The form of first love

__________________________________________
"Kids! I'm going to teach you math next class, so make sure you have your textbooks ready!"
In a second-year classroom at a high school in Seoul, Yeoju, who is the class president, delivered the notice she received from her teacher to her classmates.
“Hey. Kim Taehyung, wake up. Why are you sleeping all day? What are you doing at night?”
“Ah... why are you waking me up...”
"Hey, next math, wake up."
"note..."
“Ugh...”
Taehyung, who is in the same class as Yeoju and has been her classmate for a semester, is good at studying and is well-liked by the teachers, but unlike Yeoju, he sleeps during every class and has long since given up on studying, so his grades are at the bottom.
“Attention! Greetings!”
"hello"
“Yeah, yeah, is that guy sleeping again?”
“...Ha, really, Kim Taehyung”
Before I knew it, class had started and the teacher had entered the classroom, but Taehyung had fallen asleep again and was lying face down on the desk, breathing heavily.
“What kind of life do you want to live... Ugh, I don’t know. It’s just life. Open the book.”
Now the teacher seemed to have given up and started the class.
"goodbye"
As the bell rang to signal the end of class and the teacher left, Taehyung also woke up from his sleep at the sound of the bell.
“Hey, is class over already?”
“Already? You’ve been sleeping for 50 minutes.”
“Haam... do you have homework?”
“If you have it, will you bring it?”
"no…"
“Huh... Are you going to college?”
“Do I really have to go to college?”
“That’s not true, but… wouldn’t it be easier to get a job after graduating from college and do what you want more easily after graduating from college?”
“So are you going to college?”
“Of course.”
"where?"
“Yeonhwadae”
"softening...?"
"Yeah, I'll go there."
“Hey, you have to study really hard there.”
“That’s why I’m studying hard now.”
"ah..."
“Hey, what are you always fiddling with?”
“This…this? Why this?”
“I just thought it would mean something... not in a bad way.”
"...what"
"I was curious, so I glanced at it a few times... but it always seemed similar yet different. It's interesting."
“...”
"Hey, next physical education class is coming up. Let's go quickly."
"Okay, let's go."
❣️
(Taehyung's point of view)
My class president, Bae Yeo-ju, who became my partner from the beginning of the second semester until the end of the year, was something special. Why did she study so hard? Why did she run so hard?
At the beginning of the second semester, I was really annoyed and bothered by her constantly waking me up. But now, I'm not like that. On the contrary, I feel like I'm being taken care of by my friend, Yeoju. And today, during break, although our conversation was brief, my first goal emerged from Yeoju's conversation. That was my hobby, drawing. Ever since I was little, I'd enjoyed drawing my own patterns, and whenever I had free time, I'd draw in my notebook. And that girl was the first to show interest in my drawings. So I made up my mind. When I turned 20, I would enroll in the design department at Yeonhwa University, the same school as Yeoju.
From then on, I studied hard. People around me were often surprised by my transformation, but my friend Yeoju was different. She encouraged me to study hard. She promised me that if I got into college, she'd grant my wish. And so, my grades steadily rose, and I was finally accepted into the design department at Yeonhwa University, the same school as her.
(3rd person point of view)
20## Yeonhwa University entrance ceremony
"Next, we will take the freshman oath. The oath-taker is Bae Yeo-ju, a Fashion Design student from the class of 20##, who was the top student overall."
"Oath! As students of Yeonhwa University..."
On the day of the entrance ceremony, Yeoju, who entered the school as the top student in her class, went up to the stage and read the oath of office.
“That’s cool, Bae Yeo-ju.”
Taehyung, who attended the entrance ceremony, smiled happily as he watched Yeoju read the oath on stage.
“Hey, Bae Yeo-ju is so cool~”
"Hey! Kim Taehyung, why didn't you tell me you got accepted here too? Do you know how surprised I was when I heard about it a while ago?"
“It’s just... my feeling.”
“But you’re also poisonous… How did you graduate from the bottom of the school to the top?”
“I’m the kind of person who does what I have to do.”
“Why didn’t you do it sooner?”
“Because I didn’t have a goal before.”
“But it’s fortunate that I know someone at school.”
After the entrance ceremony, Yeoju and Taehyung walked around the school and looked around.
“That’s good, though. You came to school using your strengths.”
“Yeah, that’s right...”
“I have to study hard in class first.”
"Yes, congratulations on your admission, Bae Yeo-ju."
“You too, Kim Taehyung”
June club dinner
“Cheers!”
“Hey, drink the water slowly.”
“I know too”
The two joined the school's clothing and industrial club, and it was the club's first dinner.
“Hey, heroine? Can you come out here for a moment?”
"Your brother"
While Yeo-ju and Tae-hyung were drinking and eating snacks at the same table and talking, a fashion model and a third-year student who were seniors in the same club called Yeo-ju out.
