My first love at kindergarten, met through an advertisement

03. Graduation photo

변백현

The food today was really bad.

김민석

So. What is fish gas? Fish gas.

도경수

I thought the fish gas was delicious.

김민석

I find Do Kyungsoo's tongue the most amazing.

변백현

The fish gas was fine for me, but the chicken skewers tasted like bricks.

김준면

My precious front teeth... are you doing well?

김종인

I want to hit you with my fist.

김준면

You should be thankful I left my tools here today.

김종인

You are the one.

...The fish gas and chicken skewers were both delicious...

변백현

Hello, Jooyeon!

한주연

Huh? Hey, hi.

변백현

The lunch wasn't that great today, was it?

I liked it...

한주연

Yeah, that's right.

변백현

Want to go to the store?

한주연

Store: Um, I don't want to go.

변백현

Really? I understand.

한주연

huh.

변백현

Auntie! Give me one chocolate milk and one cream puff!!

I stood in front of the vending machine across the street, holding chocolate milk and a cream puff in both hands.

변백현

Are there any grapes...

At that time, his favorite thing was grape juice from the vending machine.

We would save up 100 or 200 won each and buy them from the vending machine near the kindergarten.

On my way to class with grape juice

Imagine that kid drinking it while smiling

I felt good.

When I got to the classroom, Jooyeon was lying face down on the desk, sleeping.

The blinds are broken and I can't lower them, but unfortunately I'm sitting by the window.

변백현

Hmm...

I sat down carefully and tried to block the sunlight with my hand.

I covered my face with one hand, but I thought my face would get hot, so I covered it with both hands.

The posture was a little weird, but it was okay.

After doing that for over 10 minutes, my arm started to feel numb.

I took a deep breath and tried to hold on, but a weight was on one shoulder.

Why are the blinds broken?

I feel a bit resentful.

도경수

? Hey, what are you doing?

김종인

Yeah, that's really funny.

김민석

Take a picture.

김준면

I knew it would happen, so I already took the picture.

Those are really...

변백현

Be quiet...

한주연

Hyuna! Let's put in the coins quickly!

변백현

Hmm! Wait a minute, that's too high...

한주연

Hmm... there's a brick over there! Let's use that!

변백현

okay!

At the young age of six, he dragged a brick the size of his face.

My hands were covered in dirt, but I was happy that I could use the vending machine.

한주연

Okay! Now do it!

변백현

Yeah!

Hyun-i put five 100 won coins into the vending machine and I pressed the grape compartment.

I heard a loud noise and opened the vending machine to find grape juice.

한주연

looks delicious.

변백현

Wait, I'll tell you!

He was opening the can lid with his mouth wide open and his cheeks extremely swollen.

It seemed like it was making more noise than strength, but I was so excited to drink grape juice that I didn't care.

And with a pleasant thud, the can was opened.

변백현

Come on! Eat some kite!

한주연

Thank you Hyuna!

When I opened my eyes, I saw Baekhyun in front of me, seemingly blocking the sun with both hands.

변백현

Hey, be quiet. You'll wake the kid.

김민석

Do you know what a really funny pose you have?

변백현

I know, too. So, a little... huh?

For a moment, our eyes met.

한주연

uh...?

Baekhyun Byun trembled, lowered his arm, and handed over the grape juice.

변백현

Drink this.

How did you know I like grape juice?

It looked exactly like the grape juice from the vending machine in my dream.

한주연

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

변백현

huh.

Baekhyun Byun left the classroom with his friends.

I've been drinking grape juice since I was little, but it still tastes good.

But who is that kid in my dream?

It doesn't seem to matter who it is.

Because right now, we need to focus on the present.

한주연

...It's gotten a little sweeter.

I haven't been able to drink it because I haven't seen it in vending machines lately, so it seems to have gotten a bit sweeter.

But it's grape juice

Everything is okay.

김민석

You really take care of your first love.

김종인

Yeah, please do that for us too.

변백현

Am I crazy?

김민석

Why are you like that to your first love but to us?

변백현

Jooyeon is Jooyeon and you guys are you guys.

김준면

It looks like the lead is already the lead.

김종인

I'm worth ten thousand won for this coin.

김민석

me too.

도경수

I have 20,000 won on rice cakes.

김준면

Hmm. I'm going to get 50,000 won for the rice cake.

도경수

You know that if you get a promotion, you have to give me all the money, right?

