ferment.
2pm


- Jeong Ho-seok, he is,

I stand on the roof of a building and quietly look down at the floor. It's only a five-story building, though.

The feeling of stepping on a platform at that height is really...

It's fun.

Especially when you see people passing by without knowing anything.


정호석
It's snowing, who's running so hard?

The person who ran away before the candy in his mouth had even melted was definitely Min Yoongi.

I'm going to do something ugly again.


정호석
Should I take my camera and go out?

At the hospital, where I deliberately walked more slowly, I saw them through the glass window in the door.

Pretty, 00.

yunki min.


정호석
From this position it looks like they're kissing.


정호석
...Eureka.

I smiled and took pictures of them with my camera.

I took two or three pictures and took a step back from the door.

000
...What is that?

Did you notice,

I ran to the photo studio at a brisk pace. I quickly developed these photos.

Let's show it to Kim Taehyung.


정호석
Dirty, dirty.

Ugly is the most beautiful thing, isn't it?

The lens disappeared like an illusion. I must have seen it wrong.

Min Yoongi... is just looking at me without saying anything.

Maybe you're looking out the window at the snow falling,


민윤기
Aren't you hungry?

000
not really.


민윤기
I didn't eat hospital food.

You lay down a mat.

000
...uh.


민윤기
It's stressful. You need to eat well to feel better.

000
When you're sick, you're hungrier. If you eat a lot, you gain weight.

It was true. When you're sick, your appetite increases... and the idea that you become pale is definitely nonsense.


민윤기
I'll buy it for you.

000
What kind of money do you have as a student? That's okay.


민윤기
...Do I look like a beggar to you?

000
Just a little bit?

It was meant as a joke, but it seemed to have worked. Min Yoongi's expression softened slightly.


민윤기
Come down. I'll buy it for you.


민윤기
There was a lot of food for sale in the store.

Min Yoongi helped me up. He grabbed the IV tube and took a step.

Then the hospital room door opens.



김태형
...

Your expression looks really bad. Are you upset about something?

000
Taehyung, hello.


김태형
Are you dating Min Yoongi?

Suddenly? What did you do?

000
Huh? No... no.


김태형
What did you take from me yesterday? You said you'd do it for me, girlfriend.


민윤기
...what?


김태형
You said you'd give me a girlfriend, 00. You said you'd accept.


김태형
...We've only been dating for a day, and you're cheating on me?

000
Taehyung, what we talked about yesterday.


민윤기
000.

Min Yoongi suddenly looked angry. His eyes looked like he was going to trample on me.


김태형
Who are you to call his name?

Why are all the kids I thought were nice so scary? Hoseok, Taehyung...


민윤기
000, are you dating him?


김태형
You're dating. Who are you to be kissing her here?

What? Who said that?

000
Never, Taehyung. Really.


민윤기
What if I kiss you? What's your problem?


민윤기
000. I asked if he was dating her.

000
No, no! I said no! Please, both of you, listen to me.


김태형
Min Yoongi. Why do you say things like that?


김태형
You're my lover. You're dating me. Don't you understand what I'm saying? You're the kind of person I shouldn't mess with.


김태형
How dare you? Why are you kissing someone else? Is that your hobby? Did you get addicted after dating Joo Si-jin?

000
No, please listen to me! I said we're not dating!


민윤기
Kid, there are things you can say and things you can't say. Speak carefully.


민윤기
Who am I to act like a jerk in front of others and then act like a jerk behind their backs?


김태형
What the hell? Hey, you do it more. Hang out with the kids who are just like you.

000
No, fuck, listen to me! I'm not dating anyone! Hey! Min Yoongi!

I grabbed Min Yoongi's arm urgently.

And Min Yoongi ran towards Kim Taehyung, pushing his shoulder.


민윤기
Water quality? Damn it, speak clearly. Who are the people with the same water quality as me?

I was dragged away and then I fell out.


김태형
You punk, you punk. Is there anything else? You're human trash, so there's no woman who'll match yours.

Thinking there was no answer, I pushed the ringer forward without even grabbing the pedestal it was hanging from and ran.

But I must have misstepped along the way.

000
Ugh...!

I ended up running to Kim Taehyung and hugging him. I pushed Min Yoongi away.


김태형
I guess he didn't want to stick with a kid like you, 00.

000
Wait, I fell. No one hates me, I really...

I stepped back and shook my head at Min Yoongi.


민윤기
...Fuck.

But Min Yoongi looked at me once, then pushed Kim Taehyung away and went outside.
