My teacher
sincerity


My whole body is hot... My body tingles and I breathe heavily.

Is it a pretty bad cold and body aches?

The words ringing in my ears make my head throb and my whole body feel heavy.


여주
ha..

As I let out a groan while lying face down, it seemed like Seong-un was calling me...

Not long after, I sat up, repeatedly opened and closed my blurry eyes, and then fainted from dizziness.

And someone held me in their arms and...

Slowly opening his eyes in his embrace, he muttered.

Clutching the collar...


여주
Please... give me a break...

A voice sighing at my words.


윤지성
... Yeoju..

As soon as my name came out of his mouth, tears finally streamed down.

After arriving at the emergency room, Jisung was pacing back and forth beside me as I lay in the bed, neither too close nor too far away.


여주
If you're that worried, at least hold their hand.

Pretending to give in to my words, he walks over, takes my hand, and strokes it.

This person treats even such small actions as precious and is cautious.


윤지성
are you okay?


여주
It's bearable.

The doctor said something different.

He urged me to take good care of him, saying that he is exhausted all over and doesn't seem to be eating well.


윤지성
You don't have to endure it.


윤지성
If it hurts, you should get treatment... why endure it?


여주
... hospital... I've never gone with anyone...

Has it become a habit? It seems I've forgotten how to act for my own sake...

Come to think of it, I don't even bring up the fact that I'm sick...

I realized I had never been to a hospital because my body hurt.


윤지성
...Ha... You really...

And then he cried.

Jisung cries for me, hates my pain, feels sorry for me... thinking of me


여주
....teacher..

I wanted to get up and hug Naejiseong, but...

My body wouldn't obey and let out a groan.


여주
eww...

As I squeezed my eyes shut with a dizzy head, Jisung grabbed my hand with both of his own.


윤지성
Just lie down... Don't overexert yourself...


여주
Ah... but still, the teacher is crying, so I want to give them a hug...

Jisung smiled slightly at my words and opened his mouth.


윤지성
I won't cry, it's okay..


여주
teacher..


윤지성
okay


여주
Don't draw a line..


윤지성
...


여주
Don't give me standards I have to surpass... just... without thinking


여주
Let's just stay like that, as if we're nothing to each other.


여주
Um... I want to do that..

I wish we could just look at each other as if it were nothing...

I'll be satisfied with that, so I hope you don't turn your back on me or push me away..

My heart aches. Because of those words, I couldn't tell you that I like you...


윤지성
Okay, let's each stand in our own place..

I cowardly ran away again, and you muster up courage again.


여주
...It's nice being sick... It listens to me well... I should get sick often.


윤지성
Don't say that... I'm already sorry and... upset.

But... human greed is... even if you have some, if you have more... you just want to receive even more.

Because the small sprout needed a lot of water and nutrients and had to be in the sunlight all day long

That is how I feel.


여주
Teacher... I like you

I will continue to need Yoon Ji-sung until my little sprout grows big and strong.
