Come to that alley we always talk about.

오후 7:24

Oh, I see

I left the house with only my cell phone.

I ran into the alley.

It was because I was anxious, thinking that Jeonghan might be waiting for me for a long time.

강여주 image

강여주

Jeonghan!!

Jeonghan was standing still, leaning against the wall, waiting for me.

When I called Jeonghan, he found me and smiled brightly.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Sister!

강여주 image

강여주

Do you have anything to say?

Jeonghan shook his head.

윤정한 image

윤정한

no,

윤정한 image

윤정한

I want to give you something!

Jeonghan handed me chocolate and jelly.

My hands were full of chocolate and jelly.

강여주 image

강여주

What is this...

윤정한 image

윤정한

When you're feeling down, eating something sweet will make you feel better!

윤정한 image

윤정한

..is it just me

강여주 image

강여주

... uh?

강여주 image

강여주

No..! Me too..!

윤정한 image

윤정한

Right?

Jeonghan looked depressed for a moment, but his expression quickly relaxed.

윤정한 image

윤정한

I told you to come out so I could give you this!

강여주 image

강여주

... thank you

I stared at the chocolate and jelly and smiled.

윤정한 image

윤정한

..and sister-,

강여주 image

강여주

My mother collapsed.

윤정한 image

윤정한

....... yes?!

For some reason, I wanted to tell Jeonghan everything.

Jeonghan must be someone I can rely on without even realizing it.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Your mother collapsed...?

강여주 image

강여주

.. huh

강여주 image

강여주

I went home in a hurry earlier,

강여주 image

강여주

That's what my father called me to talk about.

윤정한 image

윤정한

ah....

Jeonghan suddenly became speechless.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Are you at the hospital?

강여주 image

강여주

... huh

윤정한 image

윤정한

I have to go quickly..!

강여주 image

강여주

My father didn't tell me where the hospital was.

윤정한 image

윤정한

.. yes..?

윤정한 image

윤정한

What is that...

강여주 image

강여주

I don't know either..

I smiled bitterly.

For a moment, tears came to my eyes, but I held them back.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Sister, some jelly

강여주 image

강여주

.. uh?

강여주 image

강여주

here..

Jeonghan suddenly asked for the jelly he had given back.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Eat, quickly

Jeonghan opened the jelly bag, took out one jelly, and handed it to me.

I naturally opened my mouth and took it.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Eating something sweet will relieve some stress.

강여주 image

강여주

...

I quietly chewed the jelly.

Just as Jeonghan said, I felt a little better.

윤정한 image

윤정한

I'll take you there.

윤정한 image

윤정한

Go home quickly and get some rest.

Jeonghan grabbed my wrist and walked out of the alley.

강여주 image

강여주

..you don't know my house

윤정한 image

윤정한

.. tell me

Jeonghan released the hand that was holding my wrist and smiled shyly.

강여주 image

강여주

This is our house

윤정한 image

윤정한

... ah..

강여주 image

강여주

Thanks for bringing me!

I smiled brightly at Jeonghan.

윤정한 image

윤정한

.. Yes, I enjoy eating chocolate and jelly..!

I nodded.

강여주 image

강여주

bye

윤정한 image

윤정한

yes..!

I waved to Jeonghan and went inside the house.

As soon as I got home, I jumped into bed in my room.

강여주 image

강여주

I can never study in this condition.

I rationalized to myself and postponed my studies.

..and it shouldn't have been delayed like that.

~ Time passed and passed, and on the day of the second semester midterm exam ~

As soon as I entered the classroom, Ha-Yul hit me.

고하율 image

고하율

Does math make sense from day one..?

고하율 image

고하율

Sigh, really...

고하율 image

고하율

Ha-Yul continued to whine.

강여주 image

강여주

고하율 image

고하율

Hey, what's going on with Kang Yeo-ju?

고하율 image

고하율

강여주 image

강여주

The homeroom teacher entered the classroom silently.

선생님

고하율 image

고하율

Well... I didn't mean it that way either...

선생님
