1. I tried to protect something.
"But it was late fall when I was practicing... but it's already winter weather."
"Of course. You've been lying down for two weeks."
"Huh.. Really?"
"Even if it's a hospital, I feel like I'll live a little once I leave the hospital room, right?"
"Yeah! Wow, really.. I love it."
"Oba... but why didn't you say anything?"
" uh? "
"Why didn't you tell me you were sick?"
" ... "
I was curious. Why was he sick, where exactly was he hurting, and when did he start? I was curious about everything. Why did a child with such a pure, innocent heart act so dark?
"And why did you do that gangster thing?"
" ... "
"Soonyoung. I want to be friends with you, not like a bully or a shuttlecock, but a friend who just says hello, but a real close friend."
"..Does it make a difference if I say it?"
" uh? "
"I always said.. I'm not a thug, but after those guys framed me, no one listened to me.. And then my mother passed away and my father passed away a long time ago.. I had no one to lean on, but the moment I saw you, I knew.. I thought Jae would be different.. But he really was different. I knew it when I saw you save Seungkwan Boo."
" .. I see "
Kwaak -
" .. It was really scary. When I was young, I could just laugh and get by, but then darkness came and I felt like I was being dyed too, so I pretended to be dark on purpose. I thought that if I did that, they wouldn't touch what was inside me."
Sunyoung tried to tell everything in a trembling voice without leaving anything out, and I waited without rushing her.
"Sunyoung-ah"
" uh? "
"You worked hard... You worked hard to keep that feeling."
" .. my lady "
" why? "
"I want to be like you. Someone who can protect others."
"You're already that kind of person."
" what.. "
"You saved me twice from those bullies."
" ... "
"I saw that and felt, 'Oh, this kid is a good guy. There must be a reason why he did that thug thing.'"
" .... "
" .. Then shall we go outside?"
" okay "
So we left the hospital and walked down the street. We kept in step, and if someone fell behind, we followed suit and walked together little by little.
2. It's not a coincidence, it's fate!
"It's still a long way until Christmas... but there are already a lot of places decorated for Christmas."
" I know "
"Aren't you cold?"
"What about you? You're probably colder than me, wearing a hospital gown and a cardigan over it."
" little..? "
"Phew... Okay, let's go to a store or something."
" huh! "
So we went into the cafe next door.
"It was a cafe earlier too, but it's different than before..."
"Oh? That's the one you said you wanted to eat last time... isn't it a macaron or something? There's also chocolate mousse."
"Huh? Really?"
As it turned out, the place we'd entered was the famous macaron shop I'd been singing about going to, and today was a special sale day, so they had chocolate mousse. Oh my... I absolutely had to try this.
"Do you want to eat?"
"No, just buy yours"
"Tch.. Then I'll feel so sorry!"
"Then... I want to try a macaron too."
"Okay.. I'll go order and come back."
" huh! "
So I went to the counter to order. Huh? No way.
"Uh..music teacher?"
"Huh? Long time no see, female student!"
"Teacher, do you work here?!"
"Huh.. no, my younger brother does it originally, but it's just a patchwork."
"Ah~ I see. Then please give us two sets of macarons and one chocolate mousse!"
"The total is 13,200 won."
"Okay~"
After paying the bill, I quickly received the chocolate mousse and macarons and returned to my seat.
"Wow~ This is so delicious"
" ? Have you never eaten it before? "
"Yeah! I only saw it on the internet... It looks really delicious."
"Heh.. Let's eat quickly!"
" okay! "
I picked up a macaron and took a bite. Wow.. it was sweet and the cream inside was fantastic.. um, somehow this sweetness reminds me of my music teacher. Should I try some other ones?
I picked up something else and took another bite. Hmm... this one isn't as sweet, but it has a sweetness to it and a rather quiet taste. Then this one... Seungkwan.
I picked up another one and took a bite. Hmm, this one... has a bit of strawberry flavor and tastes like it's going to be really fun. Then this one... is just like Lee Yeon-woo.
I picked up the last one and put it in my mouth. This one was particularly white and had nothing on it. I felt it the moment I chewed it. It really tasted like milk. The combination of vanilla and milk was fantastic. White... So is this Kwon Soon-young? No, Kwon Soon-young is a very flashy person, even on the outside.
"All the macarons are just like us"
"What are you talking about?"
"The yellow one is the music teacher, the green one is Seungkwan, the pink one is Yeonwoo, and the white one is me."
" ..? I am? "
"You don't have one, because you're gorgeous both inside and out."
"Fancy? Me?"
"Yeah, you're all gorgeous and pretty."
" ..// I'm a little big.. "
"Maybe these macarons, you guys, and the teacher, it's not a coincidence, it's fate."