“I’m going out for a bit.”
“Uh..yeah...”
The female lead, who followed her senior out of the restaurant, did not come back in for 20 minutes with her senior.
“Why isn’t this kid coming...”
Taehyung, who kept checking his watch, went out of the restaurant to look for Yeoju.
“Please...please...”
“Oh, what is it, seriously lol”
“No, I said it’s true, so why don’t you believe me...”
“Lady, close your eyes for a moment.”
"why..."
"Your eyelashes are growing, my lady."
“Ah... what is it...”
“...”
Taehyung, who went out to find Yeoju, found a convenience store right across the street and two people chatting happily on a bench next to it, and just stood there quietly.
(Taehyung's point of view)
I couldn't help but pause when I saw my club senior sitting next to him.
I always thought that the drink he drank when he drank was something only I knew about, but when the senior handed the drink to the female lead, I felt a strange sense of loss.
The atmosphere between the two of them was like that of a couple, and the two of them laughing and talking looked like a very pretty couple.
In that moment, a pang of realization struck me: "I've been in love. And for a very long time."
After that, I felt like I wouldn't have the courage to face that friend again, so I ran away and enlisted in the army, and my first love became a sharp needle that pricked my heart.
❣️
10 years later
"Team Leader Bae! You know what? We have a new designer coming in today to take charge of this project."
“Oh, it’s already today? I forgot.”
“I heard the designer is really handsome.”
“Really? I wonder...”
“And we have a meeting in 10 minutes, so let’s go together now, Team Leader.”
“Okay, you’ve gathered all the proposal documents and reference materials, right?”
“Of course~”
The main conference room, where members of each department and business associates gather. Today is the day Yeoju's presentation takes place.
"Hello. I'm Bae Yeo-ju, the design team leader. To commemorate our 20th anniversary..."
After the heroine's presentation, which lasted about 10 minutes,
“I heard the designer has arrived.”
The female protagonist couldn't close her mouth when she saw the designer opening the conference room door and coming in.
"Hello. I'm V, the designer working on this project. I apologize for being late to our first meeting."
(Taehyung's point of view)
It was a great opportunity for me to collaborate with a fashion company.
And when I returned to school after my military service, I heard that Yeoju had dropped out of school because she had found early employment. Ten years later, we met as a designer and an employee working together at the same company.
"I already received the design team's plan and am familiar with it, so don't worry. Team Leader Bae Yeo-ju, you're going to be a fly in the ointment."
“...Huh? Oh... yes.”
"The event is pretty good. I think it's not bad to continue like this. I'll be working in the design team for the duration of the project, so please take good care of me. Team Leader Bae Yeo-ju."
Taehyung extended his hand to Yeoju to shake her hand, but Yeoju was surprised and just looked at his hand.
“...That team leader...?”
“Ah... yes, please take care of me too.”
The woman who was still standing was called by an employee from the same department, so she shook Taehyung's hand.
After the meeting, afternoon work hours
The woman had an outside job, so she cleaned up her desk and left the office.
“Ugh... Why am I so tired today... But I have to get off work right away...”
“Where are you going?”
“Oh my, that’s surprising”
“Oh.. I was so surprised, sorry.”
It was Taehyung who called out to the female lead as she passed through the company lobby.
“Ah.. I have business trips...”
"Shall I take you? I have to go to a business meeting, too."
“...if you don’t mind”
"Okay, follow me."
Yeo-ju meets Tae-hyung by chance and ends up accompanying him to a business meeting.
“...”
“...”
Only silence lingered inside Taehyung's car with the two people in it.
“Long time no see... Kim Taehyung.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while.”
"Why did you enlist without saying anything? I was a little disappointed."
"sorry"
“...”
"So, how have you been? Did you get a haircut? It suits you."
“Ah.. I cut it a while ago. I just wanted to cut it.”
The 30-year-old female protagonist, who had been in her 20s for 10 years, had short hair.
“I didn’t know you became a designer. I didn’t know anything about you after you enlisted.”
“Well, when I returned to school, you weren’t there because you had a job, and the kids in my grade were a little younger than me, so I went quietly.”
“Actually, I did think of you when I first received the design draft via email.”
"I...?"
“Yeah, I remember seeing it often when I was in school.”
“Ah...huh”
The two people were awkwardly talking in the car as it drove along, but they didn't stop talking.
"We've arrived. Let's get off."
"Yeah, thanks."
“Don’t mention it”
Taehyung's car stopped in the parking lot of a building, and Yeoju and Taehyung each entered the building holding their own documents.
“Hello, this is Team Leader Bae Yeo-ju.”
“Ah! Welcome. The person next to you is...”
"Oh, I'm late in greeting you. This is Designer V. I should have come in person to send you the design, but I've been busy."
“No, it’s not”
“I came to see fabric samples. Do you have any?”
“Yes, of course. Follow me.”
