The kid next to me

Episode 23: The Fourth Day

(Juyeonji's point of view)
 


“Ha...heh...heh...ha.......”
I had a dream about an old time after a long time. From the day I received my transfer notice, I vividly remembered the regretful expressions on my friends' faces as they moved away. Feeling that over and over again... is truly... indescribable.


I was a little startled by that dream, and my body felt a bit shaky. I tried to lie down a little longer and try to sleep, but the cold that was spreading made it impossible to fall back asleep. I decided not to go to school today.



‘I’m losing too much… What can I do? I’m sick…’


How many hours had passed like that? I was lying down without eating when suddenly I thought of that kid.


‘I wonder if the class... finished well..?’

I was looking through my contacts and message windows for no reason,

He got a call.


📞Hey..?
📞Oh..! Yeonji, you got it quickly. Are you feeling okay?
📞Yeah...it's okay haha
📞Thank goodness...
📞But...did you know we're connected?
📞Huh? What?
📞I was looking at your contact information... haha
📞Really? Even when you were sick, you thought of me?
📞..?! Oh, I don't know...//
📞ㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, get some rest and eat well..
📞Yeah...



Thump-

The call was disconnected.




I remembered what he told me to eat well, so I prepared some food for him and started eating right away.
