Hey,
I’m going to show you a day in the life of me and Taehyun.
I’ve been through some bad things before.
After that, Taehyun changed.
We call him a "bad boy."
"Yeojoo, let’s go to school."
"Did you come?"
Ugh, cigarette smell.
"Did you smoke?"
"No? There were a lot of bad boys on the way, I think the smell just stuck to me."
"Really?"
"We’re late, let’s go quickly."
"Okay."
He said he didn’t smoke, but every time he moved his hand, the smell of cigarettes came out.
"Taehyun, you should cut down on smoking."
"If Yeojoo is worried, then of course I’ll cut down."
"Can I trust you?"
"Yeah, trust me."
"Yeojoo, what are you doing today?"
"I think I’ll study at home, what about you?"
"If Yeojoo is studying at home, then I should study at home too."
"Okay?"
"Class is about to start, see you later."
"Where are you going?"
"I’m just going to hang out with my friends."
"Okay."
He’s going to smoke again. He doesn’t listen when I tell him to quit.
"Has Taehyun come?"
"Hi."
"Taehyun!!"
"? Choi Bumkyu? Why are you at school at this time?"
"My princess said she would kill me if I was late starting today."
"Choi Arin?"
"Me? Was I badmouthing you?"
"No, no, princess."
"Let’s smoke."
"Yeah, princess, do you have cigarettes?"
"I do."
"I’m not smoking."
"You?"
"Why do you think? It’s because of this Yeojoo."
"Haha."
"Hyuka still doesn’t know."
"Sorry."
"I’m going to see Yeojoo."
"Sigh... When will Yeojoo start liking Taehyun?"
"Idiot, Yeojoo likes Taehyun, but she doesn’t show it."
"Hyuka doesn’t know anything."
"Why?"
"Yeojoo really hates being hurt."
"Does Taehyun not know?"
"Why should we say that? Let them figure it out on their own."
"True."
"Hey Yeojoo, since Taehyun isn’t here, you don’t have any friends, huh? Haha."
"I don’t need friends, that’s why I’m not dating anyone."
"It’s not that. The other kids won’t accept you."
"Seems like you have nothing to do?"
"Yeojoo, I only need you as a friend."
Taehyun...
Bang!!
"When did I allow you to call me by my first name?"
"Taehyun, stop it."
"If Yeojoo says stop, then I’ll stop."
(Things in parentheses are whispered.)
(Why grab a girl by the collar...)
(But this time, she deserved it.)
"Still, don’t do it. I’m fine."
"I’ll go home first."
"Let’s go together! Wait for me."
"Your friends are waiting outside."
"Go home and contact me."
"No, Taehyun, why aren’t you coming out?"
"Isn’t that Yeojoo?"
"Really?"
"Yeojoo!! Let’s go together!"
"I’m going ahead. Sorry."
"We’ve been watching you for two years and now you’re avoiding us..."
"Yeojoo is hard to get close to, she’s so cold."
"Huh? No!! Yeojoo is super cute when she’s texting me."
"Does she not show affection to me?"
"I guess I’m better than Taehyun."
"Hahahaha, Taehyun, you lost to our princess."
"Let’s go to karaoke to celebrate."
"I’ll go if Bumkyu is going."
"I was just thinking about karaoke, let’s go."
"I’m not going."
"Why?"
"Yeojoo is going home."
"Fine, you guys can go."
💬- Yeojoo, are you studying?
💬My love Yeojoo- Yep.
💬- What subject are you studying?
💬My love Yeojoo- Math.
💬- Then I should study math too.
💬My love Yeojoo- Hahaha, ask me if you don’t understand something.
💬- Okay!!
"Wow, Yeojoo smiled..."
"That’s awesome... She only smiles at me, right?"
Ding dong.
💬Asshole- Hey Taehyun, come out.
💬- Why?
💬Asshole- I’m outside your house, let’s smoke.
💬- Not going.
💬Asshole- I’m with Hyuka and the princess, come out.
💬- Not going.
💬Asshole- If I get the password, I’ll just come in?
💬- Damn? I’m coming out now.
"Ugh, my back hurts so much."
"I’ll go for a walk."
"Is that Taehyun?"
"Sigh... I should be studying."
"Why is Yeojoo studying?"
"It’s the time when Yeojoo should be going for a walk."
"Ugh, you know that too?"
"Isn’t that Yeojoo over there?"
"Yeah, she’s peeking out. Our baby."
"Ugh, calling her baby when they’re not even dating."
"I’m going first."
"Isn’t it about time for Taehyun to confess? He’s starting to look pitiful."
"Yeojoo’s focusing on her studies, that’s more important."
"Unrequited love is really painful..."
"It’s not unrequited, it’s mutual. Yeojoo just doesn’t show it."
"Taehyun and Yeojoo are both frustrating."
"Yeojoo!!"
"You smell like cigarettes."
"Really? Sorry."
"It’s okay, but it’s bad for your health."
"Are you worried about me?"
"Yeah."
"I’ll quit."
"It might take a while, though."
"Take your time!"
"Let’s go, I’ll walk you home."
"Goodbye, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, goodbye."
Every day feels like hell.
Why does he have to torment me?
I wish he would stop.
What if he does that to me again...?
What should I do then?
I need to stop thinking about this.
I have Taehyun, so I need to be happy for him.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll go back to being the Yeojoo from two years ago.
I can do it.
It’s going to be hard, right...?
I’ll take it step by step.
I can’t stand seeing Taehyun suffer or get upset anymore.
Yeojoo looks like she’s in so much pain.
She wasn’t like this before, and there’s nothing I can do for her.
I want to see Yeojoo smile, but it’s been two years since I’ve seen her smile.
Will I ever see her smile again?
I hope the thing that happened before never happens again.
I can’t live without Yeojoo.
Yeojoo, I love you.
Please, don’t be sad. I’m begging you.