"What are you talking about?"
"The music teacher is sweet, but if it's too sweet, it'll be boring, so Seungkwan helps you keep it sweet while making it boring. And if it's too boring, it's not fun, so Yeonwoo makes it bouncy, and I combine everything well and tell you that."
" ... "
"Maybe God planned everything when he created coincidences. It's fate, but it's not fate, it's a common fate."
"But I hate that the music teacher was involved in that fate."
"What the heck? It's coming out again? Put it back in."
" okay.. "
"Should we go now?"
"Why? Can't you stay longer?"
"No, no. I have to go get a shot, Sunyoung."
"Ah...you can just go."
"Hey.. let's go!"
So we headed back to the hospital.
3. Feelings towards gangsters
"If you take this, you'll probably feel a bit weak and sleepy. In that case, just get some sleep."
" yes~ "
After the nurse left, Kwon Soon-young suddenly collapsed.
"Wh...what?! Are you awake, Soonyoung?"
"Ugh... It hurts so much. I think it would get better if the female lead held my hand."
"What~? Huh.. Don't pretend to be sick?"
"I'm not faking it... Ugh, it hurts so muchㅜㅜ"
"Well... there are all sorts of things to do"
Hug -
"Is it okay?"
"Yeah! It's so good. I think everything will get better."
"Tch.. Oh, right. Take your medicine well when you get out of the hospital, okay?"
"I don't like it..."
" why? "
"It's annoying and I forget because no one takes care of it."
"Why do I text you every day?"
"Then good~"
"Tseup - I think you're lying"
"No way?! I don't lie about things like this."
"Okay, so if I text you, you'll definitely eat it, okay?"
" huh! "
" .. not sleepy "
" little..? "
"Then just sleep. I'm going to sleep today anyway. I have to stay until Seungkwan comes tomorrow."
"Okay.. Then wake me up tomorrow morning and go."
"Okay.. Okay, go to sleep now."
"Good night...bye"
It was Kwon Soon-young who fell asleep right after saying that. She must be very sleepy. She didn't even eat lunch. She slept well.
Swish -
"You look like a baby sleeping while holding your mother's hand."
" .... "
"If you're sick, you should tell your mom."
" ... "
"I think what you said was right. It was true that I would fall for you and be jealous of you."
" .... "
"I like you. Kwon Soon-young."
You were absolutely right. I'm in love with you. I don't know what it is, but I'm definitely in love with you. I can only interpret this feeling as liking you. So I'm going to think of it that way. I like you.
After a while -
"Um.. "
"Are you awake?"
"Yeah.. I think I slept too much.. "
"It's good to sleep a lot~"
"I won't be able to sleep tonight..."
"Heh.. You have to talk to me at night"
" uh? "
"Okay~ Take your medicine quickly and I'll give you some water."
"Ah... yeah"
Gulp -
"Okay here"
"Thank you~"
"..you know, Kwon Soon-young"
" uh? "
"That's... no"
"Chi... I'm curious."
"Okay~"
"Can't you just take care of me for the rest of your life? I like it better now..."
"No, no. I have to go to school and I don't want my friend to get sick."
"That's right..."
I did say it indirectly. But I have to study, and I really don't want to see Kwon Soon-young hurt.
As we were talking, it was dinner time and we were well prepared.
"Isn't it uncomfortable to sleep there?"
"Well... it's not that uncomfortable, I sleep really well."
" still.. "
"Tsk- You can't sleep well here."
" .. okay "
So we each lay down on our beds and I turned to Kwon Soon-young and said.
"Kwon Soon-young"
" why? "
"Aren't you curious about what I feel for you?"
"I'm curious... I like it, but it's useless if it's not you. And if you feel the same way, I'll have to try harder."
"It's the first time I've felt this way with a gangster. That's how I feel about you."
"Tch.. what is that?"
"I don't know~ Figure it out yourself"
" .. my lady "
" why? "
"Do you remember the day I told you I was going to take a picture of you?"
"I know... you seemed so unlucky back then."
"Ah... I couldn't help it."
"Why? Just come and be friends with me."
"I've never really learned how to become friends."
"You don't learn to be friendly. You learn to approach with sincerity."
"That's right... I learned how to approach with sincerity."
"But you came to me with sincerity, so I accepted you."
"Thank you for accepting."
" .... "
" ruler? "
" .... "
"You must be sleeping... But, heroine, can I interpret what you said earlier in my own way?"
" .... "
" .. Then I'll just interpret it my way. You like me too"
" ... "
"I like you, heroine."
After saying those words, Sunyoung fell asleep while looking at Yeoju.
