I was carried into the house on oppa's back.
“Mm... I'm tired.”
“Oh dear... Are you tired...? Looks like you had fun..ㅎ.”
Ah... Doya..!”
“Mm.. why..?”
“Th-this... a letter came in for you..”
“Who?”
“...Mom.”
“Ha... throw it away.”
“But still, read it once...”
“I said throw it away? Why bring this up now...”
“Ha.. oppa doesn't really know either..
“Read it first since I brought you both here.”
“Ha.. fine, go in and sleep.
“You have to leave early again tomorrow.”
“Okay... You should go to bed too. It's late.”
“Uh...”
I came into the room
“Ha...”
and stared blankly at the letter.
I went as far as the mouth of the trash can,
but curious about what it said, I sat at my desk and read it.
“Doya.. Hi? It's Mom.
It's nothing major, but our daughter
is about to enter high school soon,
so I was thinkingwhat if you lived with Mom..?”
There was a lot more after that, but
after crumpling the letter,I threw it into the trash can.
I hated how they were acting nice now, after leaving me behind,
and maybe there was even a happy birthday message after that, but
I was annoyed that they came out of nowhere saying we should live together.
Then again... would they even know my birthday..?
But for a moment, I hesitated.
I want oppa to be happy.
Once I enter high school,
there'll be a lot to take care of, entrance exams and everything,
and I wondered if oppa could handle that.
“Ha... this is annoying.”
My parents who abandoned me..
No, because of those people
I hated and was so annoyed by having to deal with stress.
I just stared at the trash can
and wondered what those people were up to,
that they were acting like this now.
Well.. they probably left me and went on to live happily.
I'm happy too.
Because they're not here.
At least rather than spending my whole life hearing fighting sounds
and nonsense nagging
I'd be happier living that way.
And so, annoyed as I was, I fell asleep.
The next day came,
and the day after that too,
I wrapped up vacation
with one decent day after another.
When the first day of school dawned,
I packed my things as usualand headed outside.
While walking along the road,
“Hey!! Han Doa!!”
“Huh..!! What?! You didn't go to basketball club practice today...??”
“Yeah..ㅎ!”
“What are you doing..!!! You can't skip..!!”
“School starts today, so I won't go for a week starting todayㅋ.”
“What..!! You startled me...“
”ㅎ... cute.!! Let's go!!”
“Hey.. but in a little while it'll be our 100th day..?”
“I know... 6 days..? or so left..!”
“What..!! You memorize dates..??”
“Uh... I've been counting ever since I started dating you..!”
“Wow... I actually memorize it too..!!”
“You don't have to..ㅎ.
I'm the one remembering it, so what..ㅎ”
“If you remember it, then I have to remember it too..!!“
”Geez..!! Fine already?..ㅎ”
“Heheh... then what should we do on our 100th day?”
“Good question... but that day isn't Friday, it's a weekday, so
going anywhere might be kind of hard...”
“True... then let's just go to my place after school and hang out!”
“Okay~!!”
“You don't have basketball practice then, right..?
“Nope!!...ㅎ“
”You're not lying, are you?..“
”ㅋㅋㅋSeriously!
But why are you suddenly so worried about my basketball club..ㅎ“
”Because sports day is coming up soon..!! Didn't you know..?“
”Ah..!! Right... that's true.“
“Basketball club guys basically have to go by default, right?”
“Right... ugh~ I don't want to go..!!”
“Why... you like playing basketball, don't you..!!”
“Yeah... but if I play in the game,
I can't be with you...ㅜ“
”ㅋㅋㅋYou scared me... I got startled for nothing..!!
I'll cheer from the bench..!!“
“Mm..!!”
Six days passed quickly, and the 100th day arrived.
When I opened my eyes, there was a message from Myeong Jaehyeon.
“Hey, Han Doa! There's a broadcast club meeting after school today!”
‘...?? Out of nowhere..!!’
”Out of nowhere? Why?“
”I don't really know either...
The principal says there's an urgent meeting...
Come to the broadcast room after school.”
“Okay.”
‘Damn... ugh..!!! I need to tell Sanghyeok later.‘
After getting ready and heading outside,
“Hey..!! Lee Sanghyeok!!”
“Oh~!! Here!!”
“Did you sleep well?”
“I did...ㅎ. Ah..!! Hey, Sanghyeok..!”
“Y-yeah..! Why?”
“I suddenly got called into a broadcast club meeting today, so
could you go to my place first...?”
오늘 오빠 늦게 들어와서 괜찮아.”
“Yeah..!! Sure, I can do that.”
“Sorry..ㅜ.”
“No..ㅎ It's okay!”
“Thanks for understanding..!!“
“Don't mention it..ㅎ“
And so, after school ended, I headed to the broadcast room.
“...Oh..!! Han Doa!! Hurry up and come here!!”
“Oh..!! Has everyone else arrived..?“
”Not yet, a few peo..“
“Sorry I'm late..!!”
“Hey..!! First-year!! Come in quickly..!”
“Yes..!! Sorry...”
“No need to apologize,
let's just finish the meeting quickly..!!
You all have plans after this, right? Come on..let's do this quickly!!
“Yes!!”
After the meeting ended,
“Alright.. then this is how we'll do it in the end..!!
Everyone worked hard.!! See you all next time!!“
“Yes!!”
“Hey... good work.”
“You too...”
“Be careful on your way home..!”
“Mhm.”
“U~gh I'm dead tired..!! Gotta hurry and g..”
“Uh, excuse me, senior..!!“
“Oh...!! What is it?”
“I... I have something to say..!”
“Hmm... is it urgent..?“
”Yes... pretty urgent..“
“Oh...!! What is it..?”
“It's... not something I can say here..! Over there..”
“It's okay..!! No one's looking anyway, just say it here!”
“I...well..ㄱ..
I like you, senpai...”
