First Love's First Love (1) - Soobin

Hey, Subin. You know what?

All of my first pages began with you.




You were always like that.
When the wind blew, you'd casually pull out the earbud that was in your ear, and
poke it into my ear and ask.

"Yeoju, do you like this song too?"


Honestly, loud rock music that made my ears ring was
not my taste at all.

But when I saw the innocent dimples blooming on Subin's face like a boy's,
for some reason it felt like my breath stopped, so all I could do was nod.


"Yeah, I've only been listening to this song lately," I'd lie and say.
Because it was a lot easier to lose my taste than to lose you, Subin.




From that day on, my playlist was dyed entirely in your color.




I really can't eat spicy food.
But if you, Subin, said let's go eat tteokbokki,
I'd nod for the spiciest level,

and even though I wanted to rest at home on weekends, I'd follow you, Choi Subin, who liked basketball,
sit curled up on the bone-chilling gym stands,
and keep your back in my eyes all night long.




"We really do match, in taste and personality. Right?"




Looking into your eyes then, I thought,

'I like you so much that I'm stupidly going along with everything.'


But you, so kind it was almost foolish, never knew, even if it killed you.




Then one day,
you smiled shyly and said,

that there was someone you liked.

At that moment, it felt like my whole world was collapsing.


Unlike the relaxed eyes you had when you looked at me,
your eyes when you said that person's name were shimmering and shining,



So I bit my lip until it bled and forced a smile.

"Who is it? Is it someone I know?"




From that day on, every night I made up my mind.
That I had to erase Choi Subin from my world, even if I had to force it.

I cut back on contacting you to keep my distance,
and we drifted apart naturally.




For years, we became
perfect strangers who didn't send each other a single message.

One dawn, when I thought I'd finally buried you,

at 2 a.m., in the silence, my phone screen
lit up and buzzed.


On the screen appeared 'Choi Subin'Those three letters made my heart, frozen solid for years, fall mercilessly beneath the night sky.
In the midst of that awful silence, one line popped up on the main screen.


-Yeoju, are you asleep by any chance?
