[Short Story] First Love: Jeonghan

As I walk down this road after a long time, I think of my first love.

I remember walking this road with you a lot when I was a student, talking, laughing, and crying.

My first love, do you remember me?

"First Love: Yoon Jung-han"

As the bell rang and class began, the teacher announced that a transfer student had arrived. He sat down next to me, and I fell in love with him the moment I saw him.

Even among my friends, I was called the Ice Princess and the Iron Wall Queen, but this was the first time I fell in love.

That guy, no, Yoon Jung-han. Yoon Jung-han was perfect.

I think it was during gym class that we played dodgeball and Yoon Jeong-han and I became partners.

I was hiding behind Yoon Jung-han, and Yoon Jung-han protected me. That was my thrilling point.

Then, I twisted my ankle and fell down hard. Yoon Jeong-han looked at me with surprised rabbit eyes and kept asking if I was okay.

The teacher told Yoon Jeong-han to take his friend to the infirmary.

I put my arm around Yoon Jeong-han and walked unsteadily.

The hallway was filled with silence, and when I raised my head, I could see Yoon Jeong-han's face right away.

I don't know if it was because we were exercising or because we were together, but my face was flushed and flushed.

After arriving at the infirmary, Yoon Jeong-han looked at me until the infirmary teacher arrived and then left.

If we go back a little further, a little further, a little further, perhaps this will be our last story.

The teacher said that Yoon Jeong-han had to transfer schools again.

Yoon Jeong-han said that it was nice to be together and that he was grateful.

I didn't listen. I felt that if I heard that, Jeonghan and I would be closer to parting ways.

On my way home as usual, someone tapped my shoulder from behind.

When I looked back, there was a familiar face standing there: Yoon Jeong-han.

He cried, saying that he was sorry to see me go, that he had grown very attached to me and that it was sad to leave.

Actually, I also had tears in my eyes. Because I had loved alone for so long.

I spoke to Yoon Jeong-han.

"Jeonghan, then let's keep this ring so we can definitely meet again later..."

Yoon Jeong-han readily agreed, and that's the end of our conversation.

You might think it was a vain first love, but it was a love that I was satisfied with in my own way. A 6-month unrequited love, my first love, Yoon Jung-han.

"I miss you, Jeonghan."
