The third grader likes you

17 (Taehyung Special)












“…”









“Honey, Taehyung starved yesterday!! No matter how difficult the situation, how could you starve a child? You should have at least made him some kimchi and rice!!”

"What am I supposed to do with no kimchi or rice?! I starved for a week just to keep Taehyung from starving, and then he prepared meals for me. You could at least use the money you earn to cover living expenses, but don't you know that you're making things harder for us because you're always drinking?"

"You go make some money! Your family's struggling already, so you should drink to relieve stress. And no matter what, don't starve Taehyung!"




“…”




“Kim Taehyung! Come out and eat!”











"..thank you for this food."

Rice that felt like it wouldn't even fit a single bite, and a can of tuna left over from a week ago, ready to be thrown away. Taehyung was used to it. Even though he was only six years old, his family was struggling, his parents fighting, he cried silently alone in a small room, had no friends, and the food was poor. All of this was part of Taehyung's daily life, even at six years old.











-A month later


“..I’ll go to the playground.”


“Aren’t you hungry? Want something to eat?”


"I'm hungry. I'll be home before the sun sets."


“Okay. Have fun haha.”







Taehyung's parents were always affectionate and warm, except when they fought. Every day, Taehyung wonders what it would have been like if his parents had lived just a little bit more... just a little bit more normal lives.





(Playground)

“…”

“Hi guys!”


“Wow! It’s Yeoju!!”

"Yeoju! Let's play tag together, hehe."


“Yeah! Haha”
“Huh? Who are you? Do you want to play tag with me?”

"..no"

“Why~ Let’s go together!”

"It's okay. You guys do it among yourselves."

“Then what is your name?”

"..taehyoung kim"

"Kim Taehyung? What's your name? Let's hang out together next time, haha."

“…”


“..Hey, heroine.. That guy is being bullied. Let’s just have fun quickly.”


"what..?"

“He’s being bullied. If we play together, we’ll be bullied too, so let’s quickly go play at another playground!”

“..I won’t play with you guys anymore..”

“..?”




“(Sigh-)”

“..?”

“Let’s make a sand castle together!”

"..okay"

“..are those guys harassing you?”

"..It's because my family is poor. You shouldn't play with me, play with them."

“Wow… you talk so maturely! Do you want to come over to my house and play for a bit? My house is a huge mansion and there are so many drinks and fun toys!”

“Um... I'll ask my mom.”

"okay!"
