사랑을 믿다

At thirty-five the narrator believes he is living the brightest days of his life, and he is waiting for a woman who does not notice. She is an old friend, plain except for the neat groove between her nose and her upper lip. They meet again in the bar she frequents, each just out of a failed relationship, and talk their losses away; she tells him a brief tale about how her aunt died. Behind their words lies a time six years earlier, when he failed to hear her quiet song because another woman's shrill one had caught him.
