Minhyun) "Okay, let's look at page 98."


(Yeju) 'Ah... I'm sleepy...'





I couldn't help but yawn during the boring class. I rested my chin on my hand, bored, and looked out the window. I saw children doing physical education in the distance.

This sweltering heat should have been exhausting, but the kids didn't. Their voices blew through the window. The bouncing of the ball, the shouts for passes, the cheering—it was incredibly loud outside.
The room was already filled with the sounds of snoring, the teacher teaching, the writing on the board, and the air conditioner running loudly.

The teacher shook his head at the relaxed atmosphere, perhaps because there was only a week left until vacation.




Minhyun) "Everyone, wake up!!!"


Yeoju) 'Be quiet'




Due to the worst conditions for sleeping, I eventually gave up on sleeping... Of course, I also gave up on attending classes.




Yeoju) "Ha........"





I rested my chin on my hand and looked back at the children playing happily outside.
Looking at the uniform, I think he's a middle school student... I guess it's better to be at least a year younger...





Talk-





Yeoju) ''?''




As I sighed and looked outside, someone very carefully tapped my shoulder.

The main character is my crush, Kim Dong-hyun.

I turned my head to look at him and almost had a collision. If only he had come a little closer...




(Yeoju) "G....Kim Dong-hyun?"





Both he and I were embarrassed and looked at each other for a long time.





Donghyun) "Ugh..."




A smile appeared on his lips, and I followed suit, raising the corners of my mouth. Perhaps my dumbfounded expression was amusing, or perhaps the situation itself was amusing.





Yeoju) "Where is Byeol?"


Donghyun) "Moonbyul?"


Yeoju) "Uh huh"


The last name is Moon and the first name is Byeol.
I clearly remember you sitting next to me...
Byul, who transferred in the middle of the semester, was like my first best friend, since my only friends were Lee Dae-hwi and those guys.
After all, there are many things that are inconvenient when the genders are different...
Since both Byul and I liked each other, we became close very quickly.
For example... You were the first person to know that I liked Donghyun, right? Of course, I didn't say it myself.

When I looked at Dong-Hyeon with a bewildered expression, he chuckled and pointed somewhere.




Yeoju) "Ah"




Byul was sleeping in the place where Dong-hyeon was assumed to be. Very soundly.

I looked at Donghyun again and asked




Yeoju) "When did you change seats?"


Donghyun) "Just now? Since you were watching the middle school kids playing basketball."


(Yeoju) "That wasn't just now......"





It was like that from the beginning......
I didn't attend any classes today and just watched the basketball game.
I don't know anything about basketball...





Donghyun) "Is a guy who plays basketball cool?"


Yeoju) "Um... well? I don't even know the basics of basketball."


Donghyun) "What do you think it would be like if this guy was good at basketball?"




Kim Dong-hyun playing basketball...
Just thinking about it made me excited...





Yeoju) "M...what would be cool? Because a man who exercises is cool."





Donghyun muttered, "Should I learn basketball from Seongwoon?"
I heard him mumbling and blurted out something to try to calm things down.





Yeoju) "But basketball... I don't know much about it... I don't know much about it!! Any sport you're good at is fine."


Donghyun) "Then do you want to go cycling with me? I'm really good at cycling."


Yeoju) "I don't know"




Then he turned away from me with a satisfied smile and looked at the judge and said


Donghyun) "I can tell you"


Yeoju) 'It's like asking for a date.'




I tried to turn my head to hide my slightly flushed face.
He had just stepped away from me, but he came back to me and whispered so quietly that only I could hear.

Donghyun) "Come to the back of the school later. Before lunchtime ends. I have something to tell you."




I nodded, and he tickled my heart again with his spring-breeze smile.




Yeoju) 'Lunch time..... Behind the school.......
It's still the second period...........'




I felt my ears, filled with excitement, burning like the temperature of my excitement.

photoA slightly chilly backside of the school, with cicadas chirping loudly and a melting ice cream in one hand.

I ran out of breath, and when I saw Dong-Hyeon kicking a rock with his feet, looking down at the ground, I took a deep breath as if I hadn't run at all.

If it weren't for the teacher's request, I would have come sooner...
Well... I still got two ice creams though

My breathing began to return to normal and I approached Donghyun.





Yeoju) "Hey, Kim Dong-hyun!"

Donghyun) "Are you here?"
