Through Sunsets and Midnights

“Are you Kim Minju?!”

Not minding the people living around her with her voice echoing through the hall,

And may have even passed through some specific thin walls around her unit,

Chaewon looked straight at the girl standing a couple of meters away from her to see that she did not flinch nor move at all,

Like she didn’t even hear her voice though Chaewon did just violate a rule they have here in their building,

She really hopes nobody comes out of their doors right now or she may be the first one,

To actually pay a fine for such a stupid policy this place has for its residents.

Chaewon unbelievably walked out of her house with a single slipper holding her door open so she could walk back inside without needing to use her keys,

The girl anxiously walking towards the elevator with a singular note in her hand and her whole imaginary heart in the other,

This will be the basic means of knowing if this is indeed her or not, and whether Chaewon’s night just got a whole lot better or not.

See uncertainty is a scary thing but what’s scarier is not taking risks,

And this simple walk Chaewon decided to take is already a huge step away from her breakdown earlier,

To actually be not sobbing while she’s walking down their hallway is much better,

Than feeling all miserable and disappointed on her own back in front of her tv.

A white long-sleeved blouse exposed from the ‘dry clean only’ coat she has sliding down from her shoulders,

Enough to cover more of her body than the floral patterned mini skirt she’s wearing,

That Chaewon has clearly seen by the time she stopped and stood right beside her,

Noticing that she was wearing some Bluetooth earphones that’s making it harder for her to actually communicate with her,

Chaewon’s been standing beside her long enough for a normal person to notice already,

She’s not really sure if what she’s about to do may make her look like a bad guy or not for a first impression between the two of them,

She clearly doesn’t want to leave an impression the complete opposite of hers,

If she’s indeed the mystery person behind this note coming from unit 614.

Her hand going against the odds with Chaewon’s heart beating out of her chest.,

Anxiety making her regret everything she has done until this moment,

She’s really going to tap someone else’s shoulder and it’s really up to fate what happens next.

Chaewon’s naturally not an optimistic person but for this one time only happening of her actually being the one going near another person,

She’s really betting everything on not making a fool out of herself.

“Nae?”

Seeing her eyes look directly at Chaewon as if it was staring into her soul and maybe her spirit,

Chaewon froze a little after seeing how familiar she looks to her and though she’s still hesitant if she does know her deeper than an accidental meeting,

Chaewon knew she had to push through with talking if she wants something else to come out of this trial,

Of finding who gave her a note that has most likely managed to change her life in one glance.
