Lee Young-seo's point of view
...
"Let's stop, Youngseo."
When Yeonjun suddenly returned to the snack bar while running, I felt like my world was falling apart at his first words.
이영서
"Hey, Choi Yeonjun..."
최연준
"I thought things would be okay if I stayed with you. I hope you'll remain a dependable friend."
이영서
"That's right! I want to be your friend..."
"Anyone can see that we're not friends."
I was speechless at the sight of Yeonjun speaking coldly with a cold expression, and then I opened my mouth again with a thought that immediately came to mind.
이영서
"Oh Yeo-ju, is that so?"
The Fed narrows its eyes at my question.
이영서
"That's right."
이영서
"Why? Why did Oh Yeo-ju take so long to clean up after me?"
I hated the silence that flowed at that moment so much that I almost died.
It felt like Oh Yeo-ju had ruined everything. It felt like everything was ruined because I told Yeon-jun about that girl.
I don't want to lose Yeonjun even if I die...
문서윤
"Ha... I don't know. I'm going."
I was annoyed at Seoyoon leaving with an irritated tone, at Yeonjun's attitude of looking down at me with a cold expression, and at the thought of Oh Yeo-ju, who must be going home peacefully by now, that was also irritating.
이영서
"Why are you guys doing this to me, really?"
최연준
"under..."
All that came back to my annoyed question was Yeonjun's long, thin sigh.
His sigh, which he let out in a shallow sigh, made me feel so suffocated that I felt like I was going to explode.
But I was afraid that if I kept getting angry like this, Yeonjun would leave me completely, so I tried to hold on to him with pitiful words.
이영서
"We're friends, right? Did I ask you to buy me something? I just didn't want to lose you to Oh Yeo-ju..."
최연준
"that is!"
이영서
"..."
"That's... not just friends."
No matter how much I thought about it, I felt like it was Oh Yeo-ju's fault, but I couldn't understand why Yeon-jun was angry at me.
If I just stay away from Oh Yeo-ju from now on, I don't think anything will happen, but why do you keep asking me...
이영서
"Do you not like the fact that I am angry at you?"
No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that Oh Yeo-ju had seduced Yeon-jun.
최연준
"That's not it. I believed you could change, but seeing you do this again..."
I couldn't hear a single word Yeonjun was saying. I thought that girl Oh Yeo-ju had seduced Yeonjun into doing this to me.
No, I was sure.
이영서
"Okay, I got it."
Only then did I get a sense of what I should do.
I didn't want to fight with Yeonjun anymore.
"Let's go back to the time when we didn't know each other."
'Back to the time when Oh Yeo-ju and Yeon-jun didn't know...'
After saying that, I left the snack bar and immediately called Jaehyun.
Thump thump thump thump
명재현
"hello?"
The moment I heard Jaehyun's voice, I felt like I was going to burst into tears. I wanted to pour out everything that had just happened.
이영서
"Jaehyun... Yeonjun is here..."
however...
명재현
"Excuse me, lady, I need to talk to you for a second... Uh, what did Yeonjun say?"
My breath suddenly caught in my throat.
이영서
"Are you with Oh Yeo-ju right now?"
명재현
"Uh, why? What's going on?"
I was scared.
I was so frustrated when I realized too late that both Yeonjun and Jaehyun had been stolen by that girl, Oh Yeo-ju.
Thump-
I just hung up the phone.
이영서
"Gyaaaaah!!!!"
Unable to control my rising anger, I screamed and then stared blankly at my phone screen before throwing it on the floor with all my might.
The phone screen shatters into pieces with a loud bang.
Woojikkeun- I kicked my phone and smashed it so badly that I started walking home as if nothing had happened.
이영서
"Fix what's broken, and replace what's damaged."
As I reflect on my relationships that were ruined because of Oh Yeo-ju...
...
Oh Yeo-ju's point of view
...
While sitting on the swing at the neighborhood park talking to Jaehyun, the phone suddenly rang and Jaehyun left. Not long after, he returned to his seat and sat on the swing.
오여주
"Wasn't it Yeongseo?"
명재현
"That's right, but it suddenly cuts off..."
I nodded at Jaehyun's words and started to slowly rock the swing back and forth with my feet.
오여주
"What do you want to talk about?"
Jaehyun paused for a moment to answer my question, then slowly opened his mouth.
명재현
"I said earlier that I had a girlfriend..."
Stand tall-
At Jaehyun's first words, I immediately put my feet on the floor and stopped the swing I was riding.
명재현
"I feel like I was just thinking about myself and speaking too easily. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable."
I was taken aback by Jaehyun's sudden apology and shook my head in response.
오여주
"No, I didn't think about that. If you're worried because of what Yeongseo said, then you don't have to be."
명재현
"Then that's fortunate..."
Just as I was about to roll my feet again in the brief silence that flowed.
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
자까
Hello, it's already Sunday and I have to go to work tomorrow... Horrible....
자까
Today is the last day of the week and we'll see each other again soon (Hatu)
