Is this feeling love?

negative

Dae-hwi is bewildered by the sight of Jinyeong in front of him. He is clearly sitting in the classroom listening to music, but at some point he looks up and sees Jinyeong next to him.

What are you doing here?

We take the class together. I'm bored alone, so I'm going to take it with you.

Are you okay?

......

Dae-hwi doesn't know how to respond to Jin-young's words, so he just says nothing. Jin-young thinks that's permission. There are still about 20 minutes left, and Jin-young leaves the classroom for a moment. Dae-hwi is dazed. After a while, Dae-hwi goes out to cool his head, and Jin-young is with Ji-hoon.

Jinyoung is talking to Jihoon when Daehwi happens to see this.

Why did you come? I can go later.

박지훈

Okay, I was just passing by.

배진영

Are you feeling okay? Did you take your medicine?

박지훈 image

박지훈

Why are you so affectionate today? It doesn't suit you.

배진영 image

배진영

I'm worried because my friend is sick. What's the big deal?

박지훈 image

박지훈

Don't worry, I'm fine, just go to class.

Jinyoung looks at Jihoon with genuine concern. Jihoon avoids his gaze as if it's burdensome.

박지훈

Hey, don't look at me like that. It's burdensome.

배진영

It's disappointing, Park Ji-hoon. He used to get upset when people didn't worry about him, but he's changed.

박지훈 image

박지훈

That's because I liked you back then...

Ji-hoon pauses mid-sentence. A brief silence flows. Jin-young forces a smile.

Go quickly

Jihoon says he understands and goes to his class, while Jinyoung sighs and leans against the wall. Luckily, there's no one there, but if someone saw him, they might swear at him for acting like a piece of shit.

Dae-hwi, who overheard the conversation, felt strange and headed to the playground.

Dae-hwi feels strange as he recalls the situation from earlier, and his heart pounds. At that moment, the word "jealousy" flashes through his mind, and Dae-hwi is left dumbfounded.

이대휘

(Jealousy? Jealousy? That's ridiculous. Why did I....ha... Really, really like Bae Jin-young? Do you like him again? Lee Dae-hwi, are you crazy? When will you forget and why why.....why....)

Dae-hwi makes a vain expression. Although it's not obvious, tears well up in his eyes. Dae-hwi mutters softly.

I don't want to like you... I don't want to get hurt...

Dae-hwi's sad and painful mutterings fly into the sky. Dae-hwi finally lowers his head.