“Hmm... since it’s fall/winter clothing, this material isn’t bad either.”
“But laundry would be a bit difficult.”
Yeoju and Taehyung touched the fabric of the clothing made with Taehyung's design, and Yeoju took notes of the fabric's characteristics on her phone.
“Team Leader, did you happen to get the clothing work instructions?”
"Our team of designers is currently working on the design. It should be completed by next week... The design meeting ends on Wednesday, so I'll send it to you that day."
"all right"
"Well, I think that's about it. I'll be going now."
Taehyung, who was standing behind Yeoju and observing the fabric, looked at Yeoju.
The female protagonist, who works professionally, smiled faintly as she remembered the female protagonist from her school days when she helped her teacher with all the class work.
“Lady,”
"huh?"
“Do you have plans for the evening?”
“Promise..? Why not?”
“It’s fate that we met like this, so do you want to have dinner together?”
“Hmm... okay, good.”
“Get on quickly so I can buy it.”
"thank you..."
After leaving the business, the two people got back into Taehyung's car and drove for a few minutes until they arrived at a fancy-looking restaurant.
“Hey... Taehyung... what’s going on here?”
“Let’s go in, why are you so surprised?”
“It’s going to be really expensive here. Let’s go somewhere else.”
"Hey, I'm living here. It's okay, let's go quickly."
“Uh...uh”
From the entrance, they passed through a hallway adorned with chandeliers and reached the front desk, where a restaurant employee guided them.
“Here’s the menu. Please take your time and look at it before you call.”
“Hey, what do you want to eat?”
“Uh... I don’t know what’s going on.”
“Then should I order what I eat?”
"...huh"
"Okay, I'll order."
“Yes, I can help you order.”
“Two wood-grilled steaks and a drink... What do you want to eat, Yeoju?”
“Red...wine”
“Yes, please give me red wine and non-alcoholic wine.”
“Yes, I will prepare it for you.”
As Taehyung skillfully ordered food and Yeoju looked around the restaurant, she spoke to Taehyung.
“You’re really well known for your designs. You’re famous, aren’t you?”
“Ah... no”
“I searched after the meeting and found quite a few products made with your design.”
“I made that when I graduated from college.”
“Was it your graduation project?”
“Yeah, during my senior year, I had a place where I made and sold items of my own design, and they sold pretty well... Oh, that’s embarrassing.”
“Oh.. so cool”
“This is my first time collaborating with a company as a designer.”
"really?"
"Actually, I turned them all down. It's true that I received requests to collaborate after seeing my graduation project, but I turned them all down because I was not confident."
"Why? You're good at everything."
“Did I do that?”
“...”
“But this time it was a little different.”
"why?"
“I know you’re on this company’s design team.”
“Me...? Because of me?”
“Actually, I relied on you a lot when I was in high school, with everything from studying to everything...”
“...”
“I think we can do well on this project together.”
“...”
“I’m… thirsty.”
"The food is here. Enjoy your meal."
Taehyung's one word that came in suddenly created an awkward atmosphere between the two of them, and Yeoju's face turned red, and Taehyung's ears turned red.
“...Enjoy your meal... Yeoju.”
“Yeah... thanks.”
The two men did not exchange any words until the meal was over.
After dinner, Taehyung walked Yeoju to the front of the house.
Even then, there was no special conversation between the two.
“You ate well, Taehyung. Next time, I’ll buy you food..”
“Really? Are we making dinner plans again?”
"huh...?"
“Oh, just kidding. And your phone number is still the same?”
"huh"
"I'll contact you when I get home."
"Okay, I got it."
“See you at work tomorrow, Yeoju.”
"Yeah, bye."
The female lead watched Taehyung's car until it was out of sight and then went into the house.
The female protagonist's heart was pounding for Taehyung.
❣️
The next day, Yeoju went to work and opened her work mailbox as soon as she sat down.
“Huh? The instructions are all complete?”
“Oh, Team Leader, you’re here. I sent it yesterday. Please confirm it, Team Leader.”
"Thank you for your hard work. If there's anything you need to correct, I'll send it to you via text message."
“Yes, I understand, Team Leader!”
"Yes, I'll take care of it."
"good morning!"
“Hello, designer.”
“Hello, everyone. Enjoy this. I bought it on my way to work.”
“Wow, I’ll eat well, designer.”
"you're welcome"
Taehyung, who will be working in the design team department from today until the end of the project, bought iced Americano for the department employees on his way to work this morning.
"Team Leader! Have some coffee! The designer brought it."
“Oh.. Really?”
“Oh, that’s right, heroine!”
"uh?"
“This is yours. You can’t drink coffee, do you still like hot chocolate?”
“Yeah... thanks.”
Taehyung, who came to Yeoju's seat, gave Yeoju, who couldn't drink coffee, hot chocolate in a small voice.
