My name disappeared

최유현
ha....

Yuhyeon's sigh spread through the classroom.

Eunbi, who left the classroom saying she was going to the restroom for a moment,

Students who haven't gone to school yet...

In the classroom where only Yuhyeon remained

Yuhyeon sighed again.


최유현
ha....

Yuhyeon, who had been staring into the void for a moment,

I looked around the classroom.

Yuhyeon gazes at the neatly organized classroom and then rests his head on the desk.

He seemed to have a lot of thoughts.


최유현
.... It's frustrating....


최유현
I should at least get out...

Yuhyeon got up from his seat and left the classroom.

and.....

Not long after, Eunbi, who had gone to the restroom, came back into the classroom.


정은비
Yuh....

Eunbi looking for Yuhyeon as soon as she enters the classroom

But there was no one in the classroom, and

The desolate air welcomed Eunbi.


정은비
Choi Yuhyeon...?

Eunbi looked flustered as she couldn't see Yuhyeon, who should have been in the classroom.


정은비
... Where did it go..?

Eunbi went to the rooftop just in case.

Squeak-

The rooftop door opened cautiously.


정은비
Choi Yuhyeon!! Are you there?

I looked for Yuhyeon, but Yuhyeon is nowhere to be seen.


정은비
Didn't they go to the rooftop...?

Eunbi went back to the classroom.

When I went to the classroom, one of my friends had already arrived at school, but

Yuhyeon was not visible.


정은비
Um... by any chance, did you see Yuhyeon on the way into the classroom...?

친구
Choi Yu-hyeon?


정은비
huh..

친구
You know that bench we see on our way to school?


정은비
huh

친구
He was sitting there, wasn't he?


정은비
Oh, really?


정은비
thank you!

친구
okay

Eunbi headed straight to the sports field.

Eunbi hurried to the bench located on one side of the playground.

Yuhyeon was sitting there spacing out.


정은비
ha...

Eunbi let out a sigh of relief after confirming that Yuhyeon was safe and sound.


정은비
Choi Yu-hyeon...


최유현
... uh?

Yuhyeon, who was spacing out, looked towards the direction of the sound at the sound of Eunbi's voice.


최유현
Jeong... Eunbi...?


정은비
Yeah, it's me.


최유현
How did you get here....


정은비
Never mind that, hey


최유현
uh...?


정은비
Why did you suddenly come here?


정은비
I went to the restroom and then back to the classroom, and I was so flustered and surprised that you weren't there.


정은비
I went up to the rooftop and came back down.


최유현
... sorry,


최유현
I didn't mean to worry you...


최유현
Just... a little.....


최유현
I feel so... stifled somewhere...


정은비
.....


정은비
Is it because of what happened last time?


최유현
... I'm not sure


최유현
I don't know why I'm acting like this....


정은비
....


최유현
Just... something....


최유현
I felt so stuck...


최유현
I just... without even realizing it... I ended up here in an instant......


정은비
... okay


정은비
Let's go in now.


최유현
huh...

As school time approached,

The friends slowly entered the classroom.


최유현
Ah... I'm sleepy....


정은비
Do you want to get some sleep?


정은비
I'll wake you up when the teacher comes.


최유현
Yeah... I'll leave it to you...

Yuhyeon leaned his head on the desk,

Not long after, I fell asleep.

Eunbi watching Yuhyeon sleeping

Soon after, I lay down and tidied Yuhyeon's messy hair.


정은비
I hope... there won't be any more hardships... Yuhyeon....


정은비
I want to see you smiling because you're happy....


정은비
That day... will... come... someday, right...?
