Hwang Eun-biㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!

I called her name almost screaming.

but.....

She won't be able to hear my voice...

태형 image

태형

....Eunbi.....

태형 image

태형

..Eunbi....

The more I call her name...

The area around my eyes... became moist.

태형 image

태형

Sigh... Huh...

I bit my lip and tried not to show my tears.

But unfortunately,

My tears began to fall

Thud...thud

....Hwang Eun-bi....

This is really too much.....

me too..

Me too...

You should have given me some time to prepare for the breakup...

If a breakup comes suddenly like this...

What should I do...?

What should I do... Hwang Eun-bi...

I'm blaming her for nothing.

If we don't do this...

I really thought I was going to pass out.

태형 image

태형

I want to see...uh...uh...

태형 image

태형

I miss you... Eunbi...

Even though I'm watching it, I want to watch it again...

If you leave me like this forever...

How on earth am I supposed to get through each day?

I was excited to see you every day,

I survived because I was with you

A few years in a boring place called 'Kuldera'...

No, I was stuck there for decades

You were the one who entered my boring and meaningless daily life.

however....

You have now become almost my entire daily life...

It's gone....

Seriously... I still can't believe it....

Definitely 5 minutes ago... no..

Until 3 minutes ago

She used to caress my cheek and tell me she loved me...

Now...there isn't any...

I can't meet you...

I can't even talk...

no,

You don't have to talk to me

It's okay if we can't meet...

Please... I just wish she were alive.

at that time,

Kim Ye-won took me to class by force.

선생님

Okay, guys, turn to page 63 of your textbook.

선생님

선생님

Why are there 4 empty seats?

선생님

I don't think anyone left work early today...

Bam!!

Teacher....something big...happened...ugh...

선생님

Kim Ye-won? Kim Tae-hyung?

선생님

Yuna... Yuna... sigh...

선생님

.....uh....I know....

예원 image

예원

Did you know...?

선생님

Just now... an ambulance came and went...

선생님

I looked into it to see what was going on...

선생님

Such...sad news...

선생님

Still, Yewon,

선생님

I fully understand your feelings, but

선생님

Public and private life must be distinguished

선생님

Okay, then Yewon and Taehyung sit down.

예원 image

예원

yes

태형 image

태형

.....

선생님

...Wait a minute...then who's the other one,...?

선생님

There should be one empty seat for Yuna...?

선생님

Taehyung, who is in front of you?

태형 image

태형

...Hwang...Eunbi...

선생님

Hwang Eun-bi? Who is she?

태형 image

태형

Eunbi... Hwang Eunbi...

선생님

Are you kidding me right now?

선생님

There's no such thing as Hwang Eun-bi in our class!!

태형 image

태형

......

선생님

Then it seems like it's empty

선생님

During break time, Taehyung took your desk to the first floor.

태형 image

태형

.....yes

Yes...

In this world....

The very existence of 'Hwang Eun-bi'

It's disappeared

In the first place...

As if I don't exist in this world...

*****

It's break time,

I had to move Eunbi's desk.

태형 image

태형

.....I don't want to move

Eunbi's desk...I didn't want to move it.

I'm putting that desk out...

It feels like I'm admitting that I'm erasing Eunbi's existence with my own hands...

I continued to hesitate in front of Eunbi's desk.

선생님

Kim Taehyung!!! Hurry up and take that empty desk away!!

I couldn't resist the teacher's urging

I lifted the desk to put Eunbi's desk out.

at that time,

Boom-

Something fell out of Eunbi's desk drawer.

It was a diary with a sky blue cover.

I picked up the diary and put it in my pocket,

I carried the desk down to the first floor.

*****

I put the desk down on the first floor.

And then, I took out Eunbi's diary that I had put in my pocket.

태형 image

태형

....Can I...look...?

태형 image

태형

Still... it's Eunbi's privacy...

태형 image

태형

No, it was Eunbi's privacy...

태형 image

태형

.....I don't know..

I decided to open my diary once

The moment I was about to open my diary,

puck

Someone tapped me on the shoulder.

?

Oh... I'm sorry....

?

Because I was walking without looking ahead...

태형 image

태형

Yeah... that could be true

?

Ah...you dropped this note...

태형 image

태형

You dropped your name tag..!!

태형 image

태형

Hwang... Eunbi...?

The name I longed for so much...

That name I can never forget....

"Hwang Eun-bi".......

은비

Yes..my name is Hwang Eun-bi?

I looked back and forth between the name tag and the face of the person named Hwang Eun-bi.

은비

.....?Why...are you like that...?

As expected... she wasn't the Hwang Eun-bi I knew.

은비

Excuse me...? My name tag...

태형 image

태형

Ah..yes..here...

은비

Yes, take this note here.

태형 image

태형

Ah.. thank you

earthly....

What did I expect.... hehe

The Hwang Eun-bi I know is...

He's already left this world... lol

I opened my diary, remembering her.

Inside it is.....

About Kuldera,

My friends' pasts were written in detail.

I opened the most recent part, yesterday's date.

'Xth day of Xth month, 20XX'

'I need to sort out the kids' pasts.'

So-jeong - Abandoned by Mother

Yerin - Bullied by Friends

Galaxy - Bullying from Friends, Father's Eyes

'...I'll be going back to the past again soon...'

'Please... I don't care who 000 is...'

'Please... I hope you can save me...'

'And... after saving him...'

'I have to say this'

To Kim Taehyung...

'I like you.....'

'I was hoping she'd confess first...'

'I can't wait any longer...'

태형 image

태형

!!!!!

Nothing came to my mind

too...

I'm so sorry...

I ...

If only I had had the courage to confess first...

If that's the case... Eunbi...

No...we.....

One day... no...

Could I have been happy for even two days?

....Eunbi....

....Hwang Eun-bi......

Although...there are countless 'Hwang Eun-bi's' in this world...

My Hwang Eun-bi...

There is only you....

I muttered, reaching out to the sky.

태형 image

태형

Eunbi,

태형 image

태형

Where are you...now...?

태형 image

태형

Are you in heaven...?

태형 image

태형

Or... are you in hell...?

태형 image

태형

.......

태형 image

태형

Or else...

태형 image

태형

It's... nowhere...?

Toouk..

I relaxed my outstretched hand.

Wherever you are...

I... don't care...

My Hwang Eun-bi

In my head...

And in my heart...

We have always been together,

In the future too...

Because we're going to do it together...

...forever....

118. Forever
