Ex-boyfriend's obsession

1. First meeting

The first place we met was in a college lecture hall.

Since Myung Jae-hyun and I were in the same department at the same school, we ran into each other a lot.

Were you close from the beginning? No, that's not it.

...I was really confused when I first saw it.

*Recalling our first proper meeting*

교수

Are you all here? Let me check your attendance.

Right now I'm in the classroom taking my major classes.

When I looked around, all I saw were awkward people.

Freshman orientation? I saw everyone there, but I didn't really become close with anyone there.

교수

Kim Yeo-ju.

김여주

(Startled) Yes..!!

교수

...Myung Jae-hyun.

The silence flows.

교수

...Isn't there a student named Myung Jae-Hyeon?

(Sound of door opening) CLACK.

명재현 image

명재현

Myung Jae-hyun is here!!

교수

...Today, you will be recognized as present, but next time, you will be marked as late. Do you understand, Myung Jae-hyun?

명재현 image

명재현

Yes, I understand. Sorry.

교수

Go and sit down quickly.

명재현 image

명재현

thank you

Myung Jae-hyun looking for a place to sit.

I was desperately trying not to look at Myung Jae-hyun and was only looking at my major textbook.

Don't come here.. Don't come here. Please.

명재현 image

명재현

(in a small voice) Hello. Can I sit next to you?

Ha... why are my ominous feelings never wrong? There's a seat there too.

김여주

....Yes, please sit down.

명재현 image

명재현

I didn't say anything at all at the freshman orientation. I was curious.

명재현 image

명재현

So I deliberately sat next to him.

Did you find out what I really thought?

I was wondering why I was sitting here...

김여주

Oh, I see.

명재현 image

명재현

Your name is Yeoju, right? I remembered your name because it was pretty.

김여주

..Yes, thank you.

김여주

The name Myung Jae-hyun is also... cool.

The thing I remember from the freshman welcome party is,

He was a really noisy person.

So I didn't want to get involved.

Because I felt like my energy was being sucked in so badly.

명재현 image

명재현

How old are you?

김여주

I'm 20 years old.

명재현 image

명재현

Oh, we're friends. Shall we talk?

교수

Who is this noisy during class?

교수

I see, it looks like you're student Myung Jae-hyun.. Is that right, student Myung Jae-hyun?

명재현 image

명재현

Oh... no... Professor! What on earth do you think of me?

교수

Because we have already figured out Myung Jae-Hyeon's personality.

교수

Our department is famous for being the noisiest.

A classroom filled with laughter.

명재현 image

명재현

Oh, why are you all laughing!! It's not me.

명재현 image

명재현

I was just quietly listening to the class, Professor.

교수

(Laughing) Okay, I see.

교수

Let's continue.

The professor starts class again.

명재현

(Write something on a piece of paper and hand it over.)

김여주

?

"Let's talk."

김여주

(Write down the answer and hand it over.)

"okay."

명재현 image

명재현

(in a very quiet voice) ...Listen for a minute.

김여주

?

명재현 image

명재현

(tapping his own ear) Ear.

명재현 image

명재현

(Whispering) Do you have some time after class?

김여주

(Nodding)

명재현 image

명재현

(laugh)

...when class was over and everyone was moving.

명재현 image

명재현

Lady!

김여주

...huh.

명재현 image

명재현

Shall we have lunch together later? What's your next class?

김여주

I am cultured.

명재현 image

명재현

Oh, really?

명재현 image

명재현

When does it end?

김여주

....1 o'clock.

명재현 image

명재현

Um... really?

김여주

..I saw a lot of people looking for you earlier. Eat with them.

김여주

Don't wait for me.

명재현 image

명재현

I want to eat with you.

김여주

Why? Do you have something to say?

김여주

If you have something to say, say it now. I have some free time.

명재현 image

명재현

No.. I don't really have anything to say.

명재현 image

명재현

I just wanted to eat together.

김여주

what's the matter?

김여주

I wonder if I don't have anyone to eat with?

명재현 image

명재현

Absolutely not, don't say that.

명재현 image

명재현

I'm doing this because I want to become close with you.

김여주

Why do you want to be friends with me?

명재현 image

명재현

..Do you need a reason to want to be friends with me?

명재현 image

명재현

I just want to be friends.

명재현 image

명재현

Anyway, eat with me. I'll know that.

명재현 image

명재현

Tell me where the classroom is, I'll wait.

김여주

...You don't have class?

명재현 image

명재현

huh.

김여주

Then go home. Why are you eating? It's still early.

명재현 image

명재현

I live alone. I have to eat out anyway.

김여주

...Okay, then let's go together.

명재현 image

명재현

okay.
