First love has a time limit.
First Love (2)
Today is the day of the long-awaited(?) track and field competition.
I ended up becoming Jimin's manager, and because Jimin was attending a reunion, I ended up skipping school and ended up going to the venue.
Since I hate crowds, I grabbed Jimin's sleeve out of fear of being swept away by the crowd.
But...oh my-! It wasn't Jimin, it was Taehyung.
김태형
....what is it?
이여주
Ah-....sorry, I thought it was Jimin....
Just as I was about to let go, Taehyung grabbed my hand with his large one and didn't let go.
이여주
Oh, why is this happening?!
김태형
There are a lot of people here, so don't get lost and follow the directions carefully.
Miss, why does Taehyung look so cool today... I think I know why he's so popular.
So, I went into the waiting room holding Taehyung's hand (even though it was only a tent, so to speak)
Everyone's mouths were wide open.
박지민
Huh, huh...what?
전정국
Oh, are you guys dating?
박지민
no way...
이여주
That's not it!!! You guys get ready!!!
I screamed in embarrassment, turned around, and came out of the waiting room.
이여주
Huh-
Ever since I met Kim Taehyung... things seem to keep going wrong.
After a while, a tournament official came to our tent and told us to get ready because it was our turn. I called the kids over and headed to the stadium.
The events we participate in are individual sprints and relay races.
Now, individual short distance...
As a manager, I had to hand out water and towels to the players after they finished running, and I had to check and monitor their condition, so I sat next to them in the waiting area.
Every time our players came out, I was anxious and hoped they would do well.
Fortunately, Taehyung, Jimin, and Jungkook advanced to the finals.
Six athletes, including Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jimin, were waiting at the starting line for the starting signal, and they all seemed nervous.
After a moment of silence, it started off with a 'bang!' sound.
Jungkook made a small mistake at the start and fell behind, but he was able to catch up quickly and maintain third place despite the short distance.
And, Taehyung and Jimin fought back and forth for first and second place until the very end, but in the end, Taehyung won.
So the results were 1st place Kim Taehyung, 2nd place Park Jimin, 3rd place Jeon Jungkook. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place were all athletes from our school.
In addition, he was able to take first place in the relay race that followed after a fierce competition until the very end.

Everyone worked hard, and let's practice starting a little more, Jungkook.
전정국
yes.
박지민
Yeoju, I want water!
이여주
here!
김태형
me too.
이여주
....here!
김태형
he
For that moment, I was happy. For me, for the track team, but... from that day on, everything changed.
A few days later,
The track and field team, which had won awards and worked hard for about a week to rest, has started to gather again.
But that day...
김태형
....I....
Taehyung looks like he wants to say something but is reluctant to do so.
I felt uneasy... As expected, human intuition is amazing.
김태형
....I'm quitting the track and field club.
쌤
what?!
박지민
Hey! Kim Taehyung!
전정국
What is that?!
I couldn't help but be surprised. Taehyung, who dreamed of becoming a national track and field team member and was also exceptionally talented, suddenly quit track and field.
김태형
..My father was strongly against it...so I had no choice. I'm sorry..
This is ridiculous. This isn't right...
박지민
Tae...hyung...
전정국
....
쌤
...Yeah... Well, I guess there's nothing I can do. Come visit often from now on. You're always welcome.
김태형
Yes.. haha
Taehyung tried to force a smile, but it looked awkward.
The corners of his mouth were clearly turned up, but his eyes were wet with sadness.
이여주
...Taehyung.
김태형
..huh?
이여주
Cheer up! You can do anything!
김태형
Haha...thank you.
I wanted to comfort you.
After meeting Taehyung, everything went wrong, but I guess I've grown attached to him...
But I couldn't. That was all the comfort I could offer Taehyung.
That evening, I had to move in a hurry due to family circumstances.
Because it was far away, I had no choice but to transfer schools.
I couldn't even contact you.
Because it was damaged while moving,
Not long after we met and became close, I had no choice but to part ways with them.
☆Author's Point of View☆
That's how Taehyung's first love left.
He left suddenly without saying a word.
However, Taehyung did not hate Yeoju, he did not forget her and missed her.
김태형
Yeoju Lee... Even though it was a short meeting, you became precious to me.
김태형
I miss you... Lee Yeo-ju.
