I wish it weren't you

I wish you weren't_02

"Yeonhwa~ Let's go to school." Taehyung knocked on the door, trembling. There was no answer. "Isn't your aunt Yeonhwa here?" "Huh?? That can't be... I woke up at 6 AM and Yeonhwa wasn't here. Come in." Squeak... Taehyung opened Yeonhwa's room on the second floor. As always, the desk, bed, and closet were neatly organized, just like Yeonhwa. As always, the morning sunlight shone into the room. Everything was the same as always. No.... Not everything. It seemed like it always was. When Yeonhwa opened the door, she was organizing her school uniform... It seemed like it always was. The window above the bed was open... but Yeonhwa wasn't there today. The round glasses that always made Yeonhwa look cute were on the desk. There was a small note next to it.
I'm leaving first. I left at 5:40, so don't say anything. Now, together. The word "together" won't be around for me, so this will be my daily routine, so you'd better get used to it. For you, I pretended to be happy even when I was sad, and I pretended to be strong even when I was in pain.
Taehyung's hands were shaking. "Huh... huh..." His breath caught in his throat. His aunt, whose timing was perfect, came into the room. "Yeonhwa isn't here???" "Aunt... Yeonhwa..." Taehyung told her everything he knew and ran out of the house. Yeonhwa's mother was collapsed on Yeonhwa's bed, crying. "What about Yeonhwa?" When Taehyung opened the door, Jungkook and Jimin were standing there. "She went to school first." They walked to school somberly. I wish it would rain, but the sky was so clear. The school atmosphere was so lively, as if ignoring them. "Sigh... It's so hard when everything changes in an instant..." As soon as the three of them reached the playground, a group of boys came running towards them. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." "What?" "Why didn't you tell me that Kim Yeonhwa is so pretty when she takes off her glasses???" "What???" The boys didn't hear such a thing anyway. Jimin was in the same class as Yeonhwa. The door to Class 1, Grade 1, opened. No one paid Jimin any attention. Of course, except for the foxes who were always by Jimin's side. "Jimin!!! Good morning!!!" Jimin would have smiled, but he didn't have the presence of mind to do so. Even though she wasn't visible, anyone would have known that Yeonhwa would be where the kids were gathered. The bell for first period rang. Only then did the kids return to their seats. Jimin quietly sat down next to Yeonhwa. It was truly different. Even he hadn't imagined Yeonhwa could be this pretty. Her nose was higher than he'd expected, and her eyes, while slightly slanted, were large enough, and clear even with her contact lenses. Even after a week, Jimin said he'd adjusted well. When it was almost time to leave school, Seokjin and Yoongi were waiting at the front gate. That's because today was the day the midterm rankings would come out. "Huh? Why are you here, hyung??" Jungkook asked. "Wow...you came to pick us up??? I'm touched...sigh" Taehyung said, putting on a show(?). "The hyungs are finally human!!!" Jimin said brightly, spreading his arms. "Have these kids lost their minds?? We're human, so we shouldn't have come to pick you up," Yoongi said. "Get lost, we came to pick Yeonhwa up..." Seokjin said. At that moment, Yeonhwa arrived. "Ah...what's going on??" Yeonhwa said. "Huh? You were the one who spoke first. Come on, come hang out with us," Seokjin said. "Um...it's true that you were the one who spoke first..." Yeonhwa glanced at the three people on her right. "Ah...they're not going. They're just arguing amongst themselves, so ignore them and let's just go, the three of us... let's go by car." After walking for about two minutes, Yoongi opened the car door for Seokjin. "Uh, thank you." It was the first time Yeonhwa had said thank you since she had been cold to her family for almost a month. But something felt stiff. Their hearts were touched.
