Ep_0.8
Hahahoho, watching the two of them talking from afar, I thought they really looked good together. The height difference was just enough to make them look like lovers, and their faces were equally beautiful, so if they were a couple, they would be called handsome and beautiful. The phrase "just looking good together" seemed to fit perfectly.
Garang, who had been quietly watching, simply smiled and looked at the two. Taehyung, while talking to Seonhee, saw another figure in the distance and quickly approached Garang.
“How long have you been here?”
After a long pause, Garang answered the question.
“Continuing after school?”
“… It took so long, sorry.”
Taehyung was just stroking the back of his neck, perhaps embarrassed. Then, Seonhee appeared from behind, smiled at Taehyung, and spoke.
“It’s okay, I’m late because there’s a lot of recycling to do.”
“Uh… yeah.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
Seonhee smiled and replied that it was nothing. Taehyung said that he would quickly put the recycling bin down and go into the classroom with Seonhee, put the bin down, put his bag on, and left the classroom. Taehyung met Garang's eyes and looked at her as if asking why she had been waiting for him.
Garang looked into those black eyes for a long time, then came to his senses and spoke.
“Have you seen our school’s match?”
Taehyung looked at Garang with an expression as if to ask what Daejeon was.
“You don’t know Daejeon…?”
"huh."
Garang sighed and explained to me, step by step, what Daejeon was. Daejeon was a place where children could anonymously post their innermost thoughts, or they could post on my behalf, revealing their names. Then, he explained it step by step. Taehyung finally understood and let out a sigh of admiration.
“Do you know what it is now?”
"huh."
“I heard about it briefly from a friend I knew before.”
“What? Then you already knew.”
"huh."
“But it’s been a year or two, so I guess I don’t remember well.”
“That could be.”
“Anyway, right now in Daejeon, other kids are believing false rumors and looking down on you.”
“So, Seonhee and I will help you.”
Taehyung kept his mouth shut and then looked at Garang and said.
“Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine.”
“It’s something that will all pass anyway.”
His dark eyes were unfocused. His voice was devoid of any emotion. It felt like everything would pass, and once it did, he could just go about his business as usual. I couldn't quite put into words what it felt like. It felt like Kim Taehyung was carrying everything on his shoulders.
Garang looked straight into Taehyung's eyes and spoke.
“I really want to help.”
Taehyung avoided eye contact with Garang. He then apologized. He continued to say that it was just another incident that would pass among the truly bad things that would happen. He then looked at Garang.
“Thank you very much, but you don’t have to go that far.”
“Nothing good will come of being involved with me.”
Garang bit her lip. She was angry. About Kim Taehyung? No. She just seemed to hate everyone in the world. Why couldn't she help him? Why had she driven an innocent child to this? That was the anger she felt. Had Taehyung seen Garang like that? He continued.
“I’m really okay, I don’t really care.”
"okay…"
Taehyung took notice and spoke.
“Should I take you home?”
"uh…?"
_
Oh my, what is this? It's really taking me here. Is this, is this the right place...? The alley that usually seemed wide seems narrow today as we walk along it... Is this the right place...? Seriously, what should I say? What should I do?
“I didn’t know we both lived in the same direction.”
While contemplating for a while, Taehyung's voice came into her head. Garang abruptly stopped her thoughts and spoke up.
“Haha, that’s right. I didn’t know that either.”
As we were leaving school and parting ways, I realized only then that Seonhee was heading in the opposite direction. It was an unbelievable coincidence, how could this have happened? In the end, we parted ways and walked side by side. But this alley, which was no different than usual, seemed unusually narrow today.
It's not really that narrow, but our shoulders bump against each other and so... it feels narrow. Taehyung continued speaking at Garang's response.
“I didn’t know either.”
“Do you always go to school this way?”
“Yeah, if you’re going to be late, go the other way, but if you have time, come to school this way.”
Taehyung chuckled softly at Garang's answer.
“Huh, why are you laughing?”
“No, I guess I should say it’s cute, it’s just funny to say it.”
“Oh, yeah…”
I feel something reddening. Do you feel it…? Reddening…? To Kim Taehyung…?Garang quickly wrapped his arms around my cheek and hit me.Yuga and I need to come to our senses. This isn't right... But I can't come to my senses. No, I can't. I just feel like I'm going to die from overwork. This isn't right, this isn't right...
At that moment, Taehyung continued speaking.
“Thank you so much for helping me today.”
"huh…"
“But I’m really okay, so you don’t have to help me.”
"huh…"
Honestly, he doesn't look okay at all. On the contrary, he makes me even more worried. What the hell is he? He just seems like the kind of person who makes people worry.
Garang raised his head. Looking to the side, he saw Taehyung walking in the same direction as him. Looking at his side, the first thing that caught his eye was his high and sharp nose, his subtly long eyelashes, and his jawline. Perhaps because it was illuminated by the sunset, it looked even more atmospheric.
But then I suddenly became curious. I don't know why I asked that question, but I knew it had popped out of my head without going through my brain.
“Hey, why are you wearing a hat?”
It was really a question that came out without going through the brain.

Hello, this is Myehwa!
First of all, thank you for putting it on the editor's pick🥰
I was surprised when I saw it too!
I recently had an exam so I had to stop writing for about a month.
It didn't work! I'm so sorry🥲
I think it'll be a slow ride until the exam is over...
I'll come running quickly after the test is over😎
Thank you to all the readers who always read😚
