[Contest] Goddess Joohee

03. Maejeong Joohee

"are you okay..."

I patted Joohee on the back.

After a while, Joohee stopped crying.

"Did you all cry?"

Joohee nodded with tears still in her eyes.

"Let's go now."

I held Joohee's hand tightly.

And pulled him towards me.

Joohee looked slightly surprised.

And Joohee's face gradually became redder, and even her ears turned bright red.

I said with a chuckle.

"You look just like a tomato."

Then Joohee smiled brightly with tears still in her eyes.

"Oh, I laughed!"

Then Joohee smiled even brighter.

"Do you know what happens when you cry and then laugh?"

조주희

"...What will happen?"

"Oh, Joohee is a foreigner, so I don't know..."

"It's a secret. You might be shocked if you find out."

As I spoke and smiled, Joohee smiled again.

When we smiled and our eyes met,

We all burst out laughing at the same time, without exception.

At first it was a brief smile, but it turned into laughter and became difficult to hold back.

So we continued to laugh.

We should have stopped laughing now, but when we looked at each other's faces, we laughed again.

It was as if I had been infected with the 'laughter virus'.

After a while, we stopped laughing and walked to the classroom.

...holding each other's hands tightly.

A lot of time has passed.

And then Joohee and I became high school students...

We now go to Poca High School.

But one day after class, I received a text message from Joohee.

조주희

[See you in front of the school at 9 o'clock]

As expected, it was a concise message, typical of Joohee.

[okay]

I changed into some nice clothes, texting and humming a song.

And I waited anxiously until 9 o'clock.

When I arrived in front of the school, for some reason Joohee was already there.

Joohee always shows up on time...

I began to have an uneasy feeling.

"You're here already?"

조주희

"huh."

If it were the original Joohee, she would have teased me more by chatting more.

Joohee didn't say anything in response.

"Why, what's going on?"

조주희

"huh."

조주희

"Let's break up."

....?!?!?!?!?!

"Wh, what are you talking about?!?!?!"

"Why all of a sudden???"

조주희

"I can't tell you why."

조주희

"You'll be seeing me often, so when you do... say hello."

With those harsh words, Joohee turned her back and left.

...

"what..."
