MIRROR [BL]
18. Opportunity
전 웅
Mydong. What happened to them today? They're not talking.
김동현
Yeah... we were bickering every day.
이대휘
.....
Woojin, who would normally have gone to Daehwi as soon as he entered school, ignored him this time and went straight to his class. Daehwi's expression didn't look good either.
전 웅
Hey, did you fight with him? I don't think we'll ever fight again...
이대휘
We didn't fight, did we? No, maybe it's just me who thinks that...
전 웅
What do you mean? Um... what did you say to Park Woojin again?
이대휘
A little...? I, I don't know...! Just hurry up and go in...
I pushed Dong-hyun and Woong-i on the back and told them to hurry up and go several times. I thought it would be better to go back to the class in this situation.
전 웅
Park Woojin confessed, but Daehwi rejected him? You can tell just by looking at him.
김동현
Hey, Dae-hwi seems to like Woo-jin too, but... it's time to accept it now.
While they were muttering yes and no, Woojin's laughter was heard in the hallway. Oh, it was true that it was his laughter... but Park Woojin laughs like that?
전 웅
What the heck, did he eat something wrong? More importantly, why did he come here...
김동현
Is that Woojin laughing? What the heck, what's going on? LOL
박우진
Hyung, come out quicklyㅋㅋㅋ Hyung Woong!!
전 웅
What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing like that?
박지훈
Woong hyung! It's been so long haha ...
Woojin was beside him, laughing happily and saying hello to Woong. Oh, wait a minute... Park Jihoon? Park Jihoon?
전 웅
What, what is it... Park Ji-hoon? You said you weren't coming back to Korea!
박지훈
I came because I missed you, Woojin, and the other kids. Aren't you happy to see me, hyung?
전 웅
No, not happy! Come on, should I give you a hug?
박지훈
Oh, no! I'm going to hug Woojin.
전 웅
...even if I offer to hug you, you say no. Okay, I won't hug you either.
김동현
Huh? Who's hugging whom?
박지훈
Wow... he's so handsome. If there was someone like him, I should have told him!
전 웅
What are you talking about? Just hurry up and go to class. What are you going to do if you're late for class?
Only then did I look at my watch and quickly run to my classroom. The hallway was filled with laughter.
전 웅
Woojin and Jihoon were really close... Wow, I thought they'd never come back.
김동현
...I'm not talking to you.
전 웅
What? Why are you like that again... Are you upset, Donghyun? Oh my gosh lol
김동현
No, really? Who said I was upset? It's just... because you keep seeing other people...
전 웅
Are you jealous of that? He's my younger sibling, someone I was close with when we were younger.
No matter how many times Woong-i tried to talk, Dong-hyun couldn't stop his protruding mouth. He'd get jealous all of a sudden...
김동현
Then what about Dae-hwi? Ji-hoon, I think... he'll probably hang out with that kid.
전 웅
Daehwi has a lot of friends. He's practically the most popular kid in our school. What's there to worry about?
김동현
But still...we went together every day...
전 웅
I told you you'd have over 100 friends, right? You were close with Dae-hwi, and that too...
김동현
I can see what Dae-hwi Woo-jin likes. Well...something will work out somehow.
Unlike usual, Woojin hyung wasn't at the front of the class. He'd always been there for me, but now that he was gone, a corner of my heart felt empty.
이대휘
You're not coming, are you? Because I said that yesterday...
"But won't they come? I wonder if they'll come if I just wait a little longer." I thought, loitering in front of the classroom. I even considered going up one floor to Woojin's classroom.
이대휘
...There's no Ollie...But why am I waiting...
I guess I've gotten used to my old life. A life of just receiving. When people around me get angry, I just try to be cute and deal with it. Yeah, that's how I used to act.
이대휘
Not this time, right? This isn't about being angry or upset... or anything.
In the end, I decided to move up to the second floor. I couldn't go on like this. I felt bad for rejecting your confession so harshly.
As I was going upstairs, I heard Woojin's voice. Listening closely, I realized he was talking to someone, and he seemed to be smiling, unlike when I was with him.
박우진
You're secretly good at studying, aren't you? I gave up a long time ago...
박지훈
You studied better than me. Are you giving up? Keep going... Use that smart brain of yours to play games.
Who's next to me? Is it a new friend? A face I've never seen before. Did I not recognize it? That was the only thought running through my head.
박우진
...What, you weren't going? What are you doing here?
We ended up bumping into each other halfway up the stairs. Seeing him like this, I couldn't think of anything to say, so I just stood there like an idiot.
이대휘
Well...I have to go there for a bit.
After a brief glance, he resumed his conversation and passed me by. He stood there for a long time, halfway down the stairs. What kind of feeling was this?
이대휘
Who is next to me...who is smiling like that...
After running for a while, I followed the path Woojin was taking. My body seemed to move on its own. I told him to run quickly and go.
이대휘
Huh, huh... Woojin hyung..!
I ran quickly and went there, and the friend who had been laughing and talking with Woojin was gone, probably because he had gone a different way, and I was alone.
박우진
...What, why do you keep doing that?
