The narrator tries to cheer up the young man by reminding him that he's been looking at his face for a long time, and that he doesn't know how he feels about his love for buyan. He tells him that if he had found out earlier, maybe he wouldn't have been so sad. The narrator then tells the boy that he can't apologize for his behavior, because he'll have to deal with all the problems that come with being in love.

The young man says that he wants to go back to the office, but the messenger on the other end of the phone says that the goods must be delivered by 3 p.m.
