Chronicles of Unrequited Love

00

I had that dream.

A very dreamy and sweet dream, one you don't want to get out of

A dream of smiling and holding hands with a child you like and playing together

But when I woke up from the dream and realized that it was a dream,

I just sighed as if it was futile.

When I opened my eyes, light came in through the curtains, as if to tell me that it was morning.

I had that dream again.

I've been having dreams these past few days where I'm hanging out with that kid.

It's been a long time since I gave up on you

After leaving my empty mind behind and completing all preparations, I came to school.

I tried to close my eyes to dream that dream again in the chaotic atmosphere, but my eyes wouldn't close.

친구 1

Hey hey, there's a transfer student coming to our class today.

친구 2

Oh really? Are you a girl or a boy? What's your name?

친구 1

Hey, ask them one by one. He's a man, and his name is Kwon Soon-young...? He seems to be talking to his homeroom teacher in the teachers' office right now.

Kwon Soon-young...? The Kwon Soon-young I know...?

The moment I heard Sunyoung's name, a past I would never forget came to mind.

When I was young, I was often teased by my friends because of my exotic appearance, which was a bit different from other people's.

There was only one reason why I always tried to go to kindergarten regularly.

It's because of Kwon Soon-young.

At first, I had no feelings for Kwon Soon-young.

I just thought of him as a kid who took my side just to get praise from the teachers.

However, after the day when Kwon Soon-young took the stones flying at me in the kindergarten playground, those feelings changed to affection.

But... I haven't been able to see Sunyoung since that day.

It's been over 10 years since I last saw Kwon Soon-young.

The memory still comes back vividly.

Although I have now given up on it

I guess you can't forget your first unrequited love.

"Okay, everyone, take your seats. I'll check on those who aren't here, so sit down quickly. If you don't, you'll be marked late. By the way, Hee-ah said she's coming back from the hospital, so let the subject teachers know."

At the homeroom teacher's words, the children murmured and moved to their seats.

I have two announcements for you today. First, starting today, seniors and juniors will be forming groups and participating in club activities. The groups have already been formed, so all you have to do is go to the club classroom.

학생들

yes~

And the second is, as everyone who knows already knows, a transfer student came today.

Transfer student... Is that really Sunyoung?

The thought that it would be nice if the Soonyoung I know came dominated my mind.

담임

Okay, Sunyoung, come in.

When Soonyoung came in, I couldn't hide my surprised expression.

That Sunyoung was the Sunyoung I knew.

담임

"Soonyoung transferred here because of her father's job. There are no seats, so she can sit in that empty seat over there for now. Yeoju, take good care of Soonyoung, and when Heeah comes, bring a chair so we can share a desk just for today."

김여주

Oh, yes

담임

Then everyone, get ready for the first period~

Sunyoung came to sit next to me. I wonder if Sunyoung remembers me?

I wish Soonyoung would remember me.

권순영

Hey there... Huh? Are you Kim Yeo-ju from Home Run Kindergarten?

Sunyoung remembered me.

I was so happy and surprised that I was speechless.

권순영

Uh... no? If not, sorry.

김여주

Oh no, that's right. Home Run Kindergarten's Kim Yeo-ju.

권순영

Wow, really? You really haven't changed at all. I missed you.

Yeah, me too. I missed you so much too.

Why haven't you been to kindergarten since that incident?

I'm sorry about that time.

I missed you. And I liked you.

There was so much I wanted to say, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Hello, this is Chanel.

샤넬

I'm so happy to be able to communicate with you all through this first work ☺️

샤넬

I've tried my best to be accurate with spelling and spacing, but please understand that there may be some mistakes.

샤넬

It's a free series, but I'll be posting often. Since I'm a student, there will be times when I'll be a little late due to studying and other reasons. Of course, I'll be posting almost as often as I can. 😏

샤넬

We'll also be hosting a variety of events throughout the series. Subscribers can write posts with their names, ask questions like "What if the story flows the way you want it to?", and more...

샤넬

Although my writing skills are lacking, I will work harder to become a Chanel 😉

샤넬

Was my story long? Sorry. Haha. I hope you all enjoyed it. See you in the next episode. ☺️❤️
