Exists, but does not exist
Episode 16



윤정한
I was bullied when I was young too.


강여주
.... uh..?


윤정한
I was targeted because I was quiet.


윤정한
That time of being bullied became a trauma...


윤정한
Even now, when I see bullying like that, my heart aches.


윤정한
..when I was in middle school..


윤정한
I was bullied.


강여주
...

Jeonghan was also bullied...

It was an unexpected remark.

..so you were really surprised when I said I was bullied..


강여주
....

I didn't open my mouth for a long time.

My thoughts were complicated and words were hard to come out.

When I said nothing, Jeonghan smiled awkwardly.


윤정한
..you don't have to worry too much.


강여주
As long as you do something, everything will be fine.


강여주
You don't have to worry about it..


강여주
You really don't look okay at all, you..!!


윤정한
...

The smile disappeared from Jeonghan's face.

And then Jeonghan's eyes turned red.


윤정한
ah...

Tears began to fall from Jeonghan's eyes, drop by drop.


윤정한
... sorry..

Jeonghan wiped his tears with his sleeve.


강여주
...

I patted Jeonghan on the back without saying a word.

Seeing Jeonghan's body flinch, it seemed like he was slightly surprised.


강여주
We're in the same boat!

I forced a smile.

I wanted to lighten the dark atmosphere a little.


윤정한
... That's right

Jeonghan smiled faintly.


강여주
Where do you live?


윤정한
.. yes?


강여주
I'll take you there.


윤정한
..... yes..?


윤정한
Rather, I should take you...


강여주
How about I tell you after seeing your condition..?

Jeonghan quickly became speechless.


윤정한
.. all right

Jeonghan, unable to resist, guided me to his house.


윤정한
..here it is.

I didn't know we would ride the elevator together...


강여주
Uh.. yeah..


윤정한
..Thank you for bringing me here


강여주
.. No, go in quickly and rest for a bit.


윤정한
... yes

Jeonghan smiled faintly and went into the house.


강여주
Ah... I feel so exhausted...

I was so tired after dropping Jeonghan off at home.


강여주
Jeonghan was bullied too..

Jeonghan also had the same experience as me

For some reason I became more interested.

Who said that,

People are interested in people who are similar to themselves..

강여주
huh..?

오후 5:55

sound_of_coups
what are you doing?


강여주
uh..

After what happened with Jeonghan, I completely forgot about what happened with Seungcheol.

As soon as I saw Seungcheol's DM, my face turned red.

오후 5:57

Just stay there

After much thought, the answer I came up with was ‘just be there.’

How insincere it must look in Seungcheol's eyes...

I felt embarrassed for no reason.

오후 5:58

sound_of_coups
Oh, I see

오후 5:58

sound_of_coups
I'm sorry about earlier ㅠㅠ

Seungcheol also apologized right away, perhaps because he was concerned about what happened earlier.

오후 5:59

yeoj2o_r
Ah... that thing earlier...

오후 5:59

yeoj2o_r
It's okay, it was a mistake haha

오후 5:59

sound_of_coups
There's something I'm still so embarrassed about...

오후 5:59

yeoj2o_r
lol

오후 5:59

yeoj2o_r
so do i..

오후 6:00

sound_of_coups
From now on, I'll just buy it for you.

오후 6:01

yeoj2o_r
Huh? No no no, you don't have to do that!!

Is it normal for juniors to go straight ahead like this?

I laughed for no reason.

오후 6:03

sound_of_coups
senior

오후 6:03

yeoj2o_r

오후 6:03

sound_of_coups
If you have time tomorrow

My heart started beating fast.

오후 6:04

sound_of_coups
Do you want to see a movie?
