I'm cursed with unrequited love (phew)
02. Choose the past to love
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
....
Joo Won tried to understand his current situation.
Is it true that I was in the mountain and now I am in the container?
Was it because I became about 6cm shorter?
I had a feeling that something had changed.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Does this make sense...?
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he hadn't seen anything wrong, then looked at the calendar again.
The calendar was pointing to March 2nd, not February 15th, as if the eyes were normal.
The problem was that it was 2020, not 2023.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
...? Is this a dream...?
Joo-won closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
담임 선생님
Lee Joo-won... Lee Joo-won!
The teacher called, but Juwon, who was sleeping at home at that time, of course did not answer.
담임 선생님
What the hell is this kid doing being late from the first day...Jang Won-young!
장 원영
yes
담임 선생님
Han Woong!
Wonyoung answered and looked at the empty seat by the window.
Warm sunlight was shining through the cracks in the curtains.
Finally, in the middle of the night, Joo-won woke up to a call from his part-time job.
편의점 사장님
Aren't you coming..?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Yes...? Didn't I quit...?
편의점 사장님
What..? Are you going to quit..?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
No, I'm just sleeping. I'll go now.
Joo-won sat up, looking bewildered.
Juwon vowed that from now on he would drink in moderation.
편의점 사장님
I just filled the warehouse with items and organized the displays... Have you been drinking..?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
The boss gave it to me yesterday..?
편의점 사장님
What the hell are you talking about...? This is something a minor can do after drinking.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
....
편의점 사장님
Take a hangover remedy and wake up early
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
yes...
When Joo Won saw this reaction, it really felt like he was back in 2020.
No, it really did come.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
But does this make sense....;
Joo Won squinted his eyes and grabbed his head.
5 a.m., that's when he wakes up.
His motto was to save time sleeping and make money.
The biggest problem was school.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Director... I went there for 3 years. Do I have to go again?
Joo-won muttered while looking at a picture of himself and the director taken when they were young.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Yeah yeah haha I'll be back.
Joo-won stood up from his seat, laughing as if he had been scolded.
For now, Joo-won decided to live in the present.
장 원영
Ah... I'm late...
Wonyoung muttered as he stretched.
The spring breeze blew past her, ruffling her hair.
장 원영
Hmm...hmm.hmm~~
Wonyoung had to walk because the tire on his car suddenly burst, but this kind of routine didn't seem so bad.
강아지
Wow!
Wonyoung was startled by the sudden shout, but after looking around the room, he found the puppy.
강아지
R! Rrrrr R!
장 원영
So cute....ㅎ
Wonyoung crouched down on the edge of the road and petted the puppy.
The puppy sat down in a good mood and showed off his dignified posture.
Then the puppy suddenly got up and started running.
The puppy ran close to the road.
장 원영
no!
Wonyoung ran as fast as he could, but the puppy was so fast that it escaped Wonyoung's reach.
That was the moment the puppy got hit by the car.
장 원영
Wow!
Wonyoung closed his eyes in surprise.
장 원영
Hey...is that a puppy...?
강아지
R!
Wonyoung opened his eyes at the healthy puppy's answer.
A boy was sitting on a puppy and scolding it.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Hey... you shouldn't get that close to the car! Got it?
강아지
R!
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Do you understand what I'm saying?
강아지
r....?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
You jerk
Joo-won ruffled the puppy's fur here and there.
Only then did Wonyoung feel relieved and move forward.
The puppy barked here and there as if it saw Won-yeong like that.
강아지
R! RRR!! Rrrrr R!!!
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Okay, I'll give it to you.
The puppy made sure its feet touched the ground and then ran to Wonyoung.
장 원영
You...if you do that again, you'll get in trouble...! I was surprised...ㅠ
Wonyoung hugged the puppy tightly with a tearful voice.
강아지
R!
Wonyoung held the puppy for a while and then got up to express his gratitude to the person who saved the puppy.
장 원영
excuse me...
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
....?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
(Jang Won-young....?)
장 원영
Thank you... I really appreciate it...
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
....
장 원영
hey...?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Ah..yes.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
(It was 3 years ago...he still doesn't know me...)
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
I like dogs too.
강아지
R!
장 원영
Oh, me too. It's my first time seeing him today, though...
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
You're not a puppy after all...
장 원영
yes...?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Oh..? No.
Won-young looks at him strangely and then notices the paper that Ju-won is holding.
장 원영
Excuse me... Are you a Korean high school student?
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Ah...yes
장 원영
I go there too!
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
(I know...me too..)
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Well then...could you please give me some directions? I don't know the way very well.
장 원영
Yes! Of course!
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
Thank you. Haha
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
(You're laughing at me...)
During the three years that Won-young liked Ju-won while attending high school, Won-young never smiled at Ju-won once.
이 주원 (WIZ*ONE)
(Maybe it was just luck that I came to the past)
Joo-won started walking, following Won-young who was walking ahead with a smile.
