My first love at kindergarten, met through an advertisement

The food today was really bad.

김민석 image

김민석

So. What is fish gas? Fish gas.

도경수 image

도경수

I thought the fish gas was delicious.

김민석 image

김민석

I find Do Kyungsoo's tongue the most amazing.

변백현 image

변백현

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

김준면 image

김준면

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

김종인 image

김종인

I want to hit you with my fist.

김준면 image

김준면

You should be thankful I left my tools here today.

김종인 image

김종인

You are the one.

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

변백현 image

변백현

Hello, Jooyeon!

한주연 image

한주연

Huh? Hey, hi.

변백현 image

변백현

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

I liked it...

한주연 image

한주연

Yeah, that's right.

변백현 image

변백현

Want to go to the store?

한주연 image

한주연

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

변백현 image

변백현

Really? I understand.

한주연 image

한주연

huh.

변백현 image

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 image

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 image

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 image

도경수

? Hey, what are you doing?

김종인 image

김종인

Yeah, that's really funny.

김민석 image

김민석

Take a picture.

김준면 image

김준면

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

Those are really...

변백현 image

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 image

변백현

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

김민석 image

김민석

Do you know what a really funny pose you have?

변백현 image

변백현

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

For a moment, our eyes met.

한주연 image

한주연

uh...?

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

변백현 image

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 image

한주연

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

변백현 image

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 image

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 image

김민석

You really take care of your first love.

김종인 image

김종인

Yeah, please do that for us too.

변백현 image

변백현

Am I crazy?

김민석 image

김민석

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

변백현 image

변백현

Jooyeon is Jooyeon and you guys are you guys.

김준면 image

김준면

It looks like the lead is already the lead.

김종인 image

김종인

I'm worth ten thousand won for this coin.

김민석 image

김민석

me too.

도경수 image

도경수

I have 20,000 won on rice cakes.

김준면 image

김준면

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

도경수 image

도경수

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

변백현 image

변백현

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

도경수 image

도경수

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

변백현 image

변백현

That's right.

도경수 image

도경수

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

변백현 image

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 image

변백현

No. There is nothing more.

이승기 image

이승기

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

도경수 image

도경수

Sorry for being late.

김종인 image

김종인

sorry.

김민석 image

김민석

Sorry for being late.

김준면 image

김준면

The main character appears at the end.

이승기 image

이승기

I wonder when Junmyeon's narcissism will disappear.

김준면 image

김준면

Seunggi, you're a narcissist.

김준면 image

김준면

Don't you know how to love yourself?

이승기 image

이승기

I love you so much.

김준면 image

김준면

What can I do with such beauty?

이승기 image

이승기

Sit down and be quiet.

변백현 image

변백현

Teacher, I put it in my arm.

이승기 image

이승기

Go to the health center.

변백현 image

변백현

yes.

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

변백현 image

변백현

That teacher.

이승기 image

이승기

why.

변백현 image

변백현

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

이승기 image

이승기

Ha... Kyungsoo went with me.

도경수 image

도경수

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

이승기 image

이승기

Okay. Then Jooyeon, come with me.

한주연 image

한주연

yes?

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

한주연 image

한주연

yes.

변백현 image

변백현

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

한주연 image

한주연

No, it's okay.

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

변백현 image

변백현

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

Ah, the class content...

한주연 image

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 image

변백현

I.

한주연 image

한주연

that.

한주연 image

한주연

uh?

변백현 image

변백현

You speak first.

한주연 image

한주연

huh...

한주연 image

한주연

Thank you for earlier.

변백현 image

변백현

huh?

한주연 image

한주연

Grape juice and sun protection.

한주연 image

한주연

I like grape juice the best.

변백현 image

변백현

thank god.

한주연 image

한주연

What do you have to say?

변백현 image

변백현

I hope you enjoyed the grape juice.

한주연 image

한주연

Oh, I drank really well.

변백현 image

변백현

really?

한주연 image

한주연

huh.

변백현 image

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 image

한주연

📞Yeah, why?

현승희 image

현승희

📞Where are you now?

한주연 image

한주연

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

현승희 image

현승희

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

한주연 image

한주연

📞 Huh? Okay.

The call was disconnected.

한주연 image

한주연

Isn't this a notice...?

변백현 image

변백현

Goodbye, Jooyeon!

한주연 image

한주연

You too, have a good trip.

The affinity seems really good.

현승희 image

현승희

Are you here?

한주연 image

한주연

Are you the landlord?

현승희 image

현승희

no?

최예나 image

최예나

Put your bag down quickly and come to work.

한주연 image

한주연

why?

최예나 image

최예나

Cheese tteokbokki.

한주연 image

한주연

As expected, it's you guys.

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

한주연 image

한주연

Dear friends.

현승희 image

현승희

Why are you so disgusting?

최예나 image

최예나

I guess the food wasn't tasty today.

한주연 image

한주연

The food was okay...

현승희 image

현승희

Then why is that?

한주연 image

한주연

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

최예나 image

최예나

huh.

한주연 image

한주연

How do we become friends?

한주연 image

한주연

It's the seat next to me.

현승희 image

현승희

They say you're friendly.

최예나 image

최예나

Then we'll become friends quickly.

한주연 image

한주연

...Is that so?

최예나 image

최예나

of course.

현승희 image

현승희

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

한주연 image

한주연

Oh, I see.

한주연 image

한주연

Oh, right.

한주연 image

한주연

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

현승희 image

현승희

What is it?

한주연 image

한주연

Han Joo-yeon during her time at Leeds.

I took out my kindergarten yearbook.

최예나 image

최예나

Didn't you say you went to two kindergartens?

한주연 image

한주연

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

한주연 image

한주연

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

현승희 image

현승희

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

한주연 image

한주연

little?

최예나 image

최예나

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

한주연 image

한주연

No, it's not.

한주연 image

한주연

uh?

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

한주연 image

한주연

Why is this here too?

최예나 image

최예나

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

한주연 image

한주연

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

최예나 image

최예나

I guess not.

현승희 image

현승희

hmm.

한주연 image

한주연

Is that so...

Then who did you get it from?
