The reason I feel distant may actually be because my mind moved first.
When warmth doesn’t disappear
온기 is not the heat of closeness. It is quieter than that.
It is what lingers after the pace of a relationship changes, when distance is no longer dramatic but simply present. In Week 4, this warmth does not rush forward or pull anyone back. It stays where it is, unannounced, almost unnoticed, yet steady.
The space that still feels inhabited
Even when two people step back, something remains in the space between them. 온기 lives there. It is felt in the way silence is not entirely empty, in how familiar thoughts still arrive without effort. The relationship has shifted, but the emotional climate has not gone cold.
Warmth without direction
This kind of warmth does not ask for resolution. It does not insist on reunion or clarity. It exists without a clear purpose, simply marking that something meaningful once settled here and has not fully left. In that sense, 온기 becomes a gentle witness to what was shared.
At this stage, the meaning of 온기 does not need to be held tightly. It can remain open, allowing its presence to move beyond language, suggesting that meaning may continue in another form, quietly connected to what came before.