"Are you still a baby? Baby, is this tasty? It's so sweet."
“Hey... this is the company. All the employees are here.”
“Oh, right. Then, good luck today, Yeoju.”
“...”
Taehyung stroked Yeoju's hair discreetly, then went to his desk and put down his bag.
As Taehyung stroked her hair, Yeoju felt as if she had gone back to her high school days.
“Team Leader! Let’s go have lunch together!”
“Huh? It’s already lunchtime. Sorry. I’m a little behind on work, but I’m fine.”
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
“It’s okay. I ate a big breakfast this morning, so I’m not hungry.”
“Then, would you like to go with me, designer?”
“Oh... I have to go to my studio too, sorry.”
“No, no, then we’ll eat quickly and come back.”
“Eat slowly and come back after chatting for a bit.”
“No, Team Leader, we’ll be back.”
“Have a nice day~”
The design team members leave for lunch at the cafeteria.
“I’ll go to the studio too.”
"Okay, I'll be back."
“Are you really not going to eat lunch?”
“I heard earlier that work has piled up.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard, I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, I’ll be back soon. Lunch time is two hours.”
"huh"
After Taehyung left, the only thing that could be heard in the department was Yeoju's typing.
30 minutes later
Gulp_
The sound of Yeoju's belly clock ticking could be heard in the department where no one was present.
"Ah... what? I'm hungry. Is there any bread left in the break room? I don't have time."
“Hey, let’s eat!”
"What's wrong, Kim Taehyung? You said you were going to the studio."
“I went to the studio and bought us lunch.”
“I told you not to eat it.”
"Don't you remember when you lied in high school about not needing to eat because you ate so much breakfast, and I caught you right away? Eat! Hurry up! I know you're hungry."
“Oh, it’s really a ghost.”
"I can't lie"
“It’s pointless to be quick-witted.”
“I bought you your favorite sushi. Eat it and then go to work.”
“Oh~ This looks delicious”
“Is there that much work?”
“Yeah, because you’re so famous.”
“What am I famous for?”
“Wow, what unlucky”
“But what does being famous have to do with my job?”
"I'm looking for your graduation project. Even if this is our first collaboration, it shouldn't have any parts that are the same as your previous work."
“Isn’t this no different from what I did?”
“Ugh... I don’t know either. I have to write it all down in the report.”
“It must be hard.”
“What… it’s my job, what can I do?”
“Hey lady, just sleep.”
"why?"
“Don’t move....okay...”
Taehyung, who was eating while talking to Yeoju, leaned in to brush some dust off her hair. Yeoju blushed at the scent of Taehyung's body that suddenly entered her.
"...what"
“I think it came from the fabric sample earlier.”
“Hmm... I see.”
"Are you done eating? Let's clean up quickly so everyone can come in."
“Okay”
The two people, who had already finished eating the food in the plastic container, ventilated the room, threw away the trash, and cleaned the surroundings.
“Huh? The designer is here?”
“Did you enjoy the meal?”
“The weather was nice today, so I went to the cafe in front. This is grapefruit ade, which is our team leader’s favorite!”
"Wow! Thank you! As expected from Manager Lee... I'll enjoy the meal."
“No, it’s not that, Team Leader~”
“And I sent you a text message with the revised information. Since the meeting is this Wednesday, can you send it to me by tomorrow?”
“Um... yes, it is possible.”
“Yes, thank you.”
As lunchtime ended and the afternoon shift began, Yeoju was bombarded with phone calls.
"Yes, this is Bae Yeo-ju, the design team leader. Yes, I understand our costume work instructions are due by the Wednesday meeting. Oh...then I'll connect you to our manager. Please speak with him and then call back. Yes, thank you."
The woman sighed, put down the receiver, and looked at the company notice email again.
“It’s Wednesday... but why did you say Tuesday? Seriously, why are you like this...”
“Team Leader, who are you? Are you the production team leader again?”
“Ha... You keep urging me. It’s due Wednesday, but you keep asking me to hurry.”
"Why do you keep urging me? It's not like they're making the instructions themselves."
"That's what I'm saying."
"I'll try to do it quickly for now. Please let me know when the manager contacts you, Team Leader."
“Thank you, Manager Lee.”
“...”
Taehyung looked at Yeoju, who had been looking at the monitor with a frown on her face since earlier.
“Haa... I’ll go to the production team.”
"Team Leader! I haven't even heard from the manager yet."
“This time feels a little different... I’ll be back soon.”
“Yes... Have a nice day... Oh my.”
“I... have a question for you, Manager Lee.”
"Yes, go ahead."
“What kind of person is the production team leader...”
“It’s literally production, so there’s a fuss about having to make the final version...”
"ah..."
"I know our company's production team is heavily involved with other factories, but this is just too much. We just have to submit it on time... The deadline is already set, so why are you rushing us so much?"