변백현

I'm the one who's involved, so why are you accepting it?

도경수

If you're a rice cake lover, you're dating.

변백현

That's right.

도경수

Besides that, is there anything else you want from your first love?

변백현

...

Come to think of it, I've been in love for 12 years

I had no wishes.

If there was one, there was only one.

That kid is smiling brightly.

변백현

No. There is nothing more.

이승기

Class is starting, why aren't they coming in?

도경수

Sorry for being late.

김종인

sorry.

김민석

Sorry for being late.

김준면

The main character appears at the end.

이승기

I wonder when Junmyeon's narcissism will disappear.

김준면

Seunggi, you're a narcissist.

김준면

Don't you know how to love yourself?

이승기

I love you so much.

김준면

What can I do with such beauty?

이승기

Sit down and be quiet.

변백현

Teacher, I put it in my arm.

이승기

Go to the health center.

변백현

yes.

Did you come here because of me earlier...?

변백현

That teacher.

이승기

why.

변백현

I have no strength in my arms, so the door won't open.

이승기

Ha... Kyungsoo went with me.

도경수

I think it would be more appropriate to have my partner, Han Joo-yeon, do it instead of me.

이승기

Okay. Then Jooyeon, come with me.

한주연

yes?

Well, it's true that this happened because of me.

한주연

yes.

변백현

You came all the way here for no reason...

한주연

No, it's okay.

When I entered the infirmary, it seemed like the teacher had left for a moment.

변백현

I won't be able to hear the class. Is that okay?

Ah, the class content...

한주연

Um... it's okay.

It'll be okay since it's my homeroom subject.

I have nothing more to say, it's too quiet

It was suffocatingly awkward.

변백현

I.

한주연

that.

한주연

uh?

변백현

You speak first.

한주연

huh...

한주연

Thank you for earlier.

변백현

huh?

한주연

Grape juice and sun protection.

한주연

I like grape juice the best.

변백현

thank god.

한주연

What do you have to say?

변백현

I hope you enjoyed the grape juice.

한주연

Oh, I drank really well.

변백현

really?

한주연

huh.

변백현

thank god.

Byun Baek-hyun smiles brightly, saying that it is fortunate.

After a little more silence, the school nurse came.

The teacher applied a paste.

A little massage was included as a bonus.

I got a phone call while I was walking home from school.

It's Seunghee.

한주연

📞Yeah, why?

현승희

📞Where are you now?

한주연

📞 It's still school. I'm just leaving school.

현승희

📞 Really? Then we'll go to your house.

한주연

📞 Huh? Okay.

The call was disconnected.

한주연

Isn't this a notice...?

변백현

Goodbye, Jooyeon!

한주연

You too, have a good trip.

The affinity seems really good.

현승희

Are you here?

한주연

Are you the landlord?

현승희

no?

최예나

Put your bag down quickly and come to work.

한주연

why?

최예나

Cheese tteokbokki.

한주연

As expected, it's you guys.

I threw my bag in a corner and sat down at the table.

한주연

Dear friends.

현승희

Why are you so disgusting?

최예나

I guess the food wasn't tasty today.

한주연

The food was okay...

현승희

Then why is that?

한주연

There's a kid at school who's really friendly, right?

최예나

huh.

한주연

How do we become friends?

한주연

It's the seat next to me.

현승희

They say you're friendly.

최예나

Then we'll become friends quickly.

한주연

...Is that so?

최예나

of course.

현승희

Hey, you know he's friendly because you're getting close to him.

한주연

Oh, I see.

한주연

Oh, right.

한주연

While you're here, you should check this out.

현승희

What is it?

한주연

Han Joo-yeon during her time at Leeds.

I took out my kindergarten yearbook.

최예나

Didn't you say you went to two kindergartens?

한주연

Yes. I went to one place from ages 4 to 6.

한주연

I went to the place where I took my graduation photo when I was 7.

현승희

So you weren't very close with the kids here?

한주연

little?

최예나

You've been shy since you were little...

한주연

No, it's not.

한주연

uh?

Looking at my personal photos, I saw a notebook I had written in a long time ago.

한주연

Why is this here too?

최예나

It's written above. You take a picture of your favorite thing.

한주연

I think I received this as an elementary school entrance gift?

최예나

I guess not.

현승희

hmm.

한주연

Is that so...

Then who did you get it from?
