I was scribbling away at my lyrics in the classroom for the five minutes I was waiting for you.
I was waiting for you, sweating in the hot and humid classroom. I could hear cicadas and children's voices coming from the window. That commotion gave me a little pleasure. Then the classroom door opened and you returned.
"Hey Han Tae-san!! Let's go quickly. We'll be late."
An urgent voice woke me up and I looked at my watch.
The clock with only three minutes left made us anxious.
I slammed the door shut and ran out, down the hallway, not knowing if I had my shoes on or off. I barely managed to save myself.
โOh my gosh, what is this because of you, ladyโฆโ
โNo, the locker room was full, so I couldnโt help it.โ
The bell rings in the playground as it is thrown around like that,
Maybe it's because it's a summer day, but it's ringing in my ears.
Even after several years of physical education classes starting like that, I still can't get used to the playground on a summer day. They say we're playing dodgeball with another class, but since I have to do it with second-year seniors, I feel like I sweat more.
The more I exercised, the more my eyes would relax and my vision would blur. I wiped the sweat from my face, my vision blurred, and it was driving me crazy. Then I heard a sound.
โHan Tae-san, you did well! Fighting!!!!!!โ
Ha.. Even in this situation, I can still hear your cheering voice clearly
At that moment, when I look at you, only you are clearly visible to me. The surroundings are hazy, but you are the only one who appears clear and clean, as if you were wiped clean. Why is it like this? Did it get hot? Why can I see only him clearly?
The dodgeball game, which we played so hard, with your cheering, ended in victory for our class. As soon as it was over, I washed my face with water and ran straight to you. Cold water dripped down my face, and the sunlight was shining down on me, trying to dry it.
โHey, how was it?โ
โHey Han Tae-san, youโre really good lolโ
"right?!!"
"Yeah lol"
At your single compliment, my face, which had been flushed with color, felt vibrant again. Then, I felt my ears turn red again. I quickly hid it, afraid you would notice.
"Hey, we're done with last period now, so let's go quickly."
โYeahโฆโ
Led by your hand, I packed my bags and left the front door.
โWhere are you going to get ice cream?โ
"I don't know"
โLetโs go to your house. Itโs hot outside.โ
โ? Why is it my house and not yours?โ
โIโll buy you ice cream. Letโs go quickly. Itโs hot.โ
You, who crosses in front of me and gestures for me to come quickly
It makes me excited. I feel fortunate that it's summer.
(Tiring)
We went into an unmanned ice cream shop and looked around to see what we could find. I chose chocolate ice cream, and Yeoju bought strawberry ice cream. We paid and left.
"Now, guide me to your house~"
โWhy are you giving directions when you already know the way;;โ
"Just haha"
It's so annoying how you smile so indifferently. You make people's hearts hurt even more, and you smile like that, as if you know they can't hate you. It's annoying, but I still want to see you.
(Ti-ti-ti-ti-tiriring)
As we opened the door and came in, cool air greeted our bodies.
โMom, Iโm back. With Yeoju.โ
"You're here? It's been a while, Yeoju~^^"
โHello, Aunt!!!โ
He came into my room so naturally.
โDo you want to play in the living room?โ
"Your room is the most comfortable"
Oh man, I can't even hit him once...
The silence that broke after just biting into the ice cream.
โLetโs listen to some music after a long time-!!โ
โSpeak softly..;โ
"Okay, okay, turn it on quickly."
A song with my voice flowing out of the room
We listened quietly. You, to be exact.
You knew the lyrics and were humming along
I spent my time working on other songs.
After some time, I heard your voice calling me from behind.
โHantaesaan~โ
โWhy are you callingโฆ.โ
When I turned around, your face, about 5cm away from mine, was right in front of mine. My face instantly turned red.
You took a step back in surprise, as if you didn't know we would be this close.
โHey..what can I do when people are so careless?โ
I looked at you and said, clutching my startled heart.
โI didnโt know it would be this close.โ
Your face turned red, as if you were surprised too.
Seeing you like that, the thought that you were cute kept coming to my mind.
"cuteโฆ.."
โWh,,,what?โ
Oh, I made a mistake. I spoke too loudly.
What should I do? Even though we've been in love for over 10 years, I knew I shouldn't be in love, but I harbored those feelings and unexpectedly said it. You're crazy, Han Tae-san. Have you been having a hard time lately? Why are you so careless? But I said it anyway, so there's nothing I can do.
โAโฆyouโre cuteโ
You seemed quite flustered and packed your bags, saying, "See you tomorrow..." before leaving, leaving me feeling uneasy.
(ring ring ring)
"Hello? Taesan Han, what's wrong?"
"Kim Yihan, I'm screwed. I think I'm crazy."
โWhatโs going on? What is it?โ
I told my long, long story.
The female protagonist looked cute since morning, and just a moment ago, she said she was cute, and now she's crazy, and she's done this to her 10-year-old best friend, and so on, and so on, and so forth, and so on.
โใ ใ ใ ใ ใ ใ Hey, are you really crazy? ใ ใ โ
โSo what should I do? How can I look at your face?โ
I buried my face in my pillow and complained to Kim Yi-han.
"Then just confess lol isn't that the best option?"
"No,,,,,what are you going to do,,"
"What can I do? Just say you like me."
"Really,,,,,,do it,,?"
"I'm so annoyed that I told you not to do it;;"
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
(Tut-tut-tut)
Only a quiet silence remained in the room. The long silence made me anxious, and the scent of the ice cream I had just eaten filled my room.
It was very full.
โStrawberry scent,โ
It seemed like a sweet but dangerous scent of temptation.
It was so late at night that I brushed my teeth and went to sleep.
The next day I went to school and Yeoju was there.
In an instant, their eyes met and their faces turned red.
โHello, Taesan.โ
"โฆโฆhi"
I approached you to break the awkward atmosphere.
โHey ladyโ
โUhโฆhuh?โ
โI know Iโm crazy, but I know I shouldnโt like someone Iโve known for 10 years,,, but I like youโฆ no, I think I love you.โ
At that time, your trembling pupils made me anxious and you lowered your head.
"youโฆ."
"what?"
โMe too, Han Tae-sanโฆโ
Wowโฆ In an instant, my legs gave out and I collapsed in front of you.
I'm so happy, it's really great, what should I do?
When I turned my head again, you were still looking down.
(sniff)
When I lifted her face, she turned red like a strawberry.
He was looking at me.
โWh..whatโ
โI really love youโ
Then you buried your face in your hands again, your ears turning bright red as you covered your face.
โShow me your face.โ You spoke with a confident tone, but you were actually quite nervous. The school was quiet at 7 oโclock, so as it grew quieter, you raised your head.
With a slightly calmer face
"Han Tae-san, then we're dating..."
If you say that, it's cheating, heroine.
He's really so cute, but what should I do with this little guy?
"okay"
You really are the one who laughs again at such a short remark...
Unable to resist the impulse of the moment, I just kissed her.
Short, less than 3 seconds
It was just a kiss, but my heart felt like it was beating fast for over 3 minutes.
"Wh...what the heck, Han Tae-san, you really are"
"Haha, so what?"
So, at 7:30 on a summer morning, we decided to draw our youth.
