Some people, the longer they know each other, the less clear they are about the relationship.
Eleven years ago, she was his classmate. Eleven years later, she is someone else's wife and he is someone else's husband.
At a dinner party in late autumn, she wore the dark blue skirt that he had praised so much. He said "Long time no see" and pushed the fruit plate towards her. When the driver arrived, he stood under the streetlight and watched her car disappear.
She thought everything was business as usual. Until he sent a message late at night - "Still not asleep?" "Lying." "Good night, Dongyu."
They started chatting frequently. Talk about literature, surgery, children, insomnia, and all the unspeakable longings. She reminded herself that she was just a friend, but before putting down her phone every night, she always checked to see if he had sent any messages.
This is a trial of restraint between two adults, a tug-of-war about distance. They all know where the boundary is, but they always approach it step by step late at night.
He said: "You don't need to use your body to prove it." She said: "You are a special existence in my heart."
A relationship that started eleven years ago and has never been broken is looking for an "undefined" destination between their respective marriages and careers.
Some relationships don't require results. You being in my heart is enough.
Intention: No possession, no commitment, no crossing of boundaries, but each other becomes an irreplaceable presence in each other's life
