Kaya ended the call. Maybe that would have been the easiest way to dispel the magic. Kaya walked towards him. Then, as if she was knocking she lightly hit the back of his hand that was holding his still-terrified face.

"Is there someone inside?"
".........Yes. There is."
"Why are you putting that dumb-like expression? Why? Was the stimulation too excessive for the mister absolute sense of taste?"
"Are you also like this with other people?"
"Don't be so strict. .......I understand. I don't. I don't do it."

Kaya treated him as if he was an ill-natured kid. Jo Minjoon was perplexed. Since when was Kaya this relaxed in front of him? Jo Minjoon glanced at her brown hair and said.

"Did you dye it?"
"Yes. Nowadays I also have a coordinator. Did I tell you last time?"
"No. Anyways, it's pretty. But even so, I like black more."
"Well, honestly speaking if you aren't conscious you don't even know that it changed. Even if it's brown it's a dark brown."

Kaya talked like that and rolled her hair with her finger. Jo Minjoon, who was looking at that, mumbled "should I also dye." Kaya put on a severe face and said.

"No. Never. If you do that I will immediately dye it blonde."
"..........Why can't I?"
"I don't like it. I like your black hair."

Looking at Kaya throwing a tantrum like that, a smile appeared rather than feeling annoyed. Why did she feel so pretty in whatever she did? Jo Minjoon unconsciously pinched her cheek. Kaya rolled her eyes while still having her cheek pinched and glared at his hand.

"Wats dis, dis line."
"As you act like a kid, it makes me treat you like one. It's your fault."
"Let's speak after u teik ur hands off."

After he let go, Kaya glared at him while rubbing her cheek.

"It hurts."
"Sorry."
"........You always apologized immediately. I can't even get angry anymore."

The two of them kept discussing like that for a while more. For some, it may be a meaningless conversation, but they weren't doing this to pass the time at all. They needed those normal conversations, the flowing of the meaningless time the most. They grieved it the most...

...to the point they could endure the sleepiness. These light words, which came and went through this chilly air, felt like it embraced them in a warm way. One hand, or perhaps it was two hands of distance that they were separated from each other, but their words and feelings certainly reached the other.

"So tomorrow you are going to Alan's restaurant?"
"Yeah. We aren't going in the morning, but at lunch."
"How good. I also want to go with you."
"......Do you have time?"
"No. That's why I want to go."

Kaya clinged on the handrail with a depressed face. Jo Minjoon was putting a nervous face next to her and prepared to hold her for if something unexpected happened. Kaya turned her head while still clinging on the handrail and looked at Jo Minjoon without saying anything. Kaya extended her hand.

Jo Minjoon chose to look at her instead of grabbing that hand. Kaya swung her arm and said.

"Will you grab my hand?"

It didn't mean to hold her for when she fell. However Jo Minjoon wordlessly grabbed her hand. Although the cold air pinched their hands, the blood that flows hotly warmed up their hands. Kaya sensed that heat and said.

"Nowadays, I'm grabbing the hands of people the most since I was born. I'm not the type to like handshakes much. But the funny thing is that however many times I grab a hand, there is no one that grabs me as tightly as this."
"Are you scared?"
"........Yeah. Although I want to boast in front of you, I feel like I want to be more honest with you. I'm scared. In the past I just lived as a part of the world, but now the whole world is looking at me. I just thought that I had succeeded........ But it wasn't only that. The funny thing is..."
