Got targeted by handsome bullies starting the new semester? - Episode 31 (Past)
여주,대휘 어머니
Daehwi, you have to take good care of your older sister. Got it?
어린 대휘
Yeah, I'll protect you, noona.
여주,대휘 어머니
Our Daehwi is so kind..
Mother stroked Daehwi's head and wiped away the tears gently flowing with her sleeve.
While sitting there blankly like that,
The female protagonist opened her eyes, looked around for a moment, and then suddenly jumped out of bed.
여주,대휘 어머니
Are you okay, Yeoju?
어린 여주
O...Mom...
여주,대휘 어머니
It's okay, my daughter..
The mother hugged Yeoju and patted her back, saying
The female protagonist, who had been on the verge of tears, calmed down a little, and her mother asked.
여주,대휘 어머니
Yeoju, do you want to rest a little?
어린 여주
I want to go home.
여주,대휘 어머니
Can you get up?
어린 여주
Yes, it can happen.
The female protagonist got out of bed and said as she put on her shoes.
여주,대휘 어머니
Yeah, let's go home and rest.
어린 여주
Mom, I'm hungry.
여주,대휘 어머니
Okay, let's eat.
여주,대휘 어머니
Just wait a little while
어린 대휘
You're okay now, right?
어린 여주
Yeah, it's okay.
어린 여주
Do you want me to help Daehwi with his homework?
어린 대휘
No, but you shouldn't get sick, so rest.
어린 여주
It really doesn't hurt...
어린 대휘
Then help me later.
어린 여주
..huh
여주,대휘 어머니
Yeoju, Daehwi, eat your meal.
어린 여주
yes
어린 대휘
Yes~
어린 여주
thank you for this food
여주,대휘 어머니
Eat a lot, Yeoju.
여주,대휘 어머니
Daehwido
어린 대휘
yes
After finishing the meal
어린 여주
Daehwi, let's do homework.
어린 대휘
yes
어린 여주
This is like this..
어린 여주
Got it?
어린 대휘
Hmm... then the answer is number 2?
어린 여주
Yeah, that's right.
어린 여주
Our Daehwi is doing well, isn't he?
어린 대휘
yes
어린 여주
Now that I've finished my homework, let's go to sleep.
어린 대휘
okay
Daehwi said as he put his book and pencil case into his bag.
어린 여주
Mom, we'll go to sleep first.
여주,대휘 어머니
Okay, go to bed early.
어린 여주
yes
어린 여주
I got a text...
어린 동현
Did you get home safely?
어린 여주
-huh
어린 여주
Sorry for seeing this late
Yeoju sent a text message, placed her phone on the bed, and changed her clothes.
Then the alarm went off immediately.
어린 동현
No, it's okay.
어린 동현
Do you want to go to school together tomorrow?
어린 여주
I have to take my younger sibling home...
어린 동현
-Can I come along by any chance?
어린 여주
If you're okay with it, I'll talk to your younger sibling.
어린 동현
-Okay, please.
어린 여주
Daehwi
어린 대휘
yes?
어린 대휘
Did you finish changing your clothes, sis?
어린 여주
huh,
어린 여주
Daehwi, can I go to school with my friend tomorrow?
어린 대휘
Then should I go alone?
어린 여주
No, can I give you a ride?
어린 대휘
hum
어린 여주
thank you
어린 대휘
Hehe
Daehwi smiles happily as Yeoju strokes his head.
The next day
어린 여주
You were out early?
어린 동현
I always come out at this time,
어린 동현
hi
Donghyun saw Daehwi, smiled sweetly, and greeted him.
어린 대휘
hi
어린 동현
Can I come with you?
어린 대휘
huh
While walking quietly for quite a while,
Yeoju and Donghyun heading to school after dropping off Daehwi.
어린 동현
Your little brother is super cute
어린 여주
right?
어린 동현
You really like your younger sibling, don't you?
어린 여주
Ah... yeah, he's more mature than me, so I always get comforted by him...
어린 동현
consolation..?
어린 동현
Is something wrong?
어린 여주
No... nothing happened
어린 여주
Let's hurry to school, we'll be late.
어린 동현
..huh
어린 동현
Yeoju! You're studying?
어린 여주
Huh? Yes
어린 동현
Drink this and do it.
어린 여주
Is that strawberry milk?
어린 동현
I thought you probably didn't eat breakfast.
어린 여주
Do it while drinking
어린 동현
thank you
The class started, and while I was listening to the lesson, it started raining outside the window.
The children were listening to the class as if nothing were wrong, but the female protagonist was trembling.
The female protagonist was surprised because she had never experienced anything like this before.
Donghyun spoke quietly, perhaps noticing that Yeoju was trembling.
어린 동현
what's the matter..?
어린 동현
Are you sick?
어린 여주
N...I'm scared..
어린 동현
..
어린 동현
Teacher, can we go to the infirmary for a moment?
어린 동현
Yeoju said her head hurts, so I'll take her to the infirmary.
선생님
Do so.
어린 동현
thank you
어린 동현
Are you okay?
