“I like you, a lot”
Episode 1: My First Encounter with You
The teacher speaks to the children's noisy entrance ceremony in the auditorium.
Teacher: Students, please remain quiet. The entrance ceremony will now begin.
(Students chattering noisily) Then, pushed by the rapidly increasing number of students, I bumped into a boy. The boy I'd seen that morning. We both glared at each other. Until then, I didn't realize I'd be in the same class as him.
The entrance ceremony had just begun and was almost over. My entrance ceremony was finally over, and I was leaving the auditorium to go to class. I was looking for Taehyung.
Then someone grabbed my hand.
김태형(17)
Yeojuya
한여주(17)
Huh? Taehyung
김태형(17)
You have to go to class. I'll take you. Let's go.
한여주(17)
Yeah, let's go
Taehyung was so kind to me. After he took me to my class, he went to his own class.
I entered the classroom and sat in the back row. A boy was lying face down. The homeroom teacher hadn't come in yet. My eyes then fell on the boy. Then the homeroom teacher came in, and I turned my gaze away from the boy.
김석진(담임)28
Hello, kids. I'm Kim Seok-jin, your new homeroom teacher for Class 3, Grade 1. My subject is Korean. I'll be looking forward to working with you for the next year. Your seats will remain the same as they are now, and I won't rearrange them. Since today is your first day, let's have some self-study time. That's all for now.
After listening to the homeroom teacher, I got up to go to the bathroom. A boy who was lying face down got up, bumping into me and knocking me over. The boy didn't even apologize, and as he was about to leave, I called out to him.
한여주(17)
hey
The kid turns around. Only then do I realize it's the kid I bumped into on my way to school that morning.
한여주(17)
Uh...? You're that kid in the morning
전정국(17)
what
한여주(17)
Even in the morning, you still don't know how to apologize?
전정국(17)
Do you carry your eyes around as decorations?
I thought to myself, "What kind of idiot is this?" I didn't want to deal with him, so I tried to ignore him and I just went to the bathroom. (I'm in the same class as this guy...) I hate it so much.
I just came back from the bathroom and went into class, but that guy wasn't there. I didn't pay any attention and just sat down. Just then, my homeroom teacher came in and gave me a briefing.
김석진(담임)28
We'll end the class here today. I hope you all come to school tomorrow without being late and go straight home.
So, class ended and I was waiting for Taehyung in front of the school gate. I heard the children's voices ending and saw Taehyung coming towards me from afar.
한여주(17)
Taehyung, I'm here, here
김태형(17)
Have you been waiting long?
한여주(17)
By the way, what about Seolgi?
김태형(17)
Kang Seul-gi said she had plans today, so she left first.
한여주(17)
Yeah, Taehyung, I'm going home alone today. You always ask me to take you home. It's hard for you.
I said I was going home alone. But Taehyung, always so considerate, responded with concern.
김태형(17)
It's dark on the way home, are you okay?
한여주(17)
Yeah, I'll go home and call you.
김태형(17)
Be sure to call
한여주(17)
Okay, I'll contact you when I get home. See you tomorrow!
So I parted ways with Taehyung and headed home. It was pitch black. It had been a while since I'd walked alone on an empty road. I was scared. But then I felt someone following me down the street, a little ways behind me, so I quickened my pace.
Just then, someone grabbed my wrist and led me into a narrow alley. Fortunately, the person who had been following me was shaken off. Then, just as I was starting to feel relieved, I heard voices.
전정국(17)
Are you okay?
한여주(17)
uh...?
전정국(17)
Are you okay?
한여주(17)
Yeah.. it's okay.., thank you
I turned around and walked away before I could even hear what he said.
