Memory Manipulation Club: txt [Short Story]

Unrequited Love Only You Don't Know - Taehyun

(Taehyun's perspective)


Even the senior in charge of the library club doesn't ask me questions about problems he doesn't know.
Because he gives you the exact right answer in the most efficient way possible, with an annoyed look on his face.


A very annoying creature rolled into my world.


Right next to me, groaning for 10 minutes on a page of a workbook
Han Seo-woo, who can't get past it.


I let out a sigh and was about to snatch the mechanical pencil to draw the guidelines.


But then you suddenly shoved your phone screen right in front of my nose.


Ta-da! I met Subin sunbae at the cafe in front of the academy earlier.
"You taught me a problem I didn't know how to solve? And you even bought me a Dalgona latte!"


Whether it's a senior or Dalgona, while you call another man's name
The moment their eyes sparkled, I felt like something inside me snapped.


Did that guy write a good explanation?
It's obvious they wrote it in a roundabout way.


A sharp voice slipped out of my mouth without me realizing it.
Seeing you mumble, "They explained it really easily..." in a state of fluster...
My ill will just wouldn't go away.


It's completely inefficient. It takes 3 minutes if I show you.
Why are you asking that guy?


"No... you said you were busy..."


Because of your lips, grumbling as if you feel wronged
I almost blurted out my true feelings in a fit of anger.


Have I ever once told you I was busy?
I'm the only one whose heart races at the texts from you.


In the end, he roughly grabbed his pencil case and left first by himself.


But whether the heavens knew what was going on inside me or not, there was no warning
It was pouring rain.


It's obvious that a fool without an umbrella is going to run in the rain again.
I waited for you at the building entrance holding an umbrella.


A little while later, you come out, and next to you is
The Soobin senior you mentioned earlier opened an umbrella and placed it on your shoulder
I was raising my hand.


At that moment, all reason and everything else just flew away.


I strode over, snatched your wrist, and pulled you into my umbrella.


"Ugh..! You startled me! Kang-tyeon, did you have an umbrella?
But why are you pulling me so roughly...?


I don't want even a single drop of rain to wet your shoulder
I tilted the umbrella toward you.

And hiding my pounding heart, pretending to be calm like usual
I stared straight into your eyes.


Your shoulders are all wet, you idiot.


"No... um... I am grateful, but could you speak a little more kindly?"
Why are you being so mean to me?


"Ugh... Seriously, what is it about you that drives people crazy?"


"..uh?"


I'm so frustrated I could die. You're really doing this on purpose, aren't you?
You want me to die of frustration all by myself.


My one-year crush that everyone knows about except you,
Why don't you know?



I'm doing this because I like you, you idiot.
