ferment.

4 p.m.

I couldn't contain my anger.

Even though it was Kim Taehyung, no, because it was Kim Taehyung, I hated this situation.

000

How could you do something like this!

My lips trembled and shook.

000

We're friends, you said.

000

I've only been talking to him for three days.

000

What do you want to do now?

I was so angry and annoyed that I cried.

I wiped the tears flowing from my cheeks with the back of my hand.

김태형 image

김태형

00ah.

000

shut up!

Unable to bear it any longer, I reached out and slapped Taehyung on the cheek.

Even though I was right, I was even more angry at the way he just looked at me.

김태형 image

김태형

You liked me.

김태형 image

김태형

Since middle school, right?

Kim Taehyung smiled despite his reddened right cheek.

I did the handjob one more time.

000

That's right.

000

I even tried to act like a bully on purpose to stick with you.

000

I didn't know you were this kind of kid.

Kim Taehyung looked calm even after being hit twice.

000

You ignored me.

김태형 image

김태형

I love you, 000.

000

Shit, shit. This is all so gross.

000

Are you guys playing a game with one person right now?

000

It's a week-long battle of who will flirt first, who will create more dramatic scenes, things like that?

000

Are you using my sickness as an object?

000

You psycho kids...

A monster's breathing sound came from my exhalation.

I thought it would be better to just go out there and be bold and strong.

So, just like in the drama, put in some effort.

김태형 image

김태형

000, what are you doing?

The ringer needle was removed.

In the drama, there was no problem pulling it out and running, but when I tried it myself, blood started to pool in my wrist.

After a while, it starts to fall.

Kim Taehyung looked at me intently, as if he was quite shocked.

000

Is this something that can happen in three days?

000

I don't know who tested me, but I'm just an ordinary student, not a tragic heroine.

000

I can't take it, I'm going to give up. I can't take it anymore, you fucking bastards...

My head is starting to spin.

I put on a long padding over my hospital gown and ran outside without thinking.

I had no idea where to go.

My mental strength was woefully inadequate to endure these many situations.

I just walked for a while out of the city, watching the red light spreading from the sleeves of the hospital gown.

I was thinking of going to see the river.

The snow piled up so thick that the insoles of my shoes kept sinking in.

???

00?

000

...

I turned my head to see who was calling.

000

Hoseok.

정호석 image

정호석

What's wrong with you, you're wearing that... Oh my goodness. Look at your puffy eyes.

정호석 image

정호석

There's blood coming out here, right?

Jeong Ho-seok looks up at me with worried eyes.

정호석 image

정호석

Let's go home first. There won't be anyone here, and I'm bleeding like this...

000

...Is it okay?

정호석 image

정호석

What's the problem?

Jeong Ho-seok smiles brightly at me.

I grab his hand as if possessed.

Could it be an angel?

정호석 image

정호석

This is our house. It's a bit small, though.

Hoseok took me to the first floor of an apartment building.

And then he carefully put some medicine and a Pororo band on my wrist.

000

Pororo.

정호석 image

정호석

Isn't it cute? It's a band that I've been buying since I was little in case I get hurt suddenly.

000

It's like Hoseok.

정호석 image

정호석

Am I cute?

I saw Jung Ho-seok acting cute in front of me,

Suddenly, Ho-seok asked.

정호석 image

정호석

Why did you cry?

I opened my mouth to explain the situation.

000

Min Yoongi was on his way to eat with me earlier.

000

Suddenly, Kim Taehyung came in and started arguing with Min Yoongi.

000

And... and.

The tears burst out again.

They say that once a person cries, they cry well, and this time, I might be shedding all the tears I've shed in a month.

000

And, and as I was about to run away.

000

I stumbled and ended up in Kim Taehyung's arms, and ended up in Min Yoongi's arms.

There's another squeaking sound.

I tried to hold back, but it didn't seem to work.

I try to wipe away my tears with all my might, but Hoseok grabs my hand.

