Is it necessary to have 'love'?
6. Who are you?
박수영
"He is..."
박수영
"The one who caused it..."
강슬기
"ah...."
강슬기
"By the way, how did you meet? Did he call you?"
박수영
"No, that's not it.."
A few minutes ago...
박수영
'Still, it's better than staying at home.'
박수영
'..I always think of this place when I see it.'
박수영
'I still wonder. Why did you do that?'
puck!!
박수영
"ah!!"
???
"madam.."
박수영
"Are you okay over there..."
박수영
"...?"
박수영
"You...you..."
박수영
"Why are you... here...?"
???
"Huh? Aren't you Park Soo-young?"
???
"It's been a really long time."
???
"...Why are you so scared?"
???
"Oh, surely it's not because of 'that thing'..."
박수영
"Oh...don't come!!!"
박수영
"This is how it happened.."
강슬기
"Ah... So that's what happened.."
강슬기
"Are you feeling better now?"
박수영
"uh.."
강슬기
"Do you want to go for a bit?"
박수영
"Uh... I guess so..."
강슬기
"This place seems really nice!!!"
강슬기
"It's refreshing every time I come!!"
박수영
"Yeah... It's refreshing."
강슬기
"Suyeong."
박수영
"Huh? Why?"
강슬기
"I had something to do earlier... so I was hesitant to ask..."
강슬기
"How are your male friends?"
박수영
"Male friend?"
강슬기
"huh."
강슬기
"I think it's just a pointless meddling..."
강슬기
"I want to heal your trauma..."
강슬기
"I also know that it's pointless to meddle."
강슬기
"I kind of know... but still... I'm curious what you think..."
박수영
"Hahahahahaha"
강슬기
"..??"
박수영
"Seulgi, I'm okay with male friends lol"
박수영
"I was a little worried anyway."
박수영
“If this continues, won’t I not be able to see men even more?”
박수영
“If this continues, won’t it get worse?”
박수영
"I was worried about something like this"
박수영
"And I know."
박수영
"Not all men are like that."
박수영
"Seulgi, I'll be waiting."
강슬기
"Suyeong-ahㅠㅠ"
강슬기
"I will definitely get rid of your trauma!!!"
박수영
"Okay lol"
강슬기
"Ah, it's cold.."
강슬기
"Let's go down slowly now~!"
박수영
"Okay then."
박수영
"It seems good because it's close."
강슬기
"I'll deliver you home-☆"
박수영
"Your house and my house are only 4 minutes apart anyways lol"
강슬기
"It's true though lol"
강슬기
"Anyway!! Let's go quickly~!"
박수영
"Thank you for today, Seulgi."
박수영
"Get in safely!!"
강슬기
"You too, go swimming and rest!!!"
박수영
"Okay, so go ahead and look ahead!!"
강슬기
"Okay lol bye!!"
박수영
"ha.."
박수영
"I'm so glad I met Seulgi..."
박수영
Honestly, I froze there.
박수영
But... suddenly Seolgi came,
박수영
It melted the frozen me.
박수영
I am grateful to Seolgi.
박수영
And as Seolgi said, I will get rid of my trauma.
박수영
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't frustrated during that time.
박수영
I was so frustrated that I just wanted to escape from the past.
박수영
Who will be my boyfriends?
01:00 PM
1pm the next day..
Ding~
강슬기
"It's over there."
육성재
"Uh. Hello?"
배주현
"Uh. Hello."
강슬기
"hi!"
전정국
"hi."
전정국
"What do you want to ask?"
강슬기
"Are you close with Kim Taehyung?"
강슬기
"And we're in the same middle school."
강슬기
"that's right?"
전정국
"Oh, right."
강슬기
"I have something to ask about Kim Taehyung."
전정국
"What is it?"
강슬기
"Can you tell me about Kim Taehyung's past?"
육성재
"Um... Kim Taehyung in middle school..."
전정국
"Don't say anything about Yook Sungjae."
육성재
"?"
전정국
"I'll tell you once you answer our questions."
배주현
'Still, he's not that stupid.'
배주현
"What are you curious about?"
전정국
"First, who are you?"
전정국
"Second, what do we gain by telling you about Taehyung's past?"
전정국
Third, the reason I'm curious
전정국
"There are three in total like this,"
전정국
"If you don't answer these three questions, we won't answer either."
배주현
"Okay, I'll tell you everything one by one."
배주현
"First, we are the friends of the girl Kim Taehyung confessed to. To be more specific, we are Park Sooyoung's friends."
전정국& 육성재
"!??!?"
배주현
"Second, this depends on your thoughts."
배주현
"We decided to connect Sooyoung and Kim Taehyung."
강슬기
'!?!?'
강슬기
"hey..?"
배주현
/Just wait a minute./
/→ is a whisper. (Including whispers.)
배주현
"If you both agree, it will benefit you."
배주현
"There's no particular benefit to opposing those two."
전정국
"I'm sorry to interrupt you."
전정국
"Can I go to the bathroom with Yook Sungjae?"
배주현
"No. Go and come back."
강슬기
"Hey Joohyun!!?? You haven't decided yet..? But what if I tell you?"
배주현
"I'm sorry about that. I just thought of it..."
배주현
"But, it can be solved."
배주현
"Seulgi, if you just wait a little, it'll all work out..."
배주현
"Will you give me some time?"
강슬기
"..If that's you..Okay."
배주현
"thank you."
전정국
-Hey, what should I say?
(- is a phone.)
박지민
-Hey, I'm really sorry. I need your opinion on this.
박지민
-How about you guys?