“I heard it too, until Wednesday.”
"I'm worried. Last time, I was completely swearing at. You were urging me to do my job, and the team leader was having a hard time."
“...I need to go to the bathroom for a bit.”
“Okay, have a good day~ Oh my, I’m worried about our team leader.”
❣️
“How many times do I have to say this! We are the ones who make it in the end!”
“...”
“If you send us the design quickly, we can manufacture it.”
“I told you last time when you came with the manager, I told you it would be difficult, so I sent you a design sketch, didn’t I?”
“Ha... Seriously, even if I keep talking, I’m back to square one. I thought you’d be smart since you’re the youngest team leader in our company, but is it really that hard to apologize?”
“...”
“Oh, and that’s why young people these days are the problem.”
“Are you the production team leader?”
“Who is it?”
“I’m Designer V. I’m the designer in charge of this project.”
“Oh my, hello. What brings you here...”
“I came here to take Team Leader Bae Yeo-ju with me.”
“Oh, Team Leader Bae Yeo-ju has something to talk to me about...”
“I know everything, so I’m taking you with me.”
"...yes?"
"taehyoung kim..."
"I know I'll be working here for a while. The deadline is Wednesday."
“But, that’s why”
“Each department has its own set time, so why are you taking up that time to do your work? You’re not a child.”
“What?”
“If you’re short on time, you can just ask the production team to give you more time. Why are you taking away their time?”
“Tae..Taehyung, stop.”
"If it's not enough, increase it. Don't hire useless people. Team Leader Bae Yeo-ju, you're going to be stressed."
“Ah... what...”
“Let’s go, Team Leader.”
Yeo-ju, who was led into the employee break room by Tae-hyung's hand, sat quietly without doing anything.
“Hey, drink this.”
"...thank you"
"It'll be okay now. I told everything, even the production manager."
“...”
“So don’t worry anymore.”
The female protagonist just fiddled with the paper cup Taehyung had handed her.
“Why did you do that?”
"...uh?"
“No, I’m afraid I’ll look bad to the production team leader.”
"You? I told you, so stop worrying."
“No... not me, you”
“I won’t be coming here after the project is finished...”
“Ha... Lady, are you really oblivious? Or are you just pretending not to know?”
"...uh?"
“Don’t you know that?”
"what?"
“I...like you”
"...uh?"
“It’s been over 10 years since I liked you.”
“...”
“I guess you didn’t know… I’m a little disappointed haha”
“Really...?”
“I thought I was being too harsh, so that’s why.”
“...”
"Surprised? Sorry. Just calm down here and come back. I'll make sure to tell the members."
"huh..."
"I'll go"
Taehyung lightly patted Yeoju's head and left the break room.
Not long after Taehyung arrived at the department, Yeoju arrived and took her seat.
“Team leader, would you like something sweet?”
"Thank you. Chocolate? It looks delicious."
So I worked in the afternoon and it was 6 o'clock, time to leave work.
"Team Leader! I sent the instructions. Then I'll leave work."
“Bye! See you tomorrow~”
About 10 members left, leaving only Yeoju and Taehyung in the department.
“I... Taehyung”
"huh?"
"Want to eat dinner together? Dinner. I have something to say tonight."
"...okay"
“Let’s go, I’m done with work now.”
"Yeah"
❣️
Yeoju rode in the passenger seat of Taehyung's car like on Friday.
"Where are you going? I need to use the navigation."
"Remember our high school? Let's go there."
“There?”
"Let's go to the snack bar we used to go to. I want to eat there again after a long time."
“I wonder if it’s still there… Okay, let’s go.”
Taehyung's car started driving smoothly and soon stopped in the parking lot in front of the high school that Yeoju and Taehyung attended.
“Huh? She’s over there, Yeoju. She’s still there.”
“Wow... awesome”
“Let’s go quickly, Yeoju.”
"huh"
Yeoju and Taehyung entered the snack bar together.
The snack bar I used to frequent after school when I was in high school still looked the same as before, even after 10 years.
“Welcome... Oh my, I’ve seen you somewhere before. Who are you...”
“Hello, ma’am, this is Yeoju.”
“Oh my, oh my, heroine? Then is that Taehyung next to you?”
“Yes, that’s right, ma’am, it’s Taehyung.”
“Oh my gosh, it’s been a while. You’re so handsome!”
“Ma’am, do you remember what we always ate?”
“Then of course, I’ll bring you some tteokbokki and sundae. Just sit there.”
“Thank you, ma’am.”
The female protagonist sat at a table in a snack shop and looked around the shop.
“Nothing has really changed... It’s amazing.”
“The price is the same as when I was in school.”
“Okay guys, the tteokbokki is here~”
“I will eat well, ma’am.”
“How are you, heroine?”
“It tastes the same, you try it too.”
“Wow, that’s right.”
“Hey guys, is it delicious?”
