Ding—dong—daeng—
"I think that if we're together, we can overcome even the hardships that come with it. Isn't that the youth we're experiencing together?"
"Hey, let's go eat."
"I decided to eat with someone else lol
See you later"
"Okay, enjoy your meal."
After waving to Yeonjun as he headed to the cafeteria
I walked through the empty hallway to the broadcasting room on the first floor.
.
.
.
"Oh! Sister Yeoju! What's wrong??"
"Oh haha I just came to play haha
"Let's go eat quickly"
"yes!!"
After checking that all the broadcasting club members had left
I carefully closed the broadcasting room door.
"Chae Soo-bi~~"
"Yeojuyaang"
"You did well haha your comment was really touching"
"Hehehe, that's the phrase I wrote~"
"Haha, you did well. Are you hungry??"
"Ugh...a little?"
In Subin's arms, who ran to me and hugged me
He showed me the bread he had secretly brought with him, fumbling around.
"Oh, what is it???"
"I knew you wouldn't eat it because you missed the lunch line lol"
"Thank you, but you...?"
"You don't have to eat it lol"
Cut the bread in half
I tried to avoid Soobin who was trying to put it in my mouth.
I wandered around that small broadcasting room.
"..I said it's okay"
"What the heck~~"
"No, really, it's a gangster."
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
"I don't know, but it seems to be coming from the speaker?"
"Isn't that the voice of the female lead senior??"
"Who is that man???"
"Is this senior Choi Yeonjun??"
"Senior Yeonjun was standing in line for the cafeteria earlier??"
"What, who are you...?"
.
.
.
10 minutes before the start of the 5th period
I left the broadcasting room and quietly headed to the classroom.
As soon as I arrived at the classroom, the homeroom teacher
He dragged me to the teacher's office.
I sat for about 5 minutes
Subin also opened the door to the teachers' office and came in.
"Guys...is that you on the broadcast earlier?"
"...yes?"
"The broadcast was transmitted incorrectly earlier.
"Because your voices sound similar"
"...How much was transmitted...?"
"...About 5 seconds?"
"...."
I'm screwed...
Judging by Soobin's expression, he looks dazed.
...Oh, I had no intention of dating publicly.
Because Subin really hated receiving attention
I became even more worried.
"First of all, class will start soon, so Yeoju, go in.
Subin will stay for a while"
"yes"
I couldn't help but pout
I headed to the classroom alone.
When I opened the classroom door, the children who had been murmuring
Everyone turned their gaze towards me.
Pretend as if nothing happened as much as possible
I went back to my seat and sat down.
"Oh my, you should have been more careful."
"...What did you hear..?"
"Ugh... I heard you all snickering?
Anyone who hears it will know you and Choi Soo-b.."
Subin is even trying to say his name
The Fed's mouth was quickly shut.
...No one heard, right?
"Are you crazy?"
"...lol"
"Okay, what's next class?"
"math"
"Oh, man.."
On my forehead as I take out the textbook from the drawer
Cracking my fist
He makes a mockery that may be a real concern.
10 minutes before the end of the 5th period
Subin came in quietly through the back door.
You look very discouraged...
Are you very confused?
.
.
.
"Hey, let's go home."
"huh"
As usual, I walked down the street with the Fed.
Different from usual, different students
I couldn't help but feel the gaze.
Anyone could tell that voice was mine...
"Hey.. isn't that Yeonjun-sunbae's voice from earlier?"
"That's why...those two go together."
"But why are you two in the broadcasting room?
Senior Yeonjun isn't in the broadcasting club."
"Oh, I see..."
"Isn't that senior Choi Soo-bin? He's in the broadcasting club."
"Hey, is that your senior?
"Senior Subin is quiet, so there's no way he'd get along with Senior Yeoju."
"Oh, I see."
"I've never even seen those two talking."
Can you hear everything..?
But the man's voice is Subin
I guess it's fortunate that it's not specific
Subindo, whose house is in the same direction as mine
It seems like both of us heard it from behind.
"Anyway, don't those two look good together?"
"Senior Yeonjun and Senior Yeoju?"
"Hey... I can hear you, so speak quietly."
"Why~ Since it's true, they'll go together."
For a moment, I felt like I was hanging out with Yeonjun too much.
My body flinched for no reason.
I glanced at Subin and saw that Subin too
He seemed to be very concerned.
*****
"How long are you going to hide it?"
"I don't know... I hate public relationships so much
How do you explain it?"
"Ugh...
I don't want to be used by you guys, do I?"
"What use is this..."
"Quickly sort this out, somehow."
"..what do you mean"
"If you don't clean up, I'll just reveal it.
"You two are dating"
"Huh...are you crazy?"
"Who is crazy?
Telling me not to go out with you
Choi Soo-bin, who can't do anything?"
"what?"
"Ha... I'm tired too?
