What Kang Tae-hyun said earlier
"But then what will Park Chae-young do?" ((Reference 13
Let's find the answer to the question.
To be honest, if Park Chae-young apologizes after the revelation, I want to remain friendly with her like we have been until now.
For a moment, I wondered if this was my greed, or if I should just ignore it as if I didn't know anything about it.
But it's too late. I'm not the only one who knows. And if only for the sake of Han Da-yoon, who found the courage to tell the truth, or perhaps just out of gratitude, I feel compelled to expose it.
I made that promise over and over again, but I was at a loss as to how and where to bring it up or how to receive an apology.
It became even more difficult to talk because she was my only female friend and the first person to approach me with sincerity.
How many hours had I been agonizing over this? It was already 2 a.m. I'd been deleting and rewriting the script, but no matter how much I thought about it, it just felt impossible. At least to me, he was always a friend I felt sorry for and grateful for.
I was still hesitating, and before I knew it, I fell asleep. For the first time in years, I was dreaming. In the dream, Park Chae-young and I were having fun. When I woke up, tears clouded my vision.
"Why are you doing this, seriously?"
Perhaps because I was frustrated trying to think it over, I shouted and spoke loudly. After speaking, I was embarrassed too, so I quickly covered my mouth with my hand, but I had already said everything.
So, I got ready without a second thought and went to school. For some reason, Choi Yeonjun wasn't there today. Having gone to school with him for years, I thought it wouldn't be easy to adjust, but I was so consumed by Park Chaeyoung that I didn't feel awkward or disappointed.
I went into the classroom full of thoughts about Park Chae-young, and when I saw Park Chae-young coming towards me, welcoming me as if she knew nothing, I felt a sudden surge of anger.
All day, I thought about Park Chaeyoung. How could I become close with her again? Why did she do that? Did I do something wrong? Did Dayoon unnie give me the wrong information? My mind was filled with questions, but you seemed like the kind of girl who would casually criticize me behind my back while being my best friend to my face.
So I just ignored Chaeyoung and sat down. It was a first. I could see that Park Chaeyoung was flustered by my ignoring her. As Park Chaeyoung approached my seat, Choi Beomgyu and Choi Yeonjun, who had arrived at a loss, separated us.
As I sat there blankly thinking, I realized I was going too far. I hadn't heard Chaeyoung's side of the story yet, and I was so ashamed of myself for acting like this based solely on Dayoon's words. So I mustered up the courage to approach Chaeyoung and ask her. Thinking back now, I feel like a reed. I said this and that, but back then, I was so crazy, no, I guess that's why I had no choice.
"... Chaeyoung, did you send me the post saying I'm a fox in Daejeon?"
As soon as the word "Daejeon" came out, I saw you lower your head, unable to meet my eyes, and it took my breath away. I believed you wouldn't do that, I thought you would be different, but I was wrong.
"Why aren't you answering? Look into my eyes and speak to me."
"..."
"Can't you at least explain? How long were you going to avoid this?"
With each word, the affection faded away. Before I knew it, not only the kids in my class, but even the kids in other classes were out in the hallway, staring at Park Chaeyoung and me. If it were the old days, I would have fled, even if it was just out of fear of those stares. But perhaps because my disappointment in Park Chaeyoung was greater than the stares, I didn't care.
"Please say no!!"
"That's right, I uploaded it in Daejeon."
"what?"
"That's right lol. Did you think that because I acted like your friend, we were real friends? lol. Honestly, you're a fox, right?"
"..."
"What the hell are you, stop whining. No one here is on your side. Honestly, I didn't like you from the beginning."
"You do whatever you want, right? With all these good-looking guys around you, it feels like the world is yours, right? Hahaha."
"Stop acting so smart, you're going to get in trouble."
When we saw Park Chae-young's other side, F5 and I were left speechless.
"Fuck, why aren't you talking? It's not funny lol"
Your single word makes my heart ache, then bruise, then repeat. Is this really the Park Chae-young I know? Could she be possessed by a ghost? No, I wanted to believe it.
"I trusted you, how could you do that?"
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What are you talking about? This is so funnyㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ"
"Do you find this situation funny?"
"Wow, damn it lol. Why is it that I usually hold back so much? It was so easy?"
"Are you Park Chaeyoung..?"
"Why? Are you scared because I only say the right things? Hahahaha why are you shaking like this~"
"You stop being so vicious that all the handsome guys are looking at you. You're really being a fox. LOL"
When those words finally left your lips, I was so sad I shed a tear or two. All the students watching me were dumbfounded, perhaps taken aback by my appearance.
"Can you stop it? Park Chaeyoung?"
You, Choi Yeonjun, who stood by me, putting your arm around my shoulder as I stood there, took my side. Then Kang Taehyun, Choi Beomgyu, Choi Soobin, and Huening Kai stood behind me one by one, glaring at Park Chaeyoung. The kids, I, and of course, Park Chaeyoung stared at us intently. As they whispered, one by one, Park Chaeyoung also spoke.
"Look, you brought them all here. It seems like they're all on your side, right? Right, heroine, lol. It seems like you're spreading rumors that you're a vixen lol."
Why was I so scared by those words? If I had heard them now, I would have said something. As I trembled, Park Chae-young approached me and continued speaking.
"Oh my, why are you shaking~ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If someone saw me, they'd think I was wrong? Just cosplaying as the victim~ Didn't I tell you to stop being a fox? ㅋㅋ Why are you ignoring me?"
"What the hell is that guy talking about?"
So, while Choi Yeonjun was fighting Park Chaeyoung on my behalf, a line suddenly came to mind, "You only live once, so it's a waste to just get hurt, right? You should try to fight back. That will all become memories later, so do whatever you want." It's a line from a certain drama. "Yeah, I can't just live with this. He's the perpetrator, so why is he so arrogant? I'll fight back, too! Choi Yeonjun can't fight for me forever, so let's be brave."
I slowly approached and slapped Park Chae-young hard across the face. Honestly, violence is wrong and shouldn't be used, but in that situation, my heart told me to do it, so I have no regrets.
"What are you doing..? What the hell are you doing, you little shit?"
Everyone grumbled at my sudden behavior. Park Yeo-ju, a model student who never cursed or did anything bad, was surprised by Choi Yeon-jun, whom she'd known since childhood. So, you can imagine how much I'm talking about.
"What did you do? You slapped meㅋㅋㅋ I hit you because I felt bad for you. Why are you surprisedㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"..? what?"
"Fuck, I didn't think of you as a friend either. How could I have known you were such a two-faced person~ㅋㅋㅋ"
"Hey buddy, you thought you'd look cool if you swore like that, right? Right? LOL"
For a moment, my emotions were out of control. No one could stop me.