“Yes! It’s delicious, ma’am.”
“Eww, you’re the same as when you were little, it’s all over your mouth.”
“Oh.. I see”
“Is it delicious?”
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
“What are Yeoju and Taehyung doing these days?”
“I got a job at a clothing company. I’m a team leader.”
“Oh my, you were good at studying even when you were young, and now you’re a team leader.”
“Hey... I’m thirty too.”
“You’re the youngest among the team leaders at this company, and I’m a designer.”
“What designer?”
“I’m a person who puts my own designs on things like clothes and bags.”
“Wow, both Yeoju and Taehyung succeeded.”
While Yeo-ju and Tae-hyung were eating tteokbokki, the owner of the snack bar sat at the table where Yeo-ju and Tae-hyung were sitting and talked with them.
“Thank you for the meal, ma’am~”
“Please pay for us! I decided to buy it, right?”
“Yeah, I ate well.”
"Oh my! What are you paying me? It's been ten years since we last met. Just go away today. What are you paying me?"
"Oh, really, ma'am! We paid for it when we were students, too. Now we both have jobs, so please hurry and pay."
“It’s okay.”
“Today is my day, hurry up and do it or I will!”
“No, no, I’ll do it. Seriously, you can just go.”
“We’ll come again next time, ma’am.”
“Okay, Taehyung, come with Yeoju then too.”
"Of course, I'll come too. I missed you, ma'am."
"I missed you too, our heroine. You should go now. You're going to work tomorrow, aren't you?"
“Okay, I’ll go.”
“I’ll go too, ma’am.”
“Yeah, Taehyung, I missed you too.”
“Yes, me too.”
“Bye, see you next time.”
“Yes! I’ll go, ma’am!!!”
“Goodbye”
“Okay, go in carefully.”
Even as Yeoju and Taehyung were heading to the parking lot to get into their car, the woman came out to greet them.
He watched the car that was leaving until the car with the two people in it started moving and the car that was returning was no longer visible.
“Wow, ma’am, it’s been a while.”
“Yeah, you were really excited, right?”
“Yeah, it’s exactly the same. It’s really amazing.”
“It was delicious, just like before.”
"That's why"
“Let’s come back again after work.”
"Yeah, okay, good."
“Can I just go home?”
"huh"
While riding in the car on the way home like before, Yeoju's face turned red as she remembered Taehyung's confession from earlier that afternoon.
"You're here, heroine."
“Yeah..thank you.”
“Go quickly, you’ll be tired.”
“That..Taehyung”
"huh?"
“You know what you said earlier...that...that”
“...You like it?”
“...Yeah, that one”
“...”
“Honestly, I don’t have any feelings either… No.”
“I see, I just told you how I felt... I waited for 10 years.”
“...”
“Sorry, I’m busy, but I’m just thinking about it more.”
“No, it’s okay. I’ll go in. See you at work tomorrow.”
"Yeah, bye, Yeoju. Did you have a good dinner?"
"hi"
As the female lead got out of the car and went into the house, Taehyung sighed and put his head on the steering wheel.
“Gam Tae-hyung, you punk... Why are you telling that to someone who already thinks a lot... Ah, it’s really your mouth that’s the problem, your mouth... Haa...”
❣️
The next day, Yeoju went to work and opened her work mailbox as usual.
“...The instructions are complete.”
The heroine smiled faintly as she looked at the work instructions sent to her email file.
“Good morning~”
“Yes, hello…”
Yeo-ju, who met eyes with Tae-hyung on his way to work, paused for a moment as she remembered yesterday.
“Team Leader Bae, please approve this.”
“Okay, I understand. Where is the seal...?”
“Here… I fell.”
“Oh, thank you, I finished it here, Manager Kim.”
"thank you"
“Team leader over there...”
“Why, sir?”
“I just got a call from the production team. They want to meet with me.”
"ah..."
“Are you okay?”
“Okay, I’ll be back soon.”
“You said something like that yesterday, why are you acting like that?”
“...It’s okay, sir. I’ll be back soon.”
“Have a nice trip.”
The female protagonist took a deep breath and left the department.
“...Where?”
“Ah... to the production team.”
“Why the production team?”
“The production manager needs to see me.”
“...Why that gentleman again”
“I don’t know, I just wanted to show my face quickly.”
“Are you okay?”
"Okay, then I'll be back soon."
“Shall we go together?”
“No, it’s okay, you take care of business.”
"Okay, I'll be back."
Taehyung, who was returning from the bathroom, found Yeoju with a bad expression on her face.
He watched Yeo-ju, who was heading to the production team, until her heavy-looking back disappeared, as if he was worried.
“I’m Team Leader Bae Yeo-ju.”
“Oh, you’re here?”
“Why did you call me?”
“Oh, I was going to apologize.”
"yes?"
“I’m sorry about yesterday.”
