[Short Story] "That Man Back Then": Woozi
A girl who was running around making noises bumped into a man with slitted eyes.
여자아이
Ouch..
한 고등학생
What the... what the heck, why are you running, kid?
여자아이
Dude, I'm not a kid!
한 고등학생
I'm not an old man, I'm a high school student, kid.
여자아이
Eww.. Mister!! I'm sick!!
한 고등학생
I'm sick too
After a long struggle, the man made eye contact with the girl.
한 고등학생
'He's a cute little kid.'
여자아이
Hmm.. Mister! You thought I was cute?!
한 고등학생
No, kid
여자아이
Sir! I didn't introduce myself...
한 고등학생
No introduction needed. We won't meet again anyway.
여자아이
Sir, we will meet again. Exactly 8 years later.
한 고등학생
In eight years I will be twenty-five.
여자아이
Yeah! I was 17, and you were 25!
한 고등학생
Don't make me laugh, kid, go home.
여자아이
Sir, I'm a fairy. I can read your thoughts.
한 고등학생
Yeah~
여자아이
Don't forget, we are destined to meet in 8 years
The girl suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a question.
The man said it would only be a short time and that the girl was strange, and continued on to their destination.
"That old man back then"
Eight years later, time passed and the man and the girl remembered what happened eight years ago.
남자
Now... it's been 8 years
소녀
Now I have to go meet my uncle.
On March 1st of the new semester, the girl has now become a full-fledged high school student.
The man with the charming, slanted eyes of eight years ago has become a mature adult, and he has become a high school teacher who teaches students.
The girl, now a high school student, went to school and opened the door to her class, only to find a familiar face there.
소녀
The old man's slanted eyes are still attractive.
The man didn't hear the sound, but when class started, he was surprised to see the girl's face.
남자
That strange woman...
( Ding dong dang dong )
남자
After class, student Kim Yeo-ju was asked to come to the teacher's office for a moment.
소녀
yes
Among the stories being heard here and there, there were speculative stories and conversations such as whether he was filmed from the first class or whether his grades were not good in middle school.
소녀
Sir, we meet again?
이지훈
Yeah, that's right.
소녀
Sir, are you really a sir now?
이지훈
..what do you mean I look so old?
소녀
Yes, Mr. Lee Ji-hoon. You look very old.
이지훈
under ?
The conversation was filled with laughter, and the two met exactly eight years later.
소녀
... Sir, it's been a while.
이지훈
I missed you too
"That old man back then"
I've been putting off writing this, and I'm finally writing it now lol!
8 years ago, Yeoju was 9 years old and Jihoon was 17 years old!
I wanted to express something sweet, but I couldn't express it well, lol
