Back then: again

07 | Signal flare

After the sixth period class, Kim Yeo-ju approached Kim Tae-hyung, who was erasing the blackboard. She then picked up another eraser and looked at Kim Tae-hyung.

김여주

Do you like erasing the blackboard? Do you keep erasing?

김태형

No, it's just that I feel good when I look at the blackboard.

김여주

why?

김태형 image

김태형

....because the blackboard is green?

Kim Yeo-ju's eyes widened at those words. "Me too! I think we really fit together!" she said, smiling brightly.

"Do you like chalkboards that much? Just date."

“Taehyung, I like the color green. So if you tell me to date a chalkboard, I can do it! Haha.”

That's what Kim Yeo-ju said in the past. Do you know, Kim Yeo-ju? That this was what you said. You don't know. The expression on Kim Yeo-ju's face as she erased the blackboard made Kim Tae-hyung suffer even more.

I should be grateful just for meeting you, but why do I keep getting greedy? I wish you'd remember me.

He stopped erasing the chalkboard and turned to Kim Yeo-ju. Perhaps sensing his gaze, he met Kim Tae-hyung's eyes.

김여주

Huh? Why did you ask?

김태형

....No, it's just so pretty

김여주

uh....?

Kim Yeo-ju, who had been standing there dumbfounded, smiled awkwardly. "I-I'll go first!" she said, turning her back on Kim Tae-hyung and leaving the class.

홍시은

.......

홍시은

Huh, you're being so annoying.

Kim Yeo-ju came out and sat on the stairs. Her cheeks flushed hotly, and she panicked. "I'm not usually like this. Why am I like this?"

Suddenly, with words, she'd never felt anything like this before. Kim Yeo-ju's heart raced as emotions surged to the surface, as if they'd been waiting for it.

김여주

Uh...um...why am I like this?

김여주

no way...

김여주

Was I a gold digger?!..

No, no, that can't be. While Kim Yeo-ju was denying the situation, even to the point of vehemently refusing to do so, a man's voice came into her ear.

박지민

Huh? Is that Kim Yeo-ju?

김여주

...right, but who are you?

박지민 image

박지민

......Ah. Heh

박지민 image

박지민

I'm Park Jimin, I go to the same academy as you.

At those words, Kim Yeo-ju brushed off her skirt, stood up, and stood before Park Jimin. Park Jimin, who had been smiling sadly, was the first to speak.

박지민 image

박지민

Actually, I started going there a few days ago, so I don't have any friends.

박지민 image

박지민

So, do you want to go to school with me?

김여주

School?

김여주

Well... Okay then. Haha

A soft curve formed at the corner of Park Jimin's mouth. Kim Yeo-ju spoke, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

김여주

Then let's meet at the main gate after school!

박지민 image

박지민

Okay, I'll wait. Haha

He waved at Park Jimin and entered the classroom. Park Jimin's expression, which had clearly been smiling, instantly hardened as soon as Kim Yeo-joo disappeared.

I saw Kim Yeo-ju's face turn red.

_ Is it too late?
