Is it necessary to have 'love'?
3. Love and being single at the same time (1)
(This episode is told from Taehyung's perspective.)
김태형
"Ahhhhh!!! I shouldn't have listened to you guys!!"
박지민
"That's what you're doing lol"
Time goes back to a week before Suyeong confessed.
We were gathered in our class and chatting as usual.
(For reference, Taehyung is in class 1.)
김태형
"I'm bored, is there anything fun to do?"
전정국
"Why are you saying you're bored during the first period break?"
전정국
This is Jeon Jeong-guk. He's in class 4, and we've been close since middle school.
육성재
"But I'm bored. Where should we go to play?"
육성재
This is Yook Sungjae, my friend and enemy. He's in the same class as me, and I've been close with Jeon Jungkook since middle school.
박지민
"Um... how about an amusement park?"
박지민
The last one is Park Jimin. Park Jimin is in class 4, and we became close friends after entering high school.
김태형
“Aren’t those places usually visited by couples?”
전정국
"Isn't that something you should be saying?"
김태형
"hmm?"
전정국
"You're the only one here who's single, right?"
김태형
"Huh? What about you guys?"
박지민
"I've been single for 4 years now?"
전정국
"I've been single for 3 years."
육성재
"I've also been single for 3 years☆"
김태형
"Huh?!?! I guess that's because Park Jimin went to a different middle school."
김태형
"When did you guys become a couple??"
전정국
"I think it was during the first semester of my third year of middle school? We met then and dated for about five months."
육성재
"I dated someone around the same time."
김태형
"You two knew each other?"
전정국& 육성재
"Yeah, I knew that"
김태형
"You kept a secret from me, huh? ㅠㅠ"
전정국
"It wasn't really my intention, we just met each other while dating."
김태형
"Wow... everyone is abandoning me and dating and datingㅠㅠ"
육성재
"You're a popular guy, so just date him. Who told you not to?"
김태형
"I'm saying there weren't any kids who seemed like they'd fit in with me..."
김태형
"Why is there something like that, a feeling..."
bang!!!!
수영 & 슬기
"Hey Son Seung-wan!!!"
남자 4명
"Miss, surprise;;"
박수영
"Ah.. I'm sorry kids!!!"
강슬기
"Did you open the door too hard?"
박수영
"Can't you see that all the kids are surprised? LOL"
강슬기
"Ah..!! I'm sorry!!"
손승완
"Our class is already in a fight.."
손승완
"Kang Seul-gi, Park Soo-young, why are you here?"
박수영
"Oh, I came here because I was thinking of going to the store."
손승완
"Okay, first. But before that, give me your wallet."
박수영
"Oki"
손승완
"Let's go~"
강슬기
"Okay! Let's go quickly!!"
박수영
"Hey! Kang Seul-gi, let's go together!!"
손승완
"The person who comes late gets to buy strawberry milk!!!"
박수영
"Huh?? Seungwan, you're doing that too!!!??"
박수영
"Let's go together!!"
(The door closes.)
박지민
"Hey, did you see Yook Sungjae's expression earlier? LOL"
육성재
"What am I!!"
박지민
"I had to take a picture of your expression and make a frame for it, lol"
전정국
"By the way, does anyone know why our Taetae has that expression?"
김태형
bruise...
육성재
"Hey he ...
육성재
(Pokes his shoulder with his finger.)
김태형
"Huh? Why why why?"
육성재
"It's my first time seeing that expression. What is it?"
김태형
"Huh? I guess it was just his usual expression?"
육성재
"Oh, did I make a mistake? LOL"
전정국
"So what we did earlier @#@~!@#@'@#"
김태형
Found it...
김태형
It wasn't a fateful encounter, but I had a feeling it was coming.
김태형
She was the person I had been looking for all this time, someone who seemed like a good fit for me.
김태형
I experienced this feeling of excitement for the first time in my life.
김태형
And at the same time, the feeling called ‘love’ came to me.
Six days later...
전정국
"Hey, Kim Tae-tae."
김태형
"why?"
전정국
"Be honest with me. Do you have someone you like?"
김태형
Phew!!! (spits out the juice he was drinking)
박지민
"What are you doing? I fried it."
김태형
"Oh, sorry, sorry;;"
전정국
"What is the answer to the question?"
김태형
"I...don't like anyone!!"
전정국
"Why do you stutter?"
김태형
"Ah...you're not groping?"
박지민
"Then why did you squirt the juice?"
김태형
"note..."
박지민
"I guess it's true that you can't speak."
김태형
"Ah no!! I... I'm in that!! It's because I got caught in a trap!!"
전정국
"There are no more excuses now."
박지민
"Do you admit it?"
김태형
"I'll admit it if you give me proof."
박지민
"Hey!! Park Soo-young is passing by!!"
김태형
"Huh? Where are you?"
전정국& 육성재
"Hey.. Are you kidding me? LOL"
김태형
"omg..."
김태형
"Okay, I'll admit that I like it."
김태형
"How did you know?"
육성재
"Then I'll go to a cafe and talk to you after school today."
김태형
"okay."
School ends with the writer's magic...
전정국
"I've been waiting for a long time-!!"
전정국
"Let me tell you why we knew."
전정국
"I'll give you three reasons in total, and the order will be Sungjae→Jungkook→Jimin-!"
육성재
"Then the first reason!!!"
육성재
"You've been spacing out for the past few days, Tae-Tae?"
김태형
"Oh, is that so.."
김태형
'This feels like I'm being interrogated...'
육성재
"And the one who always gets hit is the one where Park Soo-young stays..."
육성재
"Yes, this is the proof!"
육성재
"When I see Park Soo-young, I'm so shocked that I'm in a daze!!"
육성재
"I didn't notice at first, but Jimin noticed."
김태형
"Park Jimin is so quick-witted.. How did he know!!!"
박지민
"Aren't you fools for not noticing that he's acting so obvious?"
김태형
"Tch.."
전정국
"Okay, then I'll go for the second one."
전정국
"I see you've been passing by Class 2's classroom and the library a lot lately?"
김태형
"It just happened to pass by!!"
김태형
"I feel wronged!!"
전정국
"But is it just a coincidence?"
전정국
"That place is..."
