You at Dawn_Episode 1
나
The moment I heard that, I think I lost my mind.

After hurling abusive language at them both, I wanted to get out of there right away.

Without even thinking about what would happen next, I just roughly packed my luggage into my carrier and ran out.
Drrrrrrrrrr
In the quiet dawn, the sound of a suitcase wheel rolling echoes through the apartment complex.
After wandering for a while, my footsteps stopped in front of a convenience store.

“…….Cigarettes.. Anything please..”
알바생
“Yes..?? Is there any product you are looking for separately..?”
The part-timer asks with a puzzled expression.
나
“Please give me anything that is selling well…”
알바생
“Uh… Then… I’ll give you something that a lot of women buy… Would you like a lighter too?”
나
“Ah… yes… please give me one..”

“I will help you pay 5,500 won, including the lighter.”
I tried to ignore the part-timer who kept looking at my face, and picked a card out of my wallet and handed it to him.

“Payment has been completed. Thank you.”

"….. thank you.."
He stuffed the cigarettes he had in his hand into his pocket, dragged his carrier, and headed to the pavilion at the entrance of the apartment building, as if he was afraid someone would see him.
Since when did my life become so twisted?
‘The sight of someone anxiously buying a 5,000 won bill, worried that their balance might be insufficient...’
"At this age, you want to try smoking, and you ask for the best one without even knowing the name?"
The part-timer's pitiful eyes are still vivid in my mind.
What did you think I was doing…
… … . Is this the time to worry about other people? I feel like I could end up on the street at any moment…

under…
He lay down in the pavilion with a cigarette in his mouth.
If I hadn't known that you have to inhale when you light a cigarette, I would probably look even funnier now.
When I was a student, I was a member of the broadcasting club and filmed a short public service advertisement to submit to a video festival.
Since the topic was smoking, cigarettes were needed to film the video.
Fortunately, one of my classmates' fathers smoked, so a friend of mine brought him some cigarettes, so we were able to film safely.
No matter how many times I lit a cigarette to film, it wouldn't light.
A friend who was watching from the side told me that when lighting a fire, you have to inhale to make it light.
My friend, seeing me hesitate at those words, lit a cigarette for me, and that's how we finished filming for the video submission on a Saturday afternoon in an empty school.
I remember feeling nervous because I thought I was doing something strangely bad and I didn't want to get caught.
As I recalled that memory, I put a cigarette in my mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath, just as I had learned.

Knock knock knock knock
Without realizing it, I jumped up from my seat and coughed for a long time.
After a long time of coughing, I could feel the acrid smoke, along with the sweet, bubblegum-like scent, settling deep in my lungs.
나
… … … .. Why on earth do people smoke… …
He lay down again and looked up at the sky, smoking a cigarette.
I hear a noise from somewhere.
I turned my head while lying down and saw Kim Taehyung standing there.
