Exists, but does not exist

Episode 10

강여주

Sigh... what should I do...

I sat down on the bed and fell into deep thought.

강여주

Can I say all this..?

I began to regret telling Jeonghan everything.

But regretting it now won't change anything.

강여주

Ah.. I don't know..

I pulled myself together again and opened my workbook.

강여주

I have the college entrance exam next year... I should study...

-Drrrrr

고하율

Yeoju has arrived!

강여주

Ah.. hello

고하율

Lady, come quickly!

강여주

huh?

Ha-Yul and some of his friends were having a heated discussion near my seat.

고하율

You'd better know all your friends' secrets,

고하율

Or is it better to not know any of your friend's secrets?

고하율

Instead, among those secrets, there are some that are good to know and some that are not good to know!

강여주

huh..?

전원우

I... just don't know anything.

전원우

They say ignorance is bliss.

고하율

Yeah, yeah...

고하율

I think so too!

고하율

Yeoju, what about you?

강여주

Well... well...

윤정한

I know all the secrets!

고하율

Wow, surprise!!

Jeonghan suddenly appeared from behind and spoke.

강여주

...!

윤정한

Sorry for surprising you.. haha

Jeonghan smiled and handed me chocolate milk.

강여주

.. uh..?

윤정한

Drink!

I was flustered and dazed, and then I ended up getting chocolate milk.

고하율

..but why do you think it's better to know all the secrets?

윤정한

Knowing everything can help you think about that guy again!

윤정한

Even if there is a bad secret,

윤정한

If you don't mind that guy after knowing that

윤정한

It could even lead to a better friendship!

고하율

Now that I hear it, it seems like that...

Jeonghan looked at me and smiled.

Somehow, what we just talked about seemed to be related to me.

..even though I know all the facts, do you still not feel reluctant..?

윤정한

.. Anyway, I'm done with what I have to do here, so I'll go.

고하율

Oh, oh, okay, bye

강여주

...

고하율

What~ Aren't you going to say hello?

Jeonghan stood still and stared at me.

강여주

.. bye

I waved my hand in greeting.

Then, Jeonghan waved his hand as if he was satisfied.

고하율

What's going on between you two~?

강여주

..what? No...

전원우

...

전원우

Oh, my lady

강여주

uh..?

전원우

Do you want to go to a study cafe today?

강여주

ah..

I thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

강여주

Yeah, okay

Anyway, studying is urgent right now...

전원우

really?

전원우

Then after school-,

정다은

What are you doing now?

전원우

Huh? Why?

정다은

under..

Jeong Da-eun sighed.

And I smiled at Jeong Da-eun as if I knew nothing.

강여주

why?

정다은

Why..?

정다은

Are you laughing now?

It seems like Jung Da-eun couldn't hold back her anger.

전원우

...?

전원우

what's the matter..?

고하율

What is it..? Why is it like that..?

정다은

Are you really going to a study cafe?

Jeong Da-eun asked incredulously.

강여주

Are you going?

정다은

Have you forgotten again?

정다은

If you wag your tail one more time, I really can't stand it.

전원우

.. what?

정다은

I think you hit your head while traveling and your memory hasn't been good since?

Jeong Da-eun couldn't calm down and kept pushing me.

정다은

Jeon Won-woo said he'd give up~

정다은

I told you then...

정다은

I really can't stand it!!

Jeong Da-eun's voice grew louder.

전원우

What are you doing now..!

Wonwoo tried to calm Jeong Da-eun down.

정다은

I like you more..!

정다은

I can't let that bitch take it away..!!

고하율

what's the matter...!!

고하율

Calm down, Jeong Da-eun!!

Ha-Yul also looked quite flustered.

The sudden commotion caused all the children in the classroom to turn their attention towards us.

Jeonghan, who had just left the classroom, was also startled by the loud noise and was looking at us through the classroom door.

강여주

...

강여주

Should I recite the entire threat you made?

정다은

..!

정다은

...you were the one who did wrong first!!

정다은

You were the one who bit Jeon Won-woo!!

강여주

There are so many different types of nonsense.

When I thought that the reason Yeo-eun died was because of Jeong Da-eun's threats,

I couldn't stand it any longer and jumped up from my seat.

강여주

You threatened me that if I didn't give up Jeon Won-woo, you would call your friends and ostracize me.

I remembered what was written in Yeo-eun's diary and told her what Jeong Da-eun had threatened.

강여주

I was so scared of that that I said I would give up.

강여주

You asked me to push Jeon Won-woo and myself.

정다은

...

전원우

... what..?

강여주

But of course I didn't push it,

강여주

You were probably annoyed that I was being friendly with Wonwoo, right?

강여주

So that's why you threatened me again at the karaoke bar last time.

강여주

How scared I was...

강여주

Don't you know that I was stressed out and depressed because of that?

고하율

What is the situation now..?

정다은

....

정다은

If I tell you all that..!

It looks like Jeong Da-eun is also being stabbed.

강여주

...how hard it must have been..

강여주

Are you going to commit suicide?

Jeonghan's eyes widened as he watched from behind the classroom door.

전원우

.. what..?

강여주

Ah... no, I misspoke...

고하율

Jeong Da-eun.. Is this true..?

정다은

..I just..

정다은

Because I like Jeon Won-woo...

Jeong Da-eun hurried out of the classroom, tears streaming down her face.

고하율

..Hey, are you okay?

I sat down with a thud.

전원우

.. Did your friend Jeong Da-eun bully you?

강여주

...

I nodded quietly.

고하율

.. why..

고하율

Jeong Da-eun... I thought she was a good girl...

전원우

..I found out a bad secret.

Although there was nothing written in Yeo-eun's diary about how Jeong Da-eun and his friends bullied her...

It's true that I was extremely stressed because of Jeong Da-eun.

How much must it have been difficult for him to make such a choice?

My heart ached when I thought of Yeo-eun.

강여주

after..

전원우

... are you okay..?

I shook my head.

전원우

Infirmary... Do you want to go?

강여주

.... huh

전원우

Come on, I'll take you there.

Wonwoo reached out his hand to me.

I held Wonwoo's hand and got up with difficulty.

고하율

.. It must be hard, so take a rest

강여주

Yeah, thank you..

강여주

..are you really surprised..?

강여주

sorry..

전원우

.. no, it's okay..

???

Hey... wait a minute..!