“...”
"I was short-sighted. If we were lacking, we could have talked to our manager and extended the period."
“Oh, yes.”
"Then go. Sorry."
“Thank you. I’ll go.”
Although Yeo-ju received an apology from the production team leader for yesterday's incident, the lump in her heart still hasn't been resolved.
That evening
“Are you here...”
“Hey Kim Taehyung, what’s going on? You busy guy, why are you calling me?”
“Sit down... I have something to tell you.”
“What is it? What are you worried about?”
"under..."
“Hey you little shit, I just got here. It hasn’t even been a minute. Drink slowly.”
“Whew...”
“Why aren’t things going well?”
After work, Taehyung felt depressed and decided to call a friend from his senior year of high school to have a drink with him.
“Hey, I’m not in my right mind.”
“Why, you saw me working all night... I knew it, you punk.”
“Not that... Yeoju...”
“Yeoju? Your friend Bae Yeoju? Why her?”
"Working together brought back the romantic memories of my teenage years."
“Why... did you confess?”
"It's a bit vague to call it a confession... I think I confused his mind."
“Oh, it came straight out of your mouth without touching your head?”
"huh..."
“What did he say?”
“He also... likes me, but he’s still like this.”
"Not yet, not yet, what does that mean?"
“I don’t know either.”
“Did you ask him out?”
“...I didn't ask you to date me.”
“I think that guy is a bit hasty. He skipped over his thoughts and just said it straight out of his mouth. Ugh, I guess those two aren’t best friends.”
“...”
“I can’t tell you anything about your love life, but… do whatever you want.”
“I want to say I like you.”
"Then do that."
“But what if the female lead isn’t like that?”
“What the hell are you going to do? All couples are going to fail, for real.”
Meanwhile, Yeoju
"Ah! It's Minji!"
“Hey, you don’t look well today. What’s wrong?”
“No... I just wanted to ask you some advice.”
"What's bothering you? Tell me, quickly."
Yeoju also called her best friend over for drinks after work with Taehyung.
“I told you I met Kim Taehyung a while ago.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“But... I had dinner with him a while ago and he took me home.”
"huh"
“But he confessed to me that he liked me.”
"Wow, really? Awesome!"
“But... I don’t know what to do.”
“What did you say?”
“I like it too”
"That's fine, you two would be perfect together."
“But... I said it because it’s not yet.”
"what?"
"Not yet"
“Hey...hey heroine...ha...”
“Oh...why...why...”
“Oh, then what did he say to you that made you want to date him?”
"no..."
“Oh my gosh, I’m going crazy. Seriously, Kim Taehyung, he’s in a relationship too… I don’t know much about him, but isn’t Kim Taehyung your first love too?”
“Yeah...what should I do?”
“Whatever you want to do, do whatever you want. I’m rooting for you.”
“Yeah... Okay.”
“Okay, that’s it, our heroine’s worries are over~”
“Yeah lol”
“It looks delicious. I’m hungry.”
“Minji, how are you and your boyfriend?”
“Oh... that guy? I don’t like him.”
“What? LOL”
“As expected, dating younger people isn’t my style.”
"Eww, really, Woominji"
“Hey, drink slowly. You have to go to work tomorrow.”
"...huh"
On the same day, at the same time, two people were struggling with the same worries.
“Hah... what should I do?”
❣️
On Wednesday, the day of the production team's briefing, Yeoju headed to the conference room with the design instructions.
“Hello, Yeoju. Are you going to the meeting?”
“Yeah, hello Taehyung, are you participating this time too?”
“Yeah, but are you tired today? What happened yesterday?”
“I met Minji yesterday and had a drink for the first time in a while...”
"Minji? Woominji? Long time no see."
“...Let’s go quickly, we’ll be late.”
“Let’s go, I’ll listen.”
"thank you"
"Our production team is considering a week from now to finalize the garment samples. After the garments are finished, we'll review the plans with the sales and sales management teams and then release them."
Not long after the meeting ended, it was 6 o'clock, the time to leave work.
“Hey Taehyung, do you want to come to my house today?”
"uh...?"
"Hey, my mom sent me some food a while ago. Do you want to go eat? You liked her cooking, didn't you?"
“...Okay, let’s go. I’ll give you a ride.”
"Okay, let's go."
Yeoju made a dinner appointment with Taehyung today as well.
But today, unlike other days, Yeoju has made up her mind.
“Excuse me~”
“Come in and sit on the sofa. I’ll have it ready in a minute.”
“No, no, I’ll help you. What can I help you with?”
“Yeah, no, I just need to heat it up. Oh, Taehyung, then serve me some rice.”
"Okay, give it to me."
“Where is the wave?”
“Uh... here you are, Yeoju.”
“Thank you”
“Why are you cutting the green onions?”
“You like the green onions in my mom’s bulgogi, right? I’m going to make some of that… Ah…!”