So, I told you to clean it up."
I'm so frustrated I think I'm going crazy.
At that time, at the end of the alley
I saw Subin coming.
"What are you organizing?"
He walked over to me with brisk strides and grabbed my hand.
"Ha... I'll go first."
So the Fed leaves
Only silence flowed through that quiet alley.
"...Subin"
"..."
"My hand hurts..."
Subin's hand is clenched with all its might
It just felt painful.
"...Sorry"
"...huh?"
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
"...I'm okay"
"..Really?"
"Yeah, okay, shall we go out and play for the first time in a while?"
"...yes"
.
.
.
Normally, I couldn't even walk with other kids because they might recognize me.
The two of them walked down the street holding hands.
"Hey, isn't that Choi Soo-bin?
"That's right~ What did I say?
I said that voice was Choi Soobin's, lol"
"Then why is Lee Yeo-ju hanging out with Choi Yeon-jun?"
"I don't know, is it the wind lol"
I tried to pass by pretending not to know
I felt Soobin's hand slipping out of my hand.
"...I'll go first."
"..Hey...hey!"
Leave me on the street
The two of them quickly walked back the way they came.
under...
.
.
.
"...Did you solve it well yesterday?"
"...no"
"...sigh"
"...Are we really going to break up?"
"...I didn't say anything. Do whatever you want."
"...I'm really frustrated..."
I was really tired and had to make up my mind to get things done.
Trying to ignore Soobin's gaze...
"..Yeojuya"
"..."
"I'm really sorry about yesterday..."
"it's okay"
There was absolutely no sign of our relationship getting any better.
Did something that had been building up explode?
Every time we finally meet in a continuous fight
Ignoring.
.
.
.
"Sister! Sister, is the broadcast on Wednesday?"
"Yeah, why??"
"No, I've been receiving too many requests for stories...
I think they'll just pull out the script on the day??"
"Oh.. really?? It's okay. How much is my champagne~"
"Sorry..ㅜ I'll try to do it as soon as possible!"
It's been about a week since I ignored it...
When we were still in the broadcasting room together doing broadcasting club activities,
I'm afraid of making eye contact and I feel like I can't breathe for no reason.
.
.
.
"Fighting, unnie!!"
"Yeah lol"
1 minute before lunch time
Enter the booth while all the broadcasting staff are watching.
I calmed my mind.
"This is the story you sent me.
I've been seeing someone I like for a few weeks now
I'm worried because we don't get along...
Nothing is eternal… because nothing is eternal,
Being together... together...
.
.
.
Hmm... the moment we spend together...
Wouldn’t it be more precious… I started to think that way.
..to the person you like before it's too late
"How about expressing your feelings?"
That's exactly what comes to mind.
Nothing lasts forever, so the moments we spend together are what makes us happy...
Was it good to be together or was it because I was frustrated?
A vague memory flashed through my mind.
"Sister! Did you stutter in the middle...?"
"..huh"
"Hey, it's okay~ It went well haha
I'll go eat some food!"
Oh, why do I feel so strange...
I left the broadcast booth with a full script.
Subin, who usually doesn't eat
He was still in the broadcasting room.
When our eyes met, I felt breathless
I quickly left the broadcasting room and headed to the classroom.
...It's you
.
.
.
Oh...it's raining
I tried to cover myself with a thin hood because of the unexpected rain shower.
I just didn't have the courage to go through that heavy rain.
Today, I cleaned the broadcasting room with you.
Choi Soo-bin was holding an umbrella and quietly watching the raindrops.
This theory was so frustrating that I thought I was going crazy.
Finally, I took one step at a time with my hood over my head.
The heavy raindrops briefly wet my head
I was blocked by someone.
"..write it"
"..."
I kept looking at the ground
He must have been frustrated because I was holding his hand and gave him an umbrella.
"I'll go"
"...what does that mean?"
"..."
"What does that story from earlier mean?"
You can't even look me in the eye
I'm going to turn around and go again.
Eventually, he twisted his wrist and threw the umbrella to the ground.
The umbrella that Subin gave me was turned inside out
Rolled around in vain in the rain.
"What does that mean...!"
So fast you can't even think about it
He approached Soobin and struck her chest.
Weakly at first,
But soon, as if his emotions had burst out, he slammed down hard.
Subin looks at my hair getting wet
He couldn't say anything and just took my punches.
My fist that hit Soobin's chest
I was shaking in the air and couldn't move.
"I... I really like you..."
It collapsed without even finishing the sentence and seemed like it would collapse without hesitation
He buried his forehead in Soobin's chest.
Only then did he give up, letting out a shallow breath
He wrapped his arms around my back.
I tried hard to push Soobin away.
The flowing rainwater
It fell along the jawline and nape of the neck.
Without having to look beyond the blurred vision caused by the rain
I could tell.
That we are finished
"Let's...stop this now."
