A single butterfly fluttered around the fluorescent light, mesmerizing my eyes. After a while, the butterfly flew out of the window I had opened. My gaze lingered on the window, and all I could see outside was the jagged outline of buildings. The black walls reminded me of an eerie, gothic interior. It was like a dark mirror that would reflect my soul if I looked into it. Once again, I gazed blankly out the window, and my consciousness was sucked into that dark reflection. *** I first met her when I graduated from college and was looking for a job. During my time in school, I had little ambition and spent most of my time at home. After graduation, it was difficult for me to find work, so I took on a part-time job to make ends meet. At first, I did all kinds of work, but as it became too much for me, I found myself napping during studying for a job, everything became difficult. So, I looked for a part-time job that was less demanding and happened to come across a convenience store. Of course, working at a convenience store wasn't easy either. I would sometimes lose money due to calculation mistakes, and during busy times, it was truly hellish. But over time, things improved. It was around the time that two years had passed, that I met her. She appeared somewhat clumsy, but had a neat appearance, and her sweat pants and fleece jacket, and TOEIC book tucked under her arm gave an impression of her personality and her dedication to studying. She was also polite, and it was easy to talk to her. It was more than a fortnight before I had the opportunity to talk to her. As usual, she put banana milk on the counter. And I hinted at what I had been practicing. "Do you like banana milk a lot? You only have it every day......" Unlike thinking, 'Okay, it was natural,' my heart trembled. Soon, I began to think, 'Maybe I just talked to her in vain?' However, I had already spoken. I soon made up my mind. Wasn't that what you've been practicing for this time? "Oh, yes...... I don't hate it...." She said that and smiled sheepishly. That was the first conversation she and I had. And so the volume of conversation increased little by little. As many of those conversations were, we grew closer and I had learned a lot about her.
