That night
I was swept up in some inexplicable excitement and couldn’t sleep,
to the point that while Oppa was eating, he even asked if something was wrong
and I guess I was making a big fuss over everything.
‘Heheheheh’
“What’s with them.”
The next morning
When I woke up in the morning, my head was burning hot.
It seems like even Sanghyeok’s windbreaker
couldn’t keep out the cold.
But when I got up,
there was no one at home,
justa banana Oppa had left out for me to eat on the table.
“No one’s here...”
I just picked up my schoolbag and went outside.
It was still chilly out.
I believed this cold would leave someday
and soon a warm spring breezewould blow in.
Homeroom was over, and it was PE time.
It was still cold, but the gym teacher
called us out to the field.
In the cold weather, we played dodgeball outside.
My vision gradually blurred,
and when I opened my eyes, I was in the nurse’s office.
“Huh...? What... why am I..”
“You collapsed.”
Myeong Jaehyeon said, looking at me.
“I... ah, my head..”
“Just lie down. The teacher will be here soon.”
“But why are you here?”
“I came to get this signed,
but the teacher said she’d do it, and then she suddenly left..”
“I see..?”
“But if I collapsed, who brought me here..?”
“Um... some girl the two of them were huffing and puffing
and carried you over here.”
“Oh no... I feel bad, what am I gonna do..”
“Haha, make sure you come back in time for your broadcasting club interview later.”
”Mm-hm.“
Today was the day the freshmen had their broadcasting club interviews.
After school, I had to go to the broadcasting room.
“Wait... I’m the one getting interviewed?”
“Yep lol”
“When I first joined, I was so nervous.”
Jaehyeon said.
“Hey, at least you did well.
When I first joined, I didn’t play music during lunch,
and the teacher really chewed me out lol.”
“lol but you’re good at it now.”
”lol I’m gonna be really nice to the freshmen.
Back then, the seniors were so scary.“
“True, hey, hey, the teacher’s here.”
The nurse came in,
and Jaehyeon got the signature and left right away.
The nurse said I was better now, but
if it happened again, I should go to the hospital next time.
And I lay down and slept a little more.
After sleeping a bit and waking up,
fourth period was almost over.
The teacher told me to go back to the classroom.
When I went into the classroom, all the kids were looking at me.
“Hey, hey, class isn’t over yet.
Focus, Handoa, sit down quickly.”
the teacher said.
“Yes.”
I sat down,
and Sanghyeok spoke to me.
“Hey, are you feeling a little better?”
”Mm... so-so.“
”Did I come in too late yesterday... sorry.“
”No... why would you be sorry..“
”Well... if you’d just gone home yesterday,
maybe you would’ve been okay today..“
”No... yesterday was fun. Don’t apologize
what are you even sorry for..“
Ring ring ring-
When the bell rang to signal lunch,
we all went to get our school lunch.
“Hey, are you feeling a bit better?”
a friend asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine. After sleeping and waking up, I feel a little better.”
“Hey, but do you seriously have something going on with Lee Sanghyeok?”
“?? What are you talking about all of a sudden.”
“You didn’t hear?”
“Hear what.”
”The second you collapsed,
Lee Sanghyeok ran to the nurse’s office carrying you on his back.“
”Huh...?“
‘Then what was Myeong Jaehyeon...’