“Huh? Why, heroine...”
“I cut my hand.”
“Blood...blood”
"It's...okay, it's nothing."
"Again! When you got cut by a knife, what did I tell you to disinfect it? Come here and disinfect it. Do you have a first aid kit?"
“Yeah... here”
“Come here and I’ll do it for you.”
"No, I'll do it."
"Use it! I'll do it for you."
“...Yeah”
“I told you to disinfect it if you get cut by a knife, it’s metal.”
“Ah... Okay, stop nagging.”
“I was always a jerk, whether I was 19 or now.”
“No! Ah...ah.”
“Hoo... hoo... is it hot?”
"huh..."
The woman's face quickly turned red again as she watched Taehyung carefully holding her hand and disinfecting her wound.
“Okay, that’s it. Take off the bandage when you take a shower later. After you shower, apply ointment and put it back on.”
"huh..."
“I’m hungry because it smells like food.”
“That Taehyung”
“Huh? Why?”
“Does what you said to me last time still matter?”
“Huh? Then why is that?”
“That Taehyung”
“Yes, my lady.”
“Do you want to meet me?”
"...huh?"
“Let’s date”
“Hey lady”
“...Huh? Ugh.”
Taehyung hugged Yeoju tightly after hearing her confession.
“Thank you, lady.”
"...he"
“I thought about it a lot too. I wanted to date you.”
"really?"
“I was going to say something nice, but thank you for saying it first, heroine.”
“Thank you too, Taehyung, for accepting my heart.”
“I love you, Yeoju.”
“I love you too, Taehyung.”
The two hugged for a while and then went to the table to start eating.
“Hey, I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“Well... there’s a senior, a fashion model and a senior.”
“Ah... that senior? Why?”
“What was your relationship with that senior?”
"Ah... Actually, I only met that senior briefly, about three months? It was really just a short time."
"ah..."
“And that senior dropped out that year.”
"I see..."
“But... why are you asking that?”
“You didn’t know I liked you since we were students until I told you?”
“...Yeah, sorry.”
“Ugh, you have no clue.”
"...sorry"
“What are you sorry for? I’m dating you now.”
“Right? Haha”
“This is delicious”
“Would you like some more rice?”
"Yeah, just a little bit."
“Eat a lot, our Taehyung~”
“Oh, what the heck lol”
“I copied my mom.”
“Let’s go see each other next time. I miss you too.”
"Yeah, let's go together."
The two ate dinner at the table, chatting away.
Today, they are not friends but lovers, and today, the first love between the two has finally been fully realized.
It was made in the shape of a pretty, plump heart and took its place in the hearts of two people.
❣️
As time passed, the day of the product launch came.
“Wow... the model is killing it...”
“What kind of model is this?”
“He’s so damn handsome… Who is this?”
“Who is that? It’s our heroine’s boyfriend.”
“That’s right, it’s our Taehyung lol”
On the day the products for this event were revealed to the world, after work, Yeo-ju and Tae-hyung went to the company shopping mall to check out photos of the costumes.
Taehyung, who occasionally works as a model, took a photo of himself as a fitting model for this clothing and it became the representative photo of the shopping mall.
“I really felt this while working, but this bag is really pretty. I have to buy it.”
"What are you talking about? I'll buy it for you. I'm a designer, and I have one."
“Hey, what are you talking about? I’ll live, so don’t worry about it.”
"...tooth"
“Is our Taehyung upset?”
"no..."
“No, what’s wrong? Our Taehyung’s lips stick out like this.”
“...I don’t know”
“Oh no... I was going to kiss Taehyung.”
“...”
“Even like this? Even like this?”
“Oh really lol”
side_
“Oh my, our Taehyung is so kind.”
“I’m not a kid?”
“It’s cute, like a teddy bear.”
“No, I’m a cool and strong tiger.”
“I like cute people”
“...I’m a teddy bear”
“Are you going to be a teddy bear? LOL”
"Yeah, I'll do the female lead bear."
“Okay, I got it, you’re my teddy bear. Oh right, you’re going to work again, what’s this time?”
“This week’s theme is first love.”
“First love?”
“Yeah, want to take a look?”
“...Huh? This was when you were in high school.”
“That’s right, this is a doodle you did when you were in high school.”
“...Do you still remember that?”
“Then I liked you back then too.”
"really?"
"If you hadn't taken an interest in my art, I don't know what I would be doing with my life right now... You gave me a purpose."
“...”
“Thank you so much for making me who I am.”
“...”
“I love you, heroine.”
“Me too, Taehyung”
Just hearing the words "first love" makes my heart race. Everyone's memories of their first love are different, but it's literally the beginning of a first love, the first time in life when I felt the emotion of love.
For those of you reading this, what are your memories of your first love? Yeoju and Taehyung's first love was sometimes sweet and sometimes passionate.