이대휘
Oh, no... that...
박우진
You drew the line as if you never wanted to see me again, and now you want me to do something about it?
이대휘
.....
Suddenly, I was speechless. "Yeah, you did that yesterday, so why am I doing this?" Woojin-hyung looked at me with cold eyes.
박우진
I tried not to hate you, but now I can't.
이대휘
Tongue, bro..! No, I was too much yesterday...
박우진
Please. I told you I don't like you anymore.
이대휘
.....
박우진
You should feel this way too, think about what I've been like all this time.
He slowly walked away from me, leaving behind only cold words. As soon as he left, tears welled up in his eyes, and I felt as if a knife had been stabbed into my heart.
이대휘
Why did you refuse back then... Lee Dae-hwi, really...
I wish Woojin had given me a chance. Then I could really do well...
박지훈
By the way, do you have someone you like? I was just curious.
박우진
Um... there was. But I've forgotten all about it now. He was so stubborn towards me...
박지훈
Ah...then there isn't one? I wonder who will take our Woojinㅋㅋㅋ
박우진
Can't you take me with you?
박지훈
...Huh? Who brought it...
박우진
Oh, no. I misspoke. Just ignore it.
박지훈
.....
박지훈
I actually came here because of you?
박우진
Because of me...? Did I do something wrong...
박지훈
No, that's not it... I was just curious about what you were doing while I was gone, whether you were doing well like before, whether you were happy... things like that.
박우진
Why is that...
박지훈
Because I missed you so much. I was worried you might already be dating someone...
박지훈
To sum it up in one word, I like you.
My heart started pounding rapidly. It wasn't this fast even when I was with Dae-hwi, but with Ji-hoon, something felt very, very different.
박지훈
I don't think I'll be able to say it if I don't do it now... If you don't like it, just say so!
If it were Daehwi, he would have missed this opportunity,
박우진
No, I like you too.
Unlike Daehwi, I took this opportunity.
전 웅
Hwaaam... I'm sleepy. I slept for 12 hours...
As soon as I lay down on the bed, the phone next to me vibrated. When I woke up and checked, I saw a call from Woojin.
전 웅
Honey...
Tu- tu...
전 웅
...to avoid paying this fucking phone bill...
전 웅
Hey, Park Woojin. Are you doing this because of the phone bill? Oh my...
박우진
Dude, that's not important, I'm here!!!
전 웅
...Did you win the lottery?
박우진
No, it's more important than that! From today on...!
전 웅
Hang up. Hurry up...
박우진
I'm dating Park Ji Hoon starting today!!
전 웅
.....
전 웅
?????
전 웅
????????????
전 웅
M, what? Hey, who are you dating? Jihoon? Not Daehwi?
박우진
What are you saying... I don't like Dae-hwi?
전 웅
What the... what did you eat wrong? Why are you suddenly like this... what about Dae-hwi...
박우진
Stop it. If you say that name again, I'll never see you again.
전 웅
Hey Park Woojin... That's not it...
박우진
How many times have I been dumped by him? I've already given him plenty of chances.
전 웅
...Okay... First of all, congratulations on becoming a couple.
박우진
I won't accept any soulless congratulations.
전 웅
No...oh, this little shit broke up again.
전 웅
Ugh, what about Dae-hwi? Why is Park Woo-jin like this again?
대휘 엄마
Daehwi, what's going on? Why haven't you opened the door for hours? You need to eat.
이대휘
Ugh...I won't eat it..!
대휘 엄마
Are you crying? Why, why is my son crying!!
이대휘
Hwaaang..! Mom doesn't know..! No one knows why I'm like this!!!
대휘 엄마
...Is this late puberty? Anyway, come out and eat some food later!
이대휘
Hehe...I won't have a crush on you...hehe...I hate Park Woojin!!!
He stomped his feet and pounded the bed. His head was puffy, his eyes were swollen, and his face was streaked with tears. In short, he was a complete mess.
Tiring- Tiring...
이대휘
hello...
전 웅
Hey, Daehwi, you cried? What the heck, did that guy Park Woojin make you cry? You rascal..!
이대휘
Hehe...Hyung Woong...
전 웅
Oh... Did you already hear about that? About Park Woojin dating...
이대휘
...What? Who bought it? No, what did you say?
Dae-hwi, half-conscious and hearing this story, was on the verge of going crazy. It was already sad, but who was Park Woo-jin dating?
전 웅
...I didn't hear you, but you're crying like this? Um, that kid next to Park Woojin...is dating Park Jihoon.
이대휘
.....
이대휘
Who the hell is SiX Park Ji Hoon!!!!
전 웅
Oh, sorry...Dae-hwi, I didn't swear...
이대휘
Lee Dae-hwi must be a serious American bastard!!! Park Ji-hoon, that guy... Ugh..! I'm going to cry..!
전 웅
.....
휘슬
I never said I was a real person, though? Haha
휘슬
Hmm, the comments for this episode... seem a bit scary... I feel like I'm going to get scammed again ㅠㅠ Ah, it wouldn't be fun without things like this..!
휘슬
