최범규
“Kang Yeo-ju…”
강여주
“Hey… Choi Bam-gyu…”
최범규
“I’m sorry…”
강여주
“No… I’m more sorry…”
강태현
“…What are you guys doing?”
강여주
“Crack!”
최범규
“Why are you here, hyung…?”
강태현
“This is my house, so come out.”
강여주
“No, why did you come all of a sudden!”
강태현
“Because you haven’t come in a while.”
강여주
“…”
강태현
“Thanks to you, I got to see the two of you apologizing~”
강여주
“Oh, just that…”
최범규
“My lady…”
강여주
"huh?"
최범규
“I think I should go first…”
강여주
“Yeah… Bye…!”
강여주
“No… You’re just leaving so suddenly?”
강여주
“Are you still very upset?”
강여주
“I have to appease you with something to eat tomorrow!”
강태현
“My lady.”
강여주
“What… why are you suddenly like that?!”
강태현
“What, can’t I say this?”
강여주
“Wouldn’t you be surprised if I called you Yeoju after always calling you Kang Yeoju, Kang Yeoju?”
강태현
“Anyway, I can’t talk to you because of you.”
강여주
“Why? What are you talking about?”
강태현
“Okay.”
강여주
“Oh, tell me!”
강태현
“I’m telling you this because my dad told me to.”
강여주
“It seems very serious…?”
강태현
“That might not be it…?”
강태현
“Anyway, four years ago…”
This is a story from 4 years ago, when Yeoju was living in the city.
강여주
“Kang Tae-hyun!”
강태현
"what?"
강여주
“I want to eat something!”
강태현
“What is it?”
강여주
“Spicy kimchi stir-fry…”
강태현
"no."
강여주
"why…?"
강태현
“Dad told me not to eat it.”
강여주
"still…"
강태현
“Everyone is telling you to stay healthy, so if they tell you not to eat, then don’t eat.”
강여주
"okay…"
친구
“I told you not to eat spicy food…”
강여주
“As long as I don’t get caught by my dad and brother!”
친구
“But what if you get sick?”
강여주
“Will eating this once make you sick?”
친구
“I’m worried…”
강여주
“I’m fine, let’s eat quickly!”
강여주
“Brother…”
강태현
"why?"
강여주
“I feel so sick…”
강태현
“What? What did you eat?”
강여주
“…I guess I just ate it in a hurry.”
강태현
“I always tell you to eat slowly…”
강여주
“Sorry… I’m going to school alone…”
강태현
“Okay… Go home and rest.”
강여주
"huh…"
강태현
“Kang Yeo-ju!”
강여주
“Brother…”
강태현
“Are you okay?”
강여주
"huh…"
강태현
“Tell me honestly what you ate.”
강여주
“I just ate chicken… in a hurry…”
강태현
“Don’t lie.”
강여주
“Something spicy…”
강태현
“I told you not to, so why did you eat it?”
강여주
“Because you won’t let me eat it… I want to eat it…”
강태현
“This isn’t the first or second time you’ve been to the hospital like this.”
강여주
“…”
강태현
“I’ll be back later, so rest for now…”
강여주
"huh…"
???
“Hey… are you okay?”
강여주
“Me?”
???
"huh…"
강여주
"yes…"
???
“Can you walk?”
강여주
“Do you think I couldn’t walk to get here?”
???
“No… I just collapsed…”
강여주
"ah…"
???
“I carried you.”
강여주
“You said you carried me…?”
???
“Yeah, so get well soon.”
강여주
"why…"
???
“Get well soon and let’s play together.”
강여주
“Well… I understand…”
Yeoju lived in the hospital like that for several months.
강여주
“So, what happened?”
강태현
"what."
강여주
“Next!”
강태현
“I don’t know either. That’s all Dad wants me to say.”
강여주
“Hey, what is it…”
강태현
“And you treat Beomgyu well.”
강여주
“Why is that?”
강태현
“Because the person who took you to the hospital and played with you back then was Beomgyu.”
강여주
"what…?"
강태현
“He’s Choi Beom-gyu.”
강여주
"omg…"
강여주
“Choi Beom-gyu!”
최범규
"why…?"
강여주
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
최범규
“What, I already apologized earlier.”
강여주
“No… I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you!”
최범규
“… Do you know me?”
강여주
“You were the one who took me to the hospital and played with me back then!!”
최범규
“I guess Taehyun told you.”
강여주
“Anyway… you and I were destined!”
최범규
“…”
강여주
“We’ve met before!”
최범규
“…”
강여주
“Me too, with you…”
최범규
"sorry…"
강여주
"uh?"
최범규
“A little later…”
강여주
“Why all of a sudden…?”
최범규
“I’m really sorry…”
강여주
“…”
최범규
“Let’s meet again here in exactly 30 days.”
강여주
“What does that mean…?”
최수빈
“Choi Beom-gyu!”
최범규
“If the timing is right, we are truly destined…”
강여주
“Choi Beom-gyu…”
최범규
“When we meet, we look at each other with a smile.”
강여주
“Hey… Where are you going…!”
최수빈
“See you later, my lady…”
강여주
“You don’t have to tell me where you’re going…!!”
강태현
“Now let’s go too.”
강여주
“When did you come…?”
강태현
"just now…"
강여주
“You knew all this and told me about it today, right?”
강태현
“Hey, how would I know that?”
강여주
“Senior Subin must have told you…”
강태현
“I just found out about this today too?”
강여주
“…Lies, it must be fun to lie to me all the time?”
강태현
“Kang Yeo-ju, watch your words.”
강여주
“You should be careful, oppa.”
강태현
"what?"
강여주
“You made me like this, oppa.”
Taehyun tried to say something, but Yeoju was already on her way home.
강여주
“Where on earth did you go…”
강여주
“I don’t even go to school…”
강여주
“I told you to meet in 30 days, so I can’t say I’m not coming back…”
친구
“Hey lady!”
강여주
"huh?"
친구
“It’s the weekend tomorrow, so let’s go play with the kids!”
강여주
“I wonder…?”
친구
"depart!"
강여주
"now?"
친구
“What’s the problem?”
강여주
“School isn’t over yet?”
친구
“What are you talking about, it was over a long time ago!”
강여주
“What, when did it end?”
최범규
“Brother, did we move too quickly?”
최수빈
“It may seem like that, but I’ll go back anyway.”
최범규
“I’m so sorry I couldn’t say anything though…”
최수빈
"don't worry."
최범규
“I’m doing this because I don’t think I can do anything at school right now!”
최수빈
“Don’t you know that the female protagonist has more friends than you?”
최범규
“They’re all my friends!”
최수빈
“So you must be hanging out with your friends right now.”
최범규
“Ah… I’m so anxious…”
강여주
“Wow, awesome, look at that whale!”
Yeoju wasn't one of Beomgyu's worries.
Time passed quickly as we both lived busy lives.
