then I saw Steve
His hand rested on Vivian’s shoulder, while Vivian embraced his waist.
The two people were almost sticking together.
This distance would have been unforgivable between us if nothing had happened.
“Josie!”
Looking up at me, Vivian’s footsteps halted, and her gaze instinctively avoided mine.
