I forgot, I missed you
Chapter 1. Nightmare and First Encounter


어린 김여주
Mom!! Dad!!!

여주의 엄마
Heroine..! Knock.. Gulp... Gulp..! Get out of the way quickly..! Quickly..!!

여주의 아빠
You alone must survive.. Please live diligently..!!

어린 김여주
Dad!! Mom!!

The fire quickly spread all around,

The trees and the woman's house collapsed.

어린 김여주
Mom!! Dad!! Ahhh...

Fortunately, Yeoju was able to escape the fire thanks to the villagers.

But I was left with a scar that would never be erased for the rest of my life.

In this time

Another person was having a nightmare.

어린 최승철
dad..?

Choi Seung-cheol, who had just returned from running an errand, saw his house on fire and dropped his shopping cart on the floor.

어린 최승철
My dad...my dad is over there...he's still home!!!

Oh my gosh!! Don't go that way!!!

The people around Seungcheol's house blocked Seungcheol from entering his house.

어린 최승철
No...Dad...Dad!!!

어린 최승철
I don't want to lose my dad either..!

bang!!

Seungcheol's house exploded.

The fire grew stronger and spread further because Seungcheol's house exploded.

소방대원들
Get out of the way! It's dangerous! Get out of the way quickly!!

The firefighters who arrived late sprayed water on the fire and entered the scene.

Mom... Dad... sob...

Choi Seung-cheol turned his head in the direction of the voice that was sobbing.

Kim Yeo-ju was there.

Kim Yeo-ju felt that someone was watching her, so she turned towards Choi Seung-cheol and looked at him.

Choi Seung-cheol was momentarily flustered, but immediately approached the female protagonist.

어린 최승철
What's your name?

어린 김여주
I...I...Kim Yeo-ju...

어린 김여주
You...what...is...your...name..?

어린 최승철
I am Choi Seung-cheol...

어린 김여주
I see... that's a really cool name...

어린 최승철
Your name is pretty too, but...

The two were silent for a long time.

excuse me..

The voice that broke the silence was the female protagonist's.

어린 김여주
My mom and dad... in our house where there was a fire...

어린 김여주
I couldn't get out..

Seungcheol's eyes widened in surprise.

Because there is someone in a similar situation to me.

And meet that person here in person.

I was just surprised.

어린 김여주
Mom and Dad... made me leave the house alone... saying it was dangerous... telling me to run away quickly... ugh... sob...

어린 김여주
Actually, I was the only one who lived like this... Mom and Dad... couldn't escape from the flames... sob...

Choi Seung-cheol patted Yeo-ju on the back without saying a word.

어린 최승철
......My dad too..

The female protagonist stopped crying and looked at Choi Seung-cheol.

어린 최승철
While I was out running errands, the house caught fire... Dad couldn't get out... and the house exploded...

Seungcheol was crying.

Seungcheol's tears rolled down his red cheeks. Continuously.

어린 김여주
If you want to cry, cry like me.

어린 최승철
But...

어린 김여주
It's okay to cry if you're sad and having a hard time...

어린 김여주
My teacher said it was okay to cry when you're sad. It was okay to cry when you're having a hard time. It wasn't embarrassing to cry.

어린 최승철
Ugh...huh...

Seungcheol started to cry without stopping at Yeoju's words.

Yeoju also patted Seungcheol on the back.

Seungcheol must have had a hard time and was sad, but he was grateful to the woman who comforted him and became even sadder.

We were grateful to each other for comforting each other despite having similar nightmares.

many.