어린 동현
I'm breaking out in a cold sweat..
Donghyun carefully wiped the sweat from Yeoju's forehead and spoke.
어린 여주
I don't really need to go to the infirmary...
어린 동현
You look like you're in a lot of pain..
어린 여주
B... I hate the rain
어린 여주
scared..
어린 동현
...
어린 동현
Do you hate the sound of rain..?
어린 여주
(Nods)
Donghyun, who had been looking at Yeoju for a moment, changed direction and took her somewhere.
어린 동현
You won't be able to hear me here.
어린 여주
..thank you
어린 동현
Can I ask why you're afraid of rain..?
어린 여주
that is...
어린 여주
My father committed domestic violence when I was young.
어린 여주
Back then, whenever it rained, he would hit me every day because he was in a bad mood.
어린 여주
So... I guess that's how it is.
어린 여주
I hate and am afraid of the rain..
어린 동현
It was really tough, wasn't it..?
Donghyun whispered quietly and hugged Yeoju tightly.
Pat, pat, he gently patted the female lead's back, and she eventually burst into tears.
Because I have never received warm comfort until now, and because the words were always somehow lacking and did not resonate with me.
So, the female lead came to rely on Donghyun even more.
어린 동현
Did you finish crying?
어린 여주
Sorry..
어린 동현
What are you sorry for?
어린 동현
I'm fine...
어린 동현
But, it's okay to cry when you want to. If you always hold it in, you're the only one who suffers, and those around you won't know.
어린 동현
If it's hard to tell someone else, at least tell me.
어린 동현
I'll listen to everything.
어린 여주
...
어린 동현
Whenever you're having a hard time...
어린 여주
thank you..
어린 여주
Still, thanks to you, I think I've sorted out my feelings.
어린 동현
Don't speak calmly. That kind of thing doesn't suit you.
어린 동현
Smile, you look prettiest when you smile
어린 여주
H... yeah
When Yeoju laughed, Donghyeon laughed along.
어린 동현
Shall we go to the classroom now?
어린 여주
huh
어린 동현
Are you really going to be able to take the class..?
어린 여주
You know you
어린 여주
So I think it will be okay.
어린 동현
okay
어린 동현
Tell me if it's hard.
어린 여주
(Nods)
The female protagonist tries to concentrate on her class despite being bothered by the constant sound of rain.
Donghyun took Yeoju's notebook and took notes for her, as she was unable to take notes herself. After class, Donghyun returned the notebook to Yeoju and spoke.
어린 동현
Are you having a hard time?
어린 여주
It's okay heh
어린 여주
Classes are ending soon anyway.
어린 동현
How do you get home in the rain?
어린 동현
Your house is quite far away...
어린 여주
...'Come to think of it, Mom said she'd be home late today..'
어린 여주
I can go with Daehwi later..
어린 동현
Do you want to come to my place if you don't mind?
어린 동현
You'll get there quickly if you walk just a little.
어린 여주
No, it makes you uncomfortable.
어린 동현
I'm not uncomfortable...
어린 동현
My parents also came home late...
어린 동현
Can't you stay with me for just a little while..?
Donghyun looking at Yeoju with a sullen expression
어린 여주
...Okay.
어린 동현
really?
어린 여주
huh
Donghyun smiles brightly at Yeoju's answer.
School dismissal time.
어린 대휘
Wow, your house is spacious!
어린 동현
Shall we play a game?
어린 대휘
good!
어린 여주
You're having fun... heh
어린 동현
Do you want to do it too, Yeoju?
어린 여주
I won't do it.
어린 동현
It would be nice to do it together...
어린 여주
I couldn't even attend class, so I need to study.
어린 동현
Ask me if you don't know.
어린 여주
okay
Daehwi and Donghyun, who were focused on a game while Yeoju was studying.
Perhaps because we had become close while playing games, it wasn't awkward at all, unlike in the morning.
어린 대휘
Wow, bro, I won!
어린 동현
Daehwi is doing well, isn't he?
Donghyun stroked Daehwi's head.
어린 대휘
Huh? The rain has stopped.
어린 동현
It might rain again, so it's probably better to go now, right?
어린 여주
Yeah... thanks for today.
Yeoju said as she rummaged through her notebook and pencil case into her bag.
어린 동현
No, shall I take you home?
어린 여주
No, it's okay.
어린 대휘
Today was fun, big brother.
Daehwi snuggled right into Donghyun's arms and said
어린 동현
I'll play with you again next time heh
어린 여주
See you tomorrow
어린 동현
Yeah, bye.
어린 대휘
Hi bro~
어린 동현
Go carefully
작가
And so the past ended.
작가
It means that Daehwi, Yeoju, and Donghyun knew each other when they were young.
작가
And the current Daehwi does not remember Donghyun.
작가
So, I am helping Woojin date Yeoju.
작가
However, the male lead is Dongdong-oppa.
작가
Oh, and the female lead hasn't noticed Donghyun yet either.
작가
Only Donghyun recognizes Yeoju and Daehwi and is taking care of them by their side.
작가
That's all for now.
