Will I be able to go back...
I no longer had the confidence to look at your face without thinking, so I left for home first, leaving only a single text message for Eui-geon.
I was worried that you might get hurt, but I still needed time to think things over.
Jaehwan approached me while I was on my way home from school.
Aren't you going with Eui-geon today?
"Ah... just... for some reason, I wanted to go alone today..."
"I'm sorry about the lunch break today... I thought you guys were just friends..."
I'm the one who should be apologizing, but you apologized first.
"No... I'm sorry. Eui-geon lied. We're not dating."
"ah..."
"Sorry.."
Jaehwan readily smiled at my apology, saying it was okay.
You're a truly grateful friend. That's what I thought.
Jaehwan walked me home while telling me this and that.
But I was just fiddling with my cell phone in my pocket.
Just in case you contact me.
If you ask to meet, what should I say and how should I say it? That was all I could think about.
"Yeoju...?"
"....uh?"
"What are you thinking..?"
"...Ah... sorry... What were we talking about...?"
Jaehwan walked me all the way home, even though I didn't even listen to him properly.
I'm sorry, but I still didn't have time to worry about Jaehwan.
Even after arriving home, I just stared at my phone.
But you never called me all night long.
And the next day.
As soon as I arrived at school, the first thing I did was make eye contact with Eui-geon.
"not...."
When I was about to greet you first,
"Eui-geon!"
You headed out of the classroom at the girls' call.
He made eye contact with me as I stood at the door...
There was a rumor at school that we were dating.
However, perhaps because we went separately yesterday, rumors spread very quickly that we had fought or broken up.
Perhaps that is why the activities of the girls who like Eui-geon have started again.
Now, what will you say to those children to refuse them? I was inexplicably curious and desperately wanted to go separately, but I couldn't.
Are we really close enough for that...
Eventually, I sat down in my seat, and Jaehwan was next to me where Eui-geon was.
Jaehwan said something to me... but I couldn't hear a word he was saying. I was just more curious about what Uigeon would say among those girls.
Just as I was giving vague answers to Jaehwan's words,
Eui-geon came in.
I turned my head at the sound of the back door opening and made eye contact with Eui-geon.
I wanted to talk to you.
In that heart, hurriedly toward you
"excuse me..."
I said that, but whether you didn't hear or were pretending not to, you cut off our eye contact and sat down.
I had a strange feeling. I was also a little anxious.
There weren't any girls crying that day..
From that day on, Jaehwan was by my side instead of Eui-geon.
Because of that, I became close with Jaehwan too. Of course, not as close as with Eui-geon, though...
I rarely ran into Eui-geon, and whenever I did, there was another girl next to you.
Upon closer inspection, that girl was the same girl who had called out to Uigeon that day, the day she failed to greet him.
Why are those two always together...? For a moment, my mind went blank. Could it be that he accepted her confession...?
So, are the two of them dating..?
My mind went blank, and my chest felt so tight that I couldn't breathe.
And sometimes, when our eyes met, my heart ached so much. I regretted the day I got angry at you.
If I hadn't left like that on that day, what would have happened to our relationship?
I want to go back... even if we're just friends, back to when we were close...
