The cold, sharp gazes directed at me were painful.
It made me so sad that you guys were looking at me like that.
"Hey guys, what's wrong? Who's here?"
Sitting on the hospital bed, the girl who had been cared for by the children noticed me and her expression hardened.
Then, he gasped in fear and caught the children's attention.
I knew I wouldn't be welcomed by anyone.
I also knew that if I came here, things would only get worse.
Still, I wanted to know.
"Why did you do that?"
"Hey, Kim Dan-ah! Get out of here right now! Can't you see that Yeoju is gasping for breath?!"
"Why did you lie?"
The heroine just held her breath and didn't respond to my words.
"Just tell me why, and I'll disappear just as you want, no, just as you want."
I thought we were friends.
All of you.
But I guess I was the only one who thought that.
I waited but she didn't answer my question.
Even though I kept my eyes on Yeoju and didn't take my eyes off her until she was forcibly dragged out of the hospital room by the other children, she never looked at me.
"...I believed you had a reason I could understand why you were doing this, but I guess not."
"Stop talking nonsense and get out. What decency do you have to come here?"
"Kim Taehyung, what on earth was I to you? Were we even a friend?"
"I'm the one who wants to ask. Are we really friends to you? Or just accessories you carry around?"
Seokjin's words pierced my heart like a knife.
Accessories? Was our relationship so distrustful that such words could tarnish it? How could you say such things to me?
"What did you just say?"
"Why, are you embarrassed because you got caught?"
"Cancel it, now!"
Seokjin paused for a moment at Dan-ah's serious expression and shout.
"I knew very well what you thought of me, that there was no faith, no trust, no friendship between us. I was mistaken. I knew very well that all the times I thought were precious were nothing to you."
I wiped away the tears flowing down my face from uncontrollable anger and turned around.
I think that day was the beginning.
I wanted to die so badly.
