16_Are you okay? #WishPoint

[At a certain point in time]

There are many things I want to ask Yerin these days.

Yerin seems to be avoiding us (Sojung, Eunbi, Yuna, and Yewon) a little.

No, to be exact, I think he's trying to keep some distance.

I don't know why, because I never asked.

Come to think of it, it was the same when I started becoming close with Yerin.

Even then, Yerin kept her distance from everyone and walked around alone.

The more I approached Yerin, the more I wanted to become close to her.

Yerin seemed more curious than burdened or happy.

Why are you approaching someone like me?

Actually, it hasn't been long since I became close with Yerin.

Yet, what we can see is that Yerin doesn't seem to know how precious and valuable she is.

Moreover, Yerin does not like to reveal her inner feelings.

So when I think about Yerin, it's all about appearances, and I don't know her true feelings.

I don't know about other kids, but at least that's how I feel.

Yerin is very mature and secretive.

Don't talk about yourself, don't show it when you're hurt, and solve the problem rationally.

I'm sure he would have been hurt and already cried, but he doesn't.

How does Yerin live in a place I don't know?

How can you live so secretly and hide your true feelings?

When I look at Yerin, there are countless questions I want to ask right away.

A strange feeling of sadness also comes to mind.

I feel like I'm living too old for my age.

Because I matured too early at an age when I should have been still young.

I wish I could show it even a little, but I don't and I'm suffering alone.

We can listen to you anytime,

If only Yerin could open her heart,

I didn't do that because I had a lot of injuries.

Even though we want to hug Yerin, we are blocked by the wall that Yerin herself has built.

I can't help but look at Yerin, who is lonely and struggling.

That is probably the most painful and regrettable situation as a friend.

One day, I just watched Yerin silently.

At least I can watch over Yerin in the space where I am with her.

I really wanted to know what kind of person Yerin was.

I told the kids I had a headache and was going to lie down.

정은비

Oh my... my head hurts??ㅠ

김예원

Don't get sickㅜㅜ

황은비

Are you in a lot of pain?

최유나

Can I not go to the infirmary?

김소정

Yeah, that's not it haha

The children left behind a word of concern,

Soon he moved away from me.

At that time, I felt a strange sense of regret.

Maybe it was because I wasn't really sick, but I felt like they were playing around without me, but that feeling soon disappeared.

정예린

.....Do you have a headache?

Yerin approached and asked in her characteristically calm tone of voice.

김소정

Yeah.. haha

정예린

If you're sick, do you want to go to the infirmary? I'll take you there.

김소정

No, it's okay

정예린

Are you really okay...?

정예린

I think it would be better to go now rather than holding back for no reason...

김소정

No, really, it's okay

정예린

....huh..

정예린

I'll tell the teacher, so lie down for a bit during class.

김소정

Yeah, thank you haha

It's clearly a similar thing, but it feels different than before.

The words the kids said felt like, 'They're saying this because it hurts.'

The things Yerin said seemed like they were said out of genuine concern.

But what hurt my heart a little was,

When I told you not to hold back.

It's like I'm talking about myself.

김소정

(mumbles) What kind of life have you been living...

That's how I watched Yerin during class and break time.

김소정

.......Huh? What is it...?

And then, I discovered something.

Yerin was laughing brightly while talking with the kids.

As I turned around after hitting the paper, Yerin's bright smile slowly disappeared.

Ssa - Only a blank expression remained, with only one energy hovering around.

But Yerin didn't change her expression, as if she felt more comfortable with a blank expression than with a smile.

정은비

:(= whisper) Yerin!

When Eunbi called Yerin,

정예린

: huh?

Yerin quickly changed her expressionless face to a bright one and answered the call.

정은비

: How many pages is it...?? Hehe

정예린

: Haha the textbook is 108 pages, the print is 26 pages

정은비

: thank you!

When Eunbi turned her head,

Yerin once again went to class with an expressionless face.

Maybe, even when Yerin smiles, her "real" expression will be expressionless.

Or I thought it might be a crying face.

And at the same time, I wondered what color our existence was to Yerin.

Is it a black color that only adds to someone's darkness?

Or is it a bright color that can be seen even in the dark?

Are we trustworthy people to Yerin?

Perhaps, even if they are a trustworthy person, you cannot "completely" trust them.

So, without revealing his true face to us,

You keep hiding the person named "Jeong Ye-rin"

It's okay to be teasy, but I wish you would do that.

Yerin can't entrust herself to us.

Not even a little bit.

Every time that happens, what fills me is a little bit of regret.

It was a worry that was several times, no, dozens of times more than the sadness.

I wonder how many times he must have been hurt and burned to be able to trust people so much.

Only worry and sadness come first.

However, because there were many injured places, I couldn't approach them carelessly.

So, I feel really sorry for myself, who can only watch even after guessing at Yerin's condition.

What can I do?

What to do and what not to do

How can I stay with this good person for a long time?

Yerin, I wish you could tell me a little bit.

Just a little...can't you just open up to me a little bit..?

I want to ask you just three questions, and I want to be sincere.

Are you okay?

" are you okay? "

Said.
