Childhood friend Jeon Won-woo
9. Bugs



수하나
"Soonyoung, you can give it to me now."


권순영
"No. I'll take you."


문준휘
"Give me one. I'll listen to it!"


권순영
"it's okay."

Sunyoung ran ahead of me, pulling my carrier.

I really can hear it.



선생님
"You guys go down the mountain and decide where to pitch your tents. Five people can sleep there, regardless of gender. Did you decide on this in advance?"

선생님
"I'll be down there with the other teachers, so come down if you need anything."

선생님
"Start setting up the tent now."

The teacher went down there.

Sunyoung, Junhwi, me. Two people are missing.


권순영
"Should we start with the installation first?"


문준휘
"How are you going to get two people together?"


권순영
"Um... don't you have any friends?"


문준휘
"I said there isn't any."


권순영
"My friend Lee Ji-hoon is here. I think he's already saved some kids."


문준휘
"I only know you two and Jeon Won-woo."

At Jun-hwi's words, Sun-young looked at me.


수하나
"Um... why?"


권순영
"Jeon Won-woo... Can I share a tent with you..?"

Setting up the tent required a lot of hands, and there was a mission for the tent partners later that night, so finding people as quickly as possible was the priority.


수하나
"I don't want you all to be in trouble because of me..."


권순영
"Is it possible..?"

He nodded.


권순영
"Okay. I'll go find Jeon Won-woo."

Sunyoung went to a place where there were a lot of kids.

Jun-hwi grabbed my hand and said that we should start by picking out a tent bag and set up a spot.

You don't have to hold my hand...




문준휘
"Is this about right?"


문준휘
"It's not far from the other kids' tents, and you can hear the sound of water just right."


수하나
"I like it. Let's get the tent out."


문준휘
"huh."



전원우
"Hey, Suhana."


수하나
"..."

As soon as Jeon Won-woo arrived, I moved to the seat next to Jun-hwi.

Now that I think about it, he... wouldn't he put bugs inside my clothes when I sleep..? I suddenly feel uneasy.


전원우
"What are you doing, whining like a dog?"

He took the cloth I was holding in my hand.


권순영
"Hanaya, Jeon Won-woo is going to share the room with a girl named Jang Eun-woo from another class. So, a girl named Eun-woo will be coming later too."


수하나
"Ah... yeah."


권순영
"Then let's install this first."


전원우
"Hey, Suhana. Hold on to this."


수하나
"huh."

I walked to where Jeonwonwoo was crouching and grabbed what he was told to grab.

dismissal,

What just happened...


수하나
"Whoa!!"

The bug's body was bursting open. My hands were stained with its blood and debris.


전원우
"Oh my. There was a bug there?"

How can it be so consistent?

A lot of time had passed, but Jeon Won-woo was still the same as he was eight years ago.

I glared at Jeon Won-woo with tears in my eyes.


권순영
"Hanaya. There's a tap down there, but no, come with me."

Sunyoung put her hand on my shoulder.




수하나
"It exploded in my hand..."


권순영
"Was that so?"


수하나
"I heard a sound..."


권순영
"Yeah, yeah."


수하나
"Ah, really..."


권순영
"The area under my eyes is red."

Sunyoung washed my hands herself in running water.

He was really kind and considerate. He was like an older brother taking care of his younger sibling, who was much older than him.


수하나
"...like my older brother."


권순영
"What about you, oppa."


수하나
"Oh, hey!"

Sunyoung splashed water on my face and ran away.


수하나
"Hey, hey, Kwon Soon-young!!"



권순영
"Come quickly. The kids will be waiting."

문준휘
"Did you know there were bugs in there?"


전원우
"I didn't know."

I wasn't feeling well. I was silently setting up the tent when Moon Jun-hwi approached me.


문준휘
"You've been harassing me all this time."


전원우
"..."


문준휘
"Why on earth are you harassing one of them?"


전원우
"I wanted you to look at me."


문준휘
"What,"


전원우
“If I don’t do this, you won’t look at me.”


문준휘
"If you keep bothering one, the other will start to hate you."


전원우
"..."


문준휘
"Even if you treat them well, if you just harass them, their favorability rating will continue to drop."


전원우
"Yeah... I know."


전원우
“But didn’t you like Suhana?”


문준휘
"Well... I don't see any place for me to fit in."


문준휘
"I think the male lead will either be Kwon Soon-young or you."


전원우
"..."
