[Contest] Goddess Joohee
02. Hyangsu Joohee
...
I closed my eyes tightly.
But there was only a sound and no feeling.
'what...?'
Let's carefully open our eyes,
Joohee's reddened wrist was visible.
Joohee had a troubled expression.
"Joohee!"
I was surprised and hurriedly approached Joohee.
"are you okay?!?!"
조주희
"It's okay. It's nothing..."
"What do you mean it's not!!"
I got angry without realizing it.
I grabbed Joohee's other wrist and pulled.
"Let's go to the infirmary."
조주희
...
Joohee followed me without saying anything.

"I think I slightly sprained my wrist. But it's wrapped tightly in a bandage, so it'll be okay. Be sure to go to the hospital and get checked out after this."
조주희
"...yes..."
When I got back, class was already over.
"Let's go back to class."
But then suddenly Joohee called me over.
조주희
"wait for a sec."
I turned around and looked at Joohee.
조주희
"I have something to say."
"What is it?"
조주희
"You might know..."
조주희
"I'm not Korean."
I had a vague idea, but I didn't know he was actually a foreigner.
I didn't think my Korean was particularly awkward, but I thought my speech was really short and concise.
"Then what country are you from? China?"
조주희
"Taiwan, not China."
"Aren't China and Taiwan the same place? Isn't Taiwan within China?"
Joohee's expression darkened slightly.
"Oh, no! Sorry, I was mistaken..."
조주희
"And I'm a trainee."
"Trainee? Idol trainee?"
조주희
"huh."
"what?!?!?!"
조주희
"So I was cast in Taiwan and came to Korea."
"amazing..."
Joohee smiled brightly at my words that she was amazing.
"Don't you miss your hometown?"
조주희
At my words, Joohee's eyes suddenly sparkled.
"Joohee, are you crying?!"
Joohee didn't say anything.
Tears flowed from Joohee's eyes.
"It's okay, Joohee..."
As I said that, I gently wiped away the tears that had flowed down Joohee's cheeks and chin.
And then he lightly patted Joohee's back.
"It's okay... It's okay."
At my words, Joohee cried even more.
It felt like all the emotions I had never been able to express before were coming rushing back at me at once.
