Now promise me, cherish it
05. My Best Friend (5)
[During school recess. In the old library.]
하영
ah...
Looking at Hayoung's expression, she seemed at a loss.
지선
Are you okay? It's because of me...
하영
No, it's okay.
지선
Sorry....
하영
Since it's because of me anyway... I'll say it.
지선
....huh...
하영
This was before you transferred schools...
하영
Jiwon and I originally met in kindergarten when we were 5 years old.
하영
We've always been together since then.
지선
and...
하영
Since we're old friends, we have a lot of affection for each other...
하영
You know my personality.
하영
I like hanging out with kids and I make friends easily.
지선
Yeah. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly meet my friends at school. Thank you.
하영
But Jiwon...
하영
It's the complete opposite of me.
지선
ah...
하영
I couldn't make friends quickly, and I had a hard time adjusting to school at first.
하영
So these days, the kids I hang out with are pretty much my only friends.
지선
The kids we went with yesterday?
하영
huh.
하영
He has a hard time making friends, but once he makes friends, he becomes very close and relies on them a lot.
지선
I see...
하영
So, at first, I helped him a lot.
하영
As a result, we became closer.
지선
That happened...
지선
I... thought Jiwon was a strong type at first glance.
지선
A kid with lots of friends and popularity.
하영
It doesn't look like that on the outside.
하영
Anyway, that's why, every time I go to a new school year, I make new friends easily, and Jiwon sees that and envies me a lot.
하영
I always approach the kids first, but Jiwon can't do that.
지선
Ah...there was something like that....
지선
I never imagined Jiwon would do that...
하영
So this time too, I'm close with you, and you see that and envy me.
하영
It's not that Jiwon is a little awkward in expressing his emotions...
하영
Perhaps your feelings of envy towards me were simply expressed as jealousy towards you.
지선
I see...
지선
I want to become friends with Jiwon...
하영
I know how you feel. I'll help you.
하영
Hey! Park Ji-won!
지원
What is it...
하영
Do you have time after school?
지원
Yeah. Why?
하영
Great! We have somewhere to go together.
지원
What else are you thinking about...?
하영
Hehehe!
지원
Where is this?
지원
Whose house all of a sudden?
하영
Hehehehe. I told you we had somewhere to go together.
Hayoung rang the bell and shouted.
하영
I'm here!!!!
The door opens...
지선
hi!!!
지원
Huh?!?!? Is this Noh Ji-seon's house??
하영
Yes. Jiseon has a special invitation today!
지선
Come in quickly! Mom is preparing dinner.
지원
Why are you here all of a sudden!?!! Song Ha-young!!
하영
Hehehe >_<
09:00 PM
Hayoung and Jiwon came to visit and we had a really happy time.
We talked a lot, laughed and chatted, and finally I became close with Jiwon.
Today is a really happy day....
하영
Jiwon has gone too, so now I should probably go home too.
지선
Yeah, I guess your parents will be worried.
하영
Okay, I'll go. See you at school tomorrow!
지선
Ah! Hayoung, wait a minute!
하영
why?
지선
...thank you
하영
Hehehe, that's it!
하영
I'm done as long as you're happy!
지선
Hey... if you say that all of a sudden... it's touching...
하영
Eeeeek I'm going!!
지선
Haha okay see you tomorrow!
That night, when I fell asleep, I was so happy.
I was happy to become friends with Jiwon...
Above all, it was thanks to Hayoung.
A friend I am truly grateful for everything.
My closest friend.
Hayoung is my best friend.
