"Do you like Kim Taehyung that much?"
Yeoju clenched her jaw at Yoongi's question. She should have experienced the awkward situation of a boy who likes her asking if she really likes the guy she likes. Yeoju cleared her throat and tried to ignore Yoongi's words, letting the conversation flow naturally.
"Let's eat together five times."
"······?"
"If you like Kim Taehyung then, I'll give up cleanly."
"······."
"Give me a chance."
"I like you a lot, lady."
"·········. Then, just like you said, we'll only eat together five times."
"Yeah, okay. Okay."
"I said I'd give up cleanly..."
"Wow, you're already telling me to give up first."
"Sorry···."
"I'm just kidding lol. What are you sorry for?"
"······."
"Now that I'm done talking to Kim Taehyung, let's go take the retest."
"······. ha···."
Taehyung stared at the delivered letter for a long time before dropping it on the floor with a thud. "How can I read this? Everything in this letter must be a lie. It must be pretense, not sincerity." Taehyung ran a hand through his hair, seemingly distraught.
"It was really bad, Kim Yeo-ju..."
Taehyung muttered, recalling the moment a year ago when we wrote this letter together. The smiles and laughter you shared when we were together. It was all fake. Taehyung couldn't open the letter. He was afraid that even the slightest curiosity would lead to a wound several times greater than what he had felt just now. That was how Taehyung felt right now. He needed someone's reassuring words and feelings.
"Class is over. Be sure to review, and see you next time."
As soon as school ended, Yeoju hurriedly packed her bag. She wanted to keep a promise she'd made with Yoongi a few days earlier. Today was the first day. Seeing Yeoju looking more impatient than usual, Taehyung asked.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"There is something like that~~"
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are you going to eat out with your crush?"
The woman's hands, which had been finishing packing her bag, stopped. She knew Taehyung wasn't romantically interested in her, but hearing the word "some guy" come out of his mouth felt strange. She deliberately exaggerated her response.
"How did you know? Hahaha. We decided to go somewhere delicious and eat."
She was curious about Taehyung's reaction. Even though she knew it was still highly unlikely, she just wanted to confirm. Even though they were friends, Taehyung had ended things with his girlfriend and transferred schools. Could she really tell him about her crush without any hesitation? Yeoju swallowed hard.
"Okay, if it goes well, please let me know! Other people's relationships are always the most fun."
"······. Yeah haha···."
The heroine forced a smile. This made it clear: Taehyung had no romantic interest in her.
A familiar envelope landed in Yeoju's hands. It was a letter Taehyung and Yeoju had written to each other a year ago. Yeoju hesitated for a moment, then ripped open the envelope and took out the letter. The letter, which seemed quite long, was immediately revealed to be Taehyung's all-too-familiar handwriting. Yeoju forced herself to suppress her surging emotions and began reading a line or two.
A few tears fell onto the letter. Even she couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until she carefully folded the letter and put it away, deep inside, that she realized why she was crying. She simply thought it was a longing for a happy past. Rather than a special love, she thought Taehyung was a beautiful memory from her teenage years. She wanted to think that way. As she tried to give it meaning, little by little, she felt like she couldn't bear it anymore.
