사랑한다는 흔한 말 - Kim Yeon Woo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSCkhDWCGY8 --------------------- Narrator’s P.O.V: On her day off, Miyoung came out of her room, still half-drunk with sleep. Her normally neat dark hair was messy and disheveled. She stopped to stare, however, when she noticed a figure sitting by the windowsill, staring into the outdoors. Rain hit the wall silently, one after the other, until it sounded like a choir of light thumps. The glass was streaked with drops. Miyoung waited a couple of seconds for L. Joe to notice her and say his usual morning greeting with a killer smile. He didn’t. Truthfully, it appeared as though he didn’t even seem to realize that she was right behind him. Something in the way he watched the rain fall gave off the impression that he was feeling bittersweet. He wasn’t smiling or frowning, but it was somewhat in between. Without thinking, her lips moved. “Byunghun.” L. Joe looked over his shoulder, and his whole body jerked up in slight surprise. Miyoung noted that his eyes were a warm tone.

Miyoung blinked, startled by his strange behaviour, and glanced outside. Something was wrong, and she wasn’t sure she liked this kind of gloomy L. Joe, no matter how annoying he got sometimes with his hyperactive attitude. In the back of his mind, Byunghun heard shuffling from the kitchen until the footsteps got closer. A hand outstretched in front of him, and a glass filled with a fruit smoothie was practically shoved in his face. The blonde curiously looked up at Miyoung, who awkwardly stood there. “Drink this, it’s good for you,” was all she said before she forced it into his skinny hand. “You’re too thin.” Byunghun was about to point out that he wasn’t a human, so no matter how much he ate, he’d never get any fatter, but thought against it.
