She got up in a hurry and checked the alarm.
..I’m doomed.
—
Doh-a hurried out with toast in her mouth, then saw the calendar and flipped it over.
September 1
When she went outside, the weather was bright and sunny.
Just like usual. Loud, warm , and peaceful.
[Is it really just like usual?]
Doh-a glanced at the clock and sprinted to school.
—
"Wow... hahaha save, I almost got there late and would’ve had to clean."
She plopped into her seat and chatted with her friend.
[But wasn’t there someone in the front seat?]
"..But wasn’t the seat in front of mine empty to begin with?"
"You dummy ? hahaha In our class, the seat in front of yours was empty from the start.. hahaha"
"Oh, was it ? hahaha"
Doh-a laughed, thinking her memory must have been wrong.
—
After school, while organizing her locker, she found a photo in the corner.
"..What? ..When did I take this photo?"
On the left, Doh-a was smiling brightly, and on the right—
"..Was the photo printed wrong? Why is only this part white like the flash went off.."
But as if drawn to something, Doh-a stuffed the photo into her pocket.
"..The photo came out well."
[It’s a photo taken with Han Taesan,]
"..What, I keep hearing weird things."
Doh-a tapped her ear irritably.
—
When she got home and flopped onto the bed, she noticed a small doodle scribbled on the wallpaper.
"Whoa, what ?? haha .. Did I write this when I was little?"
As she looked closer,
Doh-a is a dummy
"..Han Taesan? ..The handwriting is terrible. ..Who was that again? ..Feels like I’ve heard it before."
She read the doodles along the side one by one.
"..What, why am I tearing up? I’m just curious right now."
Against her will, tears welled up in her eyes.
[Do you remember? He’s someone precious to both you and me.]
"..Who on earth is that.."
—
The next day,
Even after arriving at school, her uneasy feelings wouldn’t subside.
It felt like she’d forgotten something.
...
"Alright, quiet down. We have a transfer student. His name is Han Taesan, and since it’s the end of the semester, please help him settle in well."
The teacher led the boy standing beside the podium to the seat in front of Doh-a.
As soon as break time came, the two silently faced each other.
"..Hi, have we met somewhere before?"
And Taesan gave a faint smile.
"I’m not sure. We haven’t met, but it feels like we have,"
"You know, let’s not freeze or disappear in this life."
–End

There may be no love that won’t change over a long stretch of time,
but you’re finding someone who’ll wait for that love.

The side story was a little hard to understand, so I made a Q&A with things you might be curious about.
Q. Why did the calendar jump to the day after the asteroid impact?
A. The story can be split into two possibilities: first, Earth reset & restoration theory, and second, it was just a long dream.
But, ..I’ll leave it up to the readers..
Q. What is the line that appears in [ ]?
A. It’s like Doh-a’s memories from episode 2. Right now, in this side story, it’s just drifting around in Doh-a’s mind without being sorted out..
Q. After the asteroid impact, does Taesan remember everything from the beginning?
A. Yes, he remembers everything. Actually, Taesan also couldn’t remember at first, but,
The memories came back, so he transferred in to find Doh-a.. (romantic boiㅣ..)
That’s all. I hope everyone enjoys FanPlus life..!
