“Why did you fight?”
" .. I don't know "
"Are you really going to do this? Why aren't you saying anything?"
“ … ”
Choi Soo-bin deliberately didn't respond, even though she knew she would be misunderstood. No matter how much she pondered the reason for the fight, she couldn't come up with a reason.
Did Beomgyu strike first? No, I don't think so. Is it because he's so arrogant that he's acting like this?
In the end, I ended up yelling at Choi Soo-bin.
“Why did you fight?!”
“ ..!! ”
"Are you the kind of guy who would beat someone up for no reason? You're the kind of guy who wouldn't beat someone up even if there was a reason."
“ … ”
“But why did you fight and hit each other?”
” … “
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you okay with me misunderstanding you?”
" no.. "
“But why aren’t you saying anything and why are you holding on like that?”
” … ”
at that time,
Swish,
“Hey..! Your hand..!!”
" .. ah "
For a moment, I thought, "Oh no." Ever since Choi Soo-bin was little, whenever we fought, he'd always get timid, say nothing, and just watch my reaction. Whenever that happened, he had a habit of biting his fingers.
As expected, blood was flowing out next to the index finger, as if it had been torn off earlier.
Eventually I stopped being angry, went into my room, and got out the first aid kit.
Swish,
" ah..! "
"Who said to tear it down like that?"
" .. sorry "
"If you're sorry, tell me why you fought."
"..sorry about that too"
"Ugh... Really"
Swish,
widely,
"Okay, that's it."
“ … ”
“I won’t get angry, so just straighten your shoulders.”
" .. really? "
“Really”
At my words, Choi Soo-bin finally straightened his shoulders and looked straight at me. Seriously, when I see him like that, he still looks like a kindergartener.
“.. my lady”
" why "
“Do you want to eat tteokbokki?”
" you..! "
"I'll buy it for you~ Okay?"
“ .. Really haha “
As expected, he knew exactly how to calm me down. In the end, I never figured out why we fought, and the day passed like that.
The next day,
“No, really, the metropolitan area is the tastiest?”
“Hey, but that’s a bit…”
As usual, I went to school with Choi Soobin, but today I'm planning to meet Beomgyu instead of Choi Soobin. I wonder if Beomgyu wouldn't tell me if he was wronged.
Swish,
“Huh? Yeoju, you’re here?”
“.. That’s Beomgyu”
" uh? "
“Let me talk to you for a minute.”
So, I called Beomgyu aside and we went to the playground bench. No matter how much I thought about it, Beomgyu seemed to be in a slightly more unfair position than Choi Soobin.
It wasn't Beomgyu who first showed his dislike for Choi Soobin.
“You called me because of yesterday’s work, right?”
“Huh? Oh.. right.”
“I guess Subin didn’t say anything.”
"What..?"
"There's more to Soobin hiding from you than you think."
" .. uh? "
"Honestly, I can't tell you why we fought. But..."
” … “
“I hope you don’t trust Soobin too much.”
“ … ”
“I don’t know exactly what kind of Subin you know, Yeoju, but...”
“ … ”
Choi Soo-bin is hiding a lot from me...? What on earth does that mean? It was a completely different answer from the question I asked. It wasn't the answer I expected, nor did it quite answer my question.
But the answer hit me hard on the head.
“By the way, were you really surprised yesterday?”
“I’m surprised.. I’m surprised. Is your face okay?”
"Yeah. Luckily, it only burst near my mouth."
" .. thank god "
“.. I’ll get better soon thanks to your concern, Yeoju.”
“ ..!! ”
Heart pounding,
Heart pounding,
Beomgyu continues to pull me with strength no less than Choi Soobin. What am I supposed to do in this tense fight?
The two planets have already begun to collide. They've both inflicted damage, and if things continue this way, one of them feels like it's going to break apart.
I felt like the time given to me was not as long as I thought.
In the end, I couldn't find out why Beomgyu fought.
Physical education class,
“Okay, we’re going to play futsal today, what should the girls do..?”
“ ..? ”
“They’ve all already gone to the bench.. huh”
When I looked back, everyone was on the bench except me. What the heck, this makes me sound like a real loner. I don't have any friends, I'm just not a loner.
"Choi Soo-bin, you hurt your foot not too long ago. Come join me on the bench."
" okay "
I also headed to the bench, taking Choi Soo-bin, who had injured her foot. I should go back and ask her why.
“The weather is hot, but the kids are playing well.”
"Oh, I can't run"
“You couldn’t run even if your foot wasn’t hurt.”
“Oh, so that’s why.. I can’t run.. ”
“Phew.. Are you upset? Huh?”
“Ah, go away...”
“Our Soobin is upset~?”
“Go away..!”
at that time,
Swish,
widely,
“Hey..hey”
"Yeah, I told you not to come near me."
“ … ”
Heart pounding,
Heart pounding,
She pulls me in with a greater force than I expected. Choi Soo-bin has much more mass than I expected. I didn't think Choi Soo-bin had this much mass.
Eighteen years and two months might have held more power than I thought.
“You… have you really gotten used to teasing me lately?! “
"Hey, no way~"
“.. By the way, aren’t you really going to tell me why you fought?”
“Why? Are you curious?”
“I wonder why you, who have never fought before, fought.”
“Are you worried about Choi Beom-gyu?”
“No, that’s...”
"I know. Choi Beom-gyu is still closer."
” … “
"That's why I'm working so hard to get there"
“ … ”
“If this keeps up and Choi Beom-gyu gets there first, then I’ll just have to give up completely.”
" .. you "
“Why are you suddenly feeling sympathetic?”
" what..! "
at that time,
Tsdam tsdam,
“ ..!! ”
“Then don’t decide now and wait a little bit.”
“ … ”
Swish,
“Because I’m still working hard.”
” … “
It felt like tiny planets were flying towards me, one by one, and thumping me. Although it was a tiny vibration, created by a small force, it came to me and became a huge wave.
It felt like a great vortex was being created in my universe by that wave. A vortex that would overturn everything I had maintained until then.
The planet, which was thought to be just a small rock hidden by a nebula, was creating a very large whirlpool.
