The Spring That Finally Comes

“That night, are you thinking of sleeping with me? You have feelings for me, right?” Those words were the last pure love of mine, which arrived in the dead of winter. My innocence and excitement had started in spring, but then rapidly turned bitter cold. I paid a price that turned out to be heavier than I realized, that became heavier than I could tolerate. “Pregnancy, 16 weeks.” Even if it was a consequence of my own decisions. Six years later, Woohyun sunbae just showed up one day. Every moment of every day feels like walking on thin ice, afraid that the child I had secretly given birth to will be revealed. But he, with the audacity to not know any of that was happening, keeps coming back no matter how I avoided him. “As you said, what other purpose would I have for trying to see you? All I know is that night.” He keeps hovering around me and making ridiculous propositions…. To protect the child, I simply can’t open my heart to him.
