How to love your blue
#12. The speed at which leaves fall


The weather has become quite chilly.

The cold that had returned as soon as the last summer vacation was coming was blowing in to find autumn.

A cold wind, colder than sunlight, blew through the school window.

Looking at the playground outside the window turning yellow and red, I realized once again that it was autumn.

This is the moment when the autumn leaves, just starting to change color, begin to shine.


김여주
…

I stared blankly out the window.

The maple leaves that I often saw in hospitals were new and had a different background.

It came to mind as I looked at the beautifully colored maple leaves.

Days spent in the hospital

It's not funny, really...

It was I who kept recalling memories I wanted to forget.

I decided to start anew.

…

“Hey, Kim Yeo-ju.”


김여주
?

Cock-

As he turned his head at the sound of someone calling him, something sharp was stuck in his cheek.

And I saw Han Dong-min's closed-eyed smile in front of me.


김여주
What, what is it…

I had an ominous feeling about that incomprehensible smile.

And soon enough, that feeling was as expected.

After seeing the computer marker pen in Han Dong-min's hand...

Swish.-


김여주
ah..

I swept my hand across my cheek.

The black ink on my hand is clearly a computer marker pen.


한동민
lol


한동민
Ah haha it spread haha

Dongmin burst into laughter after seeing my reaction, which he had now noticed.


김여주
Ah, what is it..;;!!

The heroine rubbed her face hard.


한동민
That's what I mean when I say it spreads lol


김여주
Ah..really..!!


한동민
It's just a dot, but it spread...

Dongmin muttered as if he felt regretful.


김여주
… —(Jerit)


한동민
lol


한동민
Did you eat the burnt sweet potato?

The corners of my mouth and cheeks became dark from the smudged marker pen.

Han Dong-min laughs and says it's funny, but Yeo-ju finds him annoying.


김여주
… No!!

In the end, he just raised his voice without much resistance.


한동민
lol

But the more it was like that, the more it seemed to add to Han Dong-min's fun.

…




"Hey, there are a lot of fallen leaves?"


김동현
It's totally fall~


김여주
That's why..!


한동민
No matter how much water I put in, it all fell off in no time.

Dongmin swept away the fallen leaves with his feet.


김여주
It's pretty because it piles up like snow, right?

The heroine crouched down and felt the rough texture of the fallen leaves.

The dry maple leaves crumbled and melted in my hands.


한동민
It's going to be quite difficult to write all of this down.


김여주
…?


한동민
The security guard must be having a hard time...


김동현
Oh, did you lose your romance?


한동민
?


김여주
lol

The dry words were so reminiscent of Han Dong-min that I burst out laughing.



김동현
Lady, have you ever heard of a leaf bed?


김여주
huh?


김여주
What is that??


김동현
Look here

thud.-

Dong-Hyeon threw himself onto the piled fallen leaves.

Dong-Hyeon gestured as his body was buried in the fallen leaves.


김동현
Don't kill me, it's fluffier than I thought lol

Dong-Hyeon lay on the large bed and smiled brightly.


김여주
wow..


김여주
I want to try it too..!!

Yeoju followed Donghyun and threw herself onto the fallen leaves.

It was quite cozy and nestled between the fallen leaves, with a rustling sound.


김여주
Wow, that's good??


김동현
Right? Haha


한동민
… Oh, so dirty,,


한동민
There are a lot of bugs on the fallen leaves...


김동현
Oh, that miser;


김동현
I don't want to do it, so stop


김동현
I only get to do it a few times a year, so I guess you're the only one who feels bad~

Kim Dong-hyun is a talented person who scratches Han Dong-min.


김여주
That's why~


김여주
I can't help it~

Kim Yeo-ju has also become influenced by Kim Dong-hyun, and she imitates him without hesitation.


한동민
..her;

Seeing the two synchronized made the scratches double.


한동민
Are you really an elementary school student?


“Hey, guys!! What are you doing there!!??”

A familiar voice from somewhere gradually approached us.


김운학
Oh, what is it!! The female lead is here too!


김여주
Oh, hello Unhak haha


김운학
Wow, can I lie down too????

Unhak's eyes sparkled as he found the fallen leaf bed where Yeoju and Donghyun were lying amusing.


김동현
Ah, come on, come on~

Dong-Hyeon gestured with his hand, making a fuss.


김운학
Wow!!

Unhak jumped into the fallen leaves.



김운학
Wow, this is really awesome!!?


김운학
Dongmin hyung! Aren't you coming in!?

The bright smile of Unhak, who asked about entering the bathhouse, overlapped with that bastard Kim Dong-hyun's face.


한동민
… Oh, okay..


김동현
Oh, he's not coming in

Dong-Hyeon answered as if interrupting the conversation.

…

Sarak-


김여주
Ta-da, falling leaves~

The heroine threw a handful of fallen leaves into the air.

