"Hey... I used to like you, but I don't like you anymore. What's the use of confessing now? I've already lost interest."
5 years ago
July 28th, hot summer. We're now 17 years old... We're in the middle of a fun summer vacation. Of course, I like you too...
I'm currently in love with you, Jeon Jungkook. When will you understand my feelings?
KakaoTalk-
"??Who is it.....Oh..! It's Jeongguk!"
-Hey, heroine! Let's play!><-
-Don't be late!! Come to my house at 3!!-
-Yeah, honey♥-
By the way, I'm currently seeing Jungkook... I might be mistaken... haha Jungkook and I are childhood friends who've known each other for 10 years, so we call each other honey and darling... Seriously... my heart is full of energy...ㅜ
Ding dong-
"Hey, Yeoju!! I'm out~"
"Yeah, wait~"
Clank-
"Haha... It's hot...."
"It's hot outside...? What should I do...? The air conditioner in my house is broken..."
"Um...it's okay! Hehe, as long as I can play with the heroine, that's fine!"
Then, there was an incident where we had a huge fight... no, something that left a deep scar on my heart.
"Hey...you...what can I do...how can you do this to me?? At least you shouldn't do this to me, right?"
"Lady... I'm sorry..."
That evening
-Hey. Jeon Jungkook, do you know what you did wrong to me?-
-Yeah...Yeoju...I have a girlfriend...I should have told you sooner...I'm sorry I couldn't tell you...-
-And.....I told you I wasn't your girlfriend...-
Actually, I'm not mad at you for hiding the fact that you have a girlfriend. I like you... That's why it was so hard and scary... Because I thought you might leave me.
I still like you...what should I do..? Should I really let you go..?
I approached Jeongguk as if nothing had happened and continued living our lives as usual.
3 years later
We grew up quickly and became college students. He...he broke up with his girlfriend when he was a senior in high school. Honestly, I was secretly happy when I heard they broke up. Because I still liked you...
"Tomorrow....Jungkook's...birthday, right..?? Ugh....I have to confess..!!"
I'm thinking of giving Jungkook a cardigan as a gift since the weather has gotten colder lately.
"Okay... Open it well and put it in..! Put the letter in too..!!"
On Jungkook's birthday
"Here! A birthday present!! Don't be surprised when you open it..ㅋㅋ You have to look at it when you're alone..!!"
"Haha, what is it? It's a bit big..? I'm curious... Haha, I'll look forward to it!"
to.Jungkook
Hello? Jungkook..!ㅋIt's Shin Yeoju! Our Jungkook's 20th birthday already...ㅋThere have been so many days since then....We laughed and smiled together and were so happy...We're already 20.....It feels like just yesterday we met when we were 7....So many thoughts come to mind......We even fought because you got a girlfriend....ㅋDo you know why I got mad about that..?? Actually.....I have something to confess....I've liked you for 10 years......You don't have to accept it if it's burdensome..!!I hope you do whatever you want....Will you go out with me..??
from. Yeoju
"What should I do...? I...the female lead.........."
"Sorry... There are probably a lot of guys better than me... I think it took courage to confess... We're better suited as childhood friends of 13 years."
"Yeah...we...are...more...suitable...it's okay..!! Even though I liked you for 10 years...I can forget you...."
Actually....I don't know if I can forget....If I could forget...wouldn't I have given up on you a long time ago..??
Jeon Jungkook, I hate you, I hate you... I'd rather treat you like a bad person... I'll... forget you...
"I... decided to go to America... hehe"
"Really..? Have a good trip..... Take care..... When will you be back..?
"About 3 years? I think it would be better to learn English..."
No, I'm not going there to learn English. To forget you, just to forget you. I'm going to America, where we won't be in contact for three years. No, I'm running away from you.
"Contact...isn't possible..??"
"Yeah... I think so... When you come to Korea in 3 years... I'll contact you..."
At first... it was so hard... my heart was breaking because I suddenly couldn't see you. No, I thought it would stop. So... for 5 months... I cried. I couldn't even eat. I think I lost 10kg. One day, I went to see an acquaintance.
"Hi!"
"Hello...."
"What are you worried about?"
"Yeah....." (Yes....) "I was a favorite person......but he did not accept my confession." (I had a favorite person, but he.....did not accept my confession.)
"I see.." (I see..)
"So it is so hard...."
"Do not worry too much"
"You have the right to love someone so you can always find someone else."
"Time will solve it."
"Do not think about him."
"Stay busy so you don't have time to think about him."
"I... could I do it?"
"Anyone can do it!"
"Thank you.."
"Ha.....Korea.......How long has it been since you came here....."
"Um... first... I need to contact my friends... and Jeon Jungkook... too."
I really thought I'd never forget Jeon Jungkook. But... I did. Thinking about him doesn't hurt at all. It feels like only good memories remain. It's such a relief. The feeling of ending a 10-year unrequited love... is indescribable.
KakaoTalk-
"Ha... I'm tired. Who are you..."
"...!!"
"jungkook jeon...."
-Hey, heroine...what are you doing now?-
It was Jeon Jungkook. I didn't want to meet him...so quickly...but I also have to say it clearly. I really wanted to tell you that I forgot about you and that we can be friends for life now.
-I just arrived in Korea. Want to meet up?-
-Okay, I'll go to the airport-
"What.... How did you know I was in Korea.."
15 minutes later
"Huh...gasp...he...hey lady....!!"
"Huh? Jeon Jungkook"
"What.... It used to be a squash court..."
"That was when I liked you, and now I'm over you. It doesn't hurt at all anymore, and I don't like you anymore. I think it's true that we're meant to be friends. So...n..."
"No...! I want to cancel the conversation about us being friends..."
"what...?"
It was embarrassing in itself. It was so hard....to forget you....I thought I was going to die....and you're going to take back the words that made me forget you??
"Hey, Jeon Jungkook, are you crazy? You said that and I forgot you, but how hard did it take to forget you and you're canceling it? Are you kidding me?"
"No, I... liked you... I liked you, not someone else. The reason my heart ached when I saw you was because I liked you. We... all... ㅅ..."
"No, I don't want to. I just forgot and you want to date me??"
"Lady... please... I... liked you... didn't I??"
"Hey... I used to like you, but I don't like you anymore. What's the use of confessing to Jae-wa? My heart has already left."
".........Sorry...for making things difficult..."
It's no use confessing now
It's a short story collection!! Please show lots of love!!
