That love back then, in the teachers' room again

7. Keep a careful distance.

(*Taehyun's point of view)

(_Monday... teacher's office..)

After the meeting, I returned to the teachers' office
The heroine was organizing the prints…

And then he tilted his head after looking at a printed copy...

Heroine: What is this..?

Actually, I printed it out in advance because you said you needed it earlier…
If I could...
I did it… .
I printed it because I thought it was necessary…
I want to say this...

Between ex-lovers
Who says such things?


just…
Only to the extent that I can…


.
.
.

Lunch time…
I was going to the teachers' cafeteria with other teachers.
Yeoju and teacher Beomgyu are on good terms
We were walking while talking.

Why am I jealous of this… .
This isn't right...

.
.
.

The moment I sat down on the chair and was about to pick up the water glass…
It brushed lightly against the back of the female protagonist's hand..!!

(_swoosh)

Heroine: ((!!)) Oh, I'm sorry...

Taehyun: No….


If it were before, I would have just laughed it off…
It's been so many years since I've become so awkward and uncomfortable...

I felt sad for no reason….
But I thought there would be some affection between us even after we broke up…

Yeoju doesn't even have that...

.
.
.


Because class ends at 5th period
I quickly gathered my materials and went into the classroom…

By the way... Didn't you digest what you ate for lunch..?
I felt unwell from the start of class
Now my eyes were spinning and I was feeling dizzy.
 



Taehyun: Hey guys, I'm going to the teacher's office for a bit... I'm studying.


I'm not in good condition even on a regular basis
There was always medicine in my bag…


I thought I'd be okay if I took the medicine, so I quickly took it and was about to leave.
Suddenly, I felt like something was coming up…


I feel like I'm going to vomit any moment I open my mouth
I immediately covered my mouth and ran to the bathroom…


Everything before my eyes was blurry and I couldn't see anything properly...
Even though the female protagonist passed by in front…
Even though you look at me with worried eyes…


.
.
.


Taehyun: Ugh….

As soon as I entered the bathroom stall, I grabbed the toilet
I threw up everything that came out of my mouth…

‘It’s not completely healed yet…’
That's all I can think about...

.
.
.

When I came out of the bathroom, the female protagonist was standing there…
As if worried… .

Heroine: ...I told you to take good care of your body

Taehyun: …..

Heroine: If you're like that, class,Faculty meetings and stuff
I can't do anything right...

Taehyun: …..

I couldn't say anything…
It's all true...
If things continue like this, I can't do anything...

Heroine: Which class were you in?

Taehyun: ….Class 6

Yeoju: Then… since it’s our class… the afternoon class is
All the other teachers are doing it... I'll take care of the kids.
You should get off work quickly and go to the hospital…

.
.
.

(_thump)

Student 1: Huh? Teacher?!

Heroine: … .

Student 2: What about Teacher Taehyun?

Yeoju: Uh... That's... Teacher Taehyun's condition isn't very good.
This time I'm studying on my own

.
.
.


Student 3: Teacher! Can't we look at Kokomu?

Yeoju: … .Okay, I'll play the video, so don't make a fuss and watch quietly.


.
.
.

(*Yeoju's point of view)

So I got off work like that…
Just in case, I called Kang Tae-hyun…

(📞Yeoju —> Taehyun)

Taehyun: Hello…?

Heroine: … Are you okay..?

Taehyun: Yeah… I went straight to the hospital…

Heroine: What did they say at the hospital..?

Taehyun: …stress-induced gastritis

Heroine: … Was it hard..?

Taehyun: Huh..?

Yeoju: You don't get stressed easily... but why...

Taehyun: … I guess I’m just out of it these days

Heroine: … Then get some rest

.
.
.

Why..? He's my ex-boyfriend, but I'm so worried...
We're just coworkers...
It's just a nickname with the word 'ex-boyfriend' attached to it...
Ex-boyfriend…
These three letters create a wall between people
Making it difficult to approach…

Was it originally this difficult..?