Dry leaves fell, rustling in the cold wind.


김동현
Oh, is that good?


김동현
Sprinkle some more snow~

Dong-Hyeon once again raised both arms toward the dry leaves that were falling comfortably on the ground.


김운학
lol

puck.-


한동민
Okay

Dongmin picked up a bowl of fallen leaves from somewhere and threw them on Donghyun's head.


김동현
Entangled,

Fallen leaves covered Dong-hyeon's face.


김운학
Donghyun hyung..!! Are you dead?


김여주
Are you okay? lol


김동현
…

Dong-Hyeon, buried without moving, does not respond.

Should I have scratched Han Dong-min like that?



김여주
Are you alive..?

Yeoju, feeling a little worried, lifted each leaf that contained Donghyun's face.

But then


김동현
Wow—!


김여주
(Surprise)!!


김운학
Eww;;!!!


김동현
Hehehe

As the female lead approached, she suddenly lifted her face from her tucked position, startling them both. Then Dong-hyun calmly chuckled.


김여주
Oh, you surprised me..!!


김운학
That's right!!


김동현
lol


한동민
…

slap-

Dongmin came between Yeoju and Donghyun.


김동현
What, I said I won't do it-


한동민
Because it looked fun.

The truth is, I don't like the sight of the two of them together.


김여주
…?

The female protagonist only had a question mark floating above her head at Han Dong-min's unusual behavior.


한동민
..


한동민
..(what-are-you-looking)

Dongmin just smiled coldly at the female protagonist who was flirting with him, saying, “What are you looking at?”

I guess Han Dong-min was worried about it.

It's obvious that they don't like the sight of the two of them together, just by looking at them grumbling for no reason.


김여주
..(whoosh)

The heroine immediately turned her head.

It wasn't that he was scared of Dongmin, but rather that he found it difficult to look into Han Dongmin's eyes for a long time.

From that day on, it became increasingly difficult to see Han Dong-min.

Because I felt like if I kept looking at that face, the memories of that day would come back to me.

Especially those lips

Why are you shaking??

I keep getting distracted by Han Dong-min's lips. Am I finally going crazy?

…


한동민
…

Dongmin furrowed his brow again.

Although he was ticking as if he was looking at something, the female protagonist was really avoiding his gaze, and the button between his eyebrows clicked.


Hoodduck-

At that moment, fallen leaves fell like corn on Han Dong-min's head.


김운학
Revenge on Donghyun hyung!!

It was Kim Un-hak who dropped the leaves on Dong-min's head.


한동민
…

I am a fellow citizen who has given up on that clueless Kim Un-hak.

…

“Over there, students!!”

The security guard ran towards us.


김동현
Oh, it's the security guard.


한동민
…fucked


김운학
omg!?


김여주
?

With the security guard's appearance, the result is obvious.

Group leaf raking.

I got in trouble because I messed up the fallen leaves that the security guard had swept away.

Still, I guess it's fortunate that I didn't get scolded by Hakju

We walked around the whole school with a broom in one hand.



김운학
Wow, my back is about to break..!!


한동민
Seriously..


김동현
But it was still fun


한동민
Is there any need to sweep fallen leaves twice?


김여주
lol



김동현
It might be better than sitting and listening to class.


김동현
When are we graduating?


김여주
It's almost October, so it'll be quick, right?


한동민
It's already October..?


한동민
Time flies so fast..


김운학
Oh, that's right, guys


한동민
?


김운학
You must come to practice this week!!


김동현
please?


김운학
This week is the last practice!!


김운학
The broadcasting department says they even rehearse


김운학
That's why you absolutely have to come out-!!


김동현
Wow, it's already the festival??


김여주
That would be fun..


김여주
Since it's a festival, there will be booths! There must be a lot of delicious food, right??


김동현
of course-


김여주
Wow,, this is my first time at a festival so I'm nervous..


김여주
What's the most fun about the booth??


김동현
Last year, the haunted house was so popular that there was even a waiting line.


김여주
Haunted house..?


김동현
And there were so many things to do, like making bookmarks, treasure hunts, quizzes, and maid cafes.


김여주
really??

The heroine's eyes sparkled.


김운학
But the highlight of the festival is our band's performance!!


김운학
Sister Yeoju, you absolutely have to come see it! Okay!?


김여주
Yeah, I'll definitely go!!

+) Bonus


한동민
…there are fallen leaves piled up over there

Dongmin stared blankly at the piled fallen leaves.


김여주
?


한동민
…


김여주
…you want to do?


한동민
Just... what-

Dongmin awkwardly avoided eye contact.


김여주
lol

Han Dong-min, has you been having fun playing with fallen leaves?

I can't take my eyes off the piled up fallen leaves.

At first, he was so annoying that I thought he was an elementary school kid.

Were you secretly enjoying it?

Cute guy..
