Don't wait for me

Episode 16 - His Circumstances

“Haa…”

 

Taehyun’s mind was way too tangled.

Why had Seolhwa appeared before him now, of all times?

Had he not hurt her cruelly enough already…

He thought he’d forgotten everything by now, but when Taehyun saw Seolhwa again for the first time, he held back tears.

She looked exactly the same, but in Seolhwa’s eyes, which had once shone with dreams and innocence, only emptiness remained.

She really looked lonely and hurt, and he couldn’t shake it off.

“Was Yujeong… hurt too…”

After Taehyun’s heart had calmed a little, he left the classroom.

Yujeong had already left the classroom after staying with him.

It had only been a few minutes.

As Taehyun was leaving the classroom, Bummgyu and Yujeong were standing under the tree where he and Seolhwa had met again.

Yujeong was clinging to him, sobbing uncontrollably.

“...”

He couldn’t see her expression clearly, but Taehyun could tell instinctively.

That Choi Bummgyu’s eyes looking at Yujeong were the same as his own when he looked at Seolhwa.

***

At first, she was just annoying.

“Just wait, I’m gonna make you fall for me!”

Even with Yujeong’s declaration of war, Taehyun just took it in stride.

Love and dating and all that stuff felt like childish games now.

But why had he, before he knew it, been unable to take his eyes off Yujeong?

“...She’s similar.”

Taehyun thought that when he saw Yujeong’s smile.

Just like Seolhwa.

The two of them had clearly different vibes and styles.

Yujeong gave off a cute yet sharp, put-together kind of vibe, while Seolhwa had something more dreamy and calm about her.

It was like the sun and the moon.

Similar, yet not similar.

 

Naturally, his eyes were drawn to Yujeong; maybe that was only natural.

‘I like Yujeong… I hate seeing her get hurt too. But… why do I keep…’

Taehyun passed by Bummgyu and Yujeong, pretending not to know them.

As if they were just people passing by on the street.

 

 

Alright, stop here!!

Did you enjoy it...

First of all,,

I think both Suji and Jiu are pretty in different ways...!

But in the story, Seolhwa and Yujeong really do look quite similar...so if you know Inuyasha, it’d be like thinking of Kikyo/Kagome))

Yes...,
