In the corner of Yung Ho, Anthon and Jege sit by the window, bathed in warm and gentle light, while relaxed music playing around them adds to the cozy atmosphere of the night. They ordered classic soy milk and fried dough sticks, chatting as they enjoyed their snacks. The conversation gradually heated up along with the delicious snacks, and they each shared their love for running and personal experiences.
Jege first shared why he loves running, believing it's not only a great way to relieve stress but also an important activity for maintaining health. He described, "When I run, I can feel every breath of my body, and every step takes me further away from worries." Jege's eyes were filled with passion for running and a longing for freedom.
Anthon also shared his experience of how running helps balance busy work life and personal stress. "Running gives me space to find a moment of peace amidst the busyness," Anthon said with a hint of relief in his voice.
In a relaxed and pleasant conversation, the two were surprised to discover that they were actually alumni of the same elementary and middle school. Anthon exclaimed, "It's really a coincidence. Perhaps we passed each other countless times in the school corridors."
Jege responded to Anthon's surprise, saying with a smile, "Yeah, I never thought that we grew up so close to each other, but only truly started getting to know each other today." His voice carried a hint of incredulity and joy.
This discovery made their conversation even more lively. They began reminiscing about the little things from their school days, discussing familiar landmarks and possible school activities they may have participated in together. Whenever they mentioned a familiar scene or event, they would share knowing laughter, creating a warm and nostalgic atmosphere in their conversation.
The chance encounter and in-depth conversation made the two feel like more than just new friends, but rather like old friends reuniting. In that moment, the distance between them was invisibly shortened, as if the barriers of time and space quietly melted away in this late-night snack shop.
In a corner of the Yung Ho shop, Anthon and Jege's conversation became unstoppable. The topics ranged from running to various interesting aspects of life. Jege seemed to have unique insights and rich experiences on every topic, which surprised and excited Anthon. Whether it was about music, movies, or deeper discussions such as life planning and career development, Jege was able to provide unique perspectives and advice.
Anthon discovered that chatting with Jege was extremely easy, and every topic could lead to unexpected depth and breadth, which greatly relaxed his originally tense mood. During the conversation, Anthon also increasingly felt that Jege was not just a pleasant chat partner, but more like a friend who could understand and guide his thoughts.
As the night deepened, their topics gradually became more personal and deeper. With Jege's guidance, Anthon shared his emotional fluctuations and emotional entanglements over the past few weeks. Jege listened very attentively, occasionally interjecting with some opinions or comfort, which made Anthon feel unprecedented relief and understanding.
Jege's personality charm and depth gradually occupy a place in Anthon's heart. He begins to feel that he is not only attracted by Jege's wisdom, but also deeply respects his personality and attitude. After dinner, their relationship has evolved from casual acquaintances to friends who can support and understand each other at a deep level.
Anthon and Jege sit in the Soy Milk from Yung Ho shop, their conversation flowing naturally. As the night deepens, the topics also gradually become deeper. When Anthon curiously asks about the story behind the nickname Jege, Jege smiles slightly, but then his expression becomes serious, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"Actually, there is a story behind the name Jege. " Jege fell silent for a moment, as if organizing his memories, and then slowly began, "When I was young, I was deeply involved in the underworld. At that time, I was the leader of a small gang, and because I led a group of people, everyone got used to calling me Jege.
Jege paused, his voice carrying an indescribable heaviness, "I soon realized that this kind of life was not what I truly wanted. I didn't like the daily life filled with violence and uncertainty. I knew that if I continued, it would eventually ruin my life."
"So, I made a decision - to quit. I retired abruptly, completely breaking away from that world," Jege said with a sense of relief, as if unburdening himself from a heavy load, "Although I left that circle many years ago, that title has always remained."
Jege added with a smile, "Now I prefer this peaceful life, enjoying running on these paths, feeling the natural breeze, and conversing with different people. I am grateful to have walked out of that dark past and to have this kind of life now."
Anthon felt a kind of shock he had never experienced before after listening. He felt a deep admiration for Jege, and this sincerity made their relationship even more genuine. Anthon now understands Jege's life philosophy and his appreciation for freedom. He is grateful that Jege was willing to share such a personal and profound experience, which not only gave him a new understanding of Jege, but also led him to deeper reflection on his own situation.
Anthon felt the urge to urinate and hurriedly walked towards the restroom in the store. On the way, his thoughts were still on the conversation with Jege. Jege's experience and his current attitude greatly inspired Anthon and greatly eased his mood.
Walking down the narrow corridor towards the restroom, Anthon couldn't help but marvel at Jege's charisma. Without Jege's company and comforting words tonight, he might still be troubled by the complex emotions towards Haohao, and his inner world might still be in chaos. But now, Jege's honesty and advice felt like a soothing balm, bringing an unprecedented tranquility to his soul.
This newfound calmness filled him with fresh anticipation for the upcoming journey to the south, and it also gave him more courage and determination to face and handle his relationship with Haohao. The inner turmoil seemed to find an outlet in Jege's words, gradually dissipating into the air.
After entering the restroom, Anthon quickly composed himself, washed his face, and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He felt more clear-headed and determined. As he left the restroom, his steps were more steady, carrying with him gratitude towards Jege and new hope for the future. He returned to his seat, ready to continue this comforting evening for his soul.