전정국
-I like Taehyung, so I agree.
육성재
-I agree too.
박지민
-Ah, okay. Then keep talking.
박지민
-I'll keep adding texts.
전정국
-okay.
전정국& 육성재
"I'm back. Sorry I suddenly had to go to the bathroom."
배주현
"no. "
배주현
"Then can we continue the conversation?"
전정국
"Excuse me, I have something to ask you."
배주현
"What is it?"
전정국
"Why are you trying to connect those two?"
배주현
"Is this also included in the questions that tell the past?"
전정국
"...That's not it."
배주현
"Um... I can't go into detail, because it's at a disadvantage for Kim Taehyung."
전정국
"what?"
배주현
"I'm sorry, but it's still a long way off for you to know."
배주현
"If you could give me a little more hint..."
배주현
"Swimming is the problem. Is this it?"
박지민
'Park Soo-young is the problem?' (←Listening on the phone.)
전정국& 육성재
"I don't understand at all."
배주현
"Then I will continue."
배주현
"Are you guys rooting for those two?"
전정국& 육성재
"Oh. We're rooting for you."
배주현
"Then it's to your advantage."
배주현
"I'll go for the third time."
배주현
"The third is to confirm whether Kim Taehyung is a good guy or a bad guy to Sooyoung."
육성재
"Why are you checking that? Did you get a favor?"
배주현
"That's not it.."
강슬기
"Because we cherish Sooyoung."
강슬기
"Because Sooyoung is precious to us."
강슬기
"Now that you've answered all the questions, tell me about your past."
육성재
"I'll tell you about the past."
육성재
"Taehyung was in middle school..."
전정국
"Hey, isn't that kid so pretty?"
육성재
"Oh, totally my style."
전정국
"You don't know this person anyway."
전정국
"Give up."
육성재
"But he's still a local guy..!!"
전정국
"Yeah, give up on your dreams, Seongjae."
육성재
"Kim Tae, how is your child?"
김태형
"me?"
김태형
"I don't really..."
육성재
"to!!??"
전정국
"There he goes again... sigh..."
김태형
"What...what?"
육성재
"You did the same thing last time."
육성재
"At this point... you're a jerk..."
김태형
"That's not it, so don't catch the person who's just sitting there.╬"
육성재
"Okay lol"
육성재
"He really didn't care about women."
육성재
"To the point where I wonder if it's really true"
육성재
"But that's not it."
강슬기
"Hmm... and then you suddenly fell in love with Suyeong?"
전정국& 육성재
"Oh. Really suddenly."
강슬기
"Was it the same in the first year of high school as it was in middle school?"
육성재
"Yeah. It was the same in my first year of high school."
강슬기
"Why is swimming good?"
육성재
"I like it because I feel like it suits me well."
강슬기
"Aha... okay. That concludes our business."
배주현
"Then we'll go now."
전정국
"Wait a minute, I have a suggestion."
전정국
"Your plan is to connect Park Soo-young and Kim Tae-hyung?"
배주현
"Oh, right."
전정국
"Then how about we become friends with our group?"
강슬기
'I said that once... Should I allow it?'
배주현
"Then what's the benefit?"
전정국
“It increases the likelihood that things will continue naturally and without pressure.”
배주현
"...ah"
배주현
"Then I'll discuss it with the kids first and then tell you."
전정국
"Okay. Think about it carefully."
배주현
"huh."
강슬기
One person who doesn't understand
육성재
Two people who don't understand
강슬기
'What the hell are you talking about!!??!?!'
육성재
'Where am I... Who am I...'
배주현
"Then we'll go out first. Bye."
배주현
"Let's go out quickly, Seolgi."
강슬기
"Huh? Yeah."
강슬기
"What are you two talking about..."
배주현
"I'll explain once everyone gathers together."
배주현
"Can you please call me and tell me to come to your house?"
강슬기
"Okay~"
강슬기
-Kim Yerieeeeeeeeee
김예림
-Whyeeeeee
강슬기
-Come to Joohyun's house. It's 2 o'clock now... Come by 2:10.
김예림
-I'll be there by 2:20~
강슬기
-Do whatever you want lol. Just come.
김예림
-I'll be there soon.
Thump thump thump
손승완
-Hey...
강슬기
-Son Seung-wan!!!
손승완
-Ah, it's noisy...ㅡㅡ Why
강슬기
-Come to Joohyun's house by 2:15.
손승완
-Okay. I'll be there soon.
강슬기
"5 minutes left!!"
배주현
"I wish you would come."
강슬기
"Cabbage, but what did you and Jeon Jungkook talk about earlier?"
배주현
"It's beneficial to become friends with us and Kim Taehyung's friends..."
강슬기
"why?"
배주현
"Once we become close, we'll automatically swim together and Kim Taehyung will have no choice but to become close to us."
배주현
"We can make Suyeong trust them,"
배주현
"And before you know it, you can make them boyfriend and girlfriend."
강슬기
"Oh.."
배주현
"But when are the kids coming.."
강슬기
"I'll be back soon."
배주현
"I wish you'd come soon..."
-After Joohyun and Seulgi left...-
육성재
"Hey, honestly, I don't understand the situation."
육성재
"What about Park Jimin's phone call, and what did you two talk about at the end?"
박지민
-I think it would be better if I went there and explained.
박지민
-Please wait 5 minutes.
5 minutes later...
Ding~
박지민
"Hey, I ran and sweated because of you guys lol"
전정국
"Who wants to jump? LOL"
육성재
"Please explain what's going on."
박지민
"Ah, that's right.."
Ding dong~
박지민
"who are you?"