정호석 image

정호석

Just cry your eyes out, 00.

정호석 image

정호석

It must be hard to be treated like that for three days.

정호석 image

정호석

Just lean on me, cry, and forget about everything. Okay?

정호석 image

정호석

Today is Friday, and you have two days off starting tomorrow, so just get some rest. That'll do.

Hoseok patted me and hugged me.

000

Yeah, yeah Hoseok, ah.

I felt my hands and feet go numb.

And then I hugged Hoseok and started crying.

000

Hoseok.

정호석 image

정호석

huh?

000

I feel dizzy because I cry a lot.

000

The world is spinning. I feel like you're going to disappear soon.

000

A whirlpool just formed.

정호석 image

정호석

00ah.

000

why.

정호석 image

정호석

Let's take a picture after everyone cries.

000

Your eyes will be swollen?

정호석 image

정호석

What does it matter, 00 is pretty.

000

No, I don't think so.

정호석 image

정호석

When we're all done crying, let's go find a pretty background and go out.

000

Is it still snowing?

정호석 image

정호석

Yeah, it's still snowing.

정호석 image

정호석

Time seems to have stopped.

000

Don't joke around, it's creepy.

정호석 image

정호석

That's because I wish time would stop.

000

Hoseok.

정호석 image

정호석

huh?

000

I wish this was all a dream.

000

Just like usual, Jiwon and Chanmi like Taehyung.

000

I wish I woke up and realized it was a dream.

정호석 image

정호석

00ah.

000

why.

정호석 image

정호석

00ah.

000

what's the matter.

정호석 image

정호석

00ah.

000

...Are you kidding me?

정호석 image

정호석

It's a dream.

정호석 image

정호석

Let's just say it's all a dream.

정호석 image

정호석

It's a dream that can't be broken.

정호석 image

정호석

Tomorrow is a new day.

정호석 image

정호석

Let's pretend it never happened, 00.

정호석 image

정호석

If it's too hard and too evil a dream, I'll wake you up.

정호석 image

정호석

I'll wake you up gently, saying "00ah."

정호석 image

정호석

So, if you wake up crying, let's go see the snow.

정호석 image

정호석

Let's get up and go see the snow.

정호석 image

정호석

Let's laugh under the pouring snow.

정호석 image

정호석

It's the first snow of the year, 00.

000

First snow...

000

It's the first snow.

정호석 image

정호석

What's important?

정호석 image

정호석

Everything is okay.

000

...Are you serious?

정호석 image

정호석

huh.

정호석 image

정호석

I don't like to capture ugly things on camera.

정호석 image

정호석

I think it would be beautiful if it had just eyes and 00.

정호석 image

정호석

A beautiful and cute picture.

000

...even a joke.

000

I'm ugly too.

정호석 image

정호석

You are beautiful.

정호석 image

정호석

Don't say such things. 000.

000

Hoseok.

정호석 image

정호석

huh.

000

Do you like me?

정호석 image

정호석

...

000

That's bullshit, sorry.

정호석 image

정호석

i like you.

000

...

정호석 image

정호석

I like it, really.

000

...It's only been two days for you too.

정호석 image

정호석

You've liked me for half a year.

000

There are many people who like you.

정호석 image

정호석

Among them, 00 shines the most.

000

...cold.

정호석 image

정호석

I know.

정호석 image

정호석

I guess it's because it's snowing.

Hello, I am a writer.

Why is there a long conversation scene with Hoseok at the end?

This episode is actually about the pain 00 suffered for 3 days.

This painting was created to realistically express the feeling of losing one's mentality.

In this state, people tend to trust those who give them space to lean on.

Whether that person is good or bad.

As a side note, there is a pure Korean wordplay in this article.

Hoseok describes 00 as 'beautiful' or 'pretty'.

Here, pretty does not mean pretty in the past,

It meant pitiful.

Thank you for always reading!
