Chapter 7. Lies



유아현
What do you mean... something to say?

I followed Wonwoo up to the rooftop.

Wonwoo was looking at the floor as if he was thinking.


전원우
hmm...

He looked up at the sky as if he had made up his mind, then looked straight into my eyes.


전원우
I broke up.


유아현
Okay, I heard.


유아현
But why..?


전원우
Are you okay?


유아현
...what?

I'm happy, but should I say I'm happy?


전원우
I thought you liked me.


유아현
?!

I was embarrassed because I felt like my thoughts had been discovered.


전원우
Your face turns red whenever we make eye contact.


전원우
The neck too.


전원우
Didn't you know?


유아현
...

Why are you being so different when you haven't even confessed properly yet?

I lowered my gaze to the floor.


전원우
But me too,


유아현
Why are you so sure?

I didn't even listen to Wonwoo's words, but words just came out of my mouth.


전원우
what..?


유아현
I, I don't like you.

I lied and said I didn't like it because I didn't want to be teased.


전원우
I heard that, what is it?


유아현
Where did you hear that?


전원우
What you say with your friends.


유아현
ah,


유아현
That's what Kim Min-gyu was talking about.


전원우
what?

Jeon Won-woo's brow furrowed.

It hurt like a nail was being driven into my heart.


유아현
Oh, don't get me wrong.


전원우
I thought you liked me.


전원우
But that wasn't the case.


전원우
sorry,


전원우
I guess I drank the kimchi stew first.


유아현
what?


전원우
I like you.


전원우
But I just got dumped by you.


전원우
I'll go down first.

Jeon Won-woo opened the rooftop door and went out.


유아현
Wh,what...

I didn't want to be hurt, so I hurt Wonwoo.

No,

I like Jeon Won-woo, not Kim Min-kyu...

I wanted to follow and catch him.

But my feet won't move.

I wanted to follow him, catch him, and say this.



I like you too.






Ring, ring, ring.


유아현
It's over...

I rang the bell but didn't go back to the classroom.


유아현
It must be gym time.

I didn't want to go even more because it was gym class.




김연우
Why didn't you come to class?


유아현
...


김연우
What the heck, you cried?!


유아현
Hey, shh!

Yeonwoo immediately realized that I was crying.


김연우
So why are you crying?


김연우
What kind of kid is he?


유아현
...


유아현
under...


김연우
Speak when you have something nice to say.


유아현
Jeon Won-woo said he likes me.


김연우
What? That's great!


김연우
But why are you crying?


유아현
I lied.




I told him everything that happened on the rooftop.


김연우
under...


김연우
You too...


유아현
I know, it's pathetic.


김연우
If you know, why are you just staying still?


김연우
Go and tell her you like her.


유아현
But when I stand in front of him, my mouth just won't open.


김연우
frustrated...


김연우
You could just go and say something,


유아현
...


김연우
So that's why you didn't come to gym class?


김연우
Because Jeon Won-woo is there?


유아현
...huh.


김연우
...


김연우
Yeah, that could be it.


김연우
Cheer up.
